^ Agreed

Its definitely not a connection anywhere other than one, when u disconnect it then reconnect it with the head deck on, u can hear the speakers kick in

strange fault...

Not taking the piss.. spent about 2 hours playing with connections and crap the other night.. still wont go for me.. oh well. back to the car it is for me then

I installed my head unit and sub + amp recently, and after a couple of weeks of everything working fine and as it should, the front and rear speakers randomly stopped going, but the sub remained going. So i turned the car off and on, and only the sub went. I removed the head unit, so i could access the wiring harnesses. I removed the speakers connector and then put it back in while the head unit was off. Turned it back on, and only the sub went. I then turned it off again, and back on, then removed the speakers connector, and put it back in, the speakers now worked. Turned the head unit off and on again, and then only the sub was working again. No fuses are blown, and the connectors all seem to be fine. Checked that theres power at the connector going to the speakers, seems to be, so for some reason the speakers just wont go unless theres a forced load...

any ideas?

then again. could just be their signal for a connector

the four little thingys are almost like defogger grid symbols but not quite. my guess would be a fuse or defogger.

dunno y u would need 4 fuses for a single gauge..?

fluid was getting a little low..

i got a brake problem now..

they WERE fine, the other day, so i put some more fluid in the master and a wee bleed, now the pedal is stiff as all fuck and u gotta give it a bit of effort to get any braking power at all..

ideaS?

Ok, went for a wee drive last night, after bleeding the clutch yet again, while i was bleeding it, had a few pumps after i did so, then it seemed ok.. drove down the road a little bit, and noticed the brake pedal was stiff as all fuck, and i could smell the fluid (whether it had been brake or clutch i dont know) and the clutch went slack again within probably 850m of my house, only stopped about 3 times. Drove home. Took the mother's car

pics bro?

yeah hoping for some improvement. used to having the seat as far back as it ca go to get eough leg room to get into the car with that big wheel..

new ones midget compared to it.

Needa get me wheels aligned, front left tyres worn to almost bald on the outside edge, so i threw the standys back on to avoid having to buy new tires just at the mo

yo bro you need a horn button still?

i think ive got a few here ae..

what part of this slice of dirt are you in?

Yes i do! Im in West Ak, But I'll pay shipping if needed? Whata ya got?

Nice day today, wake up and see my steering wheel has arrived from Trade Me guy, he said in the auction it had an unknown boss kit maybe from a BG Mazda, so i tried it on my spline anyway, it fits

A much better size than the old bus sized steering wheel I'm used to

Just added a few washers to the bottom, so the spline was deep enough for the nut to tighten on top

And fitted nicely Just need one of those horn button thingys, anyone have one, dont care what it as long as u cant see inside.

Bit tatty, but not complaining for $12 incl the boss kit, just had to get washers, for $1.00

didn't end there Also got the new gaskets etc, and put the motor back together

Nice and shiny

Thy new gasket ^ Had that lying round for a while

Got told I can get a rebuild kit for the master for $25, and a new slave for $40, or slave kit for $10.

I'll inspect and locate the problem before I do either of those.. Good day overall

Yee sweet, I'll give that a go soon, and see what i get

clean everything clutch related - all the lines and surrounding areas

report back with findings a couple days later

As in remove them and clean in and outside?or just clean all parts where a leak would be evident should one come into fruition?

Your cupholders are very erotic.

yeah, i decided to leave them out for now, unless i get a holesaw to tidy up the holes

still work. just ugly as all fuck

Yeah u can see everything.

Might just all new clutch system lol. Pref. not tho obviously

New clutch

Mine was very nice too Till it fucks out every week or so.. The fluid does disappear.. It goes somewhere, cause theres often only a little bit left in the master.. but im yet to find where it goes.... doesnt leak from the master, hose or slave i know that much..

Yeah, pulled all the carpets out, no wetness, aside from where i spilled water but its miles from the pedal. No fluid on the outside of the cylinder near the flange, underside, or no evidence of it dribbling down the firewall, no fluid around the pedal box, or down the pedal. No fluid evident leaking from the slave (its not inside the bellhousing so id see fluid everywhere if it was leaking outa there). None on the floor or down the side of the bellhousing or even non leaking out of the front of it.

Cannot find a fluid leak ANYWHERE. Hence the issues lol

its only easy at times, (usually when it is, i check the master, and shes bone dry)

Seems like it'd bea leaking, or bypassing somewhere, cause after a bleed its fine...

if it were the clutch itd just slip or sumthn? its fine when the pedals sweet, but when it is slack then u can barely shift cos u cant engage it nicely. i'll give that one a go tomorrow after the old manifolds make their way back on

Is that just gonna tell me if slave is ok? or could it be the master aswell?

hey guys

Recently had a problematic clutch.. It'll be fine, then after a couple days of use, it becomes more and more easy to press down, and got to a stage where as soon as i took my foot fully off the floor, then i was moving

After a good bleed, it goes back to how it should be again. But I've had to bleed it three times in a matter of 2 weeks.

There's no obvious leaks in the clutch line, or around the slave, it's all dry and clean, no fluid on the pedal or dripping out the master anywhere, the only thing i can think, is that a seal has gone in the master\slave and the fluid is bypassing a seal and getting lost in the system?

Anyone had these sorta problems before\is there anything I can check to maybe narrow the possibilities down?

Bubblegoose's washing powder idea sort of worked, but probably would have needed another few attempts to get it sparkly, which I couldn't be fucked with, so fresh lick of paint it is

Shiny now

Got 3 of the 4 studs sorted. 1 of them, somebody has tried to drill it out before and fucked my whole process.. gonna have to go mental on it tomorrow, get me new gaskets and bolts for the flange, then back they go, onto the motor

Took off the manifolds today (and a bit more stuffs), to attempt to repair the exhaust leak coming from between the exhaust and inlet manifolds

Gasket semi fucked (like this is many parts)

Here's where the leak was coming from..

made a mess of me inlet manifold

Oh no!! Broke the studs coming out of the exhaust manifold. Oh well.. have to redo those then

Now gonna attempt bubblegoose's trick of cleaning manifolds See how that goes in the morning, and also, put thermostat back in

Yeah, is this 1500?

1600 8v turbo. 140hp spec

From stock?

Yeah, is this 1500?
