I pulled over asap opened the hood egen sounded fine ( i did notice the power stering bottel was bubbling away ) i shutt it off wated a few minutes went to star her againe it toke a long time to start and there appered to be the sound of the starter mortor tunung and not gripping the belt she did start up affter awhile the light cam back on but appaerd to drive and run fine. Concultions

somthing in the starter mortor went eg a baring thus tripping the light

i have the moste comon of m35 probs a leeking rocker cover and oil got in to the coil

somthing elctrical

your thoughts

Welcome.

This should be in the stagea section.

No way did the light come in from the starter motor. There is no belt involved.

The boiling ps fluid is crazy.

my guess is you cooked the engine, what wff the temp gauge saying?

Good call Adam, and if you plan to drive it hard you may want to stick a PS cooler on also, there have been many pumps fail from overheating on track days. It only needs to be a small cooler...

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
