****************** Powelly - 1 EJ6 - 0 *****************************

it was the wire's going into the second o2 sensor rubbing on the heat shield...but my speedo's still stuck on 20mph...damn...but on a lighter note the engine lights gone out ....

maybe its the vss (vehicel speed sensor) on the gearbox.
i remember someone had to change theres a while back for a similar problem

i think it might be the vss, but gunna see if any 1s got some clocks i could borrow to test it..

ye defo the easiest option to elimate first.
any ek clocks will fit. i had ek9 clocks in my 1.4 ek before i fitted them into the sir before, so i know they willl interchange

sound just need to find someone who's got a spare set ..

you could of saved yourself some cash, if you had done the paper clip trick it would of pointed to your o2 senser and revealed the problem with the car....

TBH cus I didnt take it to the auto mechanic in the end, I did the paper clip test and it just stayed on B4, just did a lot of reading.

Thankfully some one on CL suggested jacking it up and checking the O2 sensor at the back of the cat so i did and the wires were worn away so just lecy taped them up, reset the ECU ...sorted, however the car still feels a bit fragile to drive and tbh im scared of it cutting out like it did however just had a good run in it and it felt ok all the electrics are now working fine except the speedo, could be the VSS or the clocks...

why dont you just go to the scrap yard and get some clocks and a sensor for cheap?? im sure saj will sort you out...

Yeah ill trip down there b4 weekend..Saj in bordsley??

i dunno what area all iknow is its birmz haha there's a few others aswell around his.

Oh yeah down Rayleigh street by blues ground..

I ran my coupe without the 2nd o2 sensor plugged in for months and had none of the problems you did..

So i recon your problem might be back soon..

Aky It was the wires going in to the sensor arching off the heat shield causing the fuse to blow, some of the plastic around the wires had stripped away. It will need replacing soon but I think this is a temp fix for now. I hope it dont come back ive been without a car for the last few weeks and im beginning to hate buses so much, I drove in to work today not a problem.

Im looking to B18c4 it when I get my bonus end of July, it should be ready for JAE.

Wierd thing my speedo started working again today???

have you took it out and made sure everythins connected?

yeah had a fiddle with it last night but was not working until i drove home from work....totally weird...

i wnt to some scrap yards today to see if there was any around but there wasnt i'll keep my eye out for you tho

Sound ill keep you posted if it mucks up again..

Any ways, quick couple of updates

I debaged the boot



And ive got this to fit over the weekend

need to lose the spoiler, look so much better

^^ I was thinking that.... ;-)

I agree

looking good so far tho
