    yes, that might be the most obvious but if im honest i have seen that error for as i had my nanocom years agoand only very recently i have started seeing this behaviour.

    so in my discovery td5 i sometimes get an engine light with some misfiring. it happens every few days and till now it has always resolved itself just by switching it off and on. ECU errors: Crank speed logged high The only other thing that i...

    not sure if you re able to help but i m trying to fit mine and the aluminium block provided does not fit in the sporing insulator . i think i should probably mill a few mms from the block but dont want to go crazy with it before verifying!

    I would like to fit airbag helpers inside the springs of my D2. Originally converted my D2 to springs because of the idiotic location of the ride height sensors which i constantly destroyed while offroading. also the springs allow for better...

    yes, you re absolutely correct, i didnt notice the T at the fuel cooler (or heater!). coolant coming from the heater matrix does not actually go in the fuel thing

    I think that would stop the flow to the fuel cooler though?

    as i have "fixed" the issue by isolating the heater matrix im quite sure "something" is not right under the dashboard. i know from the self-diagnostics that the servos are working fine and i also know this because it does change the temperature...

    Did a little experiment, bypassed the heater matrix and now i have cool air coming from both sides. Still think ita not great but there is definitely a problem under the dash. Question is: is it easy to fix whatever is wrong or is it better to...

    i guess it needs to be a U-shaped piece of pipe? since id rather not remove those old hoses, is it very hard to access the flap? do i need to remove the entire dashboard?

    looking at this diagram again, blocking one side of the coolant will block coolant flow to other parts so its not a great idea i think

    thanks for the info. the idea behind blocking the coolant is to proof the theory and so that I can have a/c without too much work for the summer months as the the next available slot is in november

    are you aware of where this flap which opens and closes hot air is? i mean if i dont need to take the whole dashboard apart id rather check/replace it than mess with old coolant pipes :D
