As the Forum knows I replaced the ECU the ALARM BOX and the Relay box on my "F" Before trying it out,I found another fault with the wiring once this was rectified ,the car started firs turn Now it nay be ,that the ECU wasnt the real problem but Im not going to switch it back .So if anyone want my original ECU ALARM BOX and RELAY UNIT they are welcome to it for just the cost of posting it say £5 Its for a 1999 MG F Len
Morning when I was looking for a replacement ECU I looked for ages,to find one which matched the wiring on mine When I saw a breaker advertising the one I wanted I contacted him He said it was the early version of the ECUs fitted to the early MGFs and they were very rare . He didnt say ,they were interchangeable ,but I thought it best to get a matching one .Which paid off .I can now find cosmetic work to do when I feel like it .The body is excellent and the engine registers only 63000 which checking past MOTs seems to be correct Len
I've had a bit of bizarre behavior from my 04 TF over the last week. Went to my garage on Friday unlocked and started up the car no problem. Left it to run for about 15 minutes while I sorted out some parts etc. When I came to lock the car up no response to the Pektron fob so locked the car with the key (had to close the passenger door lock manually). Back at home I changed the fob battery.
Went back to the car yesterday. Opened up with the the key (passenger door unlocked electronically). The clock had stopped or lost 50 minutes (on top of the change to BST). Started the car and drove 5 minutes to fill up with petrol. Didn't lock the car when going to pay. Come back and the car is completely dead, no dash lights, no starter. While sat blocking the pump contemplating how to push the car into the parking area and call the AA I had the brain wave that perhaps the battery isolator switch had come loose? It hadn't, but I turned off the battery then turned it on again producing a click from somewhere. All lights back car starts instantly. Back at my garage the fob locked the car as usual. Did this twice more as a test.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Are these symptoms due to the battery getting low on charge? Does disconnecting/reconnecting the battery reset the alarm/immobilizer?
WOW! That has made a great looking car. Your photography ain't bad either! Nice to see properly cropped images.
Dare I as how much the wrap cost?
I now (Hopefully) do not need to refurb my wheels, as I have just purchased two matching wheels in almost perfect condition for £80, to replace 2 with slight kerbing, but what did the wheel refurb. cost?
