The car is now oficially registered and taxed. I had to take it for a diagnostics apt and came out blank. It showed solenoid valve cut off fuel error Solenoid is new, injector plug checked and cleaned, and even if this sounds strange, they had me change the water temp sensor. Check engine is...

Dave, I can confirm that its an EDC car. However, just got back from a short trip in it, half way through the highway the check engine light went off. I progressively pressed through the throttle from full up to full down, the light didnt come on. I stopped on the side of the road, tried the...

I'm running out of time.... to say that in 2 days time I'll be able to have it sorted is highly optimistic... The guy who's doing the leather seats for me will have it ready this afternoon, so all I've got time to do is take off those computer boxes off and check for dry joints to see if the...

I cant remember, I'll have a look later. Thanks :)

thanks Dave, how do I check the pedal though if it works ? You have a very good point there with the pedal. Regarding the crank sensor though, I believe the car wouldnt start with the check engine light on and a faulty crank sensor ? Or am I wrong ?

Yeah I've checked all fuses. I can get my hands on a new rear wiper mech today, so No real issues there, I'll probably take your advice though first. :) The real issues though that need to be sorted are the ABS which I hope its the code I found and they will be fixed after I replace the sensor...

Been too long , I need to get my stuff together... Right, The car has passed through its MOT, but in order to re-register it back on the road I need to fix a few more things... First of all, after my last posts, I repaired the lights, replaced the airbag crash sensor, repaired the rear bumper...

Problem SOLVED !!!! :) Turns out, the Engine Grounds weren't as good as I thought they were ! Easy fix, but it was messing with my head because I was ruling it out ! Guys, I need: Both Sunroof Mechanisms An airbag sensor (AMR2705) a controller switch for the electric front left seat...

Really been messing with my head lately. New battery, alternator charging at 13.8 volts, grounds checked, starter refurbished, no losses found. Car starts when cold, drive it for 30 mins, then it barely turns the engine. Got a replacement battery, same thing. But when I jump start it, it...

Thanks :-) Yes it is ;-)

Havent done anything to mine yet mate, just usage, it might be a bit better from hi to low, but locks is very hard. Especially low lock. Thats the hardest. I talked to an autoelectrician friend of mine. He recons its the starter as well. I hope it doesnt cost much to refurb it, as I'm also...

I re-checked everything. Its got to be the starter :(

Ah true ! So you're saying that I might get the current, but not the juice !!!:cool: New rectifier costs about 30 euros so I'll do my checks

Guys, I've got an issue thats been bothering me for the past couple of weeks. New big battery 100amps installed. If I crank in the morning, it starts If I drive for 10mins and turn it off, it barely turns the engine and it wont start. Measured my alternator. It gives out 13.6V with lights on...

Scared ****less to try it while rolling :eek: Next Saturday theres another outing with the guys. I'll see how it goes after I grease it up ;-) Add me as a friend on FB and I'll share the vids :-) Chris Alfa Corse

Try these: 1st attempt with Lo and then when I got stuck to what I thought was LOCK Facebook 2nd attempt with Hi and LOCK from the bottom of the trail Facebook

Great ! Thanks Dave These are 2 html files that direct you to the Facebook Vids uploaded by my mate. If you have a facebook account, it should work and you should be able to see them. Although you cant actually see how steep it is from the video, take my word for it, it was STEEP ...

Hi Dave, Yes the transfer box lever... Well, Hi and Lo works (obviously Hi works otherwise I wouldnt be going anywhere). When I was going up a steep hill with loose gravel and big holes, I started with just the LO position. When I got stuck, a few metres before the top, I pushed left towards...

Thanks for the info :) It would be nice to know about the 4x4 selector as well though... Anyone ?

Took it on its first off road trip today. Very happy with the results, but I do have some questions. Remember its an automatic. So first of all I found the 4x4 gear selector to be very stiff and hard to go from H to L. H to N is easy but N to L was really a pain and I was in Neutral gear...
