Hi Andy After much searching it turned out not to be the relays. In fact it was the crank sensor on mine. Even though I tested it as described in hbol. I only found out this to be the problem once I was able to borrow a spark crank sensor. The crank sensor going wrong affects alot of other functions...

Well these are not perfect but a big upgrade on the ones I have got. £160 for the pair. Finger's crossed they look as good as the pictures!

Thankfully managed to pick up a decent looking pair of rear lights this week. Think I will still try a polish up when I get them. Should look good along with the new DRL's. Hopefully all mot worthy now.
Thanks for all suggestions.

This question has probably been asked 100 times before so apologies for that, but I cannot find answers on a search of old threads. My rear light clusters are cracked, frosted and a bit warped (as many are) . I am concerned they may fail next mot if they are not letting enough light through. So the ...

Real charmer Thought he must be trolling.

Thanks for replies all. I will try the insurance route then try get them to give me time between removal and the replacement so I can treet the rust spots. Will let you know how I get on.

I have quite a large crack across my windscreen. Looking out from the drivers seat it is over to the right so not exactly in drivers view but just falls within the wipers sweep. Not quite sure how it made it through the Mot last time unless it has enlarged since. My question is about the best way to...

Well done Phil. Glad it didn't work out too bad or costly.

Hello Phil I also recently purchased a GT and had similar ignition issues. When you go to start the car is it turning over at all or literally no noise at all? Mine was driving around nicely then i left it after a short drive then couldn't start it again although the engine would turn. I had no spar...

Thanks for info Dragon
I guess it depends how long the UK version will take to come out. I didn't realise they were in the works. Is there someone I can contact to find out about that?

Cheers James. Seal was wrong word to use I think. My cluster moulding seems to have an adheasive/sealant around where the drl lenses sat. I assumed there was some sort of seal with adhesive on both sides that stuck the drl on. So now I am thinking of dremmelling around drl moulding to get rid of old...

I sure this question has been asked before but cannot find it. Do Joeps Lenses come with seals? He has sent a list of seals but not for DRL's. Or should I improvise a seal?

Hello GCooper
I recently joined 480GT ownership as well. Looks like a nice example you got there though. Well done.

Not the greatest write up as you say ! Which is a shame as it looks fairly clean otherwise.

Well you said sing out! :lol: Having driven the car a few times since getting it back on the road the following issues has developed and made themselves known to me. -The central locking has stopped working -The indicators have stopped working -Knocking noise when steering and moving. But not when s...

Hello Jiff May echo what others has said and say this is a super idea! Now I have a dash with power I am hoping to get the rest of the unit working with some of the spares you have listed. With that could I possibly place an order with yourself for the following items if you still have any stock? In...

Last sunday I finally got my GT going again. I can tell you I was quite literally jumping for joy. My neighbours must have wondered what was going on seeing my dancing around screaming yessssssssss on my drive! Huey as I have named him was bought back in September and the day after I bought it from ...

Drl lens is not attached to the main body of the light anymore! Well other than tape holding it on. How much does Joeps replacements cost. Can you replace DRLs without indicator. Haven't checked Manuel yet. Whilst working out why it's wasn't starting these were staring at me.

I am looking to get a replacement set. I have been quoted £120 for the amber version. Does anyone have this spare on here? Would prefer to buy from a fellow 480 er

So i think it must be the Ecu. Does anyone know if you can check an ecu? Or check the wiring earth that goes into the ecu. I have checked all i can think of to no avail. So next step as far as I can see is new ecu. Any help would be great. Many thank
