Re: excel fuel gauge
I think there are two issues here. Having replaced my gauge with another I have noticed a difference. Issue 1 fuel gauge spikes around (something's not right) Issue 2 fuel gauge drift (normal) With my original gauge the needle would noticeably jump around when cornering, if I shook the car while sta...

Re: Door lights
Yes it does. I removed mine as it was causing a slight current draw leaving the LEDs glowing dimly at all times. Now the lights switch off instantly when the switch is depressed.

Re: Door lights
Remove the delay relay (long yellow one under steering column) then you can tell instantly if what you are doing is working. Without it fitted the lights work in the same way.

Re: Gauge Lighting
I changed the door lights too as was concerned with battery drain when working on it / faffing and leaving a door open.

Re: Gauge Lighting
Just curious but have you noticed a dull glow from the interior lights when the doors are shut? So dull you can only see when dark.
When I changed mine to LEDs I had this, caused by the time delay relay and wondered if I had a dodgy relay or they all do it.

Re: Heater Matrix
Not had a leaking matrix in the Excel but did have one in a 480 20 odd years ago. You should be able to tell if it is coming from the water jacket as the water will smell sweet as opposed to odourless/stale if it is rain water.

Judging by the amount of rust on mine they weren't galvanized.

Re: Another youtube project

Re: Another youtube project
In lieu of a workshop manual suggest you subscribe to the parts manual on here. Will at least give you an idea about how these go together.
