I think a lot of the problems with diagnosing faults (like abs Alan) are down to Manufacturers making cars/buses/trucks etc overly complicated so that in most occasions the vehicle has to be taken into the dealer to be repaired. Again dealers have a bad name but thats another story. Also in the dealer the way the training courses are pushed in mechanics/technicians directions, there are few people who go on the courses actually use or get to use the training they had which could be down to supervisors putting people on the course as they are better out of the garage for a week. In my previous 2 jobs I know people who have had courses on quite a few items relating to work but have never been given a fault to fix in the garage as the supervisor knows they wont fix it....which is wrong. Also the way the products are designed, there is more reliance on electrics, which to most people the answer is fook that get an electrician thats his job. For me I think the manufacturers have got a lot to answer for, but then again its all down to people's attitudes as well......do they want to fix the fault or is it the fook it i havent been trained on that attitude. Many points here but still no answer to them. Sorry for warbling......had a day from hell and am sober as well. Cheers John Crisp

Not much happening Dave, for me I am gonna be taking the zed for mot in Darvel.......have gotta tax the car so i can use it as its on SORN just now but i'm up for anything local as there are a few other zed owners local. They are all quiet on the western front though. Cheers John Crisp

Maybee he lives in a street with a lot of high speedbumps :mac1: .........maybee not though....

Peter My mate works at Fleetpoint in Darvel, he and the owner of Fleetpoint both have owned 300's in the past and have done engine swaps etc. They have done work for a few of my mates who have evo's/scoobies. My father in law also had work done on his GT4 recently, but I have had no experience of their work etc. Worth a phone call, 01560 322820. HTH Cheers John Crisp

Thats your call mate, my point is i'd rather find out whats wrong rather than suspect, nothing more. Cheers John Crisp

Part number for the exhaust gasket cat to rear section is 20692-1E810. I had to order them for next day delivery. HTH Cheers John Crisp

Why if you are not 100% sure its the pump are you ordering parts. Would it not be better to remove the engine/drop the sump and check the pump and then decide whether or not to replace it if thats deffo whats nachered. You could end up replacing the pump and there aint nothing wrong with it. With the costs involved i'd prefer to be 100% sure before I ordered as there aint no point throwing parts/money at the car unless your 100% sure. Cheers John Crisp

Cheers for the help guys, finally it works.....just need a bendy bus to hook it up to....anyone got a spare one :duffer: Cheers again...John Crisp

Stuart, I am not installing the program in my documents, the software is saved from floppy on pc (my documents) then I create a file and move it to my c-drive. Within the saved files I open the software then create a shortcut and it runs (usually) fine from there. Billy I cant download that file mate. Cheers guys john crisp

Just a thought Geeky, if the software installs in ms dos mode, would i need to run it in that mode as well as usually it starts from a file thats saved in my documents or does itrun through windows. Cheers John Crisp

Geeky i'll give that a try later, I am fine with windows but ms is another story. As I said its real old software but I use it every day. Bantam I never thought of that, it is the last file on the floppy, i'll have a look at that later as well. Cheers guys John Crisp

Anyone else help me here. Cheers John Crisp

That is orking opposite to a car, usually the light comes on when its not charging. What happens when you disconnect the wire from the alternator, is the light still on or does it go off, when the engine is running. Cheers John Crisp

Steve how can it be in use if its not installed? Is dll part of the operating system or something? Cheers znut i'll ask leo. Cheers for the replies. John Crisp

I am trying to install a program onto a Windows 98 laptop but I cant copy it into 'My documents'. All the files apart from one will copy, its called 'owl252.dll, I have the software working on a laptop with Windows 98 to which it saved and works no problem. The software in question is from the nineties and only requires to be copied to C-drive and a creating a shortcut from one of the copied file, real old software. Anyone have any ideas why I cant copy the software, I get a message ("Cannot copy Owl252.dll. The system cannot read from the specified device"). The software is installed from a floppy.Feckin computers again ffs. :headvswal Cheers Guys n gals John Crisp

Cheers guys for the replies. I think its deffo something with the laptop but i'll wait and see. Cheers John Crisp

I feel like a plonker....I know from other people in my company that have had grief with their laptops and software, but I have not had any problems with mine, maybee its a hardware problem.....but as you say Retro pc's are a nightmare. Cheers John Crisp

:bow: Cheers David you are a KING.

David, I dont know what I am doing wrong here mate, when I try to connect nothing happens. Does the serial connection work without drivers etc as if it does an exchange would be appreciated. Being honest I thought the usb would be the easier of the two. Cheers John Crisp

Installed the 4.28 driver tonight.......still wont connect. Have changed the port and still wont connect. What settings on the laptop can I check. Cheers John Crisp

Cheers Retro........I was gonna go out tonight and try it but my car is sardined into the garage surrounded by crap....tomorrow it is mate. Cheers John Crisp
