Go to Google and search for widetrack site:lotus7.club or widetrack site:lotus7.club techtalk How's that? Jonathan

Is a drive-by-wire capable of being as responsive as a mechanical throttle? The engineering aspects of this aren't particularly difficult and the technology could easily offer that. But there are two additional constraints: keeping the production costs down, and the compromises in the algorithm if you have multiple objectives such as economy and low emissions as well as responsiveness. I don't know whether the cost constraints in production versions limit the responsiveness you can get by changing the algorithm. Any more "remapping" experiences that could throw light on this? You can get more responsiveness (in one sense) with smart systems than fully manual (or pedal!) systems. One example of this the braking on eg Mercedes road cars. At high speeds drivers are known to underbrake : the systems are designed to compensate for this. The output is matched to need rather than input alone. Jonathan

... but throttle response is noticably less direct... Why is that? Sensor, actuator or algorithm? And if it's the algorithm is it deliberate... and reprogrammable? Thanks Jonathan

Is it a "Spot the Difference" puzzle? Jonathan

Thanks, Bob: Leacy Classics SBB10176. Jonathan

I checked 4 sets on Amazon UK, and 3 had both. I doubt if there is a deep reason. Jonathan

This thread? Jonathan

Roughly yes. What sort of battery is it and is it the sort you can top up? Were you having any problems with it? Jonathan

(Crossed with Mankee's.) Leave prop shaft connected to diff. Have you got an Assembly Guide? Jonathan

There's lots on this in the archives, and there are some rules of thumb for minimum length of engagement of bolt on stud. What sort of wheels do you have, and what's the length of the protruding stud? Jonathan PS: I wouldn't buy unbranded wheel nuts from a supplier I hadn't heard of.

Could the hill effect be due to it needing more power to go uphill? Did you try unscrewing the filler cap when it happens? Jonathan

Anyone? Jonathan

I'd work out the access while you're still building. You need to be able to check the level. You've got the two main options* already suggested above. You could also use a dipstick through the top cover if it has one. Jonathan * And I've posted my canoeish experiences with a cut-down key and a ratchet spanner...

Roger: I get this "PDF.js v1.0.1 (build: fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git) Message: invalid top-level pages dictionary" when I look at the first link. The second works fine. John: Has Phil's secret sorted it? If not the next thing you need to do is identify the wires. Jonathan

Got it. How are the terminals labelled on the new switch? Can you see any identification on the terminals of the old switch, and if not what are the wire colours? Jonathan

Could you tell us a bit more about what you want this to do? Jonathan

Are they Siamesed, then? Jonathan

US sourced were all I had turned up too. How about asking a member in the USA to buy one and bring or send it over? Jonathan

I'll check what I have when I get home tomorrow, but It sounds as if it's the same as your hand-drawn diagram. Jonathan

128 GB and 11h, but you have to do a bit of work to be allowed that. Jonathan

We have struggled for two hours to try and tease the diff out but so far it refuses to come out. What OBNS says... is the problem that it's tight in its mounts or that you can't get it past the members*? Jonathan *Political analogies are available.
