Found a groupon offer for aircon recharge at ats. £43 summit. System empty, which I knew, now nice and cold again but it won't last unless the leak that nobody can find has fixed it self.

Alright, I got it to run, so will leave this for future generations wasting a week just like me. Step 1. Key to pos 1. Step 2. Negative battery off for 5 mins. Step 3. Negative back on. Step 4. You will see it turning on the dash without asking...

Correct. 4psi is the max pressure the pump can make against a dead head. It ticks away for a few seconds just before starting the engine then stops. I never hear it when the engines running. Makes bleeding the fuel system a doddle too. I fit 1/8"...

New expansion cap on. Now got normal pressure in the system!!

I gave up with them years ago. I use a facet 4psi pump, hole in the block capped off.

I got bored and fed up. Reset gearbox adaptions. All the clunks and hard shifts have gone. It's like a new car! Obviously when i paid the garage to do it and asked "have you done it" the dude obviously lied because it was no better. If you want...

Head overtemp alarm went off on the way home but needle bang on 12 o'clock. Reversed into the drive to clouds of white steam - sh1t! Radiator cracked along the top and ****ing coolant. That's a Nissens one that has been on maybe 10 years.

P38, front side wing indicator lens was cracked and looked a bit shabby. Got a used unit that had green gunk inside it, as I was trying to wash it out the clear lens dropped off the unit. Removing and Replacing the whole unit , which is what is...

This sort of stuff as an example...

Twas a long time ago and I can't do links cos I blagged the stuff off an electrical installation friend who has since died. He supplied me with plastic flexi conduit , different sizes but the stuff I used mainly was around 10/15mm from memory...

MOT passed at lunchtime. The tester had to block one side of the exhaust with a cloth to get a good reading for the emissions. The 4.4 TDV8 emits virtually fresh air, I am going to write to the DVLA with this evidence and I expect an apology and...

If it's for the left hand side AND you have the cd player/sub woofer, it won't fit. The right hand side is, I think, the same shape on all models.

It looks nice. If you're a bit OCD like me maybe Do another coat and run a golf ball over for the dimpled effect. Or an old piece of cracked leather for the same look as centre?

:cool: Done, not 100% happy considering how much effort I put in but looks lush ...if you don't stare at it too long..🤪:vb-lol:

My LHD project car passed the MOT today, no advisories as such, just a comment about the front left tyre which looks OK to me. :banana:

I asked the same question when I was recommissioning my 38 around 3 yrs ago. The only plausible explanation is to help against vibration fractures but ...not convinced. I made exact copies anyway just in case.
