Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

I tried but IMs were down and any post attempt errored. I thought about raising it through Facebook but never got around to it :lol: Nice work for raising it and to whoever fixed it :) I tried the same as you with no success either, then noticed that since the forum software update (at least a deca...

Re: Battery terminal connectors - Mk2 Rev 3 GT-S

Try here https://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk ... amps-clips it's usually decent quality parts from here 8)
Check they are the correct size (jap spec terminals are often smaller) for your battery, they sell conversion collars if needed.

Pump on mine turns off if the wheel is not touched for a short period of time. Every SW20 I've had with PS has done this.


Thanks for confirming, I thought I'd heard that before but couldn't find anything about it in the BGB's 8)

No problem, hopefully your threads being live and updated will be encouragment to others and perhaps attract people back to the forum 8) Just for info, the best source of info on 1.5/1.6 conversions is the originator of the concept Paul Woods, the best forum was TwoBrutal, which unfortunately is no ...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Good result. 8) well done the sparky for figuring it out. That kind of thing is a fairly common problem with conversions with wiring from 2 cars joined together, unless the person doing the wiring is pretty competant (electrically) then the result tends to be a bit of a bodge. with no diagrams left ...

Re: [MK2] [N/A] Power Steering Motor Not Stopping

This has also come with another odd bug. Per other info I've read on the P/S system, the pump should autmotically switch off if the wheel isn't moved for a while (and the car is under about 10mph) mine currently runs constantly. I've got not warning lights and I've followed the diagnostic in the BG...

This is the junction box (J/B No 3 I was referring to https://a4.pbase.com/g3/01/187001/2/122142500.7FWnNWQv.jpg All the headlight wiring passes through this box, some people have had problems with burnt connections, slack plugs at this box, even seen pics of it melted.

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Sounds very much like you have done something. If you use the diagrams and work from the fuses onwards you should find the problem :wink: IIRC there's also a fault that happens in a junction box behind the dash which affects an earth return path I Can't remember what circuits it affects and may be a...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

1987 may or may not have dim/dip, black relay usually means dim/dip. If the extra wire with a bullet connector is Green/Black then it's to do with the indicator/Haz lights, possibly something to do with a aftermarket alarm system (flash indicators on arming?). The headlight relay puts power to both ...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

So they don't pop up or light up ? What year is it ? the retract control relays have different versions (mostly due to dim/dip. Your relay will either be gray(1a) or black (1b) a crossover car could be either, can't remember if they are interchangeable I have a vague feeling they aren't. Not sure if...
