Get a length of wire put a 12v bulb in the middle connect one end to alt and the other end to +12 on battery. Start car if light goes out - wiring prob if it don't then it's a alt problem

Yep also went out for a blat around Epping forest - gave a few bikes a run for there money

Hi selling my 2.0 Zetec ford EEc with complete engine wiring loom this will enable anyone to run a zetec on full ford engine management i picked up the bits a few weeks ago just to see if i could do it (bored) -and its surprising easy!!! this will run the sparks and injection inc fuel pump and tacho drive etc as if it was in a focus and mondao as ford intended i also have a sheet i made up showing which wires (Colours) do what you will need a couple of other bits -airflow meter etc to complete the install looking around £150 posted please ask if you have any questions blue

All oil filters of the day will fit as the thred is the same so look at filters for crossflows etc The EFL 298 for the 2wd cossie lump is quite short

on most BMs if you remove the drivers front wheel and arch liner you can put your hand on the bonnet cables and give um a tug to open the bonnet

Also donated - thoughts are with you and family. My dad had same thing.

I also run all my earths into batches eg front of car say lights and indicators to one point then use a stainless set screw and nut with a cable large enough to handle the power back straight to the battery.

Now thats a memory. Started with tamiya rc. Went to nitro then on to FG petrols

It always helps if you can put pics up showing the top of the carb so we can see what you have. You'll ALWAYS get all the help you need on this site.

Ahhh thank you. Just one more to go.

Hi everyone I'm trying to wire my black top on the ford original ecu ( cos I'm bored !) Now on the injections there is a small loom that does the 4 injections now the loom is tagged BE And I have 2 plugs I can't figure out. I have the four injectors the throttle the water temp and cam sensor But there's 2 plugs one has 2 wires and the other has 1. These two connections are taped together if some one can help on any of this I would be truly grateful. Indeed if someone has a early mondao and can tell me what plugs and wire colours are on the plugs on the engine sensors even better TA

Other option if you don't fancy fitting an electric pump is try fitting a fuel one way valve in fuel line between pump and carb

i keep the doors on to stop the wind and bought a length of the large gray pipe lagging at B and Q and roll the roof around it and bungie it on spare wheel you can see how it looks on issue before last of boys in hoods (yippie BEV made front cover)

Burton power stocks them and the fitting kits. - next day mail order

Hi all thanks for the replys. I'm now looking for practical performance magazine - November 2013 issue ?? Or someone to let me have copy's of the zetec article !

Hi can anyone remember which kitcar mag run a article on how to wire standard ecu on a kit car ?? Or even which mag it was. ?

Hi. I'm running the GBS plemum and asking how many of you run with the fuel reg connected on this plemum I know most of you run emerald and I run webber alpha but my reg is connected and after connecting a vac gauge the vac in the intake is nearly off the scale at idle and at the idle mark on the gauge while cruising - the pressure in the rail must be at least 20psi lower then designed by ford to keep the spray pattern clean. I know we can map to get a good AFR etc but was purely wondering about what others are doing

Just had a quick look. It's a very good web site It certainly stands out. Very good job.

Yep late present - £620 plus the dreaded ! Long first gear and close ratio on 1,2,3,4 standard 5th heavy duty bearings etc. I did look at having mine rebuilt but it was coming out at more after I got the long first gear fitted then I could buy this for ?? now just got to fit it.

I spoke to stent at brands hatch and it is 100% on but as usual donnington have messed them about with dates but it is 100% on

Hi my one ive put through the panel - you can buy thermo sleves that the cable runs through but i doubt you would be able to attach it to the manifold for neatness without it affecting the sensor readings even if purley to the extremly radiant heat

Just treated myself to a close ratio heavy duty type 9 got one of the last ones from rally design :crazy:

Hi all I know this has been covered loads of times but I cant find a simple answer Looking at back of engine at stat housing am I right in saying Large hose on left - top rad Small hose on left heater feed Very small hose on top - expansion tank Small hose on right - bypass to bottom hose and heater return

Ha ha every time I go out in my S7 I hear something bounce around the bottom of the car and wonder is it a stone or has something now fell off. - it's all part of running a kit car. It's why lotus got such a bad rep. The people that bought them thought that they were as good as production cars so never checked them and wondered why bits fell off!!!

Can I ask has your astra got air con. If so check the last fuse on the right hand side of fuse box where your right knee is when sitting in the car. If this is blown you get a low coolant warning light even though most bottles never had the sensor fitted. Pls let me know your findings
