Cheers for you help Dave, Good ol' photobucket, I'm sending them a basket of fruit 8) I was advised to make up a small circuit like this - https://image.ibb.co/kuEU0b/tachfixhm.jpg Which didn't work. So I had a good rummage around in the ECU and found that the person who added the output wire, had a...

I am not an electronics expert by any means, quite a novice in fact, so I checked the circuit many times before and after fitting. I am 100% sure that it is correct. The transistor used in the circuit is a 2N5551 - third one down on here. http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/MS2-Extra_Hardware.htm#ta...

I went to an Audi dealer to buy a 3 month old S8. They coudln't find the keys, then when they finally got them, there was only 15 miles of petrol in it. He went to find some petrol but came back without any saying that we would have to go on a short test drive. He took my licence to copy it and forg...

As an aside, the mention of EvoStick reminds me the current stuff is nothing like as good as the original. Think they changed the solvent. Is there a better alternative? New legislation means that we cannot sell contact adhesives that contain Toluene to the general public, only companies. So you ne...

I tried a few oils in mine, and eventually discovered Redline MTL, which is by far the best one IMO. I mixed it with white spirit (25% MTL to 75% White spirit) then ran the motor for a few minutes, changing through the gears (Not moving, just changing through the gears). Then drained that out and re...

I rotate the engine until no1 piston hits the TDC tool and then mark the crank pulley. I then rotate in the opposite direction until no1 piston hits the TDC tool and mark the pulle...
