braided lines missing pin to stop it wobbling(passed 2 years in row without issue, maybe got lucky thosie times) Brake hoses should be secured both ends. clocks don't have kph as well as mph Not part of MOT test. fog light mod not passing due it not being 100mm away from brake light. Not part of MO...

bloody car failed mot... some things are fair enough, abs light,brake binding, but others im peed off about. braided lines missing pin to stop it wobbling(passed 2 years in row without issue, maybe got lucky thosie times) things it has always passed on before last 6 years, clocks don't have kph as w...

cheer for info , will try it.

yeah steph's delimiter still does power on self test, and it's off aswell, 40( shows45) 80(shows 85) 0

i'll play with that cheers.

ok, so i found the issue out, thought i'd share, decided to strip back the loom and found 6 soldered connections of which 4 had cracked and spilt. No idea what happened there or what the previous owner did, but had the two for 6 years now and only finding this out now. So yes, i could have saved my ...

Use electrical contact grease on the loom clip that attaches to the speedo sensor / drive. Totally fixed my problem that sounded exactly like yours. thanks i'll give that a go when the cluster arrives... I put my PS3 mainboard in the oven for 15 minutes after it had a yellow light of death or whate...

Thanks for that link,but sourced some already.

The reflow temp of solder is around 200degC, for plastic its a lot lower. When PCB's are flow soldered in factories they are generally done with no plastics on the board. The speedo converter interrupts the speed signal going to the speedo and reduces its frequency to 5/8's of its original. So assu...

i tried the oven thing as its work for me before with gfx cards for pc's. stripping gfx card down to board, then reheating the circuit board reconnects the solder and gets it going again...but not this time. not sure what you mean speed signal wire? the one on the gearbox? or the purple white cable ...

who's got a 180 mph working cluster for sale? lol um..left it in the oven too long some of the smaller plastics melted, but the bigger plastics are fine, tried it anyway still no speedo... http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h121/pope_acute/20150125_164442.jpg if salvador dali did speedos.... http://i...

help kinda going round in circles here. summary: 1: speedo no working, stef's delimiter fitted making needle jump all over and clocking miles while sitting still 2: removed delimiter, no speedo movement at all. 3: replaced with second hand working gearbox speedo sensor, old speedo sensor all white g...

Ok, i have done some research but not finding an answer. My speedo slowly started acting up and then not working at all. I have a converter/delimiter on the back of the clocks, it still does the power on self test which seems to work, but then the needle starts bouncing all over the place whilst not...

ok slight exaggeration, more like 2 cm's,

i was using that special measurement of inches that men use to measure the length of their xxxxx, no?...

Just use the rev 2 crank in the Rev 4 block, they should be the same and if it is good no regrinding will be needed. just texted mech and asked exactly that he said: "..the bearing cap is trashed where the thrust washer seats and the line board to the block" :( how i managed that i don't ...

pm sent

Peter thanks for advice appreciate it. i have just got off the phone with my mech and it turns out i got it wrong from reading his text. He said he meant it "looked" all good apart from the oil pipe feed. but he has just taken another look at it there properly he said (it's side line job f...

Wouldn't want him rebuilding mine

he is handy and has rebuilt engines before, but you are right he doesn't know these engines well at all...

ashley wrote:I suspect we need to replace "camshaft" with "crankshaft" in the posts above

yup, typo...

But i never knew that each camshaft is specific for each block. And if i were to use it you need oversized bearings, which is not ideal. Camshafts are not block specific, they are revision specific. You can't get oversize crankshaft bearings. The cams run in journals machined into the head and caps...

cheers for replies(get rid of wife not a bad idea lol), it wasn't an accidental buy, my intention was just to take the crankshaft from it and put it back into my rev4 block. But i never knew that each camshaft is specific for each block. And if i were to use it you need oversized bearings, which is ...

ok, so crankshaft and centre bearings were wrecked on 96 rev4 turbo. bought donor engine, n/a (it was at this point i never realised my mistake) mech stripped it down, gonna just use block and port everything over, he gave me shopping list, full gasket set, engine block bolts, thrust bearing kit, et...
