took it out today and drove until it started to stutter/fluff..... stopped and put the relay jumper widget in and continued... the same piece(s) of road were fine, no fluttering.... so just to double check I swapped it back to the resistor and set off on the same roads...... it was ok.....
so....... is the resistor having issues when it gets hot (which it was) and after the swap out had cooled, and once swapped back hadn't had enough time to get back up to faulty temp?? i'll order a new resistor anyway.....
i also found the recent wet weather had caused the car to get damp/steam up again... tracked it down to the thin rubber seal/edge/trim between the moulding that goes over the door and the roof... the one that SOS charge $40 for, but then want $53 to post it on the slow boat, when I know it'll fit into a big jiffy bag! and it's not actually the right one for over-the-top fitment.... https://www.scienceofspeed.com/index...x-1991-05.html
when the rain is sufficient to drench the roof, the water can get under this seal, then onwards getting behind the rubber on the b post... then down the door pillar...
new mouldings seem to be discontinued, but are way over priced! unless there's good s/h hands out there at a reasonable number!! not found any so far!
i've also sourced some waterproof foam that goes inside the over-door moulding... if the moulding have ever been off, it'll probably be useless anyway (same sort of deal as the rear light seals)
i'll probably have to order the resistor from SOS to try and dilute the shipping, but of course it's sunday and B/H, they don't have it listed on the site, so can't get things underway.
