unlucky mate, what age/mileage is your car?

maybe its just a 'lemon' or whatever the phrase is.. one of those cars that just eats money, endlessly!

Posting a pic involves sticking the image on the web, and then linking it sorta like you have done there you basically do [img ]http://www.the-address-to-the-pic.jpg[/img ] no spaces in the img tags... job done! you can get an account at Imageshack (dunno the address) or Flickr for pictures - both a...

I looked through the B2 (or was it F2.... ) pages 70 to 80, and it mentioned a lot about it but I never saw the actual pinout like that, oh well. Is the immobiliser the CEL light? (the key one) Nowt extra came on apart from that, but it went off after a second or so, afterwards .... reckon the bulb ...

Also could I add, where is the CEL light?

what am I looking for on the dashboard when this is supposed to be on?

:edit:

I just went to ignition, without jumpering my TEN and GND and I get no 'immobiliser' light on, so I guess this is the CEL ?

Yeah I took those pics myself.. the FAQ had no pictures so I asked the admins and the like to stick those in there, as I really got frustrated not being able to do a simple code-pull on the ECU. (going to do that in a few minutes) hopefully it'll help others out there who dont have labels on theirs ...

I would replace that cracked piping, even though you have sealed it When I got my MX-3 it was in the same state, and didn't run too well at low revs and generally bounced along the road if I was off the throttle in 1st crawling along it was terrible in general, around town.. fixed that and its much ...

Thanks very much, - Can we edit the FAQ and include this picture(s) ? The thread is currently missing all photographic stuff, and a picture says a thousand words, as they say... It'd be a great help to future newbies and all that and seeing as its a Flickr picture, it wont get deleted in 6 months ti...

So, thats what I'm after eh?

90 Degrees anti-clockwise I take it?

I'll label up a picture and it can be used in the FAQ thread, as currently its not much help to a hapless non-car techie person like me who's just tryna not break his / her car!! Hopefully this will reduce the amount of threads like this

I dont know how the handbrake pivots or goes up and down,

but to me it simply sounds like it needs tightening somewhere, so it doesn't move as freely.

So, I look at the FAQ.. the pics have gone missing by the looks of it! :( I find my diagnostic unit which looks like this... http://static.flickr.com/28/52971669_9104120a28.jpg gently opening it, I find a myraid amount of pins! 0h n0es.. http://static.flickr.com/28/52971672_813e6c7d5f.jpg but theres...

Basically, my rear lights are totally standard and have this big ugly orange indicator at the edge, I just 'borrowed' a bit of a picture that was already on this site, to show how I want mine to look: http://static.flickr.com/28/52966103_34759c8ead_o.jpg is it just a simple case of taking it apart, ...

:o I'm such a n000bie when it comes to my car!!! - so I just create a circuit between some pins and the car itself has all the lights and stuff in it?! I was always under the impression you had to plug something into the car :lol: well, if this is the case thats fantastic 8) which bit of the online ...

try a roundabout nice and fast.... good right hander.

come off a sharp left-hander exit or something and gun it

good way of testing it I suppose and fun too

Hi guys stumbled across this thread, and I think I am suffering from some issue like this, basically when I let off the gas pedal I always get popping (burning fuel in the manifold) I still have my cat on the engine, and it runs and idles just fine (although when cold and wet, it doesn't like its id...
