Re: Remapping Service for VHPD Needed - Any Ideas?

Been to Emerald a few times over the years, but my last remap was done by MAC motorsport in Dundee. For me, they did a decent job of the mapping process and saved a jont down south.

Re: S1 lights LED Headlights and driving lights?

Holy thread revival :) - whats the verdict on the pmnparts lights a year on (albeit a stay at home year)?

Re: Replacement of clutch master cylinder on S1

Thanks Woody, will try a wobble socket and see if thats enough to change the angle of attack. Had originally thought that a couple of extension pieces would give me access but it just ended fouling on the back of the dash and/or pedals. Yeah looks like it’s installed before the pedal box is fitted.

Last weekend /(10m from my house) the clutch hydraulics failed on the S1. Both the master cylinder and slave need replaced. I’m having issues removing the master cylinder, mainly due to access. Is there a specific method (or recommend tool) to be able to remove the two retaining nuts securing he mas...

Re: Fuel pump circuit on s1

Thanks guys >>I would pull the inspection cover behind the passenger seat and disconnect the plug for the fuel pump. Re-install an new fuse and switch the car on.

Fuel pump circuit on s1

Does anyone have details on the fuel pump pin outs from the MFRU to the pump itself? To cut a long story short, I was out driving a few weeks ago and the car cut out (mid EK whirlies roundabout). Fuel pump didn't prime and then realised that I had a blown fuel pump fuse. Replaced the fuse but on cra...
