First real task done myself... cleaned the map sensor! Not been able to test the difference yet as wifes not back yet and wee man is asleep!

Haha missed me?? Ok so literally just the electrical connector, don't need to take the unit out?

I might just be getting used to the car and the gearbox but I'm convinced it's under powered I am proud of myself, went out and cleaned the MAP sensor which was oily as anything inside (followed a tutorial on here) Now to the maf sensor... is the "sensor" the whole unit? Before I take it out...

I'm thinking like the front wheel arch bits and the door handles Faded badly and back to black didn't work Has anyone painted them before and if so, can you tell me using what? Thank you

Thank you sir

Mine has the 2 buttons missing so bought a replacement one from Ebay Do i just prise the old one apart, lift the board out, slot that into the new casing and away I go? It surely wont unsync anything? Does the blade just pull out as per a YouTube video I seen? Or do I need to do anything...

Well sierra and all... Update is... Been with a respected auto electrician for the last 4 weeks... To cut a long story short, he tested 19? Of the wires that go into the idm and apparently 7 of them weren't carrying a load He cut into them and found they were corroded Wired up new wires...

Its not that your advice isnt heeded, its just that it is all new to me so takes time to sink in! I know absolutely hee haw about cars in general so absolutely need all the help I can get Thankfully, I am getting that help and the upshot surely is that this disco I now own is getting the love...

Oh yes you can! Jurassic park! I'm not wet behind the ears, I'm a forums regular and I know the different characters on here For someone to say "you expect everything on a plate", well yeah, as I have said several times my brain isnt wired properly (much like my idm) for things like this so I...

Because he is a nice, genuine guy, he knows he will get all of my business from here on and most importantly my banter in person is top notch He should be paying ME

Despite numerous attempts by another poster to de-rail the thread, sierrafery is thankfully still helping me and we have worked out that the problem is with the standard feed to the idm So, it's a case of checking the wiring there If this is the problem with the indicators then it will have...

Haha I'm just the translator here yeah And actually the auto electrician is brilliant, he had it for 6 hours today and didn't charge a penny because he didn't fix it He was happy with me taking pics of his reader ti get advice from you fine gentlemen

Ok so if there is a communication issue between the bcu and idm which is most likely at fault? I just went out to check the blue light with main beam Again, that only comes on the dash when I put on the wipers! The blue light comes on and briefly goes off then back on right away I also...

You've got a strange manner about you mate, not quite worked you out yet I know absolutely nothing and rely on help here to relay (lol) thr info back to the auto electrician So yes, I suppose I do need spoonfed this stuff because it's not second nature to me but then, what's the problem with...

So sorry are you saying it sounds like the idm isnt actually getting any power?

Fantastic post On that note, where are the earth points that would relate to the interior fuse box, ergo indicators and windows? These pics tell you anything? Idm voltage showing 0 not weird? 2 screen readings and last one anything look off there?

I am convinced we will crack it I've thought from the word go it's a wiring issue as opposed to component, so if I can get the wiring diagrams I'll hold it up to the auto electricians face and demand he fixes it Haha おやすみなさい

Ok thank you, don't dream about my indicators now! おやすみなさい

Ok, I understand Is it just a fluke that the rear windows work too only when the wipers are on also? I also understand you probably want to punch me the amount of questions I have asked! Haha But I thank you sincerely, I will pass this info onto the auto electrician, keep your fingers...

I am concentrating I promise as I want this fixed and you have no idea how greatful I am to you fir your persistence with me! My problem I think is... "...so if the indicators dont work on intermittent it means that the BCU is bypassed somehow and if the indicators work with fast wipe too both...
