Just bought a FRS and after some advice please.....
Ive just bought a 52 plate FRS as a bit of an impulse buy if im honest. Anyway, i love the car i must say, so impressed with it. Id like a bit of advice and info if possible please......
1.) It currently has a bailey dump valve that i want to change as i believe its causing stalling and tick over issues due to it being an atmospheric valve and not a recircualting one? Would this be working ASWELL as the standard one? Can i just remove it, and if so, how? Or do i have to replace it with another type, of so, which one?
2.) Every now and then when i start the car, the dash/dials dont move, then as soon as i set off they spring into life. This has only happened a couple of times but sounds like a lose connection of some sort maybe?
3.) Wheres the best place to buy discs and pads from (front and rear). Are there any good aftermarket discs available that are a good price, or is OEM the way to go here?
4.) Floor mats - anyone reccommend a set of custom/tailored ones?
5.) Wheels - Anyone reccommend a place to refurb them in the yorkshire area if possible.
Sorry for all the questions, but thought id do it all in one go rather than start half a dozen threads.
Cheers........

maybe if you need a dump valve you could try lark speed also in leeds they stop them all
also wheel place will do it in same day and strip n do tyres etc all for you just leave car with them

I just typed this about dvalves on another thread... https://passionford.com/forum/genera...ump-valve.html
People will tell you the frs won't idle right with an atmospheric dvalve but mine came with a bailey fitted and it's fine. If you disconnect the battery after fitting the car "learns" as you drive and the stalling at junctions stops.
Also you'll need a standard setup to replace it. Perhaps do a deal with luke who wants a d/valve?

Thanks for the info guys.
Well i found a split hose at the back of the inlet, and ive taped/bodged it until the new one arrives and the stalling problem seems to have been solved, so maybe it was nothing to do with the dump valve after all.
