Posted this one a few years ago when I discovered my left indictor doesn’t cancel unless I do almost a 90 degree turn. I'd just made a left turn and was hurtling down this country lane when I only just missed a car pulling out of an estate fom a road on the left. They obviousely thought I was turning in. The music was on and my hands covered the indicator lights so I didnt notice. I eventually installed audible repeaters so at least I could hear above the music. However I was wondering has anyone had the same problem and managed to fix the route cause ie the cancelling mechanism on the steering column?

Hi Mull Got to say its more than kind of you to put yourself out like this. Ive just Pm'ed you and hope it worked as havent used this pm business before . In case it didnt arrive I'd be more than happy to split the cost of the ebay copy with you plus any on costs as its still going to be cheap for me. Let me know here if you received it and are happy with the content and we can make the necessary arrangements. Cheers Dicky

Ran a search but could only find US version. Is there a free download of the UK version anywhere. If I have to buy a copy can anyone recommend a supplier? what are the eBay copies like? Cheers Dicky

I had problems with the pressure felt at the brake pedal after taking mine to Dip @*!#, oops sorry KWICK FIT. I took it back to the main dealer who said they thought air had got into the servo and that a pressure bleeding system should be used. Told KWICK FIT this who eventually resolved it when they bled the brakes with this type of equipment. They had to take it to another branch though as not all have this gear. Hope it helps

BUGGER! it didnt work! The indicators flashed as they should but doors still wont operate from the fob. Back to the circuit diagrams

Been ill today so unable to try the fix, I'll let you know the outcome as soon as I try it. Cheers Dicky

Ooops cant spull either, everyone knows it i before e except after 3 or something like that! Should be THEIR feelings. And I got lots of F's in my GCE's which Im told means FANTASTIC!

My wifes got the car at the moment so will have to try this out tomorrow. But be warned, if it works I'm driving straight down to Chester and Kent to plant the bigest and wetest slobbery kiss on both your lips (no tounge though) . Who said Geordie boys dont show there feelings.

Any tips welcome and thanks in advance. main & spare key fob batteries checked Ok but doors will not operate. They do operate from the internal door switch mounted on driver’s side arm rest. Downloaded a workshop manual from this site some years ago but believe it must be a USA/Other version as pictures show left hand drive. The fuse to check according to the info is F6 (10A) located in junction box ref (J/B) located I believe to the RHS of the drivers foot well. Problem is the fuse box cover info says F6 is for the mirrors? It may be a bit academic I suppose because if the locks operate from the arm rest switch then the fuse must be OK ? (where ever it is). I suppose it could be the BCM module and if so can this be obtained for a reasonable price from somewhere other than the stealers Cheers Dicky

Starting to loose the will to live reading this lot and still none the wiser. MPS seem best but far to expensive . Think Im going for Fredy Stine’s

The MREV2 is only needed if you have the 296 bhp 'rev up' engine and is used in conjunction with the plenum spacer. If you have the 276 bhp engine then all you need is the spacer. Cheers young man, one more down, god knows how many more to achieve full understanding. You'll know when I do though cos I'll be asking for directions to RS Tuning

Been doing a bit more research and hit my next confusion rung on the ladder to full understanding. Here it is - noticed a post about a MREV2 lower plenum mod. Is this mod better that the plenum spacer mod, can it be additional too the spacer mod or is it an either or option, if so which would you recommend.

Cheers Mr Cragus Ive pm'ed Neilp No,you PM`d me Ooops! what a tit I am . Never understood spulling u no. Watch out everyone I,m going to try again

Cheers Mr Cragus Ive pm'ed Neilp

Once again thanks for taking the time to give your advice.

Hello Interested in buying your plenum spacer kit but have just watched the Motordyne video on You Tube and noticed that they also fit what looks like a small valve of some kind in one of the hoses to the side of the plenum. What is for, is it required and do you supply it? Cheers Dicky

As far as I can tell from by research they won’t pass mot emissions so I'm now looking at just doing the pleum spacer, 06 air box and already got the K&N high flow filter. Can anyone advise, if I dont fit the de cats would it still be worthwhile fitting a Y pipe or just leave the existing oem exhaust. Dicky

Thanks a lot guys, Isn’t knowledge a wonderful thing, I now almost understand Abbey’s post, in fact I feel so smart I might open my own garage

Oops missed yours Sam, Im almost an expert already!

Cheers that’s a good start Im now nearly 17% more cleaver than I was 5mins ago.

Hi all Considering spending a bit of dosh improving the performance of my 2004 car prior to having it tuned. Been reading some of the performance posts especially the “Best Tuning Mods†list from Abbey Motorsports. Problem is I don’t know what some of the terms mean so could do with a little help if you have the time. 1 What is a DE car (Abby refer to a DE 276 bhp car) 2 What is a REVUP car (are these cars that have had the Up Rev tuning done) (Abby refer to a REVUP 296bhp air box) 3 What are De cats 4 What are resonated cats 5 What is a Revup lower collector 6 What is an HR motor Cheers in anticipation, Dicky PS There may be a few more later if you can bear it

It’s about 40yrs since I studied electronics and things have moved on a pace since then so I hope this will still be valid. Led’s are a dc devices with +ve and 0v connections, so a step down transformer on its own wouldn’t be sufficient as the lower voltage output from the transformer would still be ac. You would now need to convert it to dc by rectifying it with a bridge rectifier. Something in the order of a 9v ac output from the transformer, when rectified, would give approx 12v dc. Before connecting the led to the dc output you would need to know the forward voltage and current of youre led in order to calculate the correct size of resistor to protect it (by connecting the resistor in series with the +ve connection of the led to limit the current that would flow through it) Hope it helps and is still current

Don’t really know what a short shifter is although it looks like a gear lever. Can someone tell the uninitiated, like me what its for and what the advantages are ?? cos I might want to get one (or even a couple if the car goes faster

Here's a picture that might interest you, but be warned, I wouldnt use the same paint sprayer if I were you

No noise difference on mine either and the original filter was clean also. But I still can’t get over the difference. At first the car just seemed to feel a little bit more responsive but on the last two week ends (don’t use the car every day) I’ve driven to my mates place about 20 mls away, all motorway and have given it a go each time. The mid range power seems to be a lot better in that car just seems to want to keep on pulling. The only time I’ve noticed such a big improvement was when I first fitted the engine earthing kit I made.
