    MB2 Won't Start

    Was there a 12v supply going to the sub? Only thing I can think of is if there was then possible its shorted during removal blowing one of the main fuses? Vheck all the fuses both in the engine bay and also inside the car. From what i remember thete is a fuse for the ecu in the interior fuse box.
  2. Was the car fine before? The cause can be many things so it will be a process of elimination. As you changed some of the main culprits, you need to start looking at trying the following Replace the fuel filter Replace spark plug leads Check condition of dizzy cap and rotor arm and replace if necessary. Check the earths in the engine bay, make sure they all have good contact to metal. Other causes could be possible air leak in the intake system making it run to lean.
  3. Do you mean buy complete headlights brand new? I don't think they are available new mate, unless you find a dealership with some new/old stock still left. Isit the lenses that are fogged/not clear anymore? They can be brought back to life in a number of ways. I used cutting compound (G3) and a buffer on my old MA8 lights which brought them up like new. To be honest, they were never the brightest lights even when new. Changing bulbs to Osram Night Breakers makes a big difference. If they are really dim though (try and get a pic to show us) it could be a bad earth or poor connection. The terminals in the plug can become corroded which affects the power getting to the bulb. It could also be a failing relay.
  4. I don't think thats the diagnostic port mate (unless someone can clarify?) It should be on the passenger side of the car.
  5. @Boosted It's ok mate, we can forgive you this time lol Be good to get a wee topic/project thread started about your car so we can follow your progress
  6. Any more up for this? Theres been a few new members joined recently with some sweet Civic M's, lets see them in the competion!

  10. Actually thats a good idea, just in case.
  11. And still not fitted the dab kit yet. Hoping to get it done over the next couple of weeks.
  12. Or for more torture look out the window and see a vulva! oh the pain and boredom!
  13. Tidy wee cars the VRS mate, that one looks clean. Means you can take your time with the deck getting her modded perfectly!
  14. That is stunning! Beautiful MB6 mate, loving the look and your mods!
  15. Yeah, im constantly scouring the net for a classic ford (mk1 or mk2 escort and mk3 capri) but like you say prices are out of this planet now! Bugger, because i got offered a tidy capri 2.8 injection about 2 years ago....needed minimal work and from a guy i know who owns a garage. Was his own car, even showed me it up on the ramp. Could have got it for £2500 with an mot ready for the road! Asked gayle and she said it was up to me.......i turned it down! She still casts it up to me now lol stupid boy! Cant even buy a rolling shell for that now! Gutted!

    Turbo help

    bolting in a turbo is easier than a whole engine conversion though ( plus you need to have the engine and all thats required for the swap) and the turbo route is probably cheaper. Depends what you want from the car, as we know modding is an individual thing. The D series respond well to boost
  19. Lmao says the old duffer who drives a vulva!
  20. i know mate, its a total pain in the ass! Was stupid of them as it just means most folk will just dump them now, noone in their right mind will pay that just to host images. luckily its easy to upload the images straight to the forum, but a ball ache for all the images we've previously hosted there on pb
  21. Was saying to Gayle and Paul at the meet its hard to believe Tubs has that many miles under her belt! Still looks good and goes like a train!
  22. and that was one ive just uploaded to PB. All appears to be working! might be worth going through your projects and updating the pb links so yoyr images are displayed
