Re: Wink Mod Fitting Guide and FAQ
Hi I've had the kit on my car for about two years and it's been great, but it started getting a bit intermittent and now it's stopped working. Took the kit off and the lights behave, but with the kit installed the light it is on won't lift. If I wind it up manually and do a wink or turn the lights o...

Re: Side lights, number plate lights, dash lights not workin
I eventually found the cause of the fault to be a shocking wiring job on the fog light... I never found the exact cause of the short (which still has me a bit worried tbh!), but I found the fog light was feeding straight from the side light circuit, several joins in wires that were just the two cabl...

Side lights, number plate lights, dash lights not working
Hi all Had all the above lights fail tonight, the 15amp fuse had blown (actually had a 10amp in there), replaced with a 15amp, but it blows as soon as the side lights are turned on. I've disconnected the front and rear side light units, number plate lights, all the instrument connections, light in t...

Re: Possible pinking?
I bought a new thermostat and before fitting put it in a pot on the hob with the old thermostats. I didn't have a thermometer to hand, but the original thermostat started to open very early, the one I put in before opened when the water was boiling, and the new one was somewhere between the two...

Re: Possible pinking?
I would check that the rad is not getting blocked, do you have a grill fitted? M-m The rad is totally clear, no grille fitted, nothing obstructing it. I believe I'm right in thinking above about 3500rpm the ECU stops using the lambda and goes open loop, only using the AFM and I assume some temperat...

Re: Possible pinking?
Right, after a bit more testing at the weekend I've discovered that the car is running hot, but not overheating. just. Basically sitting on the A1 below about 60 the temp stays just left of center, gently speed up to around 65-70 and it will creep up to about the far edge of the wavy bit of the temp...

Re: Possible pinking?
That gauge looks right to me. The gauge isn't linear. It basically shows; Cold, warming, almost there, operating temp, dampered, dampered, dampered Whoa - fook what's all that steam! and why is there a puddle of alloy under the roadster????? :laughing-rolling: but really reads ^ That's what I thoug...

Re: Possible pinking?
Does it climb any higher than that position? M-m Maybe a tiny bit, but as I said I've been very cautious about letting it get hot so have been backing right off so it wouldn't get hotter. When I drive home on Friday morning (I'm away from the car until then) I'll stay on it a bit more and see what ...

I agreed with Lazza, there is a How to on fitting a aftermarket gauge if needed, has for this "ticking" a vid would be great, and localising it in the engine bay even better. http://www.mazdamenders.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=2481 :handgestures-thumbup: M-m Cheers, I wasn't sure ...

Re: Possible pinking?
Just past middle is the usual position. Sounds like you fixed a problem replacing the thermostat rather than causing one. Just watch that the temperature doesn't go near the high mark. That's put me slightly at ease, though it still seemed a bit too warm. It got hot enough to turn the rad fan on cr...

Possible pinking?
Hi all For the last couple of weeks I've had a bit of a "tick" under load, which as I had a bit of a tick at idle as well I assumed was a sticky HLA. The car also seemed to be running a bit cool during the winter (heater still putting out hot air, but needing to put the heater on higher th...

Re: Exhaust manifolds and decat
Before you go down the route of spend spend spend? it does just sound like a heat shield loose, either jubilee clip it solid again or just remove it altogether, if you get underneath you should be able to find it straight away which one is at fault. Not had a problem with the S/steel single and twi...
