Sounds fine, pls level the coolant cool before replacing the cap. Two spring clips on the cowl top cover, but another two slidy ones to detach the lower cowl, raise it a few cm and then it will cone off its lower lugs and you can hang it over the fan. You will also need to detach the heart to do...

So Julien, what do you know about the PO? DId they replace the BECM at some point? If you have the right EKA the car should accept it via Nano. I have use the nano several times to re-enable my 4.6 (mainly experimenting with what difference the settings make) but the conclusion is that was...

Well, 30 mins may be over-doing it, but the point is to stop pressing buttons, open the door and leave the system to pressurise to be 100 pc sure before conclduign that stuff is broken/ needs fixing

Maybe you did, but leave a door open and the engine running for 30 mins, then see if it will lift.... Don't panic and expect it to lift straight away

I vote rad, probably blocked... try and back flush it. Some of your symptoms also sound like you may not have fully bled the Air/ left the right gap in the coolant system. But fix the rad first. My 4 6 did exactly what you described when I got it. A post mortem on the rad revealed the...

Go into it expecting a full overhaul and you can only be pleasantly surprised. If it needed top hat liners it would have either been done or scrapped by now. I have 4.0 from 4 years old, fairly regularly serviced never missed a beat. My 4.6 I had for the last 4 years, and I needed to do HGs soon...

OP's over 50 posts now, so....mission accomplished. What were you trying to sell? Something interesting I hope

Yes, I have a regular kenwood stereo and then bought bought an adapter harness, with an extension for using the steering wheel controls too. I think I posted dets on rr.net at the time, but if you're interested I can poke around in my receipts folder

Maybe this is unwelcome advice, but fit an aftermarket stereo and never have to worry about all that BS ever again - and you can have an upgraded stereo with bluetooth for not v much money. there's enough to go wrong on these babies without being locked out of a 25 yo cassette player too

The heads had gone and mine and I used a set of irwin bolt remover sockets and an impact wrench...or if you have access to a welder you cd tack a hex head onto the old bolt, or a die grinder to take the head off....

Just unscrews

It's a v8, right? My compressor was also leaking from the same seal, but worse than yours - even then the ac went a year between recharges...but i eventually replaced the compressor to have a permanent fix. If you put a 9v battery across the clutch you can see if the clutch engages (and air...

So, what's the deal then Pete? Fully charged system but the clutch does not engage?

Airtex

First of all the air gap probably got screwed up when the temp spiked (unless you refilled after that). Dumping coolant can just be a function of that, it doesn't have to be a major problem.... Then you have the fan (newspaper/ water pump (is the coolant coming through the bleed hose to the...

072 works fine on a GEMS V8 if the car electrics are in good order and you upgrade the VR.

Who mentioned a passive alarm? We don't have one. The passive immobiliser is what is turned off in nanocom when you set immobiliser to "disabled" - the point is only that the disable option does not disable the entire immobilisation system, it just stops the vehicle immobilising itself in...

It's been a while since i went and did all the testing/ analysis, but agreed - you cannot disable the EKA once the engine is disabled. On the other hand, even with EKA disabled you can still use the nano to enter the EKA code if you want (i didn't test the door lock/ unlock EKA method in that...

I think i have those RTG ones. Not had a problem in 2 yrs
