Thank you all for your suggestions. After buying the Emerald comms cable I've now got the laptop and software hooked up to the ECU successfully, but not sure which setting I need to change to alter the RPM at idle. If anyone who has done this, has any screenshots of their settings, I'd love to see them. Also, can someone point me to where I reset the throttle position sensor in the software? I can't see a button or option anywhere which mentions this! thanks

Hi all, Recently my 1998 1.6 K series Supersport has started to idle really poorly - the revs are down at around 500, and whether hot or cold, it will basically conk out if I don't give it some throttle, even when pulling up to traffic lights. In the 2 years I've had it, it has always idled low on startup, and needed some throttle until it warms up. I thought this was normal, but am told it shouldn't need any throttle. I'm aware it could be the ECU, or fuel lines / filter, residue in throttle bodies or timing or air filter blocked... I should mention I'm a bit of a newbie with this, and not very engine savvy! I have an Emerald ECU (serial no. 42148) I also have a DVA supersport kit with TBs, cam timing etc. I've read on other posts that the throttle position sensor can be reset on stardard ECUs by turning ignition on, pushing and releasing throttle 5 times, then ignition off. I've tried looking elsewhere if this will work on my Emerald, but not found anything. Will it? thanks for any help - I need to get her running sweet in time for the Taffia Fish & Chip Run in a few weeks!

Hi Dave, I have a pair of black Willans 4 point harnesses which I recently took off. They are 2005 dated, but still in great condition. PM me and I can send pics etc. cheers Chris

Hi Andrew, I have 2 leather seats which I've just removed from my 1998 S3 imperial seven. Pretty much what you're looking for then! PM me and I can send you pictures etc. cheers Chris

Hi I’m after a pair of rear Proxes R888Rs, 205/60/R13 with GG compound. Good condition / relatively new if anyone has some spare? cheers

Ok thanks, will take a look

Looking for some CF sill guards. Ideally ones from Classic Carbon as I liked the finish but may consider others. Anyone bought some they never fitted? cheers

Hi Gary, looks like you already have this sorted, but I have a good condition one of these that I'm about to remove from my car this weekend. Let me see if I can attach an image... (I remember it being not a simple process on the forum) I could make use of a 3D scanning contact, which seems like a wise idea, as you say given that these badges are no longer available. Chris --- Nope! Can't upload photo direct from phone it seems.

Can you let me know which items are remaining? thanks

I removed my driver seat last weekend. Also a relative mecha-numpty, so it can be done. The seats, as GJT says, are pretty easy to remove with those 6 button head bolts. this will take them off the runners. If you need to remove the runners that is harder. Socket wrench under the car, and the head of an open spanner on the hex bolt top, as nothing else will really hold the bolt which is recessed inside the runner. I thought this bit would be a massive PITA as I thought my bolts had been bent from a few under-car impacts. However the bolts were just knocked a bit sideways from the impacts, and the nuts came out relatively easily despite lots of crap on the threads. Good luck!

That looks like a solid option

Ok I’ll pass thanks

I’d be interested in this - though I guess it depends on how easily a temporary tow bar can be fitted to my Caterham?!

PM’d you

I have a polished frame and stanchions available but I guess the anodised ones are more matte than this?
