Maintenance, Problems & Troubleshooting / No Speedo
Last post by lukeydoo - Yesterday at 19:09
I have a K20 MR2 Spyder and the speedo is dead at the moment. I have also removed the ABS module on the car and replaced the system with a proportioning valve to modulate braking front to back. The rest of the ABS system is still in place - ABS ECU and all four abs sensors. Checking the ABS codes, I had a few of them, but I resolved one unconnected sensor and reset the ABS ECU and now just have error code 14. Do I need to drive it for the speedo to magically come back to life? Or is something else causing the speedo issue? Any help is welcome!

So what do I set the headlights to?

That would explain why the lights are at different heights.
As to a setting height my MOT tester adjusted them for me. Did you get an MOT pass?
As to heightI know not but if one is high and one is OK then as a starting pointI would lower the high one to be in line with the other.

Quote from: fawtytoo on Yesterday at 15:09The MOT was how I found out. One is a tad too high and higher than the other.

The new suspension is notably higher at the front now which can be seen at the wheel arches.

Very strange to my way of thinking, could there have been lowering springs previously? But even then strange that one side is now higher than the other.
The first time I had my 2  tested by an independent the lights were found to be too low but the tester did adjust them to pass at a nominal charge.

Right, summer wheels on and I made an attempt at a "light smear" of Dirko... the definition of "light" is debatable.

Almost never driving my 2 at night I would not have noticed after changing the shocks, with KYB, and front bushes, but it has since passed the MOT, and why not as I replaced ( more or less) like for like?
