If these are Rain Sports a lot of the Track Attack guys use the as "wet's"

Welp, I no longer have a EPS warning light

3 dodgy looking wires going to the Torque sensor, some soldering in the past with bad heat shrink and exposed wires.

Continuity from those wires to the PS ECU.

Swapped out the PS ECU from my donor 8 for the rotus.

Checked the battery post, I could tighten it right up and it would lift off. Put a slit in a 15mm olive put that around the post and clamped the wire back on. Happy days.

It could have been any 3 that was the culprit, ill never know.

I can go back to having weedy arms now.

Big thanks to the "Wiltshire RAC" for his wisdom.

Sort the squeaky brakes next while the alloys are being refurbed.

it's satisfying when you get to the bottom of a problem and fix it, well done Jamie

Wouldnt have the confidence to fiddle without Jon there for guidance.

I have the capabilties, I just dont like fiddling with stuff I dont understand.

I'm sure different car makes are different, however.....

.... Bought some new brake fluid recommended by the Wiltshire RAC

is there a particular sequence for flushing the old stuff out or just keep pumping through the new stuff to the caliper furthest away ??

So near side rear, offside rear, near side front, offside front?

Or doesn't it matter ?

I don't have any of this fancy vacuum bleeding malarkey, just the father in laws right foot and some careful instruction

Casey · March 10, 2020, 09:04:28 PM

That's what I do Jamie.

Don't run reservoir dry. ABS pump is a bitch to get air out of. Need forscan/ids to activate pump
