Not sure about the ECU but the problem doesn't really make sense. The ECU does not affect the reading on the speedo. So, if you've put UK spec clocks into a Jap car and it under reads, then it sounds like you have a speedo convertor wired in there somewhere already. Did your previous clocks read right ? Do the new clocks have the same scale, or even a standard scale ?

Yeah, I did a welding course like that, it was only one evening a week though.

Ohhh, what a post whore !

You never know - am helping build one of these at the moment :- http://web.mac.com/rawuk/iWeb/Raw/Raw%20Striker.html

Long way from me, but there again I have my own blasting cabinet for small stuff.

SE were working on something similar to this for Russ, don't think it ever got finished though.

People who don't walk on the left on stairs and corridors

Usually use Bosch Tried the flatblade ones but were hopeless - too much curvature - didn't wipe the centre of the screen AutoExpress did a product test on wipers and I think they rated the Valeo ones as best - it's on their website.

You could try and use the one built into the rear window, that looks similar to the heater element.

Yep, agreed, most likely candidate (along with water pump). Stubby pipes are about £12 each, or were when I did mine.

48 problems all fixed ? Excellent !

I'm sure I read somewhere that now the threat is no worse, but people just worry about it more. It's really a media driven thing, we have so many channels and newspapers to fill that EVERYTHING makes the news, people feel the threat is real and local. In general people are very bad at understanding (or managing risk). They tend to rate low probability but high impact as high risk (eg being killed by a terrorist bomb) and high probability, low/medium impact as low risk (eg crashing a car). You are far more likely to be killed in a car than by a terrorist.

You give me the horrors too bad to be true All of my tomorrow’s are lousy coz of you.

Not to mention the cost of fitting it in the box, plus removal/replacement. That's why bought a new box.

Like a nightclub in the morning you're the bitter end Like a recently disinfected ....

Without cheating ...

Just a thought, should you be using a bank transfer and be considering an amount identical to a typical subscription, please could you make it just a penny different - it's a nightmare sorting out those as the reference information often gets stripped as it goes from bank to bank. Thanks.

Absolutely agree. Don't think the oil is a different weight, just a slightly different spec). The decision was made with Oilman's advice.

Well they were as close as any UK cluster would be. My old Jap one was spot on because I had a calibrated converter in it. There are a couple of screws for fine tuning the speedo, but I've never got around to fiddling with them.

No, I installed the new clock assemblies into the old circuit board. The old/new boards have different connectors and obviously those connectors have to match your existing wiring loom.

Hmmm, can't remember. Although, I vaguely recollect altering it to be right for my car, so maybe I did use use the new one.

Gearbox and diff is supposed to use slightly different spec, but I used the same.

Read it somewhere long time back.

I think in Word you just create one document and then do the rest in the printing. eg 4 on one sheet.

It's supposed to be an interim fix/bodge for noisy synchros, but it's harsh on the box and certainly won't extend it's life, probably quite the opposite. The original spec oil is probably best, I took a gamble on a more modern fully synth.
