It is controlled by the main body ECU which is on the right of the steering column. PM me with your email address and I will send you a pdf.

Hi Tom, you Rav is a cracker, one question though. Are you really going to start tampering with the ECU

on a brand new car? :o Could be a can of worms mate, what about the warranty issues ? Ok I'll risk another

question, are you an electronics whizkid ?

Dave ;)

On the subject of alarms...

I am thinking of getting a third party alarm fitted that does external monitoring....but dont know what alarms have that feature, I once knew a chap who had one fitted to his escort cosworth which bleeped and gave a verbal warning that the alarm would sound if someone stood by the car too long.

Now I know thats a bit excessive but we've got some peen@rse joker in the neighbourhood who thinks its funny to go and spray HAWK HAWK on cars, I swear I'd be in trouble if I'd catch him...anyway, thought that this kind of alarm might deterr such society pests....

Any imput apreciated...

Wire it to the mains and kill the :censor:

This what they do to our trains then they cannot be used and several hundred people who just want to go to work get hacked off with the railways again.

Anchorman,

Those pictures were shocking! Quite sure the little bar-stewards wouldn't be quite so spray happy if somebody did that to their Corsa's or Saxo's!

It's not helped by artty-fartty types paying a small fortune for so called "urban-art". Give me a break!

Lets see what you say when some little moron, urban-arts to the front of your house, Mr Art Lover.
