    Yes they look reasonable to me. Voltage difference could either be differences in the sensor tolerances, or maybe slightly different supply voltage due to contact resistance in the connectors. You could try swapping the snsors over to see if...

    Yes they are tight. Old bushes are about 49.85mm dia. The arms are about 49.7mm internal, but are about 0.25,, bigger on one side measured with my vernier. New bushes are 50.2mm even after freezing overnight. So heated the arm ends a bit &...

    Not sure how 1992 differs from 1995, but here's the later diagram with pin & colour info:

    Not sure what the valve block seals will handle, but if it really if getting that high, check the pressure relief valve. It should blow off above 180psi.

    Absolutely correct. There are loads of electrical noise sources in cars, hence why the HK Audio uses balanced audio connections & have each amplifier grounded. Most likely that car has corroded connectors in the footwells . . . where the...

    Aircraft use quality connectors not the crap tin plate connectors used on P38's. Look at LZ over time and corroded connector's crop up time and again. JLR and their predecessors are only interested in the vehicle surviving for 3 to 5 years what...

    The clicking is no doubt the result of corroded connectors somewhere and nothing to do with FMEA checks that cannot possibly show the result of 20 years plus of deterioration.

    Yes. Test it first if you can. They are available, but make sure it's the closed above 140psi type. Many are the other way round. I'm guessing you're Estonian ? Put your town name or local region in your profile !!

    +1 on that Keith. . . . it will be HEVAC motors, compressor clutch, condensor failure, SRS connector problems, heated seat failure, tired water pump, rusting steel brake lines, overheating fusebox, leaking rear-view mirror, etc, etc. ;)
  • pwood999
    Having got the arms & new bushes on the bench I tend to agree, but as I already have the new bushes will try them frozen first !!
  • pwood999
    How had the timing slipped? tensioner/belt etc. How did you lock/tome the crankshaft? Interference engine so anything less than perfect could be bad news.
  • pwood999
    Black smoke suggests it's getting fuel. Personally, I would do a compression test because if the timing slipped, there may be valve damage. You could try a squirt of Easy Start to see if it will fire.

    pwood999 replied to the thread P38A EAS question.
    Yes . . .. are you talking P38 ? For a P38 EAS It should run from zero until 140psi (or thereabouts). Then as pressure drops it starts again around 120psi. If pumping an empty system, it will stop periodically to put air into the airbags...

    Yet more rubbish statements about cause & effect from you eh ? If your head unit is disconnect, and the speaker amps are still active, then somebody has been messing with the wiring. It will let you down at some point, wherever you happen...

    You need to either Zip the file, or change the filename extension from "csv" to "txt" to upload it.

    Removed both rear trailing arms & pressed out the knackered bushes today. That bit wasn't too bad. Replacement bushes are a fraction of a mm larger. Tried chamfering one end, but my press keeps pushing them to one side. Now got them...

    The file should open in either Notepad or Excel. Nanocom CSV format is not quite correct because BBS are still using semi-colons rather than commas to separate the variables.

    Yes. BTW, as well as one of the connectors, it could also be a bulb failure in the cluster. There's two bulbs, & if one fails the other SRS light stays on.

    Any Nanocom for P38 should read the SRS system. Only the engine ECU's require unlock codes. If you want to pop up to Langley I could take a quick look. No promises on fixes though. Most likely it's a bad connection on one of the seat...

    After the engine warms up, do a recording to the SD-Card for the ECU Inputs screen. Then upload the CSV file here so we can look at the live data.

    Also you didn't state your actual issue in the titel or first post ?? Has it failed MOT on emissions, or you have CAT's with no internals & want to adjust the fuelling to pass the MOT ? P38 sensors are Pre-CAT so only tell the ECU what's...

    How long have you had the vehicle and from where did you buy it (private sale/dealership etc) ? I’m presuming in this instance you are in UK pertaining to British consumer acts

    If it's a Thor motor, the O2 sensors should flip between 0V to 1V. If it's not a Thor, then you are using the wrong Nanocom menus !! Long term adaptations should adjust over several drive cycles to get the fueling in the right ballpark. Short...

  • pwood999
    Check if the existing O2 sensors are working first. Although it usually recommended not to clean them, I've had good results in the past using carb cleaner on O2 sensors. Make sure the connectors are properly clean, as their position either...

    Well after giving me the run around for a few days I think I've got to the bottom of it. I swapped out my valve block for a re-furbed one I had on the shelf, and also cleaned up and renewed the o rings on the drier that I observed bubbling with...
