New column didn’t fix it after all that, really hope it’s the ecu or I might set fire to it

That was fun to remove

I’ve sourced a cheap steering column for £60 but it could also be the ecu that’s dead. There’s a company that wipes the ecu so you can just plug in and it recodes itself - just needs to be the same part number. So I need to get the part number from my ecu, of course it’s right under the clocks...

Trip to diamond motors confirmed ends that a new steering column is required. They’re not expensive thankfully Doubt it will be ready for donnington next Sunday 😭

Black , too much blue

Fitted these after picking up from @RSRowe - they make the front end look so much better. Came up well with a polish !

Did you say £20k 👀

Looks too nice for a track car that 👌

Got the car booked in with diamond motors next week. Hopefully he can get it fixed before my trackday on 8th :eek:

I’ve got the steering fault permanently now. It’s reading a few codes but nothing that looks related , maybe brake pedal switch fault? Battery looks ok with 13.6v

bet you haven't got a plate as good as his though

Seems crazy that in the event of a low battery, they thought it would be a good idea to switch off the power steering in the middle of driving. Why not something a bit less intrusive? I had it go half way round donnington which was an interesting lap.

I wanted one of these ZPO but f**k paying £60 for a mount

Picked up a cheap gopro hero 8 which does seem to do spot metering but you have to set it every time the camera reboots. The battery doesn't work but i'll just hard wire it. Would this mount be ok? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TXC5KNI/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Could be related, car doesn’t get used much and it has got a smaller battery. The guy in that link had the steering column replaced though

I've had this a few times in my 197, seems to be fixed by turning the car off and starting again. You get a loud beep, error comes on the dash and then you lose the power sterring. I also had a check ESP warning the other day which again was fixed by restarting. Doesn't seem to be much...

Heat pump still the way to go with dryers?

Think of getting something for my next track day - will a 4 silver and an official mount be ok to attach to the cage? I know its an older device but should still be decent quality

That is some thread bump 😂

There’s just something about seeing a naked gearbox with all new parts.

I’m not pissing on your misfortune dude calm down. It’s your car sell it for whatever 😂

£12k seems pretty ambitious tbh.

Took mine for a drive today.

Doesn’t mention pins ?

On the subject of safety, does everyone use split pins for the harness fastenings?

probably about 15.5 - should be ok with a medium then?

whats the sizing like on the hans? they only seem to do 2 sizes?

yes i'll tell my daughter she needs to buy her own kit.
