Just tried two blue tooth dongles and TorquePro on my tablet and unfortunately the tablet can't connect to the blue tooth reader. I've previously used this set up on numerous everday type cars and it's always worked, so I don't know if the Atom uses some unique protocol or if my set up just isn't co...

Also, the ECU just primes the pump for a set period of time rather than continuosly until pressure or some other signal is received I take it thats from your own kpro software? Is that freely available for diagnosis/checking ECU, or only available if you purchase an upgrade or get the ECU mapped et...

Maybe the ECU is having an issue and rebooting/retrying 17 times before giving up. Do you have an OBD port? or an LED for check engine light? Might be worth checking to see if ECU is bitching about anything. I only have a crappy £15 OBD blue tooth adapter, but I will give it a go. No other LED's etc

Just found it in my Owners Manual! This is strange, the relay that clicks with the fuel pump is actually the "Throttle Pedal Relay." I assumed it must be a relay for the fuel pump due to clickin/energising in sync 17 times with the fuel pump. I wonder if this is linked to my issue somehow?...

smokin, do you (or anyone else) happen to have a fuse/relay diagram listing what does what on the Atom?

Cheers

Cheers for the pin outs etc smokin, that's a big help

This is indeed very strange and I suspect it's going to be a bastard to resolve, I hate elecktrickery type car faults

Evening knowledgeable people, My Ariel Atom (2011 supercharged) has developed a weird issue. I was at a track day yesterday and all was well. Parked up in a pit garage and put some fuel in and then switched ignition on just to get a reading off the dash fuel gauge. The fuel pump normally primes and ...

Any joy finding the pics Henry? Would like to see the factory tie down method.

Cheers

Osky Have you fitted a fan to the bottom horizontal radiator? autobackup, Osky has fitted a fan, it's shown fitted in two out of the three pics he posted. Googling the part number shown on the fan shows it's this 10" SPAL "puller" fan so it pulls air from underneath the car through t...

Can't help with the fronts I'm afraid, but I have two sets (four tyres total) of brand new 225/45/16 AO48's in MEDIUM compound for the rear that I'm planning to sell if anyone's interested? I've recently switched to Kumhos so these are surplus. I ordered them through my local trusted tyre place (Yok...

Hi Osky, Many thanks for posting up those pics! The metal clamp fixings look good as you don't have to drill/modify the chassis etc. Do you mind clarifying this bit please: With the second radiator, the situation is better, but in very hot day (more then 35°C) and with a car in the front, the water ...

Dear Mr. Duck Excellent couple of videos. Nice footwork and dream passenger in the first one. Alan Cheers, was definitely a passenger to remember! Nice work. That hand held camera by the passenger looks well dodgy! Not allowed at Castle Combe. Not normally allowed hand held cameras etc anywhere, bu...

Hi Henry,

Appreciate the offer but Im going to go with the option of visiting a local paint supplier to get some matched up.

Do you not have a paint code from when you've had to spray cars following chassis repairs?

Cheers

The charge cooler or intercooler only cools the intake air on its way to the inlet manifold, so it won't affect the water temperature at all. I think you're incorrect there. The supercharger has the negative effect of heating up the air going into the engine, Jackson Racing chargers are known to ge...

The thing is, it wasn't really understeering, it "felt" OK. I do steer fro the rear, sometimes a bit too much ;-) I'm no racing driver but I wasn't hanging about. Here's a recent clip from Rockingham (1st time there) with my first time using kumhos chasing down a Lamborghini Hurracan Perfo...
