The only reasons to remap a normally aspirated car are: 1. You have made some modifications to the engine. 2. You are running it on unusually bad or unusually good fuel and want to match the mapping to get the most out of the fuel 3. You are running at a different altitude all of the time. 4. You ha...

Hi mate...I'm still gathering the costs etc..I have also re-designed it so that it will enhance it's "reception" abilities somewhat...as soon as I ahve it prepared, and a decent "prototype" to show how it will work / perform...I will post a few pics etc and a cost. Should be rea...

I have a set. Depending on where you are on the continent, you could pick them up on your way back.

I am in france, 15 miles west of Macon.

I assume these are not oem, but is that a bad thing Liam?

.. and it's been detangoed! WTF?

OXO

It's important what the covering is made from. Metal is a lot different than paint or resin.

That's all. I don't want to have an argument. Good luck.

OXO

Yes I know about the Oem one. The point I am trying to get to with your design is that if the internal coil is completely surrounded by an aluminium tube, it won't work well, because the aluminium is screening it. It will be no better than a plain wire of the length of the tube. For a helical antenn...

OXO

Sorry to keep on, but is the stud connected to the aluminium part at the bottom?

OXO

So the aluminium outer is connected to the wire at the base, and the coil at the sphere end?

OXO

Is the construction a wire inside an aluminium sleeve, and the sleeve not electrically connected?

If so, then I suggest you test one as the aluminium will severely attenuate the rf signal.

Just be aware when bidding.

What is the difference? My car is LHD - would these fit?

Where are you?

I am flying into the uk next week, and I have a rh mirror with a broken base, but the glass etc is all ok.

OXO

I've sort of changed my mind. Thinking that I'd be better off waiting for some nice split rims in the winter. Prices may be keen then, and I expect I'll have a better chance of getting something nice as people do their off season upgrades. What I really want is some which will have the correct offse...

If that was my car I would never get rid. It's the perfect spec, and my favourite colour.

Needs M wing mirrors though

I did explain about the ET on the back, but he doesn't even respond at all.

Thank you. That's excellent.

Thanks JaXX.

Do you have a link where I can find the clear ones? They don't seem to be available here.

you have pm

OXO

I found these, what I think are front sidelights, not indicator repeaters. But.. The description is confusing because its says it includes orange indicator bulbs. Is it their mistake, or did some cars have indicators in the front sidelights? Or. are these not sidelights at all? http://www.ebay.co.uk...

They aren't changing all fuel. Just introducing another one.

You don't have to buy it.

Put the new resistor pack in at the weekend. Your instructions were perfect.

It's all finished.

I had the cluster out today to sort the dim airbag light, and all it turned out to be was a dim bulb.

Many thanks to all here.

OXO

Thanks Gazza. I checked with the guy. They are ET35

OXO

I've heard that re-tangoing is the way to go.

So if anyone would like to swap their facelift clear ear lights for my tango ones, get in touch.

More seriously, I'm on the lookout for clear rear lights.

OXO

Thanks R T. do you know the part number for the upgraded wiring loom?

OXO

And the position now is that I did one final reset to be sure, and the light is now off. It's is the worst outcome, because I don't know what it was that fixed it. In electronics, that usually means that it will come back at the most inconvenient moment... I haven't pulled the cluster out to see wha...

I thought I'd add to this thread instead of starting a new one. So I have the same issue; a dim air bag light.

Ahhhh, I see. I got it ;) SO.....if I had two batteries linked in series, that held a higher CCA overall, this would be fine?

Depends on the temperature of the oil, and wether you dip the clutch. Probably about 400-600 amps. Pease advise further on this... Nothing to add really. If its cold, the oil is more viscous, therefore harder to rotate the crank in. Dipping the clutch saves the starter from turning the gearbox over...

Brian, Thanks.

The car does have aircon.

Are the resistors the same part, and particularly the same as a 1.9, as Spurs Fan has one to sell

Does anyone have a copy of this procedure. That website doesn't seem to have it now.

I need to get in to change the resistor on a facelift 2.2, and I don't know how to get behind the dash.

I assume the resistor is the same as on the 1.9?
