We be rolling...the weather be hatin!

by jimxms, 30-12-2018, 04:33 PM

Just had Arch Enemy down to roll my arches in preparation for my new wheels. Gotta give credit to the guy, it was absolutely HACKING it down with rain and he had to put up a marquee. In the middle of the rolling his halogen packed up, so he had to use my Mrs desk side lamp! My neighbours kept coming and going forcing him to move his stuff around. But he didn't grumble!

More importantly though, the roll went perfectly with no surprises. Gained just over 20mm iirc. The only thing that shocked me was when he took off my wheels and noticed that they were ET43 when I always thought that they were ET30!

Recalculating everything, it looks like it might be a squeeze fitting the 9J/ET37's in the back, but hopefully still possible.

Harsh or fair?

I've only ever had a brief drive in an MX-5 once but I thought it was quite a decent little car to drive, it's not my thing and I doubt I'd buy one but this seems a little harsh (and the comments seem to agree).........

Council tax - how far back?

by parthiban, 30-12-2018, 08:02 AM

Does anyone know if there is a time limit for claiming council tax?

Just received a bill for erroneous charges dating from 2005-2008 for a property that was sold in 2008. There have been no previous bills (as these charges should not exist) - I know I can fight this and win but just want to make sure whether I even need to bother if it's too late for them to be asking for money.

Alarm ECU on IS200/300

by jimxms, 30-12-2018, 06:27 AM

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have a close-up picture of the alarm ECU including its location within the car?

I've been given a schematic on how to hook up a shock/tilt sensor to the factory alarm, but I need a better idea of what I'm actually looking for so I can work out how to tackle the job.

I know the trigger wire needs to be spliced into pin4 on the alarm ecu as this is the bonnet courtesy switch but I also need a constant 12v source from nearby and also a cable that can act as 'ground when armed'.

Help appreciated as always

Renault Megane playing up?

by DaveEdin, 29-12-2018, 11:16 AM

My ex-wife drive through a large puddle (ok, huge - for those of you who know the Wisp area in Edinburgh you'll know about the small river that opens up across the road just after the bend toward Newcraighall...) and her car's now playing silly games...

Lots of lights flashing, engine being weird (she had to stall it on the driveway to get it to actually switch off) and even after the engine was off and keycard removed etc the wipers were still going.

All I could think of to suggest was pulling the battery connections to make the darn wipers stop running!

Obviously this is likely to be water ingress somewhere (fuse boxes maybe) - anyone have any suggestions where should be checked? And if it gets dried out can a large repair bill be avoided?

Cheers in advance for any help

Can someone talk me out of these?

by parthiban, 29-12-2018, 08:37 AM

I know they're probably not to everyone's taste but I really like them - however there's nothing wrong with the wheels I've got so it would just be a waste of money :tongue_smilie:
