Id go there mon morning, put it on a tow truck tell them to freak off and take it home dont pay anything. They wouldn't give the slightest about your life, family. You are the one that owns the 25 yo car so if your after reliability go buy something else, they wont buy that story.

Put a weber on it then you can drive it, work on the efi off the car. the time you spent writing the letter you could have solved half the problems yourself.
Not keen on it, theres a million other people that would be able to work on it, ie. a mobile sparky could sort all your wiring out, you'll probably want the dissy set and running before you start playing with the efi anyway which the weber would help.

It even says it is strongly recomended that the car is running, timing etc before you start playing with the efi MS gear.

Its taken them this long to achieve nothing so what's the letter going to do?

I have to agree....I know your pissed, but a letter like that probably isn't the best way to go.
If thats a run down on how things are supposed to go it sounds like a late night and a few beers and a bit of head scratching in your garage may get it started as the letter seemed to explain it. Then it's just a tune.

Rhys

since the car is there i am going to drop the letter in, minus the smart ass coments but with the detailed information for them to do it and just make it clear that if there is no progress i am taking it out later that week and doing it myself..... its just that its already in there i may aswell give it a go[x2x][}:)]

after setting it up like that in the letter it did make it alot easier for me to understand, hmm so Rhys from what i have written do you rekn a few of us could get a grip of it sitting in my shed? if thats the case then i am more than happy to take it out tell them to suck on a "*****" and do it at home....... maybe we could organise a time some night in the next week? sparkling/pale ale all ice cold[;^)]

arghh! this shouldnt be my freaking problem! thats why i was paying someone to do it, thats the whole point of paying someone else to do it!!!

ohwell i'll speak to you soon then Rhys

cheers

Rhys,
Its up to you, if the manual is quite in depth etc then i don't see why not. After Uni exams could probably sit down and suss it out. Diodes and resistors etc send me up poo poo creek so if the manual is clear enough to say what size and where, then probably do-able.

Rhys

hey buddy welcome to the forum, thanks for the comment.

yeh when your car is finished you should make it out to one of are cruises, hopefully my car will be back on the road for one in the near future, im dying to drive it again!

cheers
Rhys

dude i remeber passing this scort on bains rd now.... i was like how does a student afford an rs 2 door like that when i was at school i strugled keeping my skatebooard on the road.....

anyway mate shes looking tidy and i love the wheel choice... were do u live mate that street looks like it near mine in reynella am i wqrong?

hey grant or andrew, went in and spoke to him and he has actually been doing work, he tried everything on that list and it would work besides this....

apparently the signal is being re-routed by the MS box to the earth lead? he says he double checked all the wireing and it comes down to a micro chip (or whatever there called) that he rekns must be posotioned in the wrong spot, wrong way round or sumthing that is doing this to the signal. this seems to be the only issue now, if that is sussed he is sure i will get a RPM reading and can start my car....

is there a logical explenation for this with MS? is it just a simple case of changing this lil chip? or is it sumthing more sinister?

also i have pictures of the uit open so is it possible to look at it and tell which one is the issue/out of place?

cheers
Rhys

ok i will get em off the camera and email em thru now

yeah i've emailed you back on the address the pics came from
