The only series 2 I have is missing the speedo

My favorite car in show...

I could probably make it

Driving home from work today, every time I touched the brake pedal the hicas light came on. At first I thought low fluid and momentum, but it was definantly the electrical connection. In addition my dash lights dimmed as well, also quite often the aftermarket gauges would reboot (fed from stereo ign power and Lx) and a couple of times the stereo rebooted too. I got almost home, literally as reversing on to my drive all electrics cut out, like totally (even the electric ariel didn't go down) and stayed dead. After about 10 minutes of manouvering it by hand (steering is so heavy when off) back on to the road (so I can use other car tommorow) it just all came back to life (stereo had lost settings so was a complete power loss) Anyone got any ideas? Don't want to drive it in case it cuts out on motorway, and fault finding is harder now it's working again I initially thought with the dimming dash lights and gauge reboot a short circuit between the brake lights and ground. But what's that to do with hicas / power stearing? And then with it completely dying I'm confused

So works just canceled so could go But still havnt got a ticket so can't

Looks like I'm going to have to work this weekend 😞 Also hadn't bought a ticket yet 😞

I am sure I cut it to exactly the right length ie same as old one, but picture shows I might be wrong

I bought the standard door windows trim, shortened it in length and fitted it to the quarter light windows on the other side of the car As I believe you can't buy oem without the windows, and the aftermarket ones are a different colour

I have a swb, it could be a candidate It's got stock door trims cut down and fitted on the other side, but something seems to have shrunk at the hatch end

If you move the speedo dial from UK into jap the speedo reads in miles without a converter. If you keep the jap odometer it will read km without an adapter. I moved my speedo and odometer so no converter needed I did however get an annoying side effect, every time the speed drops to zero the chime goes boing once. A few others reported this, most did not. I wonder if my donor unit was from an auto

Series 1 and 2 have the same insides, but different outsides, so you can swap individual components. Series 3 and 4 are completely different to 1 and 2

I was actually considering the blue team for this

I think Im free for this

I think some luck was involved

I fitted a camera instead of the lock barrel. It fitted perfectly, then I refitted the centre pannel and it was like looking through a toilet roll. Had to bodge a spacer to Make it work

I assume by Goodwood, this meant the motor circuit, not horse racing or museum? Anyone here?

Yes the cutting of the main and vallet keys is the same, it's the ridges down the key that are different

The roof actuators won't work if the boot lid is open, is it possible the boot isn't registering its shut and stopping them working?

Starting to think you just post a stock photo of a missing front end every time there is a meet 🙂

Looks like this happens to be my next day off, so I should be there

Flags! I see flags, are they going to beuleau too? gutted i couldnt make it, looks great, amazing what a bit of advertising achieves 🙂

I can't Make it, I was given the wrong date for a job which it turns out is on Sunday not Monday 😞

It's a bit hot

I read it as it was fine as long as we were in by 9am, I was aiming for the previously advertised 8am
