Hi subscribed on 12th Jan, can't pm you with my details yet could you check cheers

cheers Graham, I need to source various bits so subscribing seems the sensible way to go

after being a registered member for a while I've finally subscribed cheers

Hi I think the Cruise ECU should be in there, it is on my 92 Jap Auto TT. My HICAS ECU is under the dash on the drivers side - off side

Hi I took my import to KwikF here in Bristol, the connection required an adaptor which they actually did have so they could connect up. The issue with mine was that although their guages showed no leaks, guages are not sensitive enough to show anything other than a major leak, my aircon condenser/rad did have a leak as shown to me by the guy who eventually fixed it (Mr Cool), by the simple expedient of looking at the rad, seeing staining in one corner suggestive of a leak then spraying leak tester on it to prove it and seeing the bubbles. I don't think that particular guy at KwikF was really capable of any diagnostics. Cheers

coluld be the sender unit a similar thing happened to me. a new sender fixed it. pressure does obviously vary according to oil temp and revs tho cheers

Hi, just checked, my horn works too! thanks for the suggestion tho.

Hi I've got the same problem on my 92 jap auto. I've had the brake and dash switches and all the wiring checked out they were apparently all working ok. Plus there was a signal being delivered from the speedo. I also tried a replacement cruise actuator the motor runs and the vacuum tub holds vacuum when it is supplied separately and this moves the throttle cable. The motor assembly has o-ring seals which could well be dodgy it might just not be vacuum tight. The diagnostics on the cruise ECU check out ok apart from one reading at 10 v instead of 12v which my local friendly electrician is not sure how big a deal this is. Inside the cruise actuator motor assembly there are 1 or 2 solenoids which I think dictate whether vacuum is supplied or not or where its directed. So the next thing is to check these solenoids out and see if they are working, and/or to find a replacement cruise ECU. Be careful because there are at least 2 types of ECU with different pin configurations. It's turning into a saga........

whether the motor in the cruise control actuator should run all the time the cruise control is switched on, or whether it only starts up when a certain speed is reached. Still trying to figure out whats stopping my cc working, the ECU has passed the diagostics, the actuator motor works, maybe the motor unit isn't holding a vacuum or the internal solenoid is u/s. When a vacuum is independently applied to the vacuum part this works and moves the cable so this bit doesn't seem to be at fault. cheers

thanks for the feedback. they sound ok over the phone! I'll see how I get on cheers

just wondered if anyone had got any bits from them and what their service was like, e.g. if you need to send bits back etc cheers

Hi the cruise actuator on my late 92 TT jap auto has died. the actuator motor runs but doesn't produce any vacuum. The cruise ECU checks out ok on the diagnostics. Does anyone have a working actuator for sale? I've seen 2 different part numbers on oem-surplus.com, mine is 18910 40P00. Does anyone know how many different types there are? Also does anyone know if they are fixable, is there a diaphagm inside? cheers

any chance of sending a photo so I can check its the one. already bought one wrong-un. or I'm in bristol too so could come over Cheers

any chance of a cruise control ECU? and as I'm in bristol I could collect mines a Jap Nov 1992 TT auto

Can you remember where you got it from?

Hi myaircon has recently died and a test showed the condenser (radiator) is leaking from the core. Bubbles can be seen when detergent is used to leak test it. Nissan have quoted £340+VAT for a new one and I can't find anyone who does a pattern part. Can anyone help with a cheaper alternative?? cheers

I got 30 mpg out of my lwb tt doing a constant 75 mph on the m'way for 200 miles just to see what it could do. boring as hell tho'.

wholla....or ker..boom?

Hi Andy sounds fine. send me your address plus the total amount you need to pete_cittern@hotmail.com and I'll put a cheque in the post. cheers

what flavour?

I'm pretty sure he didn't check inside the unit. He is using the logic that everything else he could check worked. How much do you want for yours? cheers

Hi Andy It's auto. I've already tried the pulling the brake pedal towards me thing... no luck there. I've had a well respected auto electrician look at it who pronounced the brake switch (and all the other bits he could test) as working, so he thinks the ecu is most probable cause. If I can get a cheap one to swap out then I will cheers

Hi my cruise control is u/s and I've been advised it's probably the cruise control's own ecu which sits under the dash on the drivers side. Anyone breaking a jap spec 92 TT have one going cheap?? cheers

Hi - I need to tart up my radio surround as well so was interested to see yours, looks good. Question: where did you get the lower cover/flap from ? I need to chuck out the original Nissan Tv and replace the radio cassette with a decent unit so I will have a hole to fill. Cheers

Hi my Jap import had the speedo and odometer recalibrated to mph and the cruise control was disconnected at the same time apparently. Does anyone know how easy it is to get the CC working again once the recalibration has been done and has anyone in the SW done this before/can anyone recommend someone who can fix this for me ? cheers
