As I'm (probably) selling my Zed tomorrow and have a Gaptech RCH+ module for sale.

It is in perfect working order and comes with the scotch blocks (as I used choc block connectors) and an instruction sheet
I'm asking for £60 which will include the postage - New ones have recently been reduced from £120 to £90
I previously bought it off another forum member for £85

I won't bore you with the details of what it does as I guess if you are reading this you know all about what a great little mod this is :)

Please note I'm away Mon-Wed so may nor be able to respond to any PM's immediately

Hi I'll take your gaptech please. You can contact me on 07956119962 Steve. I can do transfer anyway you wish even PayPal direct. Thanks Steve.
 
sorry to go off topic but wondering if you could help me. would be great if you can.

what choc block connectors did you use?

I've bought one recently. don't want to use the ones that came with it as I've heard stories of intermittent issues.

I have 5 wires on mine if it makes any difference?

Yep, that's them - I just used the smallest I could get, I think they were the 5 amp ones.
 
my ciggy lighter isn't working and after some research it needs to be for the mod. i checked the fuse and it's fine. so i'll need to take it apart to have a look at that.

how do these connectors work? did you have to cut the loom wire then join the loom wire with rch on one side and then other end of the loom on the other?

i'm thinking it may be easier to expose the loom wire. take insulation off the rch and wrap it around the exposed loom wire, then use a few wraps of insulating tape to keep it together.

i'm not that good at DIY as you have probably guessed by now :P

If you do that, you'll almost certainly have issues at some point - and iBus issues can case some very strange behaviour...

A lot of people solder the wires together but not everyone is confident with a soldering iron, especially in cramped areas like a car where a careless move can burn the leather on the console or seat.

Crimping is the preferred way to make a strong physical connection between wires as it gives a more consistent connection and also reduces strain - wires often bend at the point where they enter the solder joint and, especially with thin wires, a few bends will lead to mechanical fatigue and snapping whereas the end of crimped connector grips the insulation of the wire rather than the wire itself.

If use use crimped bullet connectors, it's also very easy to remove the GapTech in the future should you wish to sell it on...
