Maybe you have forgotten.

The MAP pipe is still connected? Someone on here had issues with aftermarket MAF sensors, admittedly the petrol rather than the diesel.

Tensioner pulleys can let go, especially if someone in the past has been heavy-handed easing the tension off.

Pretty sure my Lemforder one is removable both ends.

Got PCB, all the components and the new sensors today.

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

So, time for quick summary: Harness installed, everything working except wiper / washer, horn and ignition. Reason, most likely, a mixed up wire at the starter motor, and now a broken contact at the starter. New starter should be here end of...

A long time ago, I had a test drive in a brand new Classic when I was looking for a replacement vehicle. Unfortunately, the gear lever came out in my hand so the journey back the the dealers was in second gear! I purchased an XJS instead.

They're all on the logic board aren't they? I don't recall any issues.

I did try switching the AC off but it didn't do it. Of course, that might mean something but given it is intermittent it is rather hard to say for sure. Been busy all weekend and got stuff to do today as well so it will have to wait another week.

when you first start up the slack is taken up and a noise is heard and then it settles down till either the engine is stopped and moves the damper the other way and will maybee make noise again on staetup. try turning the fan one way or the...

Pretty much the same as you. Pros. 1) For the price it is a hell of a lot of car, especially if you have a scrapper for parts and a backup car (our backup is now Honda Jazz!). 2) I can use it for work and it takes a ton of wood with no issues...

Maybe the nephew will have it. Plenty of time yet 😉 landed should be in the family, is where I got the bug.

I was hoping my nephew would take it, although a bloke in the pub was asking after the third one last night. I can give it up anytime I like ...

I did that. For some reason the fogs didn't work but I think it was a connector issue because I then put the logic boards back and Marty was kind enough to clone the Highline from my Lowline and we still had sone issues. Cannot remember what it...

Yes, done it. Worked fine.

Maybe he took the Rangie and is still fixing it? @MrGorsky had Clarion service his a few years ago but I am not sure they still do it.

yes complete strip down and rebuild look fr Bosch VE injector pump rebuild on U tube

It does sound like the adjuster pulley bearing going. Mark says when it goes it stays gone. This doesn't. Once gone you have no idea where the noise is coming from. The alternator does sound a little noisy with the screwdriver to the head technique.

my cranshaft damper sounded like the adjuster pulley bearing was let go and the reason i found it was the front pulley damper was that you could turn the fan and the front pulley would turn without the cranshaft turning until the dog clutch...

Don't think so. I replaced that about 60k miles ago and dumping the clutch made no difference. That would have taken any load off it.

When they work LOL

The damper makes a right crackling noise and when it goes it's done. They stay noisy and fail full stop, not a intermittent thing👍

Bit of a mystery this ... Driving yesterday and set off and suddenly there was an almighty racket. I thought the gearbox input shaft bearing was toast. Dumped the clutch and then tried to pull away again and it was fine. Did this a few more...

Just be aware that, unfortunately, that may not hold true. Different makes may have different baseline resistance on the wire with the electronics sorting out the correct signal. I am only guessing. I would want to build a test rig.

talking about injections i am just going to get a rabies inoculation becaue im going back to Australia via Ethiopia, Madagaska Reunion Dubia and Singapore. Ethiopia is one where rabies is high risk. i booked in for a consultation and got a phone...

Talking about a full refurb rather than the seals?

They're great work horses.

Wrapping beyond the engine compartment serves no useful function, and if it is wrapped like that the tail pipe will get hotter, hence the problem. What causes rot and corrosion is not getting the exhaust warm/hot before stopping and turning off...

You're only supposed to wrap the headers 🧐
