Black Box

Post by **johnlampett** » 18 Oct 2006, 16:43

I have a 1985 2.1 Caravelle LHD

I have just found a black box on the inside
It is attached to LHS rear wheel arch , i did not know it was there until the kids found a secret panel in the cupboard

They suspect previous owner was a drug runner

Anyone know what it is ?

is it empty.it could just be somewhere to hide valuebles when traveling...(or drugs)..

No seems to wires coming out it

The space at the bottom of the cupboard will be definately be handy

Its an optional extra for owners who wish to self destruct the van when the rust is to much.

Try cutting the wires and see what stops working

Actually, that was meant to be a joke, but if you do that carefully and rejoin carefully ( chokkie bloks ) it's not such a bad idea !!

My suggestions are =
A split charge thing
An Alarm thing
A Eber heater thing
Summat to do with a sound system

or somewhere to hide drugs..cleverly disguised as an electrical box of some sort...

DONT CUT THE WIRES!

he he you bad bastards, I 'm assuming you have an MV code 2.1 engine, the box is the ECU or brain for your engine.

No, I am not going to cut any wires

Yes its a 2.1 petrol engine

MCU is something I will have to read up on

But on the back wheel arch is a strange place for it

Thanks
