....or could someone pls post on my behalf on this one occasion? :)

having let my subscription elapse :nono: i cannot post in for sale section as yet. would just like to let you know that Ill have the bonnet mate if its still up for sale!

Silver Zed L reg, black centres on wheels, I saw you coming around canklow roundabout about 6.30am this morning!!I was in my other car so you wouldnt have noticed me :D

Sorry Si but it didnt look like yours at the time, you were in my rear view mirror right until you turned onto the dual carraigeway down to the bottom of woodhouse so didnt get a good look at ya.

sunday afternoon heading down dual carraigeway towards Beighton/Woodhouse, had a veilside logo in rear quarter glass. You wouldnt have spotted me though I was in my Yaris...I go to my daughters most sundays over in Hackenthorpe and always take the Zed except this one time..doh

Short term, remove clips from the wheel arch liner, and remove hose from the bottom of the valve you see in there,it will be full of condensed water and drain off-problem solved until you decide to do the removal!

Yeah it was me! and yeah I did notice the MR2 lol :p My alter ego car is now a dark blue Yaris-got rid of the Starlet so look out for me I will probably be flashing you again pretty sOOn ;)

Yup it was me! in the blue yaris this time :D , tomorrow im in the Zed so will look out for ya.

actually its set to ACTUATOR not solenoid ..oops!

forgive me if this is stupid...theres a switch on the back of the controller that you can set to either wastegate or solenoid, Its currently at solenoid is this correct?

Ive had fitted a blitz dsbc controller, tried to set it up with the boost gauge but regardless what setting I used the boost would go to 1.2bar, read a few of the old posts around the forum and went to check if the stock solenoids were still connected...they were,pulled the plugs and went for a run, tried all 4 preset boost settings (i set to 40 50 60 70 for test purposes) but now the car wont boost above 0.5bar...any ideas guys???? thx u ;)

sorry for the quick thread hijack! Can anyone supply a pic of the location of the stock boost solenoids-Im getting similar symptoms and suspect Im still hooked up to stock solenoids! Thx you ...back to the thread...ahemmm :rolleyes:

Bet you thought I was some chavvy guy out to impress :) The Starlet was my sons, I had a 2.5 Calibra when I got the Zed and couldnt afford to run both so did him a swap, I get all sorts of grief in that with lads in baseball caps wanting to race etc...I suppose it doesnt help that theres a big Kenwood sticker all over the back screen sigh! See you next week!

Saw you wed too!!! Only this time you were down by the college,I waved like a looney but as I was in the OTHER car I dont think you noticed...Ill be in the Zed next tues so will look out for ya.

Ive just had one fitted, although its not working correctly and madly overboosting, its not down to incorrect fitment but the actual controller head unit being damaged, I do have instructions that you can have and as mentioned before, youre more than welcome to take a look at mine if you want.Umm you did say yours was a SSBC controller didnt you...mine is a DSBC which I think is Dual Solenoid I hope you have the right one!

Seen you this evening!! About 5.30pm today coming down Warren Vale although you wouldnt have seen me I was in my Starlet daily runabout.Ive started a course at Dearne Valley for a couple of evenings a week so may well spot ya again :)

Hope the date went well mate! Im up your way next friday-booked in at JP Autotechnics for boost controller fitted. :cool:

Identical problem here, mine turned out to be the temp sender too(not the black smoke part of the problem though)

Well...Im saying red...it could have been Si's orange one, only saw it at from the other side of the carpark and I was pi55ed too! Looked very nice though I must admit. :bow:

Had same problem and after cleaning Temp sender terminals up it solved it!

your problem could well be the water temp/ecu sender connector plug(one with the yellow cap) give the terminals a good clean to remove any verdigis.Hope this works for ya.

ermm oops sorry Brian :slap: 2badd@talktalk.net

Having the same problem, its been intermittent but more frequent of late...Im gonna change the fuel filter for new and hope that will sort it,Ill post with results after the weekend-fingers crossed.

mail me at 2badd@talktalk.co.uk and we can arrange for you to come over eh :)

If it helps ya...you could always come over n look under my bonnet maybe once you see all the hoses in situ you can take a pic and copy to your own??
