Hand brake tested it today as it was slipping on my travels,
The car just drove off with the hand brake on... :|
It stalled while holding the break and lifting but only very high.
Tried to video it on my phone but frame rate and sound quality is awful.
I love my DC's, but have only ever worn them twice! Wear the etnie's as daily ho's.
Now I went to take pics, but then I sort of.. forgotten which one I was ment to take them of :o What a fool
Anyways, I have these:
Possibly that the top there?
One for Mr Aluco:
I'll be able to get...
I was thinking of sticking it on the back of the interior mirror tbh, or the black corner on the window, as it's just a white DC with black surround.
I have stuff to sort out paint wise lol!
Not sure it's worth the hassle of lovely it up, getting someone who has done similiar before and will sort any other problems out will be better for the car IMO.
Could say the wiring is freying yeah, pics will englighten.
Most stickers removed, I have the pedo bear on still and CS.net ones. I...
I'll have a dig when I get home, I guess I'll PM Fred and see if he has a price on it aswell.
350 ish quid out the window, I'll stall on buying other bits till I have this sorted I guess. :o
Thanks Scott, will have to get it sorted.
I've fucked it all up tbh, but I'll get it all sorted. I have abit of cash to put into her, the other half of it is going to a uni fund.
How much was clutch etc? 3/400?
SERV of the right, STOP on the left top corner.
Same something about couple of the wires being abit murdered I think, you can just pull the sensor out yeah? I could just try and get another.
Before I think mate, it's to do with the O2 filter (or atleast hopefully). Just the wiring needs sorting I've been told by a mechanic. That was the same time the carbon cannister lid was loose and the reason (hopefully) it died in the cold.
Could be related though, not too sure tbh.
I would have popped down and been your photographer for the day, but I had hand ins in college and well, I can't have every other tuesday off!
Nice vids.
Went out and tested it abit more,
2nd Gear, around 1500, floored it and it got to about 2.2k, good hard judder and it revved up erractically like before.
Going to go behind screwfix tomorrow and do a stall test and see how it goes.
Hopefully this + O2 sensor sorted will give it a breathe...
I'll get my Dad out in it with me tonight and show him, he'll know :o
Pretty damn sure it's the clutch slipping though, it's only when it's put under any power.
Car is just as a car would expect to be in any gear, but if I floor it it will just rev like it's in neutral above around 3k.
It's fine if I'm nice and gentle with the power pedal though, like if I press it too hard it slips and revs up to I presume the red line, I let off before it goes very...
First happened a good while ago, but now it's just becoming a pain and more common.
Flooring the 1.2 in 2/3/4/5, it revs up like in neutral, clutch engaged. If it revs up and I hold it there it will take 3/4 seconds but the engine will seem to grip back up and act normally at the new rev...
