FEI's latest activity

While waiting for the new starter motor, and hex bits to remove the old one, I did some budget controllong excersice. Long story short, no more parts purchases in September, like none. Only car related expenses in that period of time, all...

Refilled the gearbox today and surprisingly after having it's valve block bolts tightened it still works LOL. Photo of refinished sump and for those that have not seen them, photo's of the gearbox under tray and engine under tray. Brake pads...

1- Pos Starter Trigger from ignition switch. 2- Main Pos Power from battery. Negative Power it gets through the body of the starter motor from the engine. Edit - Oh and that red cable that goes from the solenoid over and not connected to...

Not one of our four 4.6's have any under trays.

Most likely it's one of the two o-rings on the bottom of the valve, or the thin o-ring around the plunger body. i.e. one of these three :

Not on my 4.6L either. It must be a diesel thing.

It will be the same amount of work to make the L405 sensors fit and work with the P38 system but they still just potentiometers, so theyll have wipers that fail too. While hall effect sensor have nothing inside that actually touches other than...

I'll have a look after my tea but it was a waste of time, no technical detail.

@backinblack did he have thread for it?

Yeah well thats an even better reason for why making these is a good idea.

It is slowly becoming a minefield of shïte for finding decent parts😵‍💫😒

Thats exactly my point. Dunlop is the oem. If you can find them they work everytime and have the reliability that you are quoting. All the other no name brands that you want to replace your oem sensors with are a very hit and miss if they going...

Is it actual Dunlop ones or china aftermarket ones?

What are you going to replace those sensors with once they fail? For the past year ive been trying to buy new Dunlop sensors and i cant find stock anywhere.

Busy developing new height sensors with my brother. The sensor itself is a non contact hall effect potentiometer. So no little wiper arms to wear out. The new sensors are going to be paired with a control PCB that lets them interface to the...

Aftermarket props are sometimes different.

Hmm that may be the issue then? I did do another test on the motorway with changing ride heights and it made no difference at all on the vibrations. Which would indicate it's not to do with the front prop phasing as then vibrations would decrease...

That looks like it was a weight 🤔

Can't remember if he has petrol or diesel but the oil burner only has a rear one.

Maybe they just billed you for a new one but forgot to fit it. :rolleyes:

I just thought of it @ar1g3, are both the harmonic weights for your diffs still there and their bolts tight/rubber bushes still intact?

Yeah its quite alot, i think its like 11 litres when filling from completely empty if i remember correctly. But the torque converter takes almost all the fluid, theres probably like 3 litres in the gearbox sump itself.

OK, I'll take care of it. Question about the oil: is LIQUI MOLY ATF III (https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/gb/atf-iii-p000235.html?srsltid=AfmBOooWw5htQPmVlrLb0RkJi-uOry_nrWA9urkxd40iuSMq8Q1abgTe#1405) OK? I can get it delivered in 3 days. Is it...

Theres not one for checking the level but look in Rave and just follow the filling procedure and then see if you are able to add any fluid in.

1. Im abit doubtful if that is aft? Is it not just dirty engine oil?

Excellent and thank you for sharing your experience 🫵😎👍

Has anyone ever had the one way valve in their ABS pump fail? Since i got my P38, when the ABS pump is not running it would make a very soft rythmic ticking. So making an edjucated guess i thought it was the one way valve that was leaking and...
