Hi This is really strange - must be down to the weather... Q2-002 had the same problem, I thought it was the battery, changed it, then a new alternator. I eventually found thanks to Jim senior that there is a wire from the battery which goes from the battery negative to just above the starte

The most work is with the heater box, I had to enlarge the fan opening and glass in a new box around that area to stop water ingress. On Fri, 13 Jul 2018, 09:16 Hans Defauwes, wrote: > Some time ago a 2+2 with a Puma Interior and engine was sold on e-bay. > > Does anybody know the new owner? > >

I think the fun bit will be mating up the MK2 heater box with the Mk4 vents and making it work (the temperature control on the Mk4 is done with a solenoid valve in the heater hose). That and the steering column area. Jim From: chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group Sent: Friday, July 13, 2018 1

Hi Nigel. Had a poke around with mine earlier and found 13.8V at the battery with engine running. After scratching the detritus from the battery terminal posts this showed a healthy 14.6V, so no problem with the alternator. I turned my attention to a small cable coming off the negative post le

A clip on ammeter is quite useful for this type of problem, from clipping onto the battery cable down to individual wires on any circuit, checking for charge or discharge and for checking whether battery is discharging when ignition is off Sent from my iPhone > On 13 Jul 2018, at 09:18, Jim He

In the UK you can’t pass the IVA test with air bags fitted to a kit car. I think it’s something to do with possible injury if they aren’t mounted in the same way as the original car. Quantum always used to say that the Mk3/4 Fiesta and Puma dash was too wide to fit in a 2+2 but i know it’s been

I did reply to this thread but the message seems to have not appeared. Probably i forgot to press send. Basically you need to check the battery voltage with the engine running. The W terminal is a pulse output, normally only used on a diesel with a rev counter. Jim -Original Message-

Check the wires between the alternator and the starter motor. These are known to degrade or get chaffed. On 12/07/18 22:34, Nigel Plant wrote: Thanks. Did consult Haynes book of tricks. Yours is pretty much what mine is now. My multimeter is coming out too,  should have checked before getting
