apologies on multiple messages

Hi Brandon
Welcome to our group. I think all your questions have been answered.The brake fluid cap is extremely tight  on mine as well  its all I can do to move it,but it will unscrew in the normal manor  . And no still no joy on a workshop manual 3 years on. Proton do have one, at there service centers but obtaining a copy has been elusive  so far. But I will keep trying.The electrical wiring manual is in the link section for download. You may have to mess around through some ad screens to get to the download file. Sorry about that, The site storing the files closed and I have been unable to find another suitable one since,but I'm looking for a free host site. Plug your seat belt light back in and look for the symbol on the dash.

Hello
I'm Brandon, I recently bought my jumbuck and now have a few questions
and 1 issue. My jumbuck is a 2003,45thou K's, Pearl white GLSi with
hard tonneau and towbar and had a front nudge bar which I removed,
hitting to many speed bumps and driveway entry and exit.

Ok 1st.. question in the engine bay fuse box, should there be a fuse
in the ABS slot?

2nd.. Theres a white plug under the drivers seat unattached, any
ideas.It appears to come from the seat, not sure.

3rd.. how do you remove the cap on the brake fluid reserve?

4th.. fuel gauge is now registering even when ignition is off, I
removed the fuse in the fusebox under the dash to see if that could
resolve it but it didnt. This is a problem I'd like to get resolved of
course. As I still havent had a chance of finding out what fuel
economy I'm getting.

5th.. is there a works manual available?

Answers on any of these questions would be welcomed,thanks in advance.

Hi Guys
Thought I better update things a bit. As most will know the GSR engine
Rebuild was finished in November Ready to install,Its been the little
things that has held me up for quit a while,electrical parts have been
nearly impossible to find,but I almost have that sorted out now.
In the mean time I have made a new album in the photo section for an
EVO 2 front brake upgrade,Twin pot calipers,276mm Slotted DBA
rotors,EBC greenstuff Pads,and stainless steel braided lines.
Bought the calipers in working order they said,but when they arrived
after seeing them I decided to give them a full O-haul anyway.
The casting is very rough on these calipers and I think it would be
impossible to keep the brake dust form sticking to them because of the
roughness,So while I had the pistons out I'll give em the full
treatment,Glass bead grit blasting, then grind them up completely
smooth giving me a fighting chance of washing the dust off later,then
giving them several coats of heatproof paint which you will see in the
photo album.The photos don't do them justice they look really good all
smooth so hopefully there is nothing for the brake dust to stick to
and will wash off easily.
Rotors and pads have been ordered,should have them next week.
I had to order blank rotors as there is no listing for evo rotors with
100mm stud patten, but drilling them to suit won't be any problem for
me.As the fitting progresses I'll post some more pics so you guys can
check them out. Next will be a 2 1/2 exhaust ready for the engine

Ok 1st.. question in the engine bay fuse box, should there be a fuse
in the ABS slot?

As Kevin said "No ABS installed".

2nd.. Theres a white plug under the drivers seat unattached, any
ideas.It appears to come from the seat, not sure.

This is connected to the instrument panel and is the seat belt warning
light


3rd.. how do you remove the cap on the brake fluid reserve?

Yes, it unscrews - but is usually VERY tight


4th.. fuel gauge is now registering even when ignition is off, I
removed the fuse in the fusebox under the dash to see if that could
resolve it but it didnt. This is a problem I'd like to get resolved of
course. As I still havent had a chance of finding out what fuel
economy I'm getting.

The wiring to the fuel system is constant. I have the same thing with
my Lancer and my Mazda.


5th.. is there a works manual available?

I've been unable to get one - even through a couple of friends in
Malaysia.
I think most of us get by with the Electrics that Neil has scouted
down for us and the CC Lancer manual.

Hi Haroon

I discovered puddles of water in my ute when i had the carpet out. I
was driving around when we were having all this rain and i notice a
collection of water around these rubber plugs on the floor.

I think these plugs go right through to the road. Mine were a bit
loose so i might have had water spray from the road and my tyres
coming through. I siliconed them up, problem solved.

I'd check those, maybe you are missing a plug entirely.

hey everyone,

i was just wondering. today it was raining hard in newcastle and at one
stage i got caught in some deep puddles maybe just below the door sill,
a little bit of water was soaking up around the floor mats and at one
stage the car drove really jerky and coughed and spluttered alot and
the engine light came on. After about 10 minutes thought this stoped
and the car felt normal again. I havent drven it since but i was just
wondering if you guys thought it could be flood damaged or not. the car
is insured so thats not really a concern.

thanks

Yeh it took bout a minute to boot up using tiny xp and get sound
through speakers. I tried to minimize apps on pc as well i.e no
antivirus/firewall etc. to make start up quicker. Some people make use
  of hibernate as well.

Turning pc on/off was all done by the jumbuck's ignition key with the
intelligent car DC power supply.

I recommend http://www.mp3car.com for more guides info, just search
the forums. Its where all my inspiration came from, i also bought my
screen, power supply, and usb gps through them.

I currently don't have the system in my car as the touch screen was
hard to see on a sunny day. When i have more $ i'm thinking of buying
  one of the sunlight readable T/S lcd's on mp3car as they are quiet
expensive.

Will put up a photo album up on here of my jumbuck carputer when i get
a chance.

Nice work on the mp3 PC system.
I was contemplating practically the exact same thing with the 7inch
flip out LCD sitting in the console. My only concern was the
bootup/shutdown time required for a pc to boot up its OS. What OS you
using and how long after turning your ignition can you get sound
through your speakers?

The addition of a WIFI Card would mean that you can just pull up in
front of your house to update your tracks instead of having to remove
the hdd. Nicely implemented nonetheless.

Hi Guys
Just a note to all new members.
In an effort to keep our group tidy all post must be in english
or as close as.
I don't know about anyone else,but the recent post I couldn't
understand a thing. All posts not english will be deleted.
Regards Neil (Group Moderator)

Hey Neil heres the link again, see if it works this time:

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/worklogs/80555-2002-proton-jumbuck-thorpee-s-ute\
.html

Try copying the whole link into your address bar.

And yeh its real loud driving around with no carpet. It also feels
weird when reversing as i have no passenger seat to rest my arm on
when looking through rear window.

Will keep you updating on my progress.

Hey everyone,

Was glad to find a site like this regarding the jumbuck.
Its great to learn certain things about these great little utes.

I have added a photo album of how i sound deadening my ute, although
I have yet to finish total deadening my ute.
At the moment I have completed the doors, and am driving a jumbuck
with no flooring carpet, only one seat and most of the plastic
interior stripped out in an effort to find all the holes where road
noise comes through.

Well post pics of the rest of my sound deadening Project.

Also if your interested, heres a link
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/worklogs/80555-2002-proton-jumbuck-
thorpee-s-ute.html
to a forum site that details the computer i put in my jumbuck,

p.s i got around to getting a smaller pc in a case. PC was in there 4
bout a year, but is no longing in the car.

> thanks for the response neil, yeah my gear knob is a bit longer
than standard and the washer gets in the way of the screws that hold
my knob in place. ill try and explain a bit more. when you put a
aftermarket knob on you have a few screws that require an allen key
to tighten, once you have tightend the knob there is a screw on cap
that hides the screws this is where they start to get in eachothers
way. if you no what i mean.

hey everyone i was wondering if someone could give me a hand. on the
standard jumubuck the gear stick has some sort of welded on washer to
stop the gear boot/gaitor moving down to far, i was wondering if anyone
new a good way of removing this without damaging the lever itself as i
have bought a new gear knob and it sits a bit to high for my liking

ps. ive attached a pic so you can sort of see what im talking about

thanks haroon
