well done sir, been upto the mechanics today, no spark to the plugs, put a lead from battery to coil voila engine runing.... nothing to do with my alarm just me being paranoid, after reading the insrtuctions the quick flashing was for the overide code!! will fit it tomorrow and move the live for the gauges and secure them then hopefully all wil be cool thanks steve and andrew(my oil pressure is the same as yours too) ben

really? like i say its cranking fine and was running fine untill i put the panels back in and pulled the yellow wire :doh: and i notice the alarm is flashing red quickly - i`ve looked through my manual and the fitters guide but it doesnt say anything about rapid flashing how do you check the switch BTW

turns over fine as normal so batterys fine brand new bosch silver reading 12v just wont fire (although i need to move the power - as i took it from the fan switch, but didnt realise it would vary depending on hte position of the fan :roll: but its not that as i had the car running 30 seconds before it wouldnt start to realise the voltage varies off the fan switch) i pulled the yellow wire from the oil pressure sender to dash clocks a bit but thats literaly all i did apart from refitt stereo and heater controls , there wouldnt be anything on that loom to stop it starting would there? Thanks

right fitted my volt meter and oil pressure gauge tonight and they`re up and running problem is the car will not start, it turns over but will not fire, it was started several times during installation no problems. alarm is toad Ai606 and has been fine for 4 years, reason i suspect alarm is that the led is flashing red very quickly when i`m trying to start the car, never normally does this. when the alarm is on normally and i turn the ignition the fuel pump, starter or any electrics do not work, this is still the same but now although the alarm is off all pump etc are working but it wont fire! when i`m cranking it over it seems that there is no spark any one got any ideas about why the alarm would do this?? have i caught a wire to the coil for example when refitting the panels? what ignition parts would an alarm fitter link it to? i know the brain for the alarm is behing the centre console and the wire for the siren is fed through the same hole in the bulkhead as i ran my sender wire yet to take the under dash tray on driverside off to access the brain yet as it got dark i`ll be looking tomorrow morning but as i know there is a few alarm types here thought id drop in a post for any ides! thanks in advance/hope it makes sense ben

very nice mate Q: what are the 2 HU for?

Betws-y-coed :lol: agree with you there mate 8)

there was some with black centres on the bay not long ago, they looked 8) think someone off here was selling them

Rick, nail varish mate hooker red colour :lol: the gauge ones from an audi already that colour i know there gonna light up a different colour to my dash so that might be my next job, think they`re more an orange glow than red

thanks bill, good HU and not too expensive! gauges look better without the backing i reckon!! :?:

looking good exiting rado being built ther 8)

Bojmobile, Lippy, Furk'z, richieD, chees guys!! Riley, do tell!!

got mine from demon tweeks and it was the only listed system back then worth a look now to see if they got any others

gutted for you dave please dont tell me these come in 3`s (touches lots of wood)

i`ve removed all the slidey bits from the back and dremelled the bits out, the backing is just some black plastic, i need to make another set as there a bit messy/ i`ll leave the vent shut as i dont use it normally anyway... either on my feet or at the windscreen!

had a go at mounting my gauges today... just a taster what you guys think??

excellent job mate what did you do to your filters?

tarche2, i`ve got stainless on mine janspeed, not to everyones taste but its been fine for 5 years or get one made up by the likes of powerflow etc
