hello all!!

i've done a search and cannot find what im looking for...

during compliancing im guessing they have somehow disconnected the fog lights on my S2 Stag

so I wana find what they have done - have checked the fuse, is OK.

when i turn the switch on for the fog lights i can also hear the relay clicking on.

so I wana take out whole indicator/foglight thing to look behind at the wiring to see if they have cut anything or if the globes are ok....

I cant see how i can get to the wiring from behind under the bonnet....

so before I break something.... can someone please tell me how to take it out of the bar before I break something.....

:D

and heres a few pics of my first Stag!! :laugh:

haha welcome, looks nice too.

generally the compliance shops just cut the wires so you are on the right track.

I haven't take the bar off one of these, but if you get it up on a jack can you get to the lights from underneath?

to one side of the exterior cover/lense of the encluser there is a cover that pop's out (use a very small/fine flat head screwdriver) exposing a screw, unscrew it and the unit comes out :laugh:

you're stag looks fantastic :D

spot on dude!!

i noticed it was a separate piece but wanted to make sure before i broke it just incase

( i did look underneath but all the plastics are there and cant be bothered rippin em off :laugh: )

i took it off and the wires all look intact...???

so im thinking im missing a fuse?? can anyone tell by lookin at the pic?? (im thinking that blue empty one with no fuse, is that for the foggies maybe...???)

i wanted to check that there actually is power going to the globe but cant find my test light nor my multimeter.... :D

i need sleep now so it will have to wait untill tomorrow....

(and thanks for the comments fellas!! :yes: )

I haven't got my stag yet, so I'm just going on common sense here. But it looks like the cover has all the answers on it, blue one to the right is 'start' the next over to the right is 'head lamps' and everything else seems to be in place as per the pic on the cover, so going on that I'd say the one missing is definitely for the fog lamps.

Cheers, Jeff

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
