Does this just test the connector or does it test the switch?
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
my steering wheel controls for the radio remain lit up but after a number of minutes they shut also.. they stay up all night??
I have a smoky 427 and I can squeeze 600 miles out of a tank by granny shifting. If I am on the move then this will drop to 450.
On a 75l tank that makes about 36mpg vs 27mpg.
Before my chip I would not have dreamed of getting 36mpg even if I drove downhill for 500 miles.
I didn't even know there was such a thing as a +10 - what does that do? If it gets rid of the smoke i'm not interested
QuoteHas anyone thought of fitting a 2.5td with an 'optional' chip or re-map? I'm thinking that it would be useful, in the interests of fuel economy, if you could select the chip or remap with a switch - Sports mode?- when required, and have it in normal mode for long range cruising.
To answer this part of the question, then yes, but only if the cars ECU excepts the eprom being switched whilst running. Ive had a switchable eprom piggy back board that I made myself for my Cosworth, just by using the enable pin on the prom and piggy backing the address and output pins. worked quiet well. never tried it in the Mig (petrol or Diesel) but as long as the main ECU is happy having the binary output being changed whilst working then should work?

QuoteWill this test the plug or the switch in the radiator?
It tests that the fans do actually work. You now need to know whether the temp switch on the rad it switching when it gets hot. IIRC I used a big adjustable spanner to remove my rad switches when I swapped radiators.
