Well then....
I was trying to iron out some of the problems you may face when/if you do this change, to maybe help. And thats the thanks I get.
No you havent had 100% confirmation it can be done.
It has be voiced on here that it could possibly...
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone said summat like this, although @Avocet1 ran me a close second and I have since relearned what I learned as a rep.
"after the first 10 seconds of you talking they will mentally switch off"
10...
I tried to help to just to close it out around 10 pages back. I think we just need to drop it now, every post gets another essay as to why we're being laughed at.
I'm ok with being laughed at.
(There is just a tiny little bit of a touch of Trumpery about all this now. )
And if I wasn't sure before, I am dead sure now.
It's a cr@p idea.
The fact that so few people have done it proves it. (So far one person that knew one other person...
only 1 person? wrong i read at least 2.
Now as much as you may think I might be doom and gloom I dont see my comments that way.
Now as for technical stuff which I know you hate to talk about, and I do like to research interesting stuff. I class...
The glow plugs are new last year and about 1,000 miles ago. That’s not to say there couldn’t be an issue there. There’s about a third of a tank of fuel in it. I have a hand primer bulb fitted before the fuel filter, so I can confirm that the...
How much fuel in the tank? If it's less than half full, a failed in tank pump can cause starting problems. Also as Mark said, check the modulation with the engine hot when you get it started.
Took the P38 out for a camp before a cycling event around Exmoor at the weekend. Some very steep hills in very hot weather and it was absolutely spot on.
Currently hovering over the buy button for new front and rear airbags for the P38...
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...
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...
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...
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 !!
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
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...
Just a thought, how old are the glow plugs and will it start with easy start or a small sqirt of brake cleaner.
If you have one failed flow plug, the engine is a damn pig to get going had you checked the modulation when it was running and at...
Welcome to Landyzone. You have jumped in on a thread from 2011 so don't hold out too much hope for a response. Better to start your own thread with details of you car and exactly what info you want.
So many words with so little meaning plus a one month trip in view. Must be retired or a politician to have that amount of spare time. If retired, then from an age when swapping bit on cars was a simple thing to do. Not so now with all the...
