some issues and some interesting things i have found..

Post by homerjh »

righty, cars going in for some rattle investigation soon and i have the problem where the tacho resets every night.

1 - after a long drive i had 100 miles left and the fuel needle was just above the red mark. started the next morning and 0 miles and the needle didnt move, anyone else notice this? i cant see how it can be that wildly inaccurate (and before you say, the car didn't move and i have had this a few times after long drives where the tank is getting lower)

2 - the loud pedal has a step in it, so foot flat stops then if you push a bit more it then goes down further. found that when using speed limiter it wont go above the set speed, but when you do the second step right to the floor it bypasses the speed set. is there any other reason for the 2 step pedal?

3 - when the clutch is down you cant go above 2.5k rpm when stationary (bored in a motorway queue :hyst )

thats all for now :-bd
