So are you any further on?

Have you swaped the Ecu\'s yet? The suspence is killing me

[grinder]

hiya chaps - progress made so far - NONE

still feeling a bit rough - and i think the better half will KILL me if i mention playing outside

ALTHOUGH - i have a guy in AUS getting me some shipping quotes on a know WORKING N374 ecu - i reckon i can get it to my door for about £30 - £35

so thats one avenue

as i have said - not tried the TII one for fear of death

still not sure if the ECU will sort it - i have doubt in the back of my mind - but it should at least narrow the search to something else

the car is looking pretty sorry for its self at the moment - no clocks , lots of wires around , no plugs or leads , no air box , no fuel relay etc..

been trying to sort out the insurance on the TII with adding all the toys i have bought - so if the cab takes a while longer - i might beable to get the TII sorted

i have come to the conclusion that this will NOT be a simple fix - so the urgency is slightly out the way

if i get chance during the week i will pull the TII ecu and try that - it should only take an hour i reckon

at the moment i need to spend time with Elisabeth - so the car is on a back burner ( well thats the theory thats been hammered home by the better half !! )

Figured me remote start out stu,  i connected the CDL output to a relay and it cranks over for 3.5 secs now,  and then starts,

hummm so mine wont run - and yours will start off a key fob - no fair !! LOL

[grinder]

not had much of an update recently - so here goes ( you will like this )

not looked at the car for a good few days - been feeling pretty lousy - so the car isnt high on the list of stuff to do

on the other hand - i have a WORKING N374 stock ECU in the post from AUS - just not sure how long it will take

another good thing is that i have spoken to my insurance for the TII and to add :

vented headlight cover
different wing mirrors
rear strut brace
front lower brace
FMIC ( Custom Made )
cat back exhaust ( Single Exit Exhaust )
full coil overs ( Fully ajustable coilovers - Protech shocks with Eibach springs and camber/caster ajustment pillow top mounts )
Different Alloys

is gonna cost me that grand total price of £0.00

Happy days eh

Stu

Lovely, so when are we fitting the bits ??

[Prof]

Who\'s your insurer ?

[grinder]

the insurance is heritage - they have been very good to me so far

and shaun - when im feeling better and just need to work out what to fit first ( i think suspension will be the first thing or maybe the exhaust or maybe ... LOL )

We have a V plated M5 in work at the Moment with a Remote start, its quite amusing becouse the car starts on the first click and the Starter keeps going for a second or so (makes one ungodlly Noise) its great

[grinder]

Ahh you see the Advantages of getting old

hummm not sure age has anything to do with adding bits ??

either way - im a happy bunny

like i said - need to work out what to fit first , and have a read up about fitting coil overs - as i dont know how or when to set them

[Grizzly]

Funny you should say that, i had a simalar chat with the Girl i bought my Fd\'s Insurance from, She told me "they take more notice of Performance mods if you are under 25" Plus i supose you haven\'t realy done anything to make it more Powerfull?? I mean they see Mods as a % increase in Power so if you had fitted mods that increased the HP by 25% then i think you may have felt it.
