Being posted today to nobrainer. Daytona being next etc.
Any pics of the VIS tester? Id be interested in seeing how it works. I assume its a VIS-out tester rather than one of the permanently wired in VIS testers that you put in the dash?
Nobrainer
09-03-12, 09:32 AM
Grrrr. I'm next :tease:
I don't think it's wired in as its getting passed around. I'm happy to post some photos and instructions when I get it. Just waiting for Stephen... :whistle:

Err, probably not as I've still got it, unless someone wants to pick it up from Southampton between 9 tonight and 7 tomorow morning?

It is a break out tester, you plug the tester into the VIS motors, as the tester has sockets for each motor.

Nobrainer
24-03-12, 07:19 PM
It does only cost a couple of quid to post though and I'll be able to send it on in a couple of days. I was just waiting for new vis to double check they were working fine.

This is a share/loan thing. It doesn't 'fit' in the car as such. There was a fitted indicator for sale but not sure where from.

No worries Peter, i think mines working ok. Just would've been nice to give it a check! Mayb i can have this sometime in the near future!?
The VIS indicator kit is a great wee thing, Makes me smile when I se them working away!

Thought a list of those waiting might be useful.
Copy and paste your name on the end if you want it. Might I suggest if you want it, out would be nice of you were a supporter? Not forcing anyone just suggesting like.

Nobrainer
28-05-12, 06:33 PM
Sorry. My fault for the delay with this. The tester is back with Kev as I was having problems.
add me as well matey if you dont mind :)
Right as the man said the VIS tester(s) are back with me for a check and will be sent back out at the earliest time convenient to myself.
So if this is current list can I get a PM with the 1st person on it, tp send me their address, and I will post out with the person posting paying the postage back to myself, which is circa £5.
The way this works is this, person B wanting to test VIS, must get from person A, unfortunatly there is postage fees incurred, that is all and like i said it is around £5 even if your are a member you will still have to pay postage, if your not a member then a £5 fee for joining is required, but you will still need to pay the postage fees BEFORE the VIS tester is posted on to yourself No Exceptions.
List: Red indicates £5 joining fee required.

*Does the profile status change automatically to Site Supporter after paying or..is there something else I need to do?

Now that i have this,how exactly does it work? as there are no instructions.
What am i looking for once its plugged in?
waynester
12-09-12, 04:48 PM
No idea, but I will bounce this back up as I would like to know how it is used it too?
Ah ha. Just plugged in and I deffo had a duff power vis.
So swapped it over for a good one and I have :2 green lights on the vis indicator now. I have also tested a spare set of vis motors and they seem to be ok too.
Operation is simple. Plug it into both vis motors and flick the switch, you can hear the motors working. Or you can do it with them removed too. This way you can actually see them moving. Simples.
NEXT. Pm me your addy whoever is next on the list.

Box of vis testing tricks arrived today.. will hopefully get a chance to play tomorrow & see if mine are working ok. Feels like they are, I always feel a kick at 3k rpm.. we will see.
Just so I'm sure...do I plug the pos / neg leads onto battery & then connect to each vis motor?

Yes if testing the ones fitted to the car. Mains lead for testing spares. Make sure that whoever you send it on to is a supporter and lets keep the list and who we're sending it to on the main thread. We don't want it going missing. Glad it got to you safe and sound ....

No mate - they are totally different. That is a kit that you install in your dash, and it tells you if they are working all the time with red or green lights.
This is the thread for people to put up that they are supporters and would like to use Kev's kit.
Think this is the latest list.

Course you can ... ;)
The motors actually turn parts inside the manifold. When you plug the tester into the motor, by moving the direction switch, the motor gets a message to turn. If the vis motor is working you'll hear the motor turn and get the green light. Simples.

Yep both motors.
When you have the switch on the tester set to the right motor you are testing - flip the direction toggle to make it move the motor. Then flip the direction toggle the other way. The motor turns through about 45 degrees. Basically as you change the direction, the motor should move and the green light come on.
The "Change Direction" sends the motor backwards and forwards, Rossy, didnt know you were in Dundee mate.
If any the motors isnt doing anything, then its pumped, and needs repaired/replaced.
Thanks for that advice tested tonight and looks like my balance vis motor is gubbed I get a green light but no movement from the motor in any direction ... This all I need at the moment still trying to rebuild up my dash and centre console having trouble with wiring and now a new vis needed, had a look at vulcan racing didn't realise how expensive they are to replace ..oh well need to source one and get that tested so I can pass on the tester asap .

Dude, I have a number of VIS motors (Power and Balance) that I maybe able to kick back into life, a few from members on here (these are gubbed), and a few I liberated from a scrappy, which show some promise, If and I mean If, I maybe able to help you out, I'm going down to Wales next week, so it will be some time after that.

I've got a spare checked and tested, that Kev sent me in return for my old gubbed motor.
I propose that you bung me enough to cover postage and then send your gubbed one to Kev to look at.
That should work out the cheapest way for you and get it all sorted quickly.
Well thanks to Dan and Kev and his tester my balance motor is now sorted and I will be sending on to Mick uk as next on the list . Once again a big thanks to Dan and Kev for helping me out ...cheers lads now to conquer the on going saga of my electrics ..( head scratch)..time .............

How does the tester work? Can they be tested with a voltage tester?
Yes and No, you cannot test the motor with a meter etc, but you can test the circuit, the tester applies power if it were connected to the car.

To test the motor itself you need a 12v power supply to run the motor and a meter to read ma in line in the circuit. this will tell you the current draw of the motor ;)
Green lights of joy! I thought they were working correctly, although you can never be too sure.

Not a dig at you Shycho - (there's a mini rant coming).

When you get it, it should be the first thing you want to do, and then when you've tested them send it on please.

Could do - or give him a day or so to reply. If he re-appears he can always jump to the top.
Just a quick update, I received the tester yesterday.
I have pm'd both Lawrence-ZS180 and Hambo-180 a week ago and have not heard back from either of them.
If the guys read this, a quick reminder to check your pm or it will go to the next person on the list. I will give it a few more days.

Come on guys - please keep this thread updated so people know where they stand on the list.
I'm busy selling the benefit of this tester but it's rightly been pointed out that it takes ages to get circulated around.
Should be straight forward. Get the tester - test your motors - pass it on.
Stephen currently has it, think he is testing his ZT and ZS with it
