OK so my saggy 1998 HSE headlining finally got so much on my nerves that I bit the bullet! I have recently recovered my MGTF hard top lining with lovely cream suede, and as it was so easy I decided to do the same on my Rangie.. Everything went surprisingly well, and after cans of high temp...

Well after deliberately not using the car for a week i popped the switch, unlocked him, turned the key and....... Powerful start first time! Yayy

All done. I switched the orange wire as planned. Running the wires up to the the top hatch edge was a right pain in the ass though! Channels were full of expanded foam - I guess from factory - so i had to be creative. In the end got it through to the number plate light 'handle', and put the...

I found that the second fob fix uses the orange so I think I'll use that - guess it's the power wire? Thanks for letting me know it doesn't really mater though... at least I can't kill the thing!

Well I went away on holiday and the dreaded wireless receiver issue killed my brand new Yuasa battery so badly it wont charge (so back off to Halfrauds for a replacement as it really shoudlnt do that!). Luckily the fob hasn't lost sync this time and I got him started using my MG as a jumper...

Did you get it sorted?

Braved it and washed the old guy with some nice wash'n'wax, and even cleaned all the interior glass, plus washed dash down! Looks like a new car inside now... I however look like a drowned rat!

Lol... And.... It's rained!

Cool Mozz. Will have a look over the weekend as allegedly the sun is going to be out!

I used a long bendy extension to get to it......

Haha - up until the last 'good start' I would have been tempted to stop it dying!

Good news on the battery! That's the one I would have loved to fit! On the o-rings.... the alloy of the pipes gets all pitted then doesn't seal well. When I did mine for the second time a few years ago I used some instant gasket (the non-setting type - was grey) on the pipe ends before i...

Well I went to use him last night and he started AGAIN first turn of the key! That's pretty much never happened in the 10 years I've had him (or the 5 years my Dad had him before that!). I really am beginning to think my house phones were causing the RF receiver to kick in and drain him...

Well I went to use him last night and..... drum roll.... first turn of the key he started AGAIN! That's pretty much never happened in the 10 years I've had him (or the 5 years my Dad had him before that!). Will check out that Rf Receiver work around page thanks!

Well... it's only 2 days old! BUt the old battery woudl be unable to start him after a day (although it was on it's way out.). Even when just charged it didn't have much oomph ... the new one spins the starter quicker than it's ever spun and starts on first turn. I wanted to fit the larger...

I just bought this Yuasa one from Halfords: HERE 10% Discount Code: B15MT12 £94.49 Total

Massive thanks to Moz - true genius! Rangie (nikname Michael - don't blame me my Mum named him!) is running nicely again.... he certainly turns over much better with the new battery and cleaned contacts - I was going to treat him to new battery terminals but in the light of what happened today...

Hi All. I know there's been loads of discussion on this but I have looked around and tried every method I can find.... here's the story... Battery costantly goign dead for last few years - keep charging and it's OK then dies... eventually batery gave up completely (nbot a surprise!). So I...

Brill thanks so much for checking - so now just need to find a decent (or new of not too much!) IAC and I'm away! I am assuming mine is knackered as it flies out if its left connected and the ignition is switched off with it unbolted!

This is the one I am looking at - looks like its got everything - if i need to swap the linkage over i reckon that's fairly simple? So the throttle diameter is the same and everything? Been searching for the part number on Google for some info but there's bugger all info out there that I...
