I want to replace my rev counter but the new one does not support coil-on-plug. Is there a way of connecting it to the ECU instead? Cheers

I happened to stumble over a mini serie called"Patrick Dempsey: Racing Le Mans" the other week. It was actually pretty good, definitely worth watching on a cold and dark winter's night. Not sure i like the guy much but he did compliment on my moustache when I met him in Sebring

If you are in London, try "london chroming" on old kent road for a truly Dickensian experience but they are pretty slow. "Fox plating" in sydenham comes highly recommended but haven't tried them myself.

Thanks. Will it work if I have LED at the front and standard bulbs at the back?

I have replaced my indicators with LED versions and now need to fit eitherL ED resistors or replace the flasher unit. Is it possible to replace the flasher unit on a seven? Where are they located? Is there one of two of them? The car is a 2009 Duratec.

Doh! Why didn't I think of that. Thanks!

I got a indicator repeater that only come with one wire. The ground is supposed to go through the mounting bolt but that won't work on my GRP wing. Does anyone smarter than me have a good idea on how I can attach a wire to the mounting bolt or the washer or something like that? I don't have access to a welder.

Martyn, Just saw this old post and similar questions. Just hooked OBD wifi dongle to my Duratec 175 (bog standard CC a la 2009) and fired up some open source data logger. I can see the battery voltage of the car but the dongle says it cannot connect to the ECU. Time for an emerald?

problem solved. It turns out the the intermittant wiper is only working when the main is off, not the other way around.

I have an intriguing problem that someone might be clever enough to figure out. I am clearly not. it might take a you a few minutes to analyse it so make yourself a cup of tea before reading the rest and the attached PDF. The story is that I want to install an intermittent windscreen wiper in my seven so I built a relay box to do it. I have unit tested the module and it pulls the two relays as expected but when i connect it to the wiper motor it doesn't affect the functionality at all, it just keep working as before. At first I thought I must have hooked it up the wrong way but i have double and triple checked. Now to the instruction PDF: Figure 1 is a wiring diagram before installation and figure 2 is after. Looking at the Figure 2 in the PDF I cannot actually see how it could possibly work at all if installed like instructed. Is it just me or is the wiring diagram in Figure 2 wrong? Can anyone shed any light over this?

i don't know what that are called but I am trying to find a couple of those u-shaped bar that protects your toggle switches from accidentally being thrown. Think spaceships, military, submarines etc. any ideas? It's not for my seven...

i've got NGK TR6AP13 fitted when I got the car from Caterham

I have the same setup and i noticed three thing when i got rid of the cat: the noise is different but not much louder, it seems to rev easier at high revs and most importantly - it shoots flames on the overrun when hot!

what's the best way of getting access from the footwell?

how many fingers do i need to amputate to be able to get the gearbox oil plug back in place?
