Powellys 99 Coupe SE

you can get a set of borbet a's for £300ish if you want vw look, was gonna get some for the 3rd gen lude

borbet a's would look pretty phat i reckon, theres a place that will do you staggered sets for not much more, like 7s and 8's, cant think where though, ill have a search

jay the papaer clip test is to see whats causing the problem by it giving out different codes ie: the light flickers on and off a number of times to replicate which code its down as, just doin the paper clip thing in the loom doesnt turn the light off you have to fix the problem first.

Ive had enough...... Ive joined The AA full cover for me and the misuses car and gunna call them out on Friday to fix the problem. It broke down again today same symptoms driving - died jumped drove died again changed the fuse and blew straight away...

No no no.....

Epic fail



and all he did was hit a small pot hole...

TOA 1-0 Rota

no scrots.

I would rather rock steels than rota's

thats a point actually....how bout some banded steels? g60's perhaps

LOL...... any way ive figured out whats going on with the electrics, after 3 blown fuses and a jump start from a friendly evo driver...I finally got home from work...

theres 3 wires going in to the alternator (which is working i think, it charges battery when not blowing fuses) from the engine loom and they join a cluster of wires going under the inlet manifold i have fiddled around with them and the engine management light went out. Car started fine and drove fine. I think that its a faulty plug or somewhere in the cluster the wires have corroded..... or bad earth...any way fuses keep blowing.

However heres the confusing part the speedo still isnt working ...and when i drive a bit quick the light comes back on, i get out and fiddle with the wires again and it goes off...the will blow a fuse all of a sudden car dies..

I give up its parked up on my drive for the next couple of weeks until my AA cover kicks in then I can claim up to £500 of garage work (£25 excess so £475 worth of work) ...Im sure that it could be a mixture of a few things that could be blowing the fuse...

1) bad ground
2) dodgey wireing or plug
3) Alternator

Mr AA can deal with it...

Ive also done some extensive reading on this but cant find a definitive answer...

Ideas any one??

Plus ROTAS SUCK ANAL ASS HAIR.....

Found the solution -

Manufactures fault ...

FYI, rota's had a history of breaking only after being powder coated, something to do with the chemicals. but still.........not on the coop

I know this is a ROTA free build....

how are they normaly painted then ez? just average paint?

I dont know, i just remember when the rota scare happened this is what turned out to be the culpret

o right

sod it shall i just B16 / B18 it??

is this the family car?

z6 turbo!!!

Those OZ rims are nice!!!

Lol family car

well i dunno with you.

the DX wasnt as family ish as the coupe, the missues moaned that it was too low and it had no seat belts in the back - so this one ticks the boxes..

Cars all booked in to the Auto electricians on Tuesday for diagnostics. Has any on had any experience with Auto Start (Midlands) Ltd in Netherton?
