Also if anyone does have any info on my car i d be interested to hear it.... it has a tax disc holder with Munro Motor Co, Torquay and the number plates have Ashburton tyres tq13 7lg written on them.  There is a sticker inside the car saying serviced by RJS Autos but doesn\'t give a location!

Many thanks for the badge... makes all the difference!  Far better than 4 ugly holes! lol!

If any one has a spare rear wiper piece, a passenger side wing indicator and a heater control module amongst spares they would like to sell... i would be most interested!

Cheers:cheers

Logicon? is that the name of the heater control module in the dash?  If it is id be interested  if you d like to sell it?  At present someone has put an on/off switch in but thats not ideal.

Also i ve discovered today that my rear wiper doesn\'t work ( suspect motor i think!) and the fronts only have one speed... any ideas anyone?? :3Confused

[TiddlesRX7]

Not sure about the rear wiper but the fronts only working on one speed is a common problem. Its a blown relay in the switch. There is a write up on how to fix it somewhere on here but most people just look out for a good second hand one. I\'ve a spare but Im afraid im not selling it incase mine goes at some point.

No worries,  thanks for the heads up though... i ll have a trawl through tomorrow and see if i can find the thread for fixing! :Thumbs-up

No probs, glad i could help.

Here is a thread with the easy way of fixing the wipers, saves removing the old relay. :Thumbs-up

let me have a nosey around the garage .. i have some wiper switches somewhere aswell ( no idea if they work or not ) - i cant use them as i have a cab and need the roof control switch

mine only work on one speed aswell .. its very annoying but still pass\'s the MOT

[SSScoupe]

Got caught out with the one speed wiper in the rain today :-(  Never mind having run on the greasy roundabouts made up for it!

Also had my first random rotary stalling today... came to start the car after a 20 mile drive.... and well it just wouldn\'t fire... very random.... so i pulled out the EGI Controller fuse after the previous owner told me that removing this and then cranking the engine would usually make it fire and hey presto we were away again.  :3gears-rh Random really!

Cheers for the link on the relays... something else to look at.

Also can any recommend a decent panel filter?  Are they worth while?  I ve seen a standard one for £8 or an HKS one for £33.  I was thinking of making my own perhaps with a block of filter foam.... thoughts??!

[TiddlesRX7]

K&N pannel filter maybe?

Oh and lastnight both my front wipers and rear wiper decided to stop working. The fronts have fixed themselves now but the rear one still isn\'t working. Your not alone!

Glad im not the only one:Tongue1...  

RX7 won\'t start at all today?!  who knows why!  I ll take a look tomorrow and see if i can get to the bottom of it!  Its probably flooded although how that happened on a fuel injected car im unsure!

[TiddlesRX7]

They are known sometimes to develop leaky injectors which causes the engine to flood. Remove the EGI fuse from the engine bay and crank the car over for 5-10 seconds. Put the fuse back in and see if she starts. A way of stopping this from happening is to put a fuel pump switch in. When you get home or where ever you flick the switch turning the pump off. Then let the car run till it starts to caugh, at this point turn it off.
Hope this helps

I find if i make sure the engine is warm before turning it off it won\'t flood, ie i would\'nt start the car to move it out the garage and switch it off straight away without letting it run for at least five minutes, that way it\'ll start next time round!

Not sure why but it works for me.

I should know better really, my Almera GTI used to flood if i just moved it around from one space to another... that used to start again either by removing the plugs for half hour and let some fuel evaporate or sometime if you kept the throttle in it would eventually cough into life!  I used to have to do the same and leave it running for 5 mins!

Thanks Ade for the tip on the fuel pump, thats a useful idea.  If it continues  l ll consider that!  Cheers

Also starting it with the accelerator fully down acts as a fuel cut off. I usually do this in gear so the clutch is down too. Doing it this way also stops the cold start assist so it wont rev to 3K on start up.
