Eightpint

Hi, I have also recently changed the oil and filter and gasket on this car with no issues, I also brought the long dipstick for this car, But can you tell me where the oil is supposed to be on the dipstick, On one side of the dipstick is has two sections noting the temp , one for 25 temp and the other for 80 temp, on the other side increments upto 11. So I checked my oil with engine on idle and not warmed up, so the oil fell in the range of the 25 degrees markers with seems right to me, so assume when engine is hot it would fall into the 80 degree markers.. Just found the instructions that came with the dipstick and that says to use the increments as a guide, Basically I'm asking which side of the stick did you use as a guide Cheers

Hi Recently brought a new startech grille, haven't fitted it yet as I can't seem to find a new grille badge for it as they are a different size from the standard grille/badge... Anybody got any ideas where I can purchase a new badge Cheers Windy

Some great ideas on here, you with the spray and another with shoe polish, I ain't good with a rattle can though...

Hi, I got the vinyl off Ebay, mentioned earlier on in this thread.

Just an update, the bit of wrapping I did 2+ years ago still looks like new even after multiple washing.. best £20 I spent

Well, I bottled out of any more soldering as its costed me two boards already. I thought about sending my controls upto the 300c custom shop who do a refurb for a decent price. But I came across a brand new heater control unit on an auction site which was cheaper than a second hand unit! Issue I had with it, it was from China and it was cheaper than a 2nd hand unit. In the end I chanced it and it arrived and I fitted it to the car and now all the lights work and the air direction goes to the area of the car I want it to......happy days

All, I have an issue that when I enter/leave the car from the drivers door the courtesy light is not activated, doesnt come on from the overhead console or door itself. It's not the bulbs as the lights work when unlocking the car... I have swapped the door module but that made no difference.... Any ideas please

Hi, your car is not Bright Silver Metallic WS2/PS2 as that's my colour and its alot brighter than yours, If it's not the Silver Steel DA4/PA4 then I would suggest the Steel Blue Metallic DBM/PBM, as from pictures it looks grey, Best bet is to take your car or petrol flap (if car not on road) to a car paint specialist/supplier who will match the colour and give you the exact colour you need, that's what I did

Haven't got round to it yet, but it's on my to do list in the next couple of weeks.

Your recirculation button will flash 3 times then go off, it will not work on 2 positions on the air directional dial, that's the screen defrosting and screen/floor direction, this is to stop misting up your screen from the inside of the car.

I thought my soldering was neat, but somewhere on that board I messed up, so off to scrappy to buy another, I will let u know how it goes.

Hi, My original heater panel worked as it should but had failed lights, so I brought a replacement set of bulbs and attempted my first soldering session, thought I did ok but when fitted it I lost all lights to heater panel plus others!! Went to my local chrysler scrappy and brought a s/hand unit, again one bulb had failed, so I replaced the failed bulb and now all the back lights work, but my heating has gone haywire!!! So as you say I probably fried the board, I was hoping it might be something else, Hopefully third time lucky,

Hi, Recently my heater temp dial has gone haywire, in otherwords if I turn the dial to the warmest I get cold air,if I turn the dial down to the coldest position I'm getting warm air, Also the dial you use to direct air to certain areas like the windscreen, face or the floor etc has gone haywire, to get air to windscreen I now have to turn dial on to the floor!! All this has happened since I replaced the back lights on the heater control panel, I have reopened the heater control panel again and you can't fit the circuit board in backwards, all I can think of is when soldering the new bulbs on the circuit board in the heater control panel somehow I've done some other damage... If anyone knows of another reason why this is happening please type

Sorted, I checked the circuit board inside the heater control panel and it was damaged, sourced a second hand unit and hey presto all the lights gave come back on,

Hi, The other day all the interior back lights failed to the analogue clock, the heater control panel and to the gearbox selector, they were all working the day before so assuming a fuse or module has failed, does anyone know where I should be looking as I can't seem to find the appropriate fuse that relates to these items, cheers Windy.
