It's dead simple just 3 wires, earth, live and the I-bus.

There is a pic of the wiring in this thread http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=40250

Here is T-Cut excellent How to : http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=39119 He took it a step further with the fan speed lights but you don't have to do that.

I was concerned about fitting mine but was peice of cake after reading the excellent how to's on here!

timborob · 15th January 2010, 17:21

Thanks Parker and Slimsi

Looks like i should be able to manage that then
:lol:

I will make sure the Thermostat is replaced and the "EP" fault has gone from my car before ordering though

Cheers
Tim

Hans - are these still available? By the way excellent piece of work.

Seeing how T-Cut has fitted his and the additional space alongside it is there anything else that could be monitored via another unit?

My presumption is that with the AC on the fan runs constantly and keeps the temp down? Anyone else see this?

Also am I right in thinking I don't have a PRT as it is a 99 model?

Well thought it was worth updating, I think my thermostat is accurate as now it's colder outside the car runs 4c cooler and still with AC off runs up from 84ish on the motorway to 90's & up in traffic reasonably quickly.

Is there something else I can check as with AC on my car never gets above 88c, so confused?

Parker · 14th February 2010, 17:46

Don't forget when the aircon is on the fan is constantly running so I guess the engine will be kept a smidge cooler, my 1.8 temps are running exactly same as you, so I think no probs.

As a test run your car no aircon on and let temp rise once it gets 95 ish turn on aircon and engine temp will drop dramatically to mid 80's

Is there a thread for ordering one of these gizmo's?

I have PM'd Hans. Is this the procedure? This thread is getting very long and not easy to navigate in a hurry.
