Hey All.. IRD REBUILD SAGA Continues
I’m still here but in a much reduced capacity… in welding wire and ability.
Having spent some time trying to identify a bearing etc and finally
Looking at some video footage I
had made during the...
In that case, look at the live data for clues on what the suspension is doing. If the pump runs, check the pressure switch to see if it fills the tank. If I remember correctly it should be about 180psi. Then see if the ECU is opening valves...
When I searched, lots of sites listed it, but all said "discontinued" or "out of stock". Just found my old intermittent switch in the eBay pump assembly I bought. It does not look like it can be disassembled without breaking it, but the...
Also tried using debit card, but transaction failed. Definitely something wrong with their new site. Sorted - was bank transaction not going through.
But also remembered I need various rear bushes for wife's freelander, so added those. Maybe...
Hmmm, looks like something is wrong on Island-4x4 website. Two hubs plus Corteco seals = £210.30 but at checkout, paypal tries to charge me £302.83. gonna call them tomorrow & see what's going on.
Just got the offside rear hub off the car. Could not feel any play either on the car or mounted in the bench vice. Bearing feels ok-ish, but the axle seal is really loose on the drive shaft, so gotta replace that.
Cannot see any obvious way...
I searched all over last yea for one. Ended up buying a complete ABS pump with switch on eBay, but only used the switch !!
The old switch was intermittently not switching but would start the pump after a tap with a screwdriver. It probably...
As with any car, look at the MOT history. Same advisories showing year after year, generally show the owners haven't bothered to fix them until they become failures. Service history with receipts for any work done is good.
Isn't that for the "first year" tax ?? It's because the gov are seeing falling revenue from cleaner new cars. Anything from 2001-2017 use the emmisions bandings although those have all risen a bit as well...
There's no "communication" between the injectors & ECU. Assuming the correct & matching set, the ECU looks at the various sensors & engine load to adjust the the injector pulses.
From various searches I've done, the main difference between...
From the info in this thread, exhaust in coolant was probably either head or valley gaskets. however probably cause for gasket failure was blocked radiator.
On my project car the prev-owner has bodged the thermostat & over tightened the...
As a side note, we did some live data recordings on the TD4, although this was with the car stationary & not under load.
Inlet Air Temp seems to be reading high. Bonnet was open & the ambient was around 16-18degC.
Will do some more captures...
There's a few threads on here about the "chamfer & jubilee clip" method. I chamfered mine & used three jubilee clips to compress a little. My 10ton eBay press pushed them in with no trouble.
Main recommendation is to have a second pair of...
Yes tried that using a length of 4mm x 25mm bar, but injector not moving. I was gonna try loosening the clamp nuts a turn or so, and then fire it up to see if the engine ejected them. Told my son to squirt the injectors & pipe nuts with...
Yes I figure injector 2 needs replacing or refurb. Started to get bits off to remove it, but got a problem with the fuel pipes. The nuts are siezed on the injector ports, so when I try to loosen the pipes the injector port turns as well. No...
