The mode change is sent as a software command via the data wire, Erik could probably explain how.

The V8 ABS ECM is accessed via the 16-pin OBD-II port, not the 10-pin. The 10-pin ALDL is used for the SIR (airbag) for sure, and I believe the alarm. The ECM mode switching wire on the 4-cylinder ABS ECM isn't needed for any diagnostics.

Though I am not familiar with the SJ setup, that is how the original Sport 300 (and my KVR knockoff kit) are mounted.

The elephant trunk has been known to delaminate and collapse internally, might be worth a look.

It may be that the low level and/or parking brake switches are normally closed, in which case disconnecting them would emulate the fault condition. It wouldn't hurt to try shorting each in turn.

Could it have been a maladjusted parking brake switch?

From the ABS manual: This tell tale will glow red with the ignition switched on, under any of the following conditions: i) When the parking brake Is applied; ii) If the brake fluid level is low; iii) If accumulator pressure is below 12,400 kPa (1,800 psi). If the brake pedal has been pressed several times with the ignition off, stored hydraulic pressure may fall sufficiently to activate the tell tale. The electric pump will start up when the ignition is switched on to restore pressure, and the lamp should go out within 40 seconds. As a bulb check function, this lamp should light when the ignition is first turned on, and go out when the engine is cranked. Under normal circumstances, with the engine idling, the tell tale should light when the parking brake is applied, and go out when released. If the lamp fails to go out when the parking brake is released, or comes on whilst driving, stop immediately as the brake fluid level or accumulator pressure may be dangerously low. Only non power assisted non-ABS braking on the front wheels may remain.

Follow the small plastic hardline going to the MAP sensor and measure it there, you will be amazed how much that small diameter tube dampens the fluttering.

I'm pretty sure Zig did it, give him a shout.

You could buy my nearly new dash set -- http://home.earthlink.net/~turboesprit2/bitsforsale.html

If you have a serial port on your laptop I can supply a cable, see my website for more detail, or PM me. http://home.earthlink.net/~turboesprit/ http://home.earthlink.net/~turboesprit2/bitsforsale.html

Hi Guy, What are the ID and OD of the nipple end? I wonder if you couldn't turn down one end of a male-to-male adapter...

I've got one from a car with fewer than 7200 miles use that i would like to sell, PM me if interested. I am in the USA.

Dave, The pulleys are almost certainly all made form the same casting. The location of the woodruff key slot is the only difference between the pulleys, but there is a very small visual difference. The dot itself is not a datum point, but the tooth it is adjacent to is.

Hi Gonzalo, What type of boost controller were you using, and what was the nature/cause of the failure? Rebuild is looking good!

The intermittent wipe/wash module is mounted on the relay bracket in the front luggage compartment.

There is a wiper delay module which is controlled by the wiper switch. This could be the source of your problems. Wiper/Washer Switch & Intermittent Wipe/Wash Module The windscreen wiper/washer operation is controlled by the steering column RH lever switch, which functions electrically as follows: OFF: RLG - ON cables connected (terminals 53 - 53e) SLOW: G - RLG cables connected (terminals 53a - 53) FAST: G - ULG cables connected (terminals 53a - 53b) INTERMITTENT: G - OP cables connected (terminals 53a - 3) The intermittent wipe/wash module is mounted on the relay bracket in the front luggage compartment, and controls the 6 cables as follows: Orange/Purple Pin 1 (I) 12 volt supply to module from wiper switch when intermittent wipe is selected. Orange/Brown Pin 2 (53E) 12 volt output to wiper motor via 'slow speed' contacts in wiper switch when intermittent wipe is selected. One pulse approx. every 5 seconds. Black Pin 4 (31) Ground. Brown/Lt.Green Pin 5 (31B) 12 volt input to module from motor limit switch for continued motor operation after switch off until limit (park) switch grounds. Lt.Green/Black Pin 6 (53C) 12 volt input to module from washer switch to initiate 4 wiper sweeps. Green Pin 8 (15) 12 volt ignition feed from fuse 20.

This problem is usually caused by the curved arm rubbing on the slot in the bodywork. It's very easy to bend, and very easy to bend back.

Thanks anyway, cheers.

Hi Peter, Would you by any chance have the power steering hose that goes from the engine-driven pump down to the frame? It has a metal u-shaped bit with a straight rubber hose. Cheers, Sanj

I relocated my rearview mirror to the winsdshield, like every modern car. In fact, I used the mirror from the Exige/Evora. I looked into an electric dimming mirror, but have not been able to find one small enough. A standard-sized mirror will almost completely block the view out the front windshield.

130 psi minimum, assuming yours is a non-HC 910 engine. Make sure you have the throttle wide open when you measure, as well as being fully warmed up. Edit: Whoops, I didn't see the second page of replies. Redundant, this!

I have the fuel doors, which one do you need? Send me a PM.

I dropped it at the post office yesterday afternoon. Happy honking!
