Have you checked battery connections, are they tight? Have you checked the battery condition? Why are you charging it every night? I had a starting issue a while back. Sometimes the starter would turn over, sometimes it wouldn’t. No clicks, no noise, no nothing. I found the signal cable on...

Definite progress of sorts... As @joojar @sierrafery and others have said, I looked at the actual waste gate. I got hung up on what I now know is the actuator (with big spring in). I found a vid on YouTube which I’ll post a link to shortly. My waste gate was definitely sticking, but after...

Thanks Joojar. Yes, I’ve had this off, drowned it, freed it off and refitted. It seemed mechanically ok. I’m trawling through related threads looking at relevant pressures I should have. I’ll get Hawkeye plugged in to see what is going on.

Thanks @sierrafery. I’ll do the test on Saturday. How can I diagnose overboosting? I changed the regulator, does this control overboosting?

Thanks Joojar. I forgot to post that I have swapped this, and the injector harness too. Although I wouldn’t rule out new items entirely.

Possible progress in a strange kind of way. I think I had/have 2 faults, and confused the diagnosis. I definitely had engine problems, rough idling etc, and proved the MAF to be defective which I changed. I still had loss of power, or so I thought... Being happy I couldn’t find any more...

Thanks @sierrafery When this fault was present, embarrassingly, I hadn’t reconnected the sensor after cleaning it. Reconnected, it reads and changes with pedal demand. No faults showing on Hawkeye.

Thanks Mike. Big job? Any pitfalls to avoid? Did you have any visible symptoms, visible fuel leak etc?

Hi All, Still taking any advice you can give...! I now have Hawkeye, and cleared faults that were present, so no faults are showing now. I’m now thinking I might need to start replacing sensors with Genuine LR parts, but would like to know which sensors are critical to be Genuine. I haven’t...

What does this mean?

Thank you Sir. I’ll wait for the Cavalry now... @sierrafery

VDO/Siemens unit as suggested.

I replaced it with Aftermarket. I went from having no signal voltage, to having a voltage that is variable. My ambient pressure value isn’t changing at all.

Ok, progress I hope... Hawkeye arrived today. Live faults displayed are: 3007 Ambient pressure low 3039 Ambient pressure When I looked at the live data, the ambient pressure didn’t move from 100.0kPa. Is this the MAP sensor or something else? Sierrafery...?

Hi All, Are there any disadvantages to buying an ex Military or ex Utility (HD chassis) vehicle? Are all parts compatible with these chassis types, including fitting ‘standard’ roofs, or are they specials and I’ll struggle?
