Shitty valver electrics

[Bradharding]

A load of my electrics aren't working in my 93' ph1 valver. The oil temp gauge doesn't (didn't when I bought it), last week the electric mirrors stopped working, and now the fuel gauge seems to be staying on empty most the time and only now and then creeping up!? Plenty of fuel in... Are any of these likely to be bad/corroded connections, dodgy switches, fuses etc or are the units theselves probably nacked? Any help appreciated, cheers.

You're lucky you got a valver to have problems with it!
Been hunting for one in my price range for ages with no luck!

 

[Bradharding]

Only had it about 3-4 weeks mate. Love it to pieces great fun! Big step up from my first car. I'm sure you could afford an average one?

 

[steve740]

my budget is around 900 quid. all the ones on ebay are dogs for that, either fukt or nearly fukt. Desperately want one

 

[Bradharding]

Spent 1450 on mine. Can tell its been ragged around and a few things need tidying up on it but the 185 brake just drew me in haha... If I were you save up a little more mate and keep your eye out on Ebay an autotrader...

 

[steve740]

Will do I think mate. Cheers

Yeah. Gav don't deny what you ain't seen . Was 185 when it was rolling roaded... but been thrashed a bit since then so porbably lost a bit anyway I would have thought?

What mods has he done to it?

 

[Bradharding]

Okay cheers Gav. Went through both fuse boxes last weekend and couldn't find anything wrong. Could probably do with just spraying a bit of electrical cleaner in the contacts though incase there a bit rusted.

 

[steve740]

apparently, induction, exhaust, decat, cams, boost valve, chip, and some internal work he wont let on about!

 

[G_F]

What mods have been done to yours then Brad?

 

[Bradharding]

Yeah same as mine Steve, Ported head and stuff too I think. Don't knwo what else haven't got all the receipts...

[Bradharding]

[steve740]

[Bradharding]
