Changed the BCM and window work for a few goes before blowing the fuse again!

Given up with the original wiring and ran new wires from the window motor, 12v power and earth to centre console and fitted a universal windows switch.

Now I have 2 working windows  8)

Quote from: jvanzyl on Today at 09:50Yes it will be interesting. It may require moving down to 440 more modern injectors and remapping. Will have to see!  🤞

It shouldnt need different injectors as long as they are in good health and ecu/mapping etc is good :)  oh and your CAT is a good one as well ?  i cant remember what you have in that regard ?

I agree with the previous comment you need to separate the pipes for easy fitment and make sure you don't cross the threads.
I changed the fluid out acouple of years ago so the system was already flushed.
I have a complete ltre of ravenol left over if anyone needs some.

 Will be interesting to see how you get on with emissions for the MOT or did RRR set it up and check it would pass ok ?   its one of those areas in mapping that can take some time and i know a lot of mappers dont do much with it, although the closed loop control if turned on should get it pretty close.

Thanks Alex, that was what I couldnt remember!

Leaky injector is a possibility. You could pull the spark plugs and see if there's one a different colour to the rest?

Stretched cam chain is unlikely, but possible, especially if someone had tried to cure a leak at the chain tensioner by loosening just enough to get sealant in and bolting it back. That will cause a tight chain. However I' don't think it would make the engine run noticeably rich.

Looking good  8)  glad everything went well!

Quote from: Danny Scarbro on June  2, 2024, 11:10One area for improvement is the shifter, 3/4/5/6 are good but 1/2 are horrific to get into, naturally was only using 2nd on the hairpin however quite often missing 2nd and ending in 4th and bogging. Just feels so far to the left away from the other gears so need to find a solution to this.

I found the same so made a little "stopper" for the 2nd gear gate, so you just ram the shifter all the way over to the stop with no risk of hitting reverse. It was on a sort of over centre catch, and you just flipped it out the way if you needed reverse.

@Maurici has the car now but might be able to get a pic if you need...
