Yes they have to register it with gas safe who will issue a bit of paper and a number to add to the benchmark page .

After what feels like years, I finally got Sandy up and running again. Turns out there is a bracket on the back of the fuel pump which wasn't installed. Got one to put on and boy did that suck. But it repositioned the FIP where she runs good...

Make sure you have manufacturers installation book as in the back they should have filled out the benchmark part with all the tests and info.

Cardiac arrest was a song by Madness :vb-biggrin:

I may still have it in my collection

These flair tools work very well, mine came with some nuts as well...

As promised before and after piccies

Just a quick update, after fitting the used SAGEM MAF I have now managed to go for a reasonable drive around to get the ECU to adapt to the change. It is now a very different car, smooth as silk, idles as steady as a rock, no hesitation when...

My dearest wife paid for the RR to have new roof lining fitted today. Picks to follow tomorrow. Looks 100% better now. :banana: :banana:

The small 3.2mm id pipe that links all the injectors and fuel line on the diesel engine to return the unused fuel back to pump.

Just connect them together and see how it goes if no more leaks then you have sorted it and can leave like that or alter pipe work to reduce possible leak points.

The throttle body heater can be bypassed its not really needed in our climate, that way it will never cause a leak again.

Those type of clips can be tightened up with ceramic tile nippers if any needs to.

Thanks just bought the gates fuel hose and bunch of clip ties Thanks Tony

The pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is known to delaminate inside restricting the pipe looks ok from out side but pipe feels squidgy mine did it fine when not driving but under load it made a big bubble inside that rather restricted the flow.

Its an electric exhaust valve actuator , a surch with google lens brings this up https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355122805930

This is the part number for the Gates pipe, GATES 3225-00070 i often put a small cable tie on the end pulled up tight once in position but the cheep pipe still seems to sweat through the pipe. theceep stuff is almost a six monthly service item :(

i have just fitted two of those pumps to mine and my mates caravans and they work fine as they are, we were sick off the outboard pumps you drop in the barrel and cost £60 the new pumps were £20 each of jeffs emporium . we have to not open the...

The uk mains is a lot higher than 1 to 1.5 bar most mains is about 3 to 5 bar often with a pressure reduction valve, at 1 bar all these megaflow systems and combi boilers would not work very well at all, i have seen over 10bar blow me gauge of...

A common leak item is the the throttle body heater which can be bypassed from the system if needed.

You should be able to unbolt the actuator vacuum body of the turbo with it still attached the the waste gate arm then you will be able to see which bit is the restriction unfortunately its probably a turbo off job but then its easier to work on .

The waste gate opens to stop the turbo putting to much boost out i believe they run at 11psi it dose not work on a set revs it works on pressure in the intake set up so is load and throttle sensitive, ie if you suddenly lift the throttle having...

Ther is a company on fleebay that will for a fee send you the picks off the different lock nuts with the code number for you to match up you just have to remember your looking at a reverse image.

Fitted a stereo with DAB and Bluetooth (complete with external microphone). Works very well. Can change the colour to match the dash too. Sony MEX-N7300BD, if anyone is interested.

I would say it probably ticks over a bit smoother at that speed

+1 to glow plugs But get good ones beru are good and oem

Check the drive belt and the roller guides.

Ya dancer! Mind you this wasn't purely luck. I had to turn the pump as far as it would go!
