Grrrrrr's latest activity

Can you get a hose through an inspection plate or similar and give it a blast whilst very slowly easing the clutch in and out?

Don't think it was me.

😇 cheers Range Roller, it's very nice of all the lads to say hello and has made my day . Everybody seems to be still involved in helping each other out, which was the reason it was all set up originally and after all this time ids as strong as...

You sure that was an electric toothbrush?!

Was. @marjon was right. The mrs electric toothbrush cleaned the port up much better than mine 😊

My old head is in my scraps trailer. Given Mark is in France it'd probably be quicker and cheaper to just get the kit off eBay.

He's talking about the hole in the head it screws into. The bit you hope is flat.

Unfortunately the copper washer goes over the nose of the injector, then it's screwed into the head matey 👍

It is up behind the glovebox. There's a trim panel under the glovebox that has those weird ribbed plastic nails with washers. Pull them out and it should be visible underneath. I cannot remember what I did now but I think it just screws to the...

Still here and still driving around with fingers crossed. Thought you had been quiet for a while. Have you gone Jap?

HI MOZZ HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL, GOOD TO SEE YOU ABOUT!!

When the carbon build up in the manfold on my disco caught on fire and burnt a hole in the plastic manifold and i got a used one i blocked off the egr and ran a can of manifold cleaner through it the crap that came out of the exhaust caused a...

Fixed that for you, unless you were freefalling from a Herc.

I did 160mph in my p38 with the sunroof fully open and the wife got sucked out. Venturi effect I believe, she was not amused.

I can hear every note from every instrument under the bonnet. One out and I touch cloth.

Maybe with the diesesed motor hibernating 🤭

440 on the P38A.

If all else fails there is always the 240 air con (2 windows open 40mph )

Pretty sure you hear the pumps.

I have got a turbo in bits on the bench, it's surprising how much gunge there is on the intake side.

May be a sticking wastegate and the cleaner cleared the gunge out

I'd still have a look about. The guy that did mine said the compressor oil was actually dyed, and UV reflective so if they put oil in (and they should have) then you might be able to see whare it's coming from.

Might be the thermostatic expansion valve. If that's faulty it can over pressurise and vent to atmosphere. I got one from some aircon place and it took about 10 minutes to fit. Got the garage to empty it, swapped the valve then got them to regas...

Think that's WABCO D not C and I also have a suspicion they may have fixed it in an update.

Never thought of that. Bit surprised it did anything as it has enough oil going through it.

One of the new neighbours asked if there was a car-park behind my house and how to access it. Had to explain they were all mine.

If you lot hadn’t drilled the fact you take the filler out first into me the situation would have been far more severe 👍🤭 Oh and don’t put green stuff on your gearbox plug threads. That too 🫣

Fixed that for you.

I think I would be looking at map pipe or inlet gaskets next. Possibly the intercooler itself as RRDT suggested.

That's the only way I know. Worn teeth on the mechanism might mess it up.
