What did you do with your Range Rover today

[Grrrrrr]

Just pulled a 1/2 inch bit of metal from my tyre, no bubbles so fingers crossed!!!

Soaked the ABS sensor but doesn't look like it's going to give up easily! Probably end up taking the engine out

The sensor sits in a springy bush. Clean all around and then try to get under the lip of the bush and just keep wriggling under the lip all the way around and eventually it should start to wiggle free. Look in RAVE for the type of grease and make sure it is packed when putting it back.

The sensor came with a springy bush but i also ordered a solid metal black one as that's what appears to be in use currently

Probably packed with grease, dirt and brake friction material.

Doesn't the sensor and the springy retainer fit inside the solid metal bush?

Not actually looked on RAVE yet, figured I'd find out when i took it apart!
Not touching it today, needs to be roadworthy tomorrow

Good move, when I replaced my sensors I only needed the springy retainer.

Well.

Fitted a new/used blower motor, on the pax side.

Really easy job took 5 minutes!

Old'un out!

Nowt better than a good blow. LOL

New/used one in!

Verdict is good.

Nice blowage from the vents and my HVAC book has disappeared!

RESULT!

 

[kermit_rr]

Losing around 0.5v between the battery and the ciggy plug not sure why yet! Not something i want to unravel today

That's the reason I'm not doing the lambda on the Alfa. Twenty quid part but it's a pig to get at.

Cannot remember, to be honest. I just remember the sensor sitting in the spingy bush. Maybe it changed between years?

Just resoldered the new connector I put on the new F/N/S height sensor and I've still got a twitchy voltage showing on my Foxwell.....BASTID.
Looks like I'll have to trace the wire back to the ECU and look for damage. Seems the ECU is up behind the dash. PITA

Nowt today, she's just sitting there and being good

Cleaning rocker shaft parts.

Wire brush, elbow grease and a couple of squirts of the Autoglym low odour engine cleaner got this result. Rockers are more fiddly but just as good a result. Minimal wear on shaft and rocker bearings so they will be good to re-use.

Second shaft looks a lot more cooked - planning to do a cleaner soak before disassembly to hopefully reduce work later. Also contemplating an ultrasonic cleaner to save effort.

Pushrod storage solution

Half way there on the first rocker shaft set now. Fingers ache, off for a meal. Back to work tomorrow, see how much cleaning engine bits appeals after a day at the desk again....

Don't get caught shining your shaft

Today I mainly removed the tank cradle and welded on some newness and gave it a coat of paint.

No such thing mate, £50+ for one that was worse than mine and needed repair.
