    When I did my P38 propshafts, the bearing caps were slightly below the circlips. I centred the UJ as best I could, and then filled with grease which expanded the caps firmly against the circlips. Does sound like dropped roller, unless the UJ's...

    If the doors & tailgate are all closed, and the car is low, then the compressor is feeding the tank and any airbags that need to rise. To fill the tank only a door or tailgate needs to be open. Your compressor failure two weeks ago could either...

    It's about right for tickover, but you either need working diagnostics, or move the multimeter so you can see it from drivers seat. For your diagnostic issue, check the voltage across Pin-16 (12V) and Pin-4 (Ground). Connector might need...

    Also check that GEMS is set for the correct engine size. 2nd screen in settings menu. Once you get the settings in the right ballpark, you should do some drive cycles to train the ECU.

    In that case it's easier. Pin-1 = 12V, Pin-3 = Ground, and Pin-2 is the output to the ECU. The description in RAVE is not quite correct, because the IAT is in the air-filter housing. The attached LR System doc has the correct description on...

    There's only one Adaptive Values Reset in Nanocom for either GEMS or Thor. (Can't remember which you have) No option to reset MAF, O2, etc separately because the ECU learns using all of the sensors together. Have you also checked the O2...
