oh right...i read the post and the instructions u gave on it although i also took out the trim under the dash, that way u dont actually need a n angled screwdriver just the long bendy ones. the cars perfect now, and such an easy job ...DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ON THE FORUm as a sticky, along with any other DIY bits and pieces.

thats hilarious mate. For me, it would be showing off to some bird in my car, whilst reversing, into a car. She wasnt too impressed! -
Cheers mate, and if Venom of all ppl sell them for that price, with their usual 50% mark up, they must be shite.

diditn make a difference. Car does turn over, after 30 th time i try the ignition. Can i replace the ignition switch/coil myself??? is it dangerous to bypass it in the meantime? Can i fix it myself or bodge it in the meantime???????????? Anything!!!! Quote from kevheyawire The crank sensor bolts to front block face, just before the gearbox bell housing. Take it out (5mm allen key) and clean any swarf off the magnet, pop it back in, disconnect the battery for 15 mins to reset the ECU and then give it a whirl. could this solve the problem???????

std cobra alarm, i just spoke to nick at designadubs and went through all the possibilities, he says its probably my battery not giving enough chrge for the crank. Last time it happened months ago, this was the cause, even when fully charged. Replaced it and its been fine im gna try and knock the starter motor again, and leave the car on charge for the rest of the day. If it doesnt work, just buy another one, and a bosch this time :2gunfire: Halfords

what do you mean, with ref to legality?
-
yeh thats it, the systems starts, fuel pump etc, but it wont turn over. but the thing is this has happened b4, 6 months ago, when i let the car battery drain, all these problems emerged. The car has been fine for the alst 6 months, and again, i let the battery drain the other day, and its all started again. The car did start at one point on saturday, and i took it for a spin, and it started 3 further timesthat day, until i got home and its dead again. Ive got it on charge now, but its not making any difference, and when i unlock the car, the alarm beeps 5/6 times instead of the std 1/2. ???

Ive heard that the local govts biggest problem is unpaid tickets. However, if they still have the ticket on record, im sure that its only a matter of time b4 they could just pass the details on to a bailiff, and then that 40 pound will become 500.
-
no luck, and car still aint starting. It was fine b4 the battery conked out the other day, and this fd up thew whole system. I cant find the switch, ive looked jsut to the right of the cambelt, under the inlet pipe to the isv, and theres is just a bolt with no switch on it.
-
new battery. But ive always had these probs, need a new fuse box and ignition switch.pic below, theres the little bugger on the elft of the pic, with no where to go! I cant find the switch baz!
-
yes ive noticed but what is that? And where abouts on the rocker cover does it go? Also, car is still not starting, it must be the ignition switch, as ive had problems with it in th epast, what can i do aout it??? Is it worth taking it out and reconnecting etc????
-
:wink:
-
well it goes on when the cars off? and yeh the spade clip on it, makes it look like an earth cable. so if its touching metal on the body of the car, y would the fan go odff....eps if the cars cold, and been stadning still for a day. baffling. I guess if i can find a pic of a 16 valve engine bay, i shoould be able to see where the wire is connecetd. Worth a try.
-
heh heh na itll work eventually, the mrs is jus gna have to wait. i jsut dont get the whole brown wire thing~??? wats that all about??? its a wire running dfown the left side of the car, to underneath the air filter at the front, and its disconnected....but y does the fan start when i touch it unless the lead has something to do with the pwer failure in my car????
-
nice...i like the rear clusters as well, saw a set on ebay yesterday. Im thinking off going for either all red or heavily tinted....my cs bordeuax, and i just think the m3 rear clusters look a bit tacky on the colour.
-
ok, yeh designa dubs told me a year ago, i had an ignition switch problem. Should a changed it then!!! Ill give it a go now, the brown wire i was talking about has a spade on it as well..y would the fan turn on when i touch it on the metal bracket on the leg???? And also where in the engine bay is the starter motor>?????? is it at the back of the bay sliughtly to the right side? sorry for sounding stupid, im not too mechanically minded...yet
