Yup I have asked for donations in the past when money was tight and people have always come through for me. I have never run ads on the site because...

Good to know, thanks. I guess I need the little plug in unit to use in my Android. I found a 2012 with ESP being wrecked near where I'm picking up...

I plan on upgrading the radio to an android head unit shortly which I will immediately install the torque app on. I used torque on the last SX4 and...

Thanks Topdown. Most grateful.

Repling shortly, working nights the past week and just catching up on sleep.

Number 18 I believe is what you are looking for....

Bump?

Nice. An upgrade I will be doing in the future.

If it has to do with the heated mirror, they are linked to the rear window defogger at the switch, at least in the '09 so I would think it would be...

E-brake=emergency brake. Yes, park brake, hand brake. I have seen the ESP in a 2009, at least I think it was. I looked at a lot of cars when...

I've had a few things with my 2008 SX4 Sport (US version) that I've worked on over the years: 1. At 35k miles or so, the car was hard to start. It...

I know that...but it then confuses with the electric brake now part of several new cars.....I do not like electric brakes, even those with a...

Someday when the weather breaks in the northeast, I will crawl under it and inspect everything. Having no garage to use, I'm banished to the driveway...

LMP the term e-brake as used in the United States is a short for emergency brake. The term is outdated since most modern parking brakes don't have...

some cars....you mean some SX4's...The RW420 2007 shop manual does not mention ESP at all....so it was offered in later years. standard on the top...

I might have the ratios backwards. Gearing is hard

Speaking from lots of experience, don't bother. Set to awd auto, disable esp, have fun. If you want to get really sideways check my thread on 30/70...

I might have gotten it backwards and the front ratio needs to be changed to the auto 4.38 ratio. Gearing is hard.

Thanks, I'll have a look. I got some USB charge points off Ebay that I'm going to install in a couple of different spots so I'll have a look then. I...

Pop that center console off and see if the wire is tucked in there somewhere. NA sx4s were wired for fogs from the factory even in cars not equipped...

I can't believe no-one noticed this thread was started as a spam for a UAE gas supplier.

So this is a little late for the OP but you should be able to rig a switch to the E brake in line with the AWD switch that is opposite to the E-brake...

Vehicles with snorkels have a spot on the fender and hood edge where there is a larger gap for a flattened pipe to go through. You would have to cut...

If someone wanted to test out the theory I'd be willing to part with it on the promise of a replacement in the future.

I was curious because of my rear swap idea.

I would LOVE one of these as well - if someone can provide a blueprint or at least a sort of schematic showing where would be the best places under...
