Hi peeps,

 

Just got back from hols in Vegas. After driving a crappy rental down roads with no corners and roundabouts, I couldn't wait to get behind the wheel of my Zed again and experience some real driving.

 

1. Car wouldn't start. Flat battery. Jumped it with another car, but it turned over with the fuel injector relay removed. Wouldn't start with it in.....how strange. All ok on that front, but strange nevertheless.

 

2. Speedo, now comes on when it wants. Below 20MPH it flickers and dies. (Jap spec BTW converted years ago).

 

3. Power steering is heavy as hell. HICAS light comes on. Checked fluid, all good. Switch off and on again and all is ok with both.

 

I think 2 and 3 are related, but could be wrong there. Any ideas chaps....and ladies of course!

 

Cheers

2 & 3 are either a faulty speed convertor if it's an import or a faulty speed sensor on the side of the gearbox.

or dry solder joints on the speedo

did'nt paulzx have a similar problem with his clocks, i'm pretty sure he put it down to dry soilder!!!

Sounds like dry joints, I get the same thing, I give it a good whack and the speedo starts to work and the power steering kicks back in.

 

Going to take my clocks off this weekend and take a look before I break something. :)
