That's a load of work there, seraphin.

Did you need to get any extra cables / connections to make / keep the steering-wheel controls working?

What radio did you fit as I thought very few were easily compatible with the original controls?

Singvogel.
 
Had to get a tyre repaired because I got a bolt stuck in it driving back from the scrappy!

Manually turned on my FBH and it just blew out cold air didn't fire up.
Tried to manually turn on the fuel pump for it and realised after 10 min that I was turning on the windscreen washer pump instead!

Now I have no idea where to find the right cable to turn on the pump :(
O well! Maybe it will fix it self!
 
I was busy on my TD4 today...

Fitted the EGR bypass, put in a nice clean K&N air filter and the best of all I installed a RoverRon Synergy 2+ unit. I'd gone for the full kit which included a new MAF sensor too. Quite suprised and impressed that the kit also included fitting tools!

Apart from a hose coming lose on the first test drive (my bad for forgetting to tighten up one of the jubilee clips) the tasks were relatively easy and didn't take too long.

And the result? Mind blowing! I cannot believe what a difference to the pulling power and overall performance it's all made. It's like driving a performance saloon car. Tomorrow I'm doing a round trip of about 120 miles so will drive 'sensibly' and see what the fuel conumption is like. Hopefully an improvement as promised there too...

Nice one, Rich.

Due to the extra 'oomph' I had to uprate all of my Jubilee clips to the 13mm wide type and the one on the EGR by-pass needed a 'T'-Bolt clamp.

Enjoy tomorrows trip - let us know how if there is any change to the mpg.

Singvogel. :cool:
 
Had the air-con regassed and checked yesterday, it was getting a little noisy and gave a small hiss for a couple of seconds then went quiet, still worked fine though, when it was checked it was under half full, never been touched in 8 years, checked no leaks, regassed, quiet as a mouse and all tickety boo.... Now for the soggy cubby box in the boot....
 
doubled up the jubilee clips on my power steering reservoir and refilled with ATF.



In a futile attempt to stop it leaking before having to enevitably buy the uprated one that dunt leak :doh:

Today I fitted a twin electric kit, but I think its the wrong year kit as I couldnt find the plug to disconnect & insert the plug in loop for the reverse lights.

yes i needed a remote harness (bought from dynamic sounds in london - highly highly recommend them!!). radio is a basic alpine cd/mp3 player. bought a double din to single din dash converter from dynamic - so i now have a nice little shelf below the alpine.
 
Just received by reconned VCU and bearings from BellEngineering ...:)

Thanks for that seraphin.

I'm not well informed regards ICE, so that's good news as I hope to do something similar.

Any chance of a pic?
