Signed, Robbing b*stards!!!

Have you tryed this test? http://www.ttzd.com/tech/diagnostictech.html

That must of been the black one I seen at SWZ yesterday? I wanted a black one and ended up with red!

Oh right cool!! as long as its nothing wrong with box!! cheers mate!!

I have to say mate that your brother is totally right! got a used ECU from paul at SWZ for a price of £20! stuck that in and she works perfect!! chuffed to bits now :hyper: been waiting a long time for this! but there is one thing id like to ask and that is whats that orange light about on the dash next to O/D light??? comes on when I boot it but not all the time I think? but doesent flash goes out when I take my foot off is it just a boost light?? but anyway mate have a :duffer: on me!!!

Excellent mate cheers! :bow:

Cheers andyduff :D

Just had a look at ECU just to see if there was any loose connections thought id take a pic. I know the gold one is the main ECU so is the one on the left with the 'C' on the autobox ECU? there is a small box just behind the one with the 'C' could that be it???

Nah you only get them on the imports would be nice to have one though!!

I only have an o/d button mines a uk car! when the light comes on it just stays on, no flashes. Iv tryed the diagnostic test many times and it wont work :mad: so not sure if theres a different test for uk models? Good thing about where I live I have SWZ performance the zed specialist about 10mins drive so could tap them up and maybe borrow a ECU from them to check? then buy it if need be? appreciate your help mate posted many times about this! and had no replys!

I thought o/d was like sports mode? and 4th was 4th!! I know that some wires and pipes are very brittle under bonnet so could be dodgy wires? When you say the ECU is under foot well are you saying theres two in there? coz the main ECU iv ran the test on it with no fault codes (55) I can remember theres another box next to it silver I think?

Hello mate, engine runs sweet so you think the ECU? so it does go into o/d and lock up? havent a clue what that means! these motors are a bit technical for my brain!! So where is the ECU located to? and maybe a rough idea how much a second hand one is to buy? Thing is ive tryed the diognostic test and it doesent work so no idea of fault codes? your starting to make me feel better mate :mac1:

Right Iv driven zed at 80mph and the revs were at 3100rpm so whats the score with that?? Im looking forward to the day this box works properly!!

I presume its a good idea not to let them touch?!

Oh right the two together! is that the yellow one? which isent in the best condition but I have cleaned it up could do with a new one as its very brittle but it did keep switching the fan on when the connection was broken...

Dont think iv experienced lock up? at just over 40mph the revs do drop but I thought it was changing into 4th? no revs drop thereafter. I will check the revs at 80 when I pick kids up from school. Engine temp sensor was loose coz when you boot it the needle jumped allover the place but had full service done which sorted that prob.

It makes no difference if you have overdrive on or off? the gear changes always select the same way. not sure with the lockup dident know they had it?? how would I tell from 4th and lockup? Iv reset the batt but only for an hour do you have an idea how many hours in total it should be disconnected to reset box ecu? cheers for your time mate!

That would be great... YES!!! PM me if you need to give numbers?? cheers mate :hyper:

Anyone out there that knows about problems like this??? Anyoneeeeeeeeeeee??

Ok... Ive posted once or twice about this problem but had no come back so I will try to explain it in a bit more detail! When I first fire up my 91 uk tt and drive off while cold the gears go 1-2 maybe to 3rd sometimes? and not 4th but when shes hot I have to boot it hard before it will kick into 4th then it works fine driving normal but when I boot it through the gears it goes 1-2 as normal then its goes 2-4 soon as it hits 4th it kicks back into 3rd strait away then winds up through 3rd then into 4th and will do this all day long this has been going on for nearly a year. I cant get the diagnostic test to work so have no idea of fault codes??? I have done a oil chance a couple weeks ago which looked like this, oil was brown in colour maybe not changed for a few years??? but no obvious signs of disintegration, spotless infact! which was nice to see! Colour of oil pic, Does the box have a separate ECU? which could be screwed?? If anyone can help with this that would be great? Cheers...

Iv had a noisy lifter for a year now and it gets on my tits!! started 2 days after I bought it iv tryed oil changes, lifter treatment long cruises and no change the only way to stop it is to kane the arse off it!! then its fine... till you switch off and fire up again. Ive been quoted £700 to replace them. but then ive just clocked mine up to 98,000miles but yours has such low miles that your lifter could be sticky?? give it a good drive mate wind her right up and get that oil flowing!! she'll be alright!!!

Perv!!!!!

Iv just used a full tank in 290miles cost about £65. 10 years no claims, fully comp, no claims protection, legal protection and something else?? for £500 the year with elephant.co.uk or £365 in one lump sum..

My advice is to steal a petrol tanker then that should save you a few grand a year!! coz the zeds love to stop at every garage they come across!!

Now shes a whore you can slip her a few quid for a jump!!! just keep that £70 back for a full tank of fuel and hand that over to her!!!
