Jack it under the axle & put axle stands under. Then height sensors are easy even on the bumps. As others said get some schrader valves as well. Then you can raise it up, while fixing the pump.

Will box them up this weekend & calculate postage. Truro is a bit far from Langley to pop over !!

Er actually you don't just take it, you respond at excessive length to the slightest comment or opinion. You also did the same on the other forum, when anybody mentioned fuel economy, even though your first post on here and there mentioned it...

@iSanttu Might be worth putting this AC issue into a separate thread. Do you know if they used the correct quantity of R134a ?

If the AC pipes are properly hot & cold, also check the Aspirator fan next to the clock, plus the Evaporator & Heater Core sensors. Evap sensor is pushed into the right side of the heater box near the bulkhead. Heater core sensor is clipped...

Try running it with the air filter cover removed. That way crankcase fumes cannot get in to the inlet. Also try running with disconnected EGR & intercooler hoses. That way you can eliminate turbo seals leaking. Basically your dividing the...

Washing up liquid as a last resort.

You said you’ve been on this forum a while. Clearly you know it all so go else where please.

@blue beasty do you think this thread could be shifted to AG or deleted or summat, as members of the public looking in might maybe get the wrong end of the stick as to how things are on here when genuine people ask genuine questions for genuine...

Actually the "157,213 to 1" was simply based on the fact that no one on this forum seems to know the answer, and that is the number of forum members !! There was absolutely nothing in that post either negative or positive towards anyone, not...

Also check the fuel hoses on the high pressure pump, plus the pump itself for any signs of leaks. They are hard to see under the inlet manifold, so use a mirror & torch.

Yes the filters do get clogged up. A tired pump usually impacts drivability as well as starting. But you said you replaced it, so it should be ok. When parked uphill, turn the ignition on without starting until the glow plug light goes out...

Then do it & report the result.

Google AI finds a few different cars that used the same name !! This one is no different. I'm sure there's others?

I have asked the Mods for you.

FYI, I stopped commenting about fuel once you made that clear. My other posts were about the energy required to keep the car moving. In principle agreeing with your theory about less engine wear, but the oil pressure question at lower RPM...

Just in case I'm still ignoring.

Yes back-probed the connector, and did continuity tests on the wiring, plus checked voltages at the ECU end.

Having gone through similar recently, I suspect we have the same issue with injectors. In my case the low temp was solved with a new thermostat - PITA but done. Our 2004 FL1 was smokey all the time, so did all the following: Checked & cleaned...

There's already a place for it. Yes it needs sanitizing to remove the non-informational posts, but most stuff it there.

Can't remember if you said you have a Nanocom or not ? If you do, then it should be easy do get the GEMS how you need it, before building the other vehicle.

That looks like the flywheel teeth for the starter ? Others may correct me, but in there should be clean & dry.

Three different gear boxes and four different diffs for my race car for different circuits.

Taller gearing would make 1st gear close to your current 2nd gear not the way round you state.

But are the drive shafts the same as the diesel may produce more torque and so have heftier half shafts.

The AS10 is the alarm & fob decoder, etc for car that use it. It has to do the same job as the BECM does with GEMS. Looking at the Nanocom guide for it, it appears to have better accessibility to the features including the GEMS Immob code...

Remember they tend to leak under the folds, so do the soapy water check at various heights. For the schrader valves, although I don't use them much, I did when rebuilding my engine a while back just raise & lower the car manually. One thing I...

Unfortunately the P38 Nanocom doesn't show the GEMS immobilisation code, so it's probaby gotta be a bench job. The Nanocom has the Lucas AS10 option for cars that use it, which appears to show the code, but it would need someone with an AS10 &...

More likely the opposite airbag lifted a bit with whatever air was left in it. There's no crosslink valves on a P38. All four airlines go directly to the valve block. There's a known issue caused by leaking exhaust that melts the rear...
