    The only issue is getting the old bearing out as they take a bit of force if old and original. I'd bought some blueprint units and found one had failed after two years😵 I then bought an SKF bearing and used the blueprint outer casing and an...

    Will it run on default values if you just unplug the MAF?

    Also check the wires inside the MAF connector. They are rather close to the EAS pipes on GEMS, so could have an intermittent connection.

    I think the MAF is the culprit, when going slow on a roundabout or junction the rpm is in the region of 700ish the MAF reading goes up and down from 25kg and when the car starts to “hunt” it goes down as far as 0 for a second or so. As soon as it...

    Red box is AM/FM amplifier. Says so on it. Window thing is aftermarket whatever. Last pic is he RF receiver & blue wire is the antenna to disconnect.

    Hold on there, I couldn't see the detail on my phone but the red box as pwood999 says is a radio amp and a Land Rover part I suspect for diversity aerials so do not remove it. Never seen one like that so it's new to me.

    Not everything. Disconnect the blue antenna wire only. Once you sort the FOB, it will work next to the window (near the receiver), but local RF interference will no longer wake the BECM & drain the battery.

    It sounds like it's not getting fuel. Is the in tank pump working? Have you checked for spark? I'd go back over the work to see if anything has been overlooked 🤔 Did it run OK before the repair (apart from the original issue)?

    Solved a mistery, the rev counter. The red wire is 12 V plus, the grey-red one is lighting the green one goes to the coil plus and the brown one is the negative. All I had to do was to remove it from its housing... So rev green goes to the coil...

    One switch failing doe not affect the others but I have had them all not working on my project car. However, it could be that the electronics have failed.

    It's not those bits that need cleaning, it's the switch contacts. To get at the contacts, you have to cut the tops off the plastic pins on the back of the pcb and remove the switch body. you then lift the self adhesive plastic membrane, remove...

    ...it leaves me no peace. I had a look at the circuit board today. When I assembled it, I was a bit happy, because it looked a bit nasty. Then I cleaned it but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Should I buy a new switch pack?

    To read modulation the engine has to be running at max temp. You're looking for 50% for perfection but a bit either side of that doesn't make any real differance.

    You'll need a compressor to seat the bag on the seals when you put it back on, takes about 40-50psi I think. Probably good to have a lovely assistant around to hold the strut up while you pull the bag down at the base and inflate it a bit too...

    Yeah the bags look pretty good to be honest, no that old at all in person. I think I’ll get the shock out and give it a proper going over, might give the new O-rings a try, will see. Thanks for all the help.

    It's three large O rings and spacers which I'd be curious as to why it would even fail there and you'll have to go to the effort of stripping it completely to get to them. I'm not confident enough to say one way or the other whether or not...

    That's where the bag is supposed to seal to the strut itself. It has a set of O-Rings (3x for memory) and plastic spacers to create the seal. It looks as thought strut is fairly new by the condition of the paint there. I'd be inclined to just...
