I am mid rebuild on a 1973 109. Lots of damaged Aluminium panels and wondered if there is any experience of aluminium welding using a standard mig with Ali core wire, Argon and DC not AC!!! Looking to purchase a welder but not experienced in welding at all, have done the bulkhead, foot wells...

09 so probably wise to do the lot in one, as I feared 😂👌. Thank you.

Anyone on here done this? I have instability on cornering, a ‘look’ underneath today located a ‘knock’ when using a pry bar on bottom shock bush that sounds like (feels like) it’s coming from internal top of shock. The unit comes in 2 parts and prices are about £150 for the shock or £330 for the...

Got to bottom of faults but forgot to post in my time of happiness!! Wildly different suspension heights across the car, all reset and recalibrated all issues gone away 🤓👌

I had been having this exact same issue with my 09 L320. I plugged in a Snap On obd computer, and read the wheel heights. 480mm (or there abouts) is what they should be. All bar one was different to that, ranging from 515 back right, 436 front left and 469 front right. Reset the sensors to the...

14.3v running so all good on that side. I’ll let you all know what happens when I get a new battery fitted

12.2v having Sat not running for an hour so new battery is first step!

No I haven’t checked battery, a job for later then?!

Lights and message

Drove it today, 2 faults popped up and both cleared within 1 minute. Interestingly the front right showed on the computer screen (off road screen on dash) with the wheel down and flashing red then came back up almost as quick and showed all fine. To that end I assume it’s either a faulty height...

No, I have had a few issues such as red car warning light and the obligatory slow be ow 30 and bump stops issue, turn car off and restart all goes away. And a full up move car and lower once away from obstruction warning. but both have gone away once stop, turn off and lock for 2 mins. but...

Loving the ‘parts cannon’ Datatek, it’s left me chuckling away 😂

Thanks Datatek, I Googled it and found the same, just hoping anyone else’s experience has had similar with an obscure fix as I know these beasts have all sorts of weird fault codes thrown up. I have repaired a damaged wire to the front right height sensor but that hasn’t changed the ongoing fault.

Diagnostics show U0434 and will not clear. Any simple fixes anyone knows of Before I take it to a garage?
