well my gearbox is dead my car whines on boost, it looks like a shed and is Hemorrhageing power steering fluid, and now......

 

 

my head lights are playing up...

 

right when i turn the sidelights on, the dash doesn't light up, then when i turn the headlights on the dash still doesn't light up but the full beams come on???

 

the stalk is working i can flash or put the full on,

 

when i put the front fogs on the dash lights up,

 

could this be the pod that's failed? or is there a fuse?

check the Main light fuse by the throttle peddle .. think its top row 3rd from left

 

 

Manual Conversion would be good ..

 

Sounds like a boost pipe could be off

also check both dipped light fuses in the engine bay...

also check both dipped light fuses in the engine bay...

found the fault today,

 

checked all the fuses, all good,

checked the relays, all good,

checked the bulbs, all good,

checked the connectors on the bulbs, all good

removed the dash and checked the connectors and bulbs, all good

 

getting annoyed i got the voltmeter out and found a break in one of the wires to the block connector that goes to the light switch, (green and black wire on the right)

 

so repaired it and and all good, got headlights again now,

 

just need to fix the rest of the zed now....lol...:blink:

Check for any little green monsters Gremlins lol

 

But good to see you sorted one of the problems

Having heard the sound of your turbos from the video you posted a while back, i take it they are stage 2

 

also, when you are driving it, can you hear them really loudly spool up as if you have left either an intake pipe off, or like the turbo is open to air (if that makes any sense)? if so i have just one question for you, when you put them on did you prime the turbos with oil? sounds like they need a bit of time to get some oil to the bearings.

yeah turbos are stage 2, and i think i know what you mean, id say it sounds like a supercharger. the turbos were primed a fair few times, and then the car was left running on my driveway for ages, before i ever drove it, and they have made the same noise ever since the first drive, been on there more then long enough for oil to be circulating,(100-150KM now) oil pressure is all good too.

 

 

as of tomorrow its no longer my daily drive, as its now un-drivable. ill get the gearbox sorted first, then probably aim to get the engine out next year when i have the money

 

also fitted new braided oil lines, special ones without restrictors as they are not ball bearing turbos.
