Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

The Black Beast as a working horse. The PGMFI light still comes on from time to time. It seems starting the car hot the light stays out, starting from cold it’s there. There are some kangaroo when it’s cold in the lower rev range But we have decided not to mess with it. It really isn’t used that muc...

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Thanks Dave excellent info!
Actually we’ve had the australian ride with both new and old ECU so I dare say it’s not the ECU. Unfortunately.

I’ll look into the CPS in the link, Thanks again!

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Yes Dave, quite ok fuel economy at 7.8l/100km which is good. I haven’t reset the fuse yet as I don’t drive the car as much But I’ll give it a go. However there have been a few occasions over these months where the car does some kangaroo cut outs of a microsecond so something is wrong. Would the CPS ...

Yes Dave. It’s still 9 blinks. However the car runs without any problem. We went for a long trip this weekend toa car show and made som 640km in one day, without the slightest hesitation.

Any ideas on the OE number on the crank shaft sensor?

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Update on the PGMFI-light. I got a replacement ECU about a week ago and today I managed to swap it with my old. At first the light went on and I couldnt get it out But when I returned home I made new resetting by pulling fuse S and after that the light is off! I have only driven it for a few short r...

Re: Manalishis 820 Vitesse Coupe

A small update on my boost. It seems my electronic Gizzmo boost controller was faulty and it only gave "factory boost". Not sure why but as it's electronic it's not much to do really. So I disconnected the vacuum from the wastegate and reinstalled the original boost controller, BMV. A nice detail is...

Re: As if I don’t have too much to do...?

This year I’ve been driving my Little special more than ever. It runs so very very Well it’s just joy! However more driving gives more trouble. A few days ago We went for a really long trip over Maybe 20-30km. The next day there was a terrible clonk from the rear axle region and We discovered that W...

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Dave, you can discard my PM. I’ve found the ECU and it’s the one I thought. Your link is probably the wrong one But I’ve found the correct. 37820PL2B03 There are a few available from Spain which is perfect. I need to understand the serial numbers though as they differ. Any ideas? I've just read and...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Nice pics there Marc!
It’s interesting that many of those cars were considered not being anything special back in the days, but now they really stand out as classics! My favourite has got to be the CRX!

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

I hope your theory is wrong Henrik! I didn't mention pulling fuse S as i suggested disconnecting the battery before you started on the multiplugs which would have done the same thing - or should have done! Have you had any battery problems/flat battery or similar recently on the car? Unfortunately ...
