CX after my testing days Alan.

There isn't a Mk2 or E Type Jag on the planet that will pass the MOT Tapley hand brake test. I used to just park them on the hill going onto the.garage car park. If it did not roll it passed.

There is a special tool that sets the seal about 3/16" inboard of the flange lip. When I did mine I made one in my lathe. But seal can be fitted slightly deeper or shallower to miss groove in flange. But if you have a new flange that won't be required. Important thing is to get seal in square...

Does not matter when old one runs out it has been tested and failed so is illegal to drive on road. Until it gets a pass.

No i mean that someone who has been doing MOTs for 37 years has never tested a perminent four wheel drive vehicle before. Possible I suppose but highly unlikely. He obviously should not be testing vehicles.

Time he retired then and i find that very hard to believe.

Obviously a modern day NVQ auto technician who seem to be in general bloody clueless. A full emergency stop using a transmission brake is a sure fire way to snap an halfshaft.

I take by back you mean pressure head. Very easy to change the o'ring if you know what you are doing and have the correct tooling. And follow the correct procedure. You do not remove it you back it off just enough to get at o'ring. Pump MUST be set on full cam or spacer washer in pump behind...

Doors cannot superlock with battery disconnected.

Yep a typo corrected it.:D

I can understand someone fitting a M51 and manual box in a Gems car. All you need to do is change BECM settings and looms. But an engine the systems can't talk to would be a total pain in the arse.

You are living in a land of dreams.

You cannot disable the engine immobiliser. Only the passive immobiliser can be disabled.

I reported it years ago possibly before Nanocom went on sale to the general public but they don't appear to have changed anything. As said if you know about it it doesn't matter. That is why i always say if you get one learn how to use it before diving deep into anything.

The GEMS has a different method of ECM to BECM sync than the Thor and diesel have. On the Thor and diesel a security code is stored in the ECM ( It cannot be changed in the ECM) when the ignition is switched on the security code stored in the BECM is compared to the code in the ECM, if they...

Ok but i do know that early on if you tried to alter temp controls selecting left changed right and selecting right changed left. No problem if you know about it i suppose.

Could be. Nanocom has problems with right and left on Hevac. Was reported to BBS very early on but they seem to have done nothing about it.

Jack the axle put stands under chassis then use Jack on axle to adjust up or down as needed.

The wires from where the height sensors plug into them on each corner go direct to the EAS ECU. They have no other connection through any plug and socket. So the only thing that can cause a sensor fault is the sensor itself, connection sensor to wire or connection to ECU. Providing the ECU is...

No it wouldn't.
