Thanks for the video, Omar. SAFETY FIRST MATE!....Support the car on pin stands before you get underneath it to make adjustments because you never know. Don't you move the car around occasionally to prevent the tyres from getting flat spots? How about running the engine twice a month to get it to temperature and allow the coolant and oil to circulate? Cars that park for a long time deteriorate like unoccupied houses. You forgot to talk us through the flashing lights on the instrument cluster. Good luck on Boxing Day.
U have floored me. I will have to do another episode following the HSE code. I run the engines once a month on average. Moving around is harder but I'll put that in the routine. About the flashing lights - nice spot. We are running a GEMS ECU but maintained OEM instrument cluster. The competition ECU doesn't care about some of the issues because they don't affect engine performance. Crucially the ECU does not have an interface with the other controllers such as transmission (only gems), SRS, AYC, body functions. There might be one or two more. Some.of the lights indicate a fault on one of these systems. Some of the lights are there simply because the signal to switch them off isn't passing thru the GEMS ecu
We have changed to a competition ECU which doesn't care for aeatbelts, srs airbags, Lights that see around corners, service intervals, etc basically it cuts off communication with almost all other systems to worry about ignition and fuel management only. So half the lights are there because the signal to switch them off isn't passing thru the ecu to the instrument cluster

@@omarhaji Thanks for the explanation. Good to know that the lights do not indicate untoward goings-on in the engine.
Vast information about the rally car 😅🙏🏾🙏🏾
And there is a lot more. Next time I do this I will provide a checklist. Because this time I forgot some things
Most welcome for the sprint
Thanks
Massive works.
Not really. Just checking
There are so many lit lights on the dashboard?
