I used acetone to clean the intercooler and paraffin to clean the intake manifold. You can get acetone from fibre glass roofing suppliers. Dont use acetone on the plastic intake manifold. If you are going to attempt the intercooler see this good luck

I recently cleaned out my Intercooler and intake manifold and you would be amazed at the difference it made to the performance. I also blocked the EGR with a steel penny and that gave me a bit more zip on the hills. The intake manifold was really ****ty and the vacuum port for the MAP sensor...

Duck Oil by Swarfega is good stuff, so is paraffin and old engine oil. Coka Cola is a pretty good releasing agent, especially for seized pistons, wouldn't drink it though :)

Gazza, if you are not going to replace the receiver yet remove the blue wire from the existing receiver. That way you should at least avoid the problem until you get the new unit. good luck Bill

Don't know mate. Be careful if you do go the ebay route. I have seen comments where some individuals have fitted the new one and put the old one back in its box and sold it as the new type. The new one has the 'CE' mark.

Receiver part number YWY500170. (£141.66 +VAT from island-4x4)

Check the vacuum pipe from the underside of the intake manifold to the MAP sensor (on top of the fuel filter housing). If the pipe has come off that could cause the loss of power.

:multiply: Thats not nice - I think someone just lost an argument!

Undo the hoses to the top of the rad & secure to one side, then follow instructions from wammers/spudh. Viscous nut is 32mm.

Hi Rasheed, I don't think Clive would appreciate being called 'my man'. It was not Clive I spoke to in fact, it was Alun, who has registered with the group. When I spoke to Alun it was just to make sure I was not ' treading on anyones toes' so to speak. He showed an interest and said he felt...

Yep, forgot to mention the tank cap.

It is in Rave. You can get a new fan for a diesel from island-4x4. Britpart one is £58.33 + VAT and OEM one is about £100 + Vat. Not too sure about the one you have seen on ebay. Make sure you change the thermostat for an BMW one from the dealer. I bought a 'quality aftermarket' one that...

I am over 65, drive a Range Rover and tow a caravan. I am also an ex diesel MECHANIC (not fitter). I drove 32 ton artics for a living so have plenty of experience. I do not ride the clutch, my caravan is not made from baked bean tins (most older people own more up to date caravans) and...

I have just started a self help user group for Bearmach Hawkeye. If anyone is interested it can be found here Please feel free to take a look and maybe join us.

Hello folks, I have had my Hawkeye for about a year now and still disappointed with the amount of instructions available. To help owners (including me) I have started to setup a user group here. Please feel free to take a look and register for membership. If you have any problems you could pm...

Remind me of that when I stop and take the Hawkeye/tools out of the back of my P38 Rangie.

Maybe a 'teach in' on the internet, every so often or perhaps when new updates are added. I think the lack of downloadable or printed instructions is the biggest problem with the system. I want to use the answers from this survey to persuade Clive Myall at Bearmach to improve after sales...

Good Luck with your new vehicle, hope you find a similar forum supporting whatever you choose. All the best.

There has been a lot of discussion about Hawkeye vs BBS and one thing that seems to have come up from that is the lack of a decent instruction manual (for P38) for the Hawkeye. The Unit is aimed at the private user not at commercial repairers so surely should have some instructions on use...

Paul, That's what I suggested above. I think you suggested that at the beginning of this thread. At the time I had not visited the BBS website so did not know they claim that The Faultmate FCR is designed and manufactured specifically for Reading and Clearing all possible Fault Codes. Bill
