New member here. Bought my 2003 Black Pulse in 2006. Love it. Oil changes, brake repair, and towed it once, all done myself. Neat car. Couple things I need help with though. One of my two keys won't start the car. I have two 'little wrenches' showing up on the instrument panel that I can't make go away. And, finally, I can't get to the low pressure side AC port to recharge the air which decided to fail this spring. HELP

Welcome to the crowd mwestjr

The two 'little wrenches' go here http://www.evilution.co.uk/index.php...&men=servicing

For the AC http://www.evilution.co.uk/index.php...&men=servicing

Last KEYS.

This is a problem I am working on, not how to fix the bad key, what to do when the 2nd one goes.

As of now there is no DIY fix for the key, if you want to drive to Ca, UK, etc and you can get it fixed, Ron may know of someone who may be able to fix it here, I think G&K can do it too.

hope it helped

You're my idol !!! Just kidding, but, wow, great site!! Thanks for the direction. I'll have it fixed (barring any o-rings needing replacement) tonight and I don't have to look at the 'spanners' anymore.

I take NO credit for that site, actually you'll use it SO often you'll donate.

Make sure you've done the two 'little wrenches' service http://www.evilution.co.uk/index.php...&men=servicing

another site to use is http://www.evilution.co.uk/index.php...&men=servicing

Join in the 450 sub thread and I'll add you to the owners list

Is anyone out there aware of any stateside roadsters?

New Key

I've not seen nor heard about any stateside roadsters in the US. If any were here, they'd best fly under the radar because of Customs. Illegal cars here. On the key issue, Mesa, Arizona is the other location that can do new keys other than G&K, but that's still a trip for most of us. I've got the name, but not as I write this. Contact me if you need it. Car has to be on site to make the new key.
