Checked car for voltage drop over night .3 of a volt is that good

Here is a table showing voltage against capacity.
In theory you should measure on a strictly open-circuit basis, ie disconnect the battery, but if the drain is minimal (eg ignition off) then it is a good guide.
I did a quick check and from a fully charged battery my P38 dropped to 12.48 volts overnight. It does have an RF Receiver filter fitted.

Checked the compressor was outputting OK, got it all installed again, with some tap washers under the lower mounting washers as spacers / absorption to see how the noise is. All connected up, fired straight up happily, had to run for 5 minutes but then came up to access OK. Didn't test higher, will wait 'til actually driving. Nanocom cleared the compressor fault message and got it going fine. Quieter than it was, more of a bass throb like a big exhaust instead of a rough harsh noise. Still scope for improvement.
Got the 20" wheels photographed for sale - don't want to be dragging them with us when we move. Posting that in the sale bit later, then eBay next weekend.

The washers should be dished ,@Henry_b posted their orientation and I think it was repeated by @brianp38dse

Washers are dished, installed correct way round - cone up underneath, cone down on the top.
But the rubber spacer on the brackets at the front were very compressed, so the outside of the washers was touching the bracket, and the rear one had no rubber spacer at all. Used 3 tap washers to just ensure the metal washer rims were clear of the brackets and not passing noise through. If it didn't work it would only be pennies wasted.

The washers fit concave down on the bottom and concave up on the top.;)
 
I have re adjusted the the injection pump as i tweaked it a bit far last time which mad it a pig to start
its a fiddle but it can be done with out taking the inlet manifold off, just unplugged the inlet temp sensor and remove the inlet supports
it starts on the button now:)

Getting it spot on makes a big difference especially to hot starting:D

Hankook Dynapro HP2 , road tested and must say very impressed, very stable, corner and brake lovely, and very quiet. For the price, about €120 each I am very happy with them, highway only but if I want to play I use Norman the 90.

Bit of a problem now though, under load around 70mph there is a loud whine, sounds like a diff, but could be G'box or T'box, I will get under and check fluid levels when it warms up a bit and before I do too many miles. I'm sure the noise wasn't there before but the old A/T's I binned were very noisy so may have masked some of it.

Dished washers are the wrong way round.;) they look like they should fit as you have but no.

I'll try swapping them before we go for a drive this evening then. Only a couple of minutes. It is the way round they were when I took it off, so someone's buggered it up before then.

Just seems logical, the narrow bit sits with the mount and the sleeve, so the pump uses the flexible width to bounce around without being heavily restrained and transmitting vibration. The wide bit to the outside of the flexible pump mounts looks like it would transmit noise more.
