  1. See "Splitfire Coils" group buy thread in Kudos Motorsports section. Not sure which model you'll need, but it won't hurt to ask. They're better than standard, and only $640 a set...
  2. That's great, Greg; thanks muchly!
  3. Does anyone know where I could get one in Brisbane, and how much they're worth? Thanks, Ian.
  4. Not sure about the oil pump, but the water pump will fit fine.
  5. Oh, whoops, looks like you've got a 32, not a 33 :Oops: I'm sure it will be a similar process either way. Good luck! Ian.
  6. Easy, just fixed the same problem myself Use a multimeter on the mirror connector pins behind the door trim to see if the motor is getting power. As per usual, ground is negative and I believe you should see power to one of the 5 wires when you try to fold the mirrors in or out. On mine (and a couple of others I've heard of too) the mirror motor itself was either burnt out or seized. The trick is to get a replacement mirror from the wreckers (mine cost $100 from Panel House in Slacks Creek) and change over the internals. Here's a step-by-step guide: What you need to do is remove your door trim, remove the 3 bolts securing your mirror and unplug the harness. The mirror itself is quite easy to dismantle. The mirror glass pops off quite easily if you prise the bottom off. After that, remove the grey foam from the part where the mirror sits on the door and remove all 3 screws there. Undo all the screws on the underside of the mirror and the 3 screws underneath the mirror glass which holds the internals in place. There are a couple of other small screws in the mirror's hinge which you need to take out as well. Once you are *positively* sure you have removed all visible screws, wedge a few fingers in behind the top of the mirror motor and wrench it forward. You really need to use quite a fair bit of force to do this, but it'll eventually pop out. Once you've done this, you'll need to snip the wiring harness near the plug since the plug will not fit through the sailplane panel. Do the same with your replacement motor and dump the old motor in the trash. Feed the harness of your new motor through the mirror shell, the metal sailplane bracket and the plastic sailplane piece (you'll see what I mean when you actually do it). Re-solder the harness to your old plug. Everything should now screw together pretty easily, and you'll have folding mirrors once again! Hope this helps! Ian.
