Hi Guys hoping someone out there can give me a answer or a clue.

I have found on startup my windscreen wiper switch and the switch to unfold the mirrors don't work.

However after a few minutes or so of the engine running they magically start to work.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks for any help.

Are you located where the outside temps reach below freezing?

No I am is Sydney, so its not so extreme. It happens in cold and hot weather. I have even swapped out the Mirror switch for a different unit. It had no effect, the problem remains.

I don't know. Check relays, ignition connection, and wiring. Honestly I despise electrical problems. When it gets extremely cold here, the electrical connections begin to fail till the interior is warmed up. Something to do with that white pasty stuff they use on electrical connections freezing up and not making contact correctly. Thought that might be your situation.

      Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?

      Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example.

      I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary

      How To Fix Tacho, R33 (maybe)

      By stewart1 · Posted

      Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
