and still no joy, any idea what could be causing it?

Did you change the right 3?

Does it do it all the time, or just when really cold?

hi

i have a repair procedure for the Pioneer Stereo fitted to the Mark 3 LS400 in PDF format - it comes with detailed instructions and diagrams on what to replace - if its any help let me know and i will email it to you.

If you car is older then it might be worth spending £2 and getting a repair manual from here www.manualsparadise.com - Again they wil email you a Full instructions and diagrams in PDF format.

hope this helps

regards

Please don't be offended ( if you are familiar with electronics very sorry) but did you fit them the correct way round as Electrolytic capacitors are polarised i.e they have a negative and a positive leg and they do not like being reversed.

Also did you get the right values on the resistors/capacitors? Just checking.


Also what year car is your LS?

there was a thread previously

we replaced c212 c147 and c.... cant remember

got the capacitors from maplins, we couldnt get an exact martching for the timing one but got one with a slightly higher capcitance which shouldnt affect things....

Any idea what we could have missed, I dont think my bro inserted them the wrong way round?

How much am I looking at to get it fixed do you think?

I did mine with Caps. from Maplin and it's been fine.
The other cap. is C142, I would check them again, this is a fix that normally works OK.

thats what I thought, I'll get my bro to check them next time he is down

but worse case senario jim walker can fix it for £115 + shipping there so its not too expensive.

Methinks the brother is cheaper!

There is also Chris Vince,[UK] often on here, gets high recommendations, for this job.....

how much does he cost?
