Trying to get the old rot-box back in the road and I’m going to need to replace a few of the brake lines (front half I replaced with cupro-nickel a few years ago). Have you got any recommendations for an effective flaring tool which won’t brake...

My wife thought she was picking up a bargain second row seat but it was actually a rear foldaway for a CSW Puma. Has anyone got experience adapting these? They look like they might be okay one way or another but I don’t want to tear them to bits...

Yes, I feel the same way about the abilities of that Icar tester. Another thought is that the ECM is damaged, which the home p0605 has already determined, and this, along with the outdated O2 sensors, is possibly running something of a loop not...

Hopefully fixed the DW, sho nuff, one of the rubber -type tubes had shifted slightly so prolly wasn't quite on at the right place. So just go to take a side panel off in order to tie-wrap the waste pipe to where it was before, (which I forgottid...

Still dreich here but played about in the garden Low on compost now but CBA to go to Wickes.

Thanks for response, I've lubricated the parts I'd worked on and they're all very smooth in operation, but I've not yet removed the adjusting hex nut which holds back the spring and washers.. I'm looking for a little reassurance that when I do...

Beautiful this time of year

I'd change the aux belt at the same time, it can't have liked having to work so hard. Gates or simla.

I'll put you a good word in ;) :D

Nookers live ont telly. Bbc2. Yer can watch other matches on catch up between programs. 4 of me jigsaw cuts have bin cuttid. 2 to draw un cut. Nuvva magpie failed to eat me wurms from the feeder. They poop on the floor when dangling at funny...

And when they do look they'll probably find something/anything.

Looks like Easterhouse to me 🤪

I don't know either, but your plan sounds sensible. Did you lubricate it when you put it back together? I'd imagine that dry/oil/grease would give different results.

+1 on that. Looking at the videos & info out there, $h1tpart basically took a generic OBD reader, and got a 3rd party to make it look like an LR diagnostic. The "coverage" is vague at best, and after a few years they charge annual...

Dunno if you've left yet, but is the MiL's wand hollow?

The motors are hard to find. For the pots, I used these from eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172890189265 Mostly it's dry solder joints on the PCB, or aging of the connector contacts that plugs into the HEVAC. I had to replace many of the...

Modern cars are great and all that, but you can't beat a good old fashioned pressure guage!

Good luck with your treatment. My mate is just getting over bowel cancer.

Last time i saw an engine bay like that was after changing my oil and filter at work on YFO and when i got home, about ten miles later noticed some wiffs of smoke from under the bonnet. i opened it and found the bay covered in oil because i'd...

Apologies for this question from a non mechanical person but I am having issues with my Series III. The landy starts but when I release the ignition key the engine cuts out. If I hold the key on, the engine will run and can be revved but as soon...

Twas just a quick glance though. 5 wires it is thanks. His were lovely and quiet when testing them all post repair, we didn't know if his pot was OK but it was on the nano so just a dead motor. Mine make quite nasty crunchy noises when testing...

Unsurprisingly, for me at least, the MIL and wife did not expect it, the series fired straight up, didn’t even need a jump and other than the transfer box didn’t need any fluids. So I call that a result having been sat since before son was born...

IMO you are just chasing your tail as long as you dont replace the injector seals to rule them out cos those are the prime suspects for the symptom you described..... as it was mentioned few times by more of us

I don't think the icarsoft is an exact match for your diag requirements matey 🤔

That may be the case but you won’t be able to convert the engine without modifying the engine mounts on the chassis. Therefore altering the chassis and making it different from the v5. Unless you can make up some very intricate engine mounts to...

The o2 sensors should waver. The pré cat o2 sensors reflects the oxygen rate being lowered and raised to boost the cats efficiency. The post o2 sensors when fitted reflect the cats ability to react to the oxygen levels when burning the gasses off. 👍

Hi all, Random one for you. I recently acquired a norbar 4r torque wrench.. It was bent and needed the ratchet replacing, all of which I've dealt with. Using length x weight I can see it needs calibrating as it breaks about 15% early. I want to...

You must have something wrong with how you are measuring them ? The O2 sensors can only swing from 0V to 5V !! 320V is not normally possible. If they did reach this voltage, it would explain the GEMS ECU failure !!

So, up lateish, (although it is Sunday) About to attack the dishwasher, AGAIN!. :( The test was going so well last night that we started preparing dinner. Then I heard a funny noise come from it and moments later clear water started coming out...
