ok i'm back.
in answer to the questions battery related.
i have a power FC and the first time the car didnt start, i opened up the batt voltage monitor, it was on 1.something
when it did start up it shot up its usual 13-14
car usually sits from sunday night to friday night and sometimes 2 weeks (by then i'm having serious withdrawrals)never had a problem before. a mate was checking something out and showing his friend my gauges on monday and might have (i say might cause it could have been me the night before, but i dont think so) left the cabin light on from around midday till i got home and noticed it after 6pm. i dont think this could have drained the battery too much as i started her up at 6 that day to check if it cause a problem and all was sweet.
Dino:
I blew the link as i have before, cause i have a pivot TT in the ashtray and the wires are coming out a hole in the back but you cant actually unplug it so it makes t impossible to remove the ashtray, and if you pull it a cetain length out the power surges and the ignition fuse blows, its a long story but i was actually trying to destroy the ashtray so i could replace it with one i was going to pick up today from justjap and make a hole in the back of that one so the TT could be removed/replaced with velcro, if i want to take the console apat as i did want to the other day to fit the leather boots that jay95 had supplied me with a few months ago.
I just completed an oil change with the mobil 10-30 which the dude at the garage down the road told me is perfect for the car. he works with a lot of turbo cars so he has a bit more experience than guys at most service stations (place in willoughby with all the rx7s there all the time).
the ticking noise is definately coming from under the rocker cover and only while the engine is running, relative to engine revs, eg. pulling the throttle open makes it rev higher and tick faster.
darron from justjap said it dosnt sound like it would be the lifters and i really hope its not as they are a couple of thou to replace.
wow my wrists hurts from typing hope i made myself clear this time.
