I have pm'd you my number, I will be home or not far away most of the day

 

I have just dug the loom out and I also still have the tdc plug that was cut off, I forgot I did it, but I even labled the loom plugs before I took it off the engine

[Spiky 37]

ok little update from the weekend

 

quite a few wires been removed from the car now ...lol

 

loom not finished, hence some cable just together, but most are solder and heatshrunk

 

and it's a LOT bette under the dash now

It's crazy how you got it looking like it is! Even if it stil isn't running. That b*****d mechanic told me that the system would require a radio for the car's circuit to be complete, is that a load of bullmuck? It got nicked ages ago during the whole conversion, along with the fuel off some scallys.

 

Oh and matt, thanks a LOT for that loom (Y)

Rossi, I think the simple solution may be a case of the mechanic isn't a mechanic?! He's talking rubbish. Seems he didn't understand in the slightest what needed to be done. The engine management loom and the car loom are entirly seperate, they even come out of different holes! You don't need to touch the car electrics during the conversion.

 

Spiky, Just like to add to what Rossi said, looks like you've done a marvellous job getting rid of those nightmare wires, I know its usually quite simple to remove the old engine management but not in that case, it was butchered!

a radio??? unsure what ya mean..lol

 

i hoping it just needs petrol and will start..lol

 

yeah, your under dash looks much better now and once i tidy'd up the cables under the bonnet it will look complete, bar some TLC

tottally agree on the fast part dude

 

even i'm not a mechanic, but he must have been blind

 

and thanks for the second part

No probs, glad I could help

WELL FOOKING HELL

 

decieded to have a night on the car and get it running at all costs

 

so

 

put my ecu on, NOTHING

put my internia switch NOTHING

fuel have it's own battery..lol NOTHING and still sounds weird

my double realy NOTHING

 

took spark plug out to check spark..HAS SPARK

 

so final thing was to check fuel in the rail

 

SO.

 

took the return off, was resting the return on the bonnet stay (as no fuel will come out of here)

 

then put a pipe ont he return of the fuel rail

 

 

and what do YOU think happened ?????

[welshpug 1,622]

fuel came out of the return? if it does and it starts then there's probably a squashed pipe underneath the car?

[Spiky 37]

it dont start thats the thing

 

it DID come out the pipe that i took off the return and not the rail, so somewhere the pipes must be swapped

but, amazingly thats a good guess,

 

so went under neath to put exhaust back on and look where it much be swapped

 

and here's what i found

 

so the rear brakes are FOOKED, well at least the drivers rear is

 

the fuel pipe is kinked, and somewhere it's be swapped over(unless the pump is send fuel up the reserve?)

 

 

 

[Peetypug 5]

somebody needs to go round and see this so called "mechanic"

[Spiky 37]

Rossi, you must be the most unluckyiest person i know,

 

if it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all

 

so this must have happened when they took it off the trailer, as the mrs confirmed they rolled i off front wards, which is why the exhaust was ripped off, taking this lot with it

[gti-si 0]

Christ, that is some serious bad luck right there. You going to be able to sort it? I'd just cut that section an join it with some fuel hose and see if it starts with a good fuel feed? Or with it coming out of the return does that mean it should be able to inject?

[Spiky 37]

i did just that, as i had a small length of fuel pipe, i just come in now.

 

it's RUNNING, first turn of the key

[Matt Holley 11]

Well done spiky

[Peetypug 5]

[Peetypug 5]
