Re: 12 volt feed that works thru ignition accessory switch.

Here you go, might not be the right fusebox layout for your car but this should help you... The wiring diagrams say fuse 23, not that they're always accurate, but it should be a 2 position fuse: http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd196/steve_earwig/Fuse%20diag/D8fusesFrenchsicherungen_zpsfa95cd3e.g...

Dash Illumination

Anyone had this issue? Left side of dash is lit up, gets gradually darker across to the right. Speedometer is very faint. Is it just a bulb gone or more complicated? Thanks

Re: oh dear! coupe madness may ensue

I paid £450 for my 2001 2.0 and it seems pretty good so far. Only been ten days though lol

Re: Hydrogen Fuel Cells

I don't see how it would work on just hydrogen. Probably needs a specialised engine like in the BMWs. All new to me though!

Re: Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The mpg figure comes from the car, I'll try to do the sums myself. I suppose I can compare it to standard by disconnecting the power wire, will be interesting to compare.

Re: Hydrogen Fuel Cells

I understand your point about entropy but they claim you get more energy out of the petrol that would have been wasted. All i know is I am am getting better fuel economy than i expected. I wouldn't have paid for the install but I'm definitely leaving it connected.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Just wondering if anyone else has experience of these? I just bought a 2.0 Coupe with one fitted and I'm getting over 40 mpg without much effort. It seems really cool, it splits distilled water and pumps the hydrogen into the airbox. It cost the previous owner almost as much as I paid for his car lol

Clutch biting really high

Hi, I just bought a 2.0 Coupe last night and really like it but I find the clutch bites really high compared to other cars I've owned. Is this normal for these cars or should I look into replacing the clutch? Cheers
