Ok ive searched here and there over the past few months, havnt found a solution and need help if there is any.

Its been about 2 or 3 months now my air con stopped working (randomly worked twice for a few minutes in the past 2 months when i put it on). Not only that but when i put my "reds" on a clicking noise sounds from behind the climate control unit under the dash which clicks around 12 times.

Fed up on friday arvo, i pulled out the climate control thinking it was making the noise and responsible for the lack of "cold air". It wasnt the unit. So i pulled out the glove box and the noise came from behind where the climate control unit sits. I thought "fark pulling out the dash" and didnt.

I took out the air con fuse from the engine bay and the noise is still there, the fuse is also fine. I disconnected the climate control and the noise was gone... WTF!!! Just to clarify the heater and normal air (18) work fine its the air con im talking about.

Other problem is my hand brake light stays on in the mornings when its cold but in the after noon im pretty sure it never stays on...

Other problem is when you press that buttom that makes the side mirrors retract in the left side works fine but the drivers side mirror doesnt retract. If i physically retract it myself, it will go "out" to normal position when i press the button.

Thanks in advanced i hope these problems have unfortunately been experienced by someone else.

Air con clicking is a small plastic cog/s that are stripped and slipping. Do a search and there are even pics, but pulling the dash to bits is something I put in the 'fark that' basket for now as my compressor has shat itself anyway. Good luck with that

handbrake light is the brake fluid is low, cold in the morning means fluid shrinks compared to afternoon it expands ect ect, i had the same thing with my hi-cas light

Could also be the switch at under the lever. They are a real cheap shitty item and mine used to stick until I sorted it out.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
