thats great news! thanks! Where abouts is the UCH box? Is it somewhere in this general area?

Behind? There is (what i think is) the airbag module in front of the shifter, bolted to the floor, but thats long gone. Im pretty sure there is another computer behind the dash somewhere near the fuse box. Maybe its in here. Will stick the key in next week and see what the light does.

W744WTR! i had a theory a while back that these were some of the first vehicles produced for the UK. You see a lot of W7**WTR in press pictures etc. Mine is W748WTR - so probably came over in the same batch! Love the car though, i was so torn between 2118s and TD1.2s. Went for the latter in...

Oh thats interesting, i will clean up my old plugs and reuse them to begin with. I am really not sure what map is on the gen90 I have. It is second hand from a 182 but i got the ITB kit inc injectors all at once so maybe what is on there will at least fire up. Thinking about it, now that ive...

Also - shout out to @KitsonRis for well documenting his struggles fitting this kit to a ph1! And responding to my barrage of questions about it!

I think my one tip would be to remove the pivot bolt on each side rather than removing the bracket from the body. This way you can avoid the risk of the captive nut just spinning. Once that happens it becomes a massive headache. Downside of that is you need ot drop the fuel tank a little one...

Thanks for the guide everyone! Spliced mine in this evening.

how do you tell the difference between Iceberg and Titanium? are there paint codes on the door sticker?

Digging up again because I now have said kit and am trying to get my head around the wiring. Kit you mention in another thread that pin65 goes to pin41 for the shift light, but that's not mentioned here on any of the sheets northloop showed. Does the shift light work on yours? Also the TPS...

also - is this the general group-N? or what has been experimented on with 421 cams?

Wow, wasnt expecting an answer so fast - Thanks. Well while i have your attention - Does the VVT kick in from 1600RPM all teh way to redline? Adding 16degree (advance or r****d?). How would the above be adjusted to compensate running without VVT? I thought the aim was to r****d the inlet so at...

Digging up an old thread - can someone remind me exaclty what the cam angle changes are for group N? i thought it was 9degree (r****d?) on the exhaust, anything on the inlet? has anyone experimented with group-N timing with 421 cams? I guess your limiting factor is going to be when you risk...

Any engine loom needs that can tell me what these plugs on the engine loom are for? Loom: ph1 172 engine Location: back of the transmission, near the starter motor There are two of these three pin ones, one goes to the speed sensor thought not completely sure which. Then there are these two...

Hello - when stripping down my engine i noticed i failed to take note of a few bolt sizes to replace. I dont suppose anyone knows off the top of their head these bolts sizes? I assume they're M10x15mm but what length?

This was my thinking! I read so much about people getting the wrong lengths with pattern parts and having knocking issues. Especially for ph1s as it sounds like they changed every dimension a tiny amount just to make sure the ph2 parts wouldnt quite work right! Having such a headache with the...
