  1. Are you referring to the transponder near to the ignition barrel that registers the presence of the chip in the key? If so, yes - by using my spare key after disconnecting the battery terminals for 30 minutes to reset the transponder.

  2. Thanks R.O.G., unfortunately Chevy pulled out of the UK a while back (although they still sell the Corvette & Camaro at a few dealerships) and neither of the designated Service Centres that were contacted have been helpful.

  3. My 2013 1.2 Spark (UK spec) is currently off the road - engine spins but fuel pump & ECU do not activate. Fuses, fuses boxes, relays & the pump itself have all been tested. The electronics specialist trying to fix it has attempted to obtain schematics to trace the fault or speak to a technician at a couple of Chevy Service Centres without success. As I live on the Isle of Wight it is looking like I may have to transport the car to the mainland unless anyone has schematics available.

  5. In reply to the questions posted by cornflakes yesterday - nearly three months ago I removed the tube connecting the air filter box to the resonator box & drilled a few discreet holes in the airbox for good measure. I noticed an increase in induction noise throughout the rev range, but nothing to attract unwanted attention from the authorities. There was a noticeable increase in power & responsiveness from stock (particularly in 2nd & 3rd gear when I floor it) and there has, to date, been no downside to this free mod which can be reversed in a few minutes. Despite the fact that it
  6. Hi - I'm a new member from the United Kingdom. I purchased a 1.2 LT in "Honey Mellow Yellow" a week ago & am very pleased with it so far. Also run a 1.6 Chevy Tacuma which has not missed a beat in 3 years.
