Yes no heater in it, reduces risk of boiling fluid in the cabin also

I don't think ill be able to get the price down, this is the same price as all their other heated screen unfortunately Nope, probably best going oem or elsewhere for that im afraid

Hi All, Ive spoken to Ricky evans motorsport about getting a heated windscreen for my rally car. He can do it but needs a minimum order of 5. they would be 225 +vat Is there any interest? Cheers

How did the new pads deal with the ring?

Good plan, do you get any rubbing with the 195/50/15's ?

Agreed on the Toyo's, any awful tyre, maybe try and swap out while your out there

Odd as it does work on my phone or my MacBook unless it’s something to do with my account

Thanks for uploading, however wont let me open it, says attachment not available

cheers, thats what ive tried and it still cuts it might need to work round it

Hi all, On my rally car im hoping to enable left foot braking/braking while still able to use the accelerator, however unlike my other cars (older cars) the lupo cuts the power. id heard the modern VW's with flyby wire (mainly mk4 golfs) this can be overcome by permanently connecting 2 wires on the switch, such the brake lights still work but the ecu doesnt get told the brakes are on and kill the power. however. i have tired this, brake lights still work however it has proved unsuccessful, does anyone have any ideas on how to over come this? Cheers Nathan

ill pull out

Update- Spoken to my parts guy at VW and my VIN says no aircon but also says that it shouldn't have the fan controlled, I guess its just a cock up at the factory fitting it

the fan now works with the new thermoswitch, there is no connectors near this modules, the module is in my front room now and the fan comes on so god knows. if I have any more problems ill dig a little deeper

that's the puppy, It looked like it was in an OEM mounting and everything. Lights, horns etc all oem nothing looked messed with. Really weird as the terminals were sooo corroded it looked like there had never been anything in them. I thought maybe it used to have AC but there are no signs of any tampering. very odd

No connectors anywhere to be seen

I think the resistor in the fan is blown as i can only get high speed Anyone able to shed light on why the fan relay box thing, under the passenger wing, is present on my car (no AC) but not connected?

When you say fan controller what do you mean? as far as im aware the fan is just controlled by the thermoswitch ? im going to wire up a switch to run in the cabin just incase it fails again i can flick it on. i have thought about an oil cooler but am yet to have a problem with the factory cooling system so will see, they do make a massive difference on my 350z which love to cook its oil.

Just an update on this is anyone else has the same problem. Seems there was 2 issues: the fan only works at its high speed, assuming the resistor is goosed. The switch isn't telling it to go onto its highspeed, the low speed might be working on the switch but there is no lowspeed on the fan to operate. If anyone needs to replace a fan switch I recommend buying a 29mm DEEP socket, makes the job so much easier and quicker

Nightmare, are you thinking headgasket gone?

The actual cylinder or the spark plug hole?

Nice update, What was the issue with full power on full clock? did it mess up the CV's In terms of the smoke out of your breather, I noticed when I had mine running again after the 3 months of sitting there was smoke out of my catch can, I put this down to condensation burning off as it hadn't been used in so long, mines quite a low mileage standard engine to.

Scared the s**t out of me, my biggest fear is that the cage doesn’t pass scruitineering

Cheers for the comments, id looked into this and was going to install the above mentioned bars, but the MSA changes there rules for cars pre 2005. https://www.motorsportuk.org/Older-stage-rally-cars-exempted-from-roll-cage-rule-changes

Will be interesting to see! Was is straightforward enough to fit? I best check out your thread!

The plan at the moment is to just get it rally legal and keep it reliable (famous last words), hopefully drop a quaiffe into it as some point. its a great little car for the island, and yes the oldies can be an issues, especially when they are dropping speed limits like nobodys business. Yes i am indeed Bergerac haha
