Sorry, just realised I am speaking rubbish.

So black - gauge. Hence why my gauge still works.

Blue = ECU. So engine runs a bit dodgey.

Thanks for the help.

Anyone got any ideas about my knocking?

Have looked below, but still can't find the gearbox oil filler. And what do I do when I do find it? Fill it until oil starts coming out the hole?

Hope some of you can help with these:

1. I am getting a strange knocking noise which sounds, and feels, like it is under the driver's seat. It mainly happens on bumpy country roads, but not necesarily when driving over bumps (!) and usually happens in 2nd or 3rd at about 20 - 30 mph. Have thought ...

After hunting around for a car I finally settled on a lovley, nearly original 1992 K G40, which I now intend to get back to A1 condition - it is quite good already.

So I have some questions for all experienced owners:

1) My car is black - should it have red stripes on the bumpers? If so are these ...
