Some weeks it's just not worth getting out of bed.

Peter will be missed by so many and hopefully remembered only for the good he did.

My mate has a story of how they partied all night at Bathurst next to Brockys caravan before the race. He kept asking them to quiet down and they kept calling him Mr Brooks. Years later, my mate and business partner had "Mr Brooks" come in to buy a bicycle for a young James, told him the story and Brocky could only laugh at remembering that night.

Rest well Brocky. You helped shape so many motoring enthusiasts lives.

Very sad news, 2 weeks ago I was racing at Calder with the Maserati Car Club, Brock was there with the Daytona, who would have thought 2 weeks later he would die in the same car...

      There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).

      Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.

      Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?

      Do you know what size restrictor? Just flushed it with the Prestone flush & then water numerous times until the water ran clear, still looks rusted & will no doubt cause trouble later.
