The Lowwwwwww Ph2 - Progress Thread

[Christopher]

Spot on

Get it back to how it was ASAP now!

You forgot the update about your xenon too

 

[f0xy]

ummmmmmmm die. lol......

basically passenger side xenon stopped working, checked fuses, they were fine.............took unit off car, then ballast off the bottom, was swimming with water.......dried the ballast, charger, and headlight unit out, put it back together, still no joy.

had it all off again, checking looms, relays, allsorts.........swapped the ballast from the non working unit to the working one, worked oddly, so figured it must be wiring related. re-checked fuses and:

how it wasnt blown when I first checked is beyond me, but oh well, works again now.

happy chris?

 

[Hazza]

All that effort!

Theres a hair in the photo too!

 

[f0xy]

[Hazza]

rookie all that for a fuse lol. Are we sticking with the superlegs then?

 

[Mwindow]

to top it all off found a few more scratches, parking dents on both sides of the car past few days, even though ive been parking in the furthest spots away from anywhere, unbelievable.

Car looks sweet as always.

What will you do about the parking dents? I've noticed a few on mine in the past couple of days under the passenger side rear window and am a bit flumuxed about what to do with them?

 

[jams]

So are you putting the supers back on or you still trying to find some turini's?

 

[Christopher]

I feel better now.

Who's passed their theory test in here? Just asking out of curiosity.

 

[VeinAST]

You need some pointers to help you out Chris ?

 

[mini-valver]

Your fuse has blown Jord, I bet thats why your xenon stopped working TBH.

Flipping INK!!!!!!!!11

I think I've got about 3... Doesn't seem quite so bad now

 

[f0xy]

well, you cant see them, they are tiny, all of them, but at a certain angle when its clean, looks like a mountain range the amount of little tiny creases

 

[bmh.01]

How the hell is that wheel not buckled? I did far less damage to a superturismo and bent it quite well.

 

[f0xy]

it took lip of the edge off, no damage to the actual structure of the wheel...i had it checked, its straight and true...

when he balanced it yesterday putting the tyre back on it was near enough perfectly balanced also, only needed like 2 grams on the outer edge...

 

[Hazza]

lol @ haircut... did you get the money back for the turinis i cant remember if you told me or not

Hairy muff, all good then. Guess its how you hit it more than how it looks.

[f0xy]

ballast pack underneath the unit, check its not got wet, then check fuses + relays

 

[swell]

to be honest mate i dont know what a ballast pack is..... any help?? and what fuse is the lights fuse? cheers m8

 

[f0xy]

look on the inside of the fuse cover (passenger side end of dash) and it shows you a diagram of what fuse is what. the ballast pack is under the headlight unit, gotta take bumper off, then headlight off to get at it

 

[swell]
