Noble Niggles, help required....

[WillB]

Hi again all,

Well, my newly aquired Noble passed it's MoT, hurrah!

But... need to sort some niggles and I'm hoping you knowledgeable lot can help!

1. Speedo does now not work, was working fine when I picked it up!
Loose connection or speed sensor faulty?

2. Internal fan only works of speed 3.
I'm guessing it's probably the heater resistor pack??

Any pointers/advice etc greatfully received.

After years of owning Lotus cars a few minor niggles are not a problem!

To get to the resistors means getting into the heater pack from under the front clam

Speed sensor...... find sensor on front hub assy,Ignition on, turn hub and look at the back of the sensor assy where the wires exit, you should see a flashing reddish light.

Almost definately the resistor packs packed up !

Thanks

Heard from another Noble owner that the speed sensor can stop working when they get waterlogged.

Well, it's always been raining when it's been driven, so hopefully that's it.

Is the resistor pack easy to change and where's best to get one from?

Yup sensor in front wheel. Hairdryer - 10 mins should sort it.

Mine went at the weekend at Goodwood as I'd left it out in the rain all night - came back when the sun came out for a while. Those that know me will note that this is the only practical use I'd have for a hairdryer

Thanks all, yep, dry weather sorted the speedo!

I still need to change the resitor pack.

Anyone on here done it before and where's cheapest to get the pack from?

Much appreciated

I can't remember, but can you remove the resistor pack without removing the whole box first? Can't quite place the access to it when the box is in situ.

Resistor pack...£37 from Noble of £33 from Ford !...I went the Noble route just to make sure it was the right one !!

It would seem as though I've succumbed to my heater only working on number 3 setting now.
Has anybody got any info about where the resistor pack is, how to get to it, if it's a big job etc?
