Re: [DML] Car sometimes dies, won't start, click click click from relays



Hi Matt

It might be an idea to invest in a new RPM relay (black box, 6-way connector, goes
underneath/behind the lock module). This controls the fuel pump among other things.

Being an early car, has it had the starter circuit upgrade?

The window fell off the bottom of the tracks in #2727 and it was a real pig to get back
up again. In the end it was James RG who succeeded - NB you can't pull it out the window
to slot it back in from the top - he had to get it back on the guides from the bottom. I
don't know if this is the "accepted" method, but it's the only way we found.

Best Wishes
