    Had a flat battery fail at a recent show, car had won an award, and then would not start ,just slight solenoid clicking and then nothing. Embarrassing? A bit !! Thought something was up when , going to the tonneau release button ,all I got was a half-hearted click ,and no release. When I got the...

    '93.....best top?

    It looks for now my '93 'vert may stay with me a while . But now the top looks a bit tired ,so need to ask if anyone has changed the top on one o' these ,and who gets the vote for best quality/value, and closest appearance to the stock material .It's in white , if that makes any difference ,and...

    escaping / evaporating sparks and electrons !

    Having now found that my suspected current drain is apparently not related to the headlights , the drain seems to be on the circuit for the E.C.M., as when the fuse is pulled ,the drain drops to .1 on the ammeter , from .33 . Assuming I have it set to the correct scale - the "Chinglish" manual...

    Those bloody headlights again ! Talk about picking the moment to give grief...........

    Now there's some interest in my '93 'vert , ( have to sell ,wife can't cope with gymnastics and seating position ) , the battery went flat in a week ,and it's a new one with good Amp/hour rating . I have had issues with a current drain , thought to be the headlights ,of about a quarter Amp ...

    Sad times,indeed......

    I have to part with my sweet '93 convertible, due to my wife's worsening spinal disability - she can't tolerate being in the car , given the seating position , and entry/egress is a big issue also . So , to that end , I've posted it on Classic Cars for Sale on Car And Classic |...

    horn connector?

    Just a quickie prior to the season's 'Vette action starting ! Is there such a thing as a female connector plug - to match that on the body of the horn where the factory loom connects to the horns - on a '93? Reason I ask is that the horns fitted as stock don't really sound with the "authority"...

    c4 calipers for "big brakes" ?

    I have a '93 'vert . It has 13" discs , but I don't know which calipers are fitted . The guy who sold me the car did the switch , from 12" discs , but I don't think he changed the calipers , they are more than likely the originals . Is there any way to identify which caliper variant may be...

    front licence plate cover ?

    Does anyone know how those clear , flush-fit front licence plate covers fit ? I reckon there's tabs to go into the slots present on the underside of the top lip of the plate recess ,but how's about at the bottom ? The reason I ask is ,I may fit one if it can co-exist with the compulsory front...

    heater/defrost fan won't stop blowing !

    Just took my '93 out for it's annual test . Found one busted exhaust hanger , nothing a little weld would'nt fix . The battery cable was disconnected on the negative side , and when reconnected , the defroster fan was blowing . This with the heat/vent selector switch showing "off" . Selecting...

    HID foglights ?

    HID front foglights ? Has anyone installed the HID foglight conversion from Topline / TLG into a C4 ? Just wondering how you got on with it .The connectors don't bear much resemblance to the existing C4 wiring , as you'd expect ,but the "Chinglish" installation notes have nought but comedy...

    L.E.D. lightbulbs ?

    Has anyone ever fitted L.E.D . bulbs to the taillights on a late-ish C4 ? I have a pair lurking in my kitchen , and I'm thinking of dropping 'em into my '93 . Do these things cause any glitches or gremlins in the electrickery on these cars ? I put a pair in my '02 Skoda Octavia , and the...

    reman ECM seemed to do it , but now.........current drain thru ecm?

    If anyone has followed my other posts on the ECM saga for my '93 , you may be aware that the re-man ECM seemed to hit the spot . But ! - The car died on me due to a duff battery , it went flat and the car cut out whilst driving at about 70mph . The battery load-tested "kaput" , so a new one is...

    your experiences with a few jobs you may have done ?

    Just wondering .... a few fairly common jobs that crop up on C4's , that I may have to look at some time in the not too distant future . Just looking to see about the degree of difficulty associated with these things , as I don't have the FSM's to hand yet - they're in shipping as I speak ...

On another note , I was checking a few earth/ground connexions just to make sure everything there is as...
