It's not the current that is the problem, it's the 400 plus volts that can jump out and take you by surprise. I wonder if there really is a mechanical circuit breaker rather than isolation via ECU and semiconductors? -

Got mine back on the road, ended up buying sort of by accident of a mate a 11reg merc E350cdi, new for me as iv never had 3l v6 diesel, saloon, or merc or rear wheel drive. Lovely car on motorway, very quiet and RWD was fun on damp corners but...

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...

Not sure about that but I would have to talk to a pro before I tried it. The current required to propel a 2 ton brick to 60 mph in under 10 seconds must be pretty high. Wouldn't want that earthing through my socks.

One of the reasons I'll propably never get a RRC beyond the 1984 MY, a Disco 1 or a Defender past the early 80s is all the elcetrical stuff! I like those three fuses!

Ah, thise dreaded electronics! Mechanically, new cars are as good as it gets. The electronics on the other hand... One problem there and you are screwed.

Without proper training, no garage in their right minds will let one of their employees touch one of those.

A friend of mine used to have a back street garage specialising in Volvo's. It used to amuse me that the local Volvo dealership would send cars with problems they couldn't fix to him to repair.

I would say that the likelihood of self harm working on a 400 volt EV electrical system is somewhat greater than working on brakes.

I think it's just aimed at people changing a bulb on their driveway. You know.. bumper off, engine out etc to change a headlight bulb on a modern car 🙄

I'm not allowed to work on them for one powerful reason🤣 We've got to be trained for 'em... 🤷

It sounds like jealousy to me.. how dare you do something yourself.. you should pay a garage 1000s like i do

I did some math too.. on my fuel bill again.. 25.1 on the dash vs 25.3 brim2brim.. i think that's about as close as you'll get with variations on when the fuel pump shuts off etc. Very happy!! And it's still tons better since i did the gearbox...

Repairs that get you from where the crank breaks to a place you can install a new one. Very usefull when travelling to those countries, nothing you would use long term.

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...

Aircon & fridge compressors never run continuously.

However you adjust the pump angle, the final movement of adjustment must be toward the engine.

Don't mean to offend but if you don't know the difference between a brake pipe and a cable maybe best to get someone else to do the job of changing it, just saying.

I can say the compressor on mine doesn't run constantly or on Elliotts. I'm not sure if it's designed that way as to not freeze one side of the system 🤔

Could also be a blend motor problem if it's not getting cold. The aircon on the P38 is functionally no different to most other cars of the same vintage, no specific P38 knowledge needed when filling apart from the type and amount of gas.

ok i can officially say, smart alternators are stupid! bearing in mind i had fully charged the battery beforehand.. Drive to work and much of the time the voltage stayed around 12.0v, going up to 13.6 only when i took my foot off the accelerator...

Yes it’s a risk but a well calculated risk I believe 👍
