[Grrrrrr]

Fixed slooby's old Rangie. Running nicely. Leak off on #2 and #3 were leaking everywhere, of course. Quick fix with sone spare pipe I had ready.

Now what the hell do I do with it? MoT test, maybe?

She's shy

You are

You are

I took a couple of photos this afternoon and was going to post., Then thought she looks just as nice as she did when I got her back from bodyshop, so why bore you with more of the same. She's just a pretty L322 being a pretty L322

Arrr, I understand and we wouldn't be bored. You know we all like pictures

Come on you two, sort this argument out!

My local MOT guy will do a dummy MOT test for the standard fee. That way I can fix it before the real test & avoid fails or advisories.

This is the way!

But MOT stations are expected to have a % fail

Last year I put vacuum on my Blue P38 AC system, but didn't get round to having it gassed. Re-checked to day & it still has full vacuum, so hopefully gonna get it done this week. Green P38 AC is nice & cold, so that one is getting used mostly.

While I was outside, I puts some exta R134 in wife's FL1, because although the AC was working it wasn't great. 80% of a can later, and the gauges are now showing 45 Low & 210 high. Cabin nicely cold & happy wife.

yes but not my cars, someone else can be the %

This is project P38 since getting it on the road. Previous MOT was 2014 before I bought it !!

Here, I can have a pre-MOT test at a reduced fee.

AC was regassed a couple of weeks ago, lovely..until today. Book came up, heat on full drivers side, passenger side cool, both set to low on the hvac. Cycling the ign didn't cure it so I had to carry on, 2 hrs round trip getting cooked.
Back home now so I'll get the nano on it. Bottom motor on the box rhs isn't it? I forget. Got a spare motor or two off @kermit_rr if needs be.

Yes it's the bottom one.
It's a long shot but try unplugging the power to the hvac to force a learn cycle. Failing that, flash the relevant motor terminals with a 9v battery (both ways) to give it a nudge

 

[pwood999]

Cycle the ignition a few times without starting. On mine I can usually hear the motors moving after a while. The docs say it self-
calibrates every X hundred uses, but who knows what the real number is !!

Nano says the pot is duff. I've tried forcing it with the nano but getting no % movements. I remember unplugging the hvac last year, I think, which fixed something that wouldn't work. iirc, all motors were working as they should but the book wouldn't go out. I really ought to be keeping a diary of what I fiddle with as I always think I'll remember but I don't..

I'll give that a go, ta.

 

[Flossie]

Cycling the ign didn't work , then the blower wouldn't speed up then I remembered that I hadn't put 'back to ecu control' on the nano but then the blower speed started to respond without plugging the nano back in again. Might strip it all down tomorrow, too bloody hot inside the rangey.

I think i read every 200 cycles. Unplugging it does the same thing

Decided to brave the heat and strip it down. Question if I may...
I've got the clock cluster unplugged and out. Ign has been off for a couple of hours, is it safe to put the ign on to fiddle with the , now removed, blend motor? Or will the srs go off?

Clock cluster? Do you mean the dash binnacle rev counter/speedo etc?
The clock/radio/hvac have nothing to do with srs to my knowledge, only the binnacle with the srs warning light /message centre
