Nice [:|] [][]

bit of a change there mate, an ML to a fiesta LOL

cheers Graeme, will look out for it Anyone fancy going out to watch and making a day of it? maybe taking in a few stages?

http://www.iomonline.co.im/ViewArticle2.as...ticleID=2144283 Looks like it will be a good one. Does anyone know where to find a listing of where all the stages take place or do we have to wait for the local press to print them?

Morning dudes [] I have a severe case of the Monday blues this morning, made worse by the fact this is my first day back at work after 2 weeks off [:'(] On the flip side, spent yesterday morning fitting an STi top mount and some new drop links I got from Dave K. [] Here is to a quick week Maybe see some of you Saturday up at Jurby.

liking the celica Daz, my mate back home used to have a white one, ther are pretty quick think I have seen your Mrs' car dotting around, will keep my eyes peeled for you both [Y]

Cracking pics Richard Thought I would throw some of mine up too

Hope its not too expensive a repair mate [] Wish I had known you had to take the car in, I am off work this week and would have run it in for ya to save you from takin a day off for it

vendredi heureux dudes [H] nearing the end of my time off work, go back on Tuesday [:'(] On the bright side, I have the new exhaust on the car and it's just a little bit loud [] really pleased with it though, it totally looks and sounds the part. also, am now hooked up with t'interweb at home so can keep up to speed with things from here Anyway have a great weekend folks, speak to you all next week [Y]

we have V Power mate and lots of it [Y] it might be the isle of man but we aint in the dark ages over here []

Weather forecast for the weekend Hopefully gettin the new exhaust fitted tomorrow morning but can meet up with peeps for a bit of spectating afterwards, should be able to make 1pm [Y] John I touch goats [Y][]

good plan if we have a look at the forecast for saturday tomorrow and decide from there

Thanks everyone Yeah it is, I know a few people with their Birthday on the 6th

you have to be a paid up member mate [H]

If I am marshalling I will be somewhere on the Cronk Stage which I believe is stages 8 & 10 will check here to see where everyone else is gonna be if I am not marshalling If anyone is still interested in a drive on Sunday give me a shout on 484584 I will be out an' about anyway

Happy Birthday Helen [^] It was my birthday yesterday

Was really looking forward to this Sunday but I am happy to go with general consensus on this one. S'pose we could still do it with just a few of us but would obviously be better to have more of us there. Have been asked to marshal one of the stages on Saturday but have some bits to do and my Dad arrives Saturday so unsure if I will marshal yet.

Happy mid-week Dudes Back from Dublin in one piece, just. Was on the 02:15 boat from Heysham Tuesday morning and blimey it was bumpy. My new exhaust has arrived and hoping to have it on for Sundays gathering of the clans, gutted some of you cant make it. Have a good day [H]

sorry most of you cant make it, was looking forward to meeting those I have not yet is it worth looking at postponing this meet until perhaps the end of the month? or just have another one later in the month [] Oh and have a great day Nix [^] []

BTTT Anyone else? Not long til the 11th

it will be on the front side of the drivers side suspension turret, has 3 pipes going to it (see blue circle in pic)

I had a similar problem which turned out to be a faulty MAF try cleaning it first with some carb cleaner to see if it is that before you go spending money on a new one what year is your car? is it a classic? if so, have you tried running a diagnostic? and checked for fault codes? I also took off the boost solenoid and cleaned with carb cleaner and re-fitted, dont forget to clean the asociated pipework connected to it as well ================================ ECU Diagnostics : The ECU can diagnose any fault that may arise due to abnormal signals that are sent to the controller. The ECU Check Engine Light (CEL) will illuminate in the instrument console if there is a problem with any of the computers inputs. It is possible to find which sensor is faulty by following these steps:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> · Turn ignition OFF. · Connect read memory connectors. These are the small black connectors under the steering column above the pedals. · Turn ignition key to the ON position (Engine OFF) · Engine Check Light turns on · Code is indicated by Pulsing light - See below · If Code is OK Turn ignition OFF disconnect the black connectors · If CEL returns a number of different pulsing lights then check the ECU code table. · Turn ignition to the OFF position. Disconnect the black connectors. · If there is a fault, then check the appropriate sensor. The ECU codes are displayed as pulses of the CEL. If CEL goes out there is no fault. In Diagnostic Mode – No Fault is indicated by the CEL continuously & evenly flashing on/off (this is also used to indicate the successful completion of an ECU Reset) SEE "OK code" in diagram below. The long pulses (1.3 Seconds) indicate Tens and the short pulses (0.2 Seconds) indicate ones. Pulses are separated by Short Pauses (0.2 Seconds), multiple codes are separated by a Long Pause (1.8 Seconds) SEE "Trouble codes" below. The simplest way for an inexperienced mechanic to retrieve codes is to write the codes down in a sort of Morse Code (dots and dashes), and start a new line when you get a 1.8 Second pause (for NEW code), and then add the actual numbers up after code retrieval is completed. Code ITEM 11 Crankshaft position sensor 12 Starter switch 13 Camshaft position sensor 21 Engine coolant temperature sensor 22 Knock sensor 23 Mass air flow sensor 24 Idle air control solenoid 31 Throttle position sensor 32 Oxygen sensor 33 Vehicle speed sensor 2 35 Purge control solenoid valve 42 Idle switch 44 Wastegate control solenoid valve 45 Pressure sensor – Pressure exchange solenoid valve 51 Neutral position switch once this is done you can reset the ecu if you want by connecting black and green conectos together turn the key to on position then press accelerator to the floor then halfway up for 2 seconds then start car then travel at a speed of over 5 MPh untill the ok code flashes "DO NOT RAGG THE CAR WHILST RESETTING ECU"
