leighton88 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey dude nice little mods ...what did you wire your volt meter to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 streight from the battery mate, i thought it was best to get the best reading, so i wired it in parallel with a switch so i can turn it off an on, i used to play with electronics so i had the wire/inline fuse holder/switch and plastic surround i made myself, i just needed the meter itself, and £3.89 on ebay sorted that Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieranbolton Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Right people ordered the Central locking system, which looked a little daunting to say the least when i opened it up however a few instruction books later, all was clear and i got cracked on So here's the pics so far, i did more, but by the time i got pics, it was dark, so ill take some more tomorrow Messy Wireage Holes maked up, but used diffrent holes in the end Thats all for now, ive found :Sound proofing in the attic (a massive roll)Ive also ordered some chrome indicator bulbs to de-tango my front Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarynn Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is it hard to install the central locking kit.. can you then add remote central locking?Where did you get the side lights from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigimo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 same question about central locking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 hey guys sorry i have'nt replied sooner...The central locking kit i bought is remote, there is alot of wires involved, to be honest, if you are going to get central locking, just get remote, its not that much more expensave, and its remote.The worst bit about the central locking is getting the motors and rods lined up perfect so it opens and locks, the lupo's are weird, they (or mine didnt) go up and down, more left/right, so it was abit of a pain sidelights were cheeper than first thought, i got mine here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Bright-Xenon-White-Sidelight-LED-Bulbs-Replacement-Capless-W5W-501-147-12v-/130610484498?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ALupo&hash=item1e68fdd512Ill take more pics today, im just off out now to fit the rest of the central locking Also De-gingered my indicators :and after :Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Nice, kinda making me want to do mine, where'd you get the bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old skool Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 iv fitted two cental locking kits now, best way id to have the motor sat below the door catch and and then feed the rod up between the door pull wire and the mechanisum and it should go up ans down fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just a quick one people, ive mounted the box under my heater controls, the problem ive got is wiring in the hazard lights, would it be possible to wire the 2 brown wires straight to the hazard switch (as a piggy back) or does it have to go to the indicator stalk?kieranP.s pics come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 not really an update on the car but im now green The dash parts are also in primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarynn Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Can you post a link to where you bought your central locking kit from please (also is it central locking with remote feature? a lot of adds say remove central locking but you must have standard central locking.. sorry to be confusing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecvincent123 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 https://www.rclick.co.uk/I bought one of these the other day, had it fitted within a couple of hours. The hardest bit is having to get all the plastics out the way so you can put it in, except for that its a piece of cake (I have a lot of experience with car looms though) Its probably easier if you don't have central locking as standard because then all you have to do it connect a 12v and earth feed and your done.
