Were the glow plugs good quality ones ie Beru, NGK or the like or the cheap ones off the bay. The ones from the far east are very poor for starting as I can vouch from past experience

Didn't know that. Or rather hadn't thought about that. Makes sense. My bad!

New to me 2008 FL-2 3.2 Petrol JDM 156,000km - debugging So today, pleasant sunny day - 10-12° (C), the FL2 started it up, drove 6 km into the village (40 km/h). I came out 5 minutes later, the engine would crank but not start. As a pushbutton...

Some places have a shaker type thing that sits on a normal 4 post lift. Watched one being used once to try and find a knock. Car is shook and the fitter feels about until his touch finds the noise.

So, with the old harnesses as good as gone all the previously installed wiring went out as well. That includes the 13 pin trailer socket. The car has what looks like a genuine indicator relay to be used for towing and the rear harness has a...

They are from me 👍

I did try that, but I’ll have to have another go. From looking at the threads on immobilser issues, it doesn’t sound straightforward to find and fix those issues that the Nanocom can’t deal with.

I’m in the south Dublin suburbs.

Brilliant, thanks for the reply. Its a new battery and fully charged and was only showing 220 rpm at the first attempt. Voltage was 12.7. The crank position sensor speed reading was stable with no apparent interference/fluctuation. so I...

So, if I want to do it right, and that's what I am doing at the moment, I use the proper bullet type connectors. Autospark had those in stock, hence I ordered a ton. Turns out I need a proper crimping tool, well, the rev meter will have to wait...

Okay i didnt know that. There are definitely on the Thor

I just found out what one of the wires on the coil is / was for: that's where the added rev counter took his input from. Good news, as it is an electronic one already calibrated for 8 cylinders, all I have to do is to connect it to the coil and...

The flat steel pedal. Where would the plastic bushings be located to change them?

Lots of Landy's doing their stuff in 1965 Syfy yarn "Crack in World" about scientist who's project to use an atomic bomb to release thermal energy, of course it go's wrong. Mostly Series two hard tops to see but the Landy hero is a battered open...

Just seen this it must get above 250 rpm to start, see the battery voltage while cranking, if it drops below 10.5V it will hardly start cos it needs more to open the injectors it's in the "Outputs" menu last line... better read the user guides...

Old gal been stud for over a week whilst away on holiday. Dropped a little bit but thats just self levelling as is normal where parked. Fired up first go and straight up to normal height so tret her to a run to Sheffield to my mothers so as to...

Yes it can cos once you started it and removed the jump leads the battery voltage can drop below 10V which mixes up the ECU, injectors and sensor readings, the more the voltage drops the worst the engine will run untill it stops not working how...

Morning All. :D Raining steadily here. Wet newspaper time. :( Have a great day. :D

can you adjust the rod/flat metal on the internal pull handle to make it work?

What type of copper did you use, I'm sure normal house copper can get stress fractures, from constant vibration.

Good suggestions, Rangieman. I've had conflicting reports on the location of this amplifier (some elsewhere have told me my year (1989) should have the amp separately mounted near the coil, well away from the heat of the engine). I will find out...

I've just found this Ray Milland and others. But there are two landys at the start, one a fire engine. If anyone is interested. Only seen 10 minutes so far.

His brief has told him to simply make "no comment".
