Re: Failed boot electrics
Pretty sure searching here gave me the info I needed to tackle it myself. Here: https://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=116597&p=752790&hilit=Boot+lid#p752790 Thanks for digging that out. Searching 'boot electrics' didn't present that thread strangely. I don't get any malfunction indications o...

Failed boot electrics
A couple of years ago, the electrics to the boot lid failed - brake lights don't operate, central locking does not release the lock, and the bulb in the boot does not light. I had a repair of unknown specification done at CamSpec, which worked for some time but the issue has now returned. I'd love t...

Re: Anyone need replacement intake flap actuator linkage parts?
Well, i appreciate you guys digging this one up. The arms are actually complete and sitting on our computer. my EPC light hasn't returned and other projects came in and they got parked, but the next step would be to get them fabricated and verify they're the correct fitment to get them signed off fo...

Re: Boot Lid Electronics Fail (no lights or central locking)
If it's just the boot I'd check the cable that goes from the body through the tubing and into the bootlid. I had a similar thing with my drivers door, the main power to the control box had broken after being opened and closed so many times. Was a pretty simple fix, just added a new 5cm bit of wire ...

Boot Lid Electronics Fail (no lights or central locking)
Hi all, Had a strange problem recently in which the boot lid electronics have failed which means no night lights, rear fog lights, number plate lights, central locking or boot interior light and the associated warnings. My first reaction is fuse but i've not managed to confirm that yet and judging b...

Re: Hesitation when engine cold - any ideas?
It affects fuelling based on engine temperature. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's interesting i didn't know that.. Seems to read ok on the dial but it would be good to confirm with a digital read-out.. Problem is, with no error codes and without putting a thermocouple on the coolant circui...

Re: Anyone need replacement intake flap actuator linkage parts?
Is this the same part that 034 motorsport sell? 1/2 of the kit would be yeah.. The issue with theirs is that it still has to match the stock plastic collar on the shaft, if the collar is worn and you only put a new linkage on, you'll still get play in the system which defeats the object. You also t...

Re: Hesitation when engine cold - any ideas?
I have the same problem too.. I am thinking it could be worth getting the injectors cleaned, or looking at cleaning/replacing the MAF sensor.. Like you, there are no related codes logged.. Approaching it logically,the nature of the problem suggests to me it's a combustion issue which would draw my ...

Anyone need replacement intake flap actuator linkage parts?
I suspect mine has failed or is on it's way so i'm gonna design up some replacement collar & linkage parts to be machined from aluminium. The problem seems to be that the stock plastic parts wear with time and some play develops in the system which the actuator doesn't like. To be clear it'll be bot...
