Hi LostKiwi, Long time no see, I have three cars and the MK4 Supra has been taking up most of my time, had an engine, ECU, clutch and gearbox,etc, rebuild, now running 450BHP at the back wheels. The Merc has been a work horse and at 270K from new is still running very well, my current concern is...
Hi Everyone, I have a Merc.E-300 TD. 7 seat est Car, owned it from new in 1997, it has now covered 270,000 miles, runs perfectly engine sounds very good, been well maintained. Is it true that the timing chains can cover 300,000 miles ? I find this hard to believe, but the situation of listening...
Hi Everybody, I have recently started to get the ASR / BAS warning lights coming on, i follow the procedure for clearing all faults by switching on the ignition and then going through all the gear settings, this clears the problem. Does anyone know what can cause this problem? as everything...
Hi Doug, I know where the throttle sensor is as i just took a pic of it to order the replacement, my thread is asking about the accelerator pedal and if anyone knows how the whole system operates.
I see you have the exact model i have and wondered have you experienced any probs of this nature...
Hi Guys, Can anyone explain how the accelerator/throttle system works? I am asking this as i have developed an issue with a little surging/jerking on low speed take offs. I have a throttle position sensor on order but i am not sure if this is the offending component, in that i have been asked if...
Hi Guys, It appears that my problem is the throttle position sensor, it is what i call a rheostat or a potetiometer. They are circa £165 new and there a few about circa £30 to £70 used with 3 months guarantee. Herbie.
HI Guys, I am now approaching 270,000 miles now on my bus and the accelerator has just started to sort of pause a bit on a gentle take off from a standing start, it sort of hesitates and then off it goes, this only occurs on gentle starts, not if i just put my foot down, i cannot see any...
Many thanks Blobcat it was the "or this" last item. Do you know why the site is not storing member's older threads?
Also thanks to you other guys, i like you am sure it will be the dual foot brake switch. Herbie.
Hello Everyone, My cruise control stopped working and i had this same problem a few years back, for some reason i cannot look back through my previous threads, i hope they are still available?
However i can remember that the last time i changed the foot brake switch and this solved the problem...
Hi Naric, Being a moderator does not matter, it is just that i thought you were obliged to rise above certain levels of banter and mentioning illegalities, i remember you more for helping members, obviously when i posted the picture i was looking for a nicer kind of comment, i know what my...
Hi, Blobcat & Emilydad, Thanks for your comments i think you are right, it is just that i was a bit surprised at the comments from Nairic who has become a Moderator, he used to help with technical matters etc, bit like Malcolm (television), also when the other members posted they did not know...
