colincagain Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If anyone has one of these available (must be this part number for EU2 version) , please let me know. Any advice on the specific make and model cars that used this MFU also much appreciated in case I can get one from a breaker. ThanksColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankee Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I have one but it is currently in use until a planned rewire this winter. In the mean time, they are available from Minispares (http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/YWB10022.aspx) or there are a few new ones available on eBay for ~£100, slightly cheaper than the Caterham Parts price.

colincagain Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi JohnThanks for the reply. Is that the Redline in Cheddar? I am struggling to find a phone number for them and the part does not appear to be on line. Be grateful if you have any contact details.ThanksColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincagain Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks. That is a better deal than I have found so far. Just need to confirm that it really is the MFU that is causing the problem now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Redline Components are in Caterham. They are great guys:http://www.redlinecomponents.co.uk/What's the car doing, or not doing, to lead you to a suspect MFRU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincagain Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Glad I asked - I was looking at the wrong Redine! It has been running great. A few days ago it turned over fine but just refused to start. Spark fine but plugs dry and no fuel getting delivered. Pump not making any noise when ignition turned on. Checked immobiliser and no problem. Checked fuel pump fuse was OK. Then discovered no voltage detectable at fuse box. So suspect an issue upstream that is preventing juice getting to fuel pump fuse. Fuel pump relay seems possible candidate, which is in the MFU?? So plan is to check all connections around that area and replace MFU if necessary. Any better ideas appreciated. Any method [that a simpleton could execute!] of checking diagnosis short of replacing the whole unit?cheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnv Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have a spare you can use to prove or disprove .. bm me your address and I'll send it to you if it helps (it probably isn't the mrfu mine has been used a few times for elimination purposes!)

A7 OOH Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi ColinI have a spare should you need one, bought it from Mankee last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyldeflier Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi Colin.when mine failed the symptoms were very similar to what you describe.It is possible to open up the Mfru and then you can see each relay.It is possible that the relay in question has become pitted with use and age.If so clean the contacts up with some fine wet or dry or similar and see if that does the trick.Have you checked the fuel cut off is not tripped?If you have further problems or questions it might be a good idea to post on the tech talk page as I am sure you will get more response and help there John.

colincagain Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Gents - Thank you all for your kind offers. I hope to get some time to do a bit more diagnosis today or tomorrow and if I dont' find anything obvious, may well be in touch.Thanks very muchColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
