  1. I realise that this is a late response to the problem but I have the same problem - especially as the car comes up to temp. It just felt electrical. Anyway I changed plugs and thought the coils looked a bit sus' - similar looking burn marks. I asked a few people including a workshop and auto electrician and they all said coils. So I forked out a grand for a set of spitfires and the car was no better. I thought I'd run some injector cleaner thru then change the fuel filter after. Still no better. The car doesn't loose coolant and as the compression in each cylinder is OK I can assume the head gasket is. I swapped the air flow meter (with a borrowed one) and changed the O2 sensor in despiration. Finally after checking air fuel ratio with a meter, it would appear that the ratio goes way lean as it misses. The O2 sensor looked like things were lean. Anyway I'm still struggling (and a bit poorer) so be sure before you fork out the $$ for the coils. Plus if anyone has any clues why it goes lean I would be gratefull.
  2. Yes, well put, but what do we do as motorists. Ashamedly we take it. What I'm sure that we all realise though is that speed cameras DO NOT save lives. Especially when they are hidden as here in Brisbane. But the political machinations of this country are not going to kill of the cash-cow that funds the cofers. We should have better roads and perhaps better road info for young motorists not only of the dangers of speed but the other stupid and inconsiderate actions of ignorant drivers on our roads Rant over
