Check crank sensor & connector. It's down the left passenger side of the engine, & a common location for oil or moisture to get in. When it dies, do other electrics cut out as well ? I had an issue with the main battery connection on a...

Connect Nanocom & record GEMS while driving. Might be something logged to give a clue ?

Usually jumper links to split the battery into smaller & lower voltage sections. There will also be a main contactor to isolate the battery from the BMS when required. Many now have low voltage jumper somewhere to allow emergency services to...

Steering buttons depend on what type & brand you go for. There are adapters for most of the mainstream suppliers like Pioneer, sony, Kenwood, etc. If you're going Android then every unit I've used has SWC Inputs, and you program the steering...

Not based on any fact, but my guess would be with grooves slanted towards rear of car, then the inner end hits the pad first & at slightly slower rotational speed. Maybe less pad impact, therefore less noise & pad wear ?? Only real way to tell...

Found the answer. Sunroof Shade is in RAVE. amazing what's in the manuel !!

Just been outside & checked mine. With HEVAC set to 16deg, the compressor engaged for 2-3 min & was getting cold air from the vents with a minute of starting. The compressor then cycled on & off roughly every 30-40 seconds. It will also...

Didn't do the sunroof panel when I did my headlining - it wasn't sagging or dirty. I suspect the sunroof mechanism needs to be lowered - wait for a few dry days !!

Nanocom will show all the HEVAC sensors. The evaporator sensor is in the right side of the heater box & shows how cold that's getting. If it's below 6deg, that as above check the flaps are moving to the cold position. The values of the...

All correct. Changed thread title !!

Looks good, but how much does it weigh ??

Get a thermometer on the high & low side pipe & compare the temperature. FYI, my little Merc C180 Coupe wasn't getting cold at idle, so checked the pressures at idle & 2500rpm. All looked ok, but the vents weren't as cold as expected. Then I...

Also did they put enough gas in it ? P38 needs 1200g which is a lot more than most modern cars..

Still worth checking the battery CCA/EN capacity even if it's "only 18 months old" . . .

@MGT I'm still ignoring as requested.

Exactly 10 mins earlier it appears !!

Yes I know that because you said it before, but it was a simple question given the amount of work involved. No "gotcha" content included.

Q) If you do go ahead, will it be done on garage ramps, or a driveway ? Just curious.

Now that's one use !!

There's a contact page on the Overfinch website. Maybe they can advise ?

spot on

I forgot for a few days……. Ignoring now.

Me too. Dropped nuts, washers, springs bounce somewhere never to be found. Or at least until replacement has been bought!

That looks like a google AI result. Name a car (not mercan) that still uses gearbox output for speed ?

Because nobody really knows.

I just use the gear lever on the P38 like it's a manual

AFAIK, the Nanocom does not cover Sat-Nav or Radio.

You still don't get it. Taller gears require more torque just to maintain speed against drag but you cannot seem to grasp that fact.

If compressor line is bubbling with system off, it's most likely NRV-1 allowing tank air to escape via the drier. The more the tank empties overnight, then the pump has to work harder in the moring to fill it & raise the car.
