Thanks for reply. I haven't tried cleaning the overhead sensor but when I changed the aerial I checked it and it was whirring away. I didn't know about the sunlight sensor so I will check that. When I got the car the outside temp was not working on display so I soldered a new sensor in the wing mirr...

Hi all, After weeks of sorting out little niggles with my 2001 hdi Rapier, the end is now in sight :D Just a couple of little things left to sort out for now. I started my car the other day and the speedo didn't work for a few minutes before returning to normal. Since then it has dropped to zero a f...

I've ordered an ECU wiring conversion after seeing the way the current drivers seat has been wired (very dangerous!!!)

Had door card off today, more butchered wires The motor was indeed wired the wrong way round. All sorted now.

Thanks for the suggestion

Hi all, my 2001 (Y) rapier came with a set of tatty D8 leather seats which I am about to replace with some from a D9. When I removed the drivers seat the wiring on the seat had been totally butchered. The car has a live and earth feed which has been added and operates the seat fine. What I need to k...

Hi there, I'm having a couple of problems with my electric windows. Firstly, the drivers rear windows switch works the opposite way round to the rest of the switches. So where as the others switches are pushed down to open the window, the drivers passenger window switch has to be pulled up to open. ...

Thanks for that. Stereo all wired in including new aerial and lead. Some muppet had broken the aerial and glued it to the roof, it wasn't a pretty sight.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I've checked the wiring under the seat and it has wires running to what I assume are the elements but I removed the blanks where the heated seat switches should go and there are no connections beneath. Is this a big problem? Also, the car came with a faulty sony...

Just to add. The seats are from a d8. Don't know if that makes any difference.

I haven't had chance to check the wiring yet. Will do it later today. Seats need a bit of work, the drivers seat seems a bit loose on it's runners. If wiring is there, where does the relay need to be fitted?

Thanks very much for your help

Hi all, my name is Kev and after lurking on here for a while I picked up a 2001 (Y) hdi rapier saloon in china blue yesterday. It has done 115k but has no history so i'm going to change the cambelt, waterpump and give it a full service. It has had electric leather seats fitted at some point but coul...
