Tony Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Anybody used on of these It plugs into the OBD11 port and seems to have quite a few functions. One of the ones i'm interested with is the gear change position. Reason being is 6 to 5 and then to 4 seems easy to get wrong and i'm not keen on a gear flying through the gearbox. I while ago i did see a unit that connects to the gear linkage that sends a digital signal to a unit on the dash but for the life of me i can't find where i saw it. Loads out there for motorbikes but none apart from the one i found for cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Havent we been through this ? The problem is the MR2 obd is limited on what you can read , so likely a device like that will be of little use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I did but the tablet isn't user friendly but whatever it's the gear position i really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Latest mission was to colour the interior plastic blue. Ok it's not the leather art in a real 360 but it's better than MR2 black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Looking good mate. The part you showed me the other day looked great. That spray gun is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Members did say it was only good for painting fences and i would agree if it didn't have a valve that can be adjusted to change the fan mix meaning it can spray a fine mist.

Tony Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 The overheating problem returned yesterday.... Took about an hour to get home allowing for the car to cool down. Today now i can get at it, it would appear to have a hole in the rad ..... So i have a question, if i get some rad weld can i put that in the expansion bottle because i can't get directly at the rad without removing panels.

Tony Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks...I was a little worried about the stop leak blocking the water channels. I may get some as a stop gap but looking at the rad and given the age I've bought a new one £25 all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I've used radweld before with mixed results. For the cost I think it's wise to replace the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Radweld is a bodge and not great for the rest of the cooling system imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Yeah point taken, i'm not overly keen on red weld in an old cars waterways... I used it in the Vectra and it worked brilliant but the 360 nah i can't risk it. As it stands I've got the game plan on how I'll fit the new rad since it's not a conventional fit so i think I'm ready all i need is the rad.

Tony Posted August 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Rad is finally here. Just as well because i think i've cooked the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Best way to know your car is to take it apart. Mission Radiator Spare wheel well was an utter arse to remove but once done there's plenty of space. New rad in, bled and working fine only issue i have now is the ABS light has come on?

SMARTLY Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Is it all open at the front and you can see the grass, or had you not put something back. Chances are you may have dislodged one of the connectors on the front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Under tray, wheel well and top mouldings are still off.. I have fiddled with the connectors to no avail so I'll plug in the ECU tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 At least there is loads of room at the front to work. Looks like a good job was done. For the ABS I would check where they are plugged into and make sure they're not loose. Did you remove the wheels? If you need a new sensor though they aren't cheap from when I've replaced them.

Tony Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Issue i had and knew i would have was to remove all the spare wheel well and surrounding trim. The lower undertray i already removed at work. The rad had to come out from above but there was no room to do this without removing the entire front clam which i wasn't going to do. So with some cutting, grunting and swearing i got it removed. Other than that it was plain sailing but for now I'm going to leave the area void in case there's any other issues. The ABS thing is odd, yes i was working around the control area but nothing looks out of place and yes i have checked the connections. As for the wheels.... I would have removed them but the scissor jack i need is in the Vectra and that's gone so no i didn't remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 In view of the above i bought this and used it today for the first time Absolutely superb product able to lift 3ton so it made quick time of the car since it's so light.

Tony Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I've decided to change the steering wheel again. The one I'm getting is a F1 MoMo carbon wheel but i have a question. With the current wheel there's no horn due to a wiring issue through the hub and spacer. The new wheel has connections pre-installed via buttons on the wheel but?... Providing the airbag light is out will the car pass an MOT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 So the horn still won't work or will you be able to use these new connections? I always thought no horn was a failure. If it is, can you put a pushbutton switch somewhere else to enable it to function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 This is the wheel Both buttons will be wired to the horn. My issue is obviously it doesn't have an airbag so my question is if i turn off the airbag light will it be an MOT fail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
