this is my mx6 that i got for the grand sum of £40 of ebay..took a bit of a chance as it was listed as a head gasket gone with a misfire..the misfire has turned out to be (according to the memory)fuel control solenoid.havent fixed it yet as i only got the car to strip but its really to good and i could do with a nice project car...silver 2.5 V6 and everything works even the air con..head gaskets are ok..
anyone intreaseted it was ebay number 270305327008
2 question (for now lol)what mk mx6 is this???and whats the color name
I was going to tell you how the car left the factory, but it seems that registration is not on the database.
On a trailer I would think Oddy??
I might have a fuel solenoid thingy on the breaker car if you need one. No idea where it is or what it looks like so if someone has a pic I can have a look and get it off for you.
the car has been on a cherished number plate..maybe thats why its not in your records.....
the fuel thingy i havent a clue where or what it is....the code btw is 25 using a led with the blink code..i have double checked and triple checked in case i got it wrong..
pics as promised..the red corner bit in 1st 2 pics is my spec lift..these pics were taken after the car was washed first time....the rear seat has had someone throw a oil filter full of oil onto it.no problem really i will take the seat out and pressure wash it clean(I have dont that before it just takes ages to dry but i got a warm workshop)
and the FPR solenoid is between the air filter box, and the engine..
Look for a small black item with vacuum pipes, and an electrical connector.

You can just see it Jay in the 3rd pic, attached to the side of the air box. One pipe runs to the FPR and another pipe to a vac port on No.6 runner of the inlet manifold.
well i am 200 miles from home for a few days so when i get back i hope to start freeing off the brakes as the rears are a little sticky and will check the fuel valve out....
sticky rear brakes are a common problem, especially the handbrake mechanism on top of the caliper. A stripdown and lube of the internals usually sorts them.
had a look at the rear brakes through the rear wheels and the pads are low and the disks are pitted front pads are low as well...so i have decided to just put new disks and pads all round i got them cheap enough from my local motorfactors(£55 for front and rear pads and disks)..i been fitting a new (read expensive)alarm and immobilisor including trakker for the past 2 days i had the dash panels and front seats including a bit of carpet up(obviously not going into detail of what make or where i have fitted stuff on a open forum)but hopefully it wont go walkies..havent sorted the misfire yet as havent really looked into it as it has seemed better.am going to do fuel filter in the next day along with cam belt all before mot in january.....then the list will get longer..free flow air filter and exhaust.maybe get the wheels refurbished,,decent sterio(already laid the wires for amps and speakers while i did the alarm.
If you need any parts Jay shout me up as I'm breaking a car and might have any little niggly bits you need.
If your still getting that code 25 I can look for the fuel solenoid thingy for you but mine is a KLZE and i'm not sure if they are the same.
PM me if theres anything I can do for you or have a look at the car on the "j-spec breaking" thread in the for sale section. I have a lot of stuff that may be of use.
I've also got a set of 5 wheels and nearly new tyres if you want them chap which may save you on refurbing your ones. I only want beer money for bits.
Where abouts in East Anglia are you? I'm in Grantham, Lincs which isnt that far from the fens etc so we could meet up if you need anything. Just let me know mate.
