Interesting deposits Dave...did you drain the fuel rail and injectors before you cling wrapped them?

Probably is sugar...

well obviously not :P 4 months it took to get like that...maybe condensation was building up inside cling wrap...not sure... need to do some testing...I have 10lt od e85 here maybe i should put it in random things and let it sit....see what corrodes ;)

Ah well of course it's gonna leave some shit in there then...would dissolve the moment you run more ethanol through it. Though on first start it may make the ethanol a bit crap. That is one reason we say to leave petrol in there to "pickle" the system if you're leaving your car dormant for extended periods of time. But I don't imagine that sugar shit causing any harm anyway.

Quick recommendation on new headlight globes since mine blew last night.

Thinking either OSRAM or Philips Xtreme-vision, but open to suggestions...

I've used Philips and Narva?, much of a muchness i think

Im not too shabby a solderer but circuit boards are so much easier than free hand. Struggletown even doing RS232 with jaycar kits. Smell of cooking skin is stronger than solder

Come solder my lights

I put the xtreme vision in the missus Mazda3.

tested it with a lux meter I downloaded on the phone and saw about a 40% higher lux reading in the same exnvironment.

very noticeable difference when driving in the country as well.

BUT I've run the same in the ute and they do blow more often,

as the saying goes, those the burn twice as bright burn half as long.

Narva plus 120 or Intense if you like white/blue light

But I'm not biased or anything...

Can supply soldering iron and lead-free solder.

cant say id do a very clean/tidy/good job, but will work.

If your bored on the weekend come around!

Otherwise was going to buy a solder on the weekend and fix my front indicator light, as the wiring as torn off

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
