With everything setup, flywheel tdc etc the woodruff should be facing upwards. I attached a picture but can’t remember if I took it with everything aligned, might just have been to verify orientation.

You can check the fip position by removing the belt tensioner this is where you normally insert the sprocket holder if you want to remove the fip. I think you have to remove the nut in order to see the woodruff key, it should be facing up 12 o’clock

Well normally one shouldn’t dig that deep☺️ I love learning new things and I said to myself if I’m replacing the engine I might as well take a look inside. The idle should be at 750, it can be changed slightly by changing the pump calibration...

I bought a tool like that as well, you don’t have to be 2 people for bleeding the brakes and that really helps. I have the height sensors on order, when they arrive I can do the calibration. Remember I was complaining about smoke a while ago...

+1. If the accumulator has been out completely it can be a total PITA getting all the air out. I used an Ezibleed kit to bleed about 3 litres of fluid through it before carrying on with the rest of the RAVE procedure. If the rear brake lines...

Thanks for the suggestions

As good as landypoint is, since Andrew left they've gotten a little more expensive than rldautos/landers shop.

I got my last ones from China, they were crap. You could try Landypoint

Hi guys, Now the engine is running sweet I just need to take care of some other bits and bobs before it goes to the welder. The eas needs further attention I had some problems with sensor readings and I’m planning to replace all 4 of them and...

The abs pump sounds about right then👍 if the brake fluid hasn't been changed before then it's a good move to do so. Your braking system will certainly thank you for it😉

Checked yesterday how long the pump runs at startup, it’s about 38 seconds from key turnover. After that it only runs for a short time and after touching the brakes every4 to 5 times. Planning to do a bleeding hopefully this weekend. I finally...

Both mine run briefly on start up but they do not get used on a daily basis. Once up to pressure, the pump should run every 3 to 5 brake applications.

You could do with bleeding the system completely incase of air ingress. It needs to be done according to the rave sequence precisely 👍

Hi Guys, yet another question. I replaced the abs accumulator because the traction control light came on whenever I used the brakes. Also the pump would come on intermittently. I depressurised the pump as per rave and screwed on the new one...

Laser welding is the safest as it will not induce current in the cables to and from the ECU's

Battery disconnect and alternator live disconnect just to be careful 👍

+1 Put a little water in a squeezy bottle so its thick with soap, pump up the eas, apply and watch for bubbles

I went over the valve block again and used some teflon tape around the compressor fittings and installed another pressure switch. Did some on the bench tests with compressed air to check for leaks. Result is that the EAS is working correctly for...

It's not unknown for a new airbag to leak, it's happened to me. Check for leaks where the pipe goes into the bag.

The pipe is 6mm od nylon air line loads on fleebay you can form bends by making a little jig out of wood and warming the pipe up fitting in jig and let cool down.

I had some time to go over the eas valve block and everything looks alright now it has been rebuilt. Still have a leak so I’m guessing a problem with the pipe or the air bag. Since the bag is new I’d opt to replace the pipe. Anybody has a...
