    Yes you can

    If we can get hold of the dongle for weekend after next... (I would like to tweak the ECU on my Anglia...) @Davezj fancy a garage day?

    (Or, maybe Nick/Nev could pick it up from Jason as he passes Brum, and you could take it back with you to Dave?)

    That is ok with me if you want Jason to drop it to you. Do you have the mmcflash software? Hi
    It just does the read and writing of the ecu. You still use ecuflash to modify the ROM.
    Feel free to contact Jason direct or I can give him a shout.
    Does Jason pass by your place regularly.

    and I removed whats remind from vintage Japanese audio/video/gps whatever else was there, didn't expect it will be that many wiring for it

    Also finish first tank of petrol, mix of driving, 160 miles to and back from Garry on motorways at 70-90mph, rest was few school runs and about in town, managed 236 miles on 51 ltr so about 21 MPG or 13.4 ltr/100km, its not that bad but Im used to double that in my VR4 and more than triple in Mazda so still a bit shocking but Im sure this could be improved to about 25-30MPG by map tweaks.

    As I was telling you at the weekend, I've had genuine Mitsi SPIII in mine all the time I've owned it, and it's done a couple of track days, half a dozen airfield days, and now towing a caravan and a car trailer, and the oil still looks fresh!

    The only difference from a standard car is that I've had is a tiny additional oil cooler (about 5" square) fitted since very soon after I got the car.

    Yes, besides the bargain price I put my hands on this genuine drum of oil you persuade me to actually use it and I seriously consider even smallest cooler, its very unlikely this car will be tracked or used for towing but it wont hurt to extend overall life of oil and box itself, they become rarer every year and Im sure they (boxes) supply will dry off eventually.

    After getting inspiration from @Confused thread I decided to LPGit this car too. Never properly enjoyed driving due to see that bloody needle dropping down so fast, even running about, few school runs/shopping ect it need about £20 of petrol for a week to keep this $%^&**( orange light off, and I would love to drive it further than 1 mile and actually enjoying it on long runs with family ect. So here we go, so far I fitted tank 73ltr today. Rest to follow in a week or two.

    Very nice!

    (As a continuation to the MOMO wheel thread, I've also got one of these Nardi wheels if you wanted another to refurbish for sale )

    It is and even better, its working!!!

    Just not sure how to trim bottom cowling to fit back as it seems like most of it has to be cut off.

    24 could be due to a speedo converter chip.

    72 is your issue. Try checking electrical and vacuum connections to the solenoids on the bulkhead near the throttle body. And all the associated vacuum lines.

    There's no converted fitted, its still showing kms. I suspect one of small coolant pipes on tb dipping on plug as this happens b4 to someone on here. Have a look and check vacuum pipes coming to and from grey tank by vacuum pump and they hold pressure. I think actuall selenoid is fubar, but need to meet with davezj and swap over for his when he's not looking to confirm that.
    Been distracted by other things so actually not spend a lot of time on this issues.

    I've seen the 72 issue solved by just unplugging the connector block and reconnecting.
