With Xmas now out the way - how many of you couch potatoes are coming down to Loco on the 30th for the 2wd single stage event.

Should be good, and cold?

I believe it was something

I believe it was something to do with his ECU?

Irene & Richard came 11th overall and 4th in class.

Tony & Paul came 29th overall and 9th in class

Ian & David 33rd overall and 5th in class

Richard & Samm retired after stage 2 - no reason mentioned in results.

Jims Loco demise . .

Electrics cut out on stage one on the bumpy track.

No one able to diagnose the problem despite a great deal of advice.

engine turned over but would not fire up - ECU replaced to no avail

Particular thanks to Spike , Chris & Ian Mepham

THE MOST ANNOYING THING . . . IT FIRED UP WHEN I GOT IT OFF THE TRAILER AND SO I DONT NOW KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS . . .

I think I'm prepared to pay a reasonable sum of money to someone to completely overhaul the electrics. ( 1992 PEUGEOT 106 XSi 1360 )

Volunteers or Recommendations please

Try replacing the elctrical

Try replacing the elctrical cut-off switch before you try anything else, they can cause all sorts of out faults if it is the traditional 'key' type switch.

or the coil .

did you have a spark while turning over ,coils tend to fail when warm and start working again when they've cooled down .

We had a similar

Hi Jim

We had a similar problem on the Tempest - after a really ruff stage we had accquired a rather large hole in the manifold and had ripped the sump guard off. After trying to repair it the car then gave up, we changed ecu and still no joy - upon looking in the boot the tools had moved etc and were laying on the fuel pipe? after moving them it was all ok

PUGLET Electrics

Hi Jim,
It's probably the brown fuel pump / ecu relay under the ECU bracket - or more likly its connector to the power up pin, which is underated for the fuel pump /ECU load. Matt's red 106 XSi came to us via Ebay very cheaply as a result of regularly stopping for no apparent reason and starting again despite having loads of money spent on replacing parts.
I replaced the nasty PUG bit by two standard relays and some fuses and diodes.

If you want me to have a look at the cars electrics I can do so, give me a call after about 7:00 pm.

Pete Brewerton
