Will it not mark or damage the radiator grill pressing it against it. I'd also worry about the wood vibrating lose.

Ha ha. I'm reluctant to do so as it's a right pain in the backside to put back on again. As it happens I've got a hairline crack running along the plastic outlet pipe on the radiator. What's the best remedy for this. Araldite?

I waited for it to get up to 95C but the bugger wouldn't. Bit of a wind up today.

Incidentally, you were right, Datatek. It was No 5 injector leak off pipes leaking. I've got some braided hose spare.

Thought it would be super sensitive, 😄. I'll move it a good 4-6 16th next time.

First measurment above was at 12/16 of an inch & that was 86.57% modulation at 94⁰c Second I knocked it to 10/16 of an inch and that only drew it down to 83.84% - 81.89% modulation at 93⁰c I don't know if the pump will even rotate enough to get it down to 50% but I'll see.

Cheers, Datatek. I've already got a copy from you thanks. I've got to put some masking tape on my steel ruler with 16th of an inch increments as it only has 16ths on the first three inches of the ruler.

I'm in luck as it's the 5th injector. I replaced the leak off pipes a year or so back but I'll check them again.

That's brilliant. Thanks, Flossie!

Incidentally, Mark. Would you know what special size socket I'd need to remove the injectors? I'm not sure if it could be a lose olive, leak off pipe or copper washer, but their's a trail of diesel down the side of the engine that drips on the ground. I'll double check when getting the engine...

Cheers, Mark I assume you meant bolt not volt? Yes I'll get all three bolts. Collect them all! Like a kids toy advert.

Cheers for that. Just letting the engine cool down before tinkering.

Right I'd say she's way off at 86.57% modulation at 94.40⁰c. So from this can we extrapolate which direction the pump should be rotated?

Thanks guys. As it happens I went ahead without the nanocom & loosened the mid 4 FIP bolts and tapped the actuator forwards with a hammer & it's running sweet as a nut now (aren't hammers just the best thing ever 😄 🤣 😂). I'll get some readings tomorrow. It's idling at around 850rpm but I'm happy...

Thanks lads. Right I've got my brothers Nanocom but I've never used one before. I belive it's set up already but I've no idea which menu selections I need to use. Could someone guide me through, cheers? Yes I put grooves on the back of the mid section of the pump too for any lateral movement. I...

It's been rebuilt. I put three grooves into to aid alignment. After rebuild.

Cheers, I remembered that!

yes, sorry. 900rpm not 90. My brother has the nanocom. I'll see if I can get a reading when he comes round.

Right, got her running but she's very lumpy & idling at around 90rpm. So does that mean I need to slightly loosen the second row of bolts on the FIP and knock it forwards a touch. Guess the pump needs to be rotated anticlockwise a touch too. I'm still following Datateks plan as per timing but...

Right it's back in. It felt okay - no resistance. Here's a before picture of the woodruff key before I removed it: And here's after: Does that look okay to you? Just checking... Nearly forgot to put the brass nut on at 50NM before pulling the flywheel locking pin out...😨
