Morning update and plans for the weekend.
Got the keys working thanks to Grrrrrr. They do however seem to sometimes just not want to unlock remotely. Sort of working sporadically
Secondly it's in dire need of a thermostat, it's running really cool and only getting to temp up hill. Hopefully that'll regain some MPG and be better for the engine. Hoping it's actually got a thermostat in it
Thirdly it feels like it can't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Some fairly steep but by no means extreme hills up to my house and I'm just loosing speed. On the flat it feels okay
Going to do a lift pump flow rate test, change fuel filter, check the turbo wastegate isn't seized and double check all the boost pipe unions etc. Map hose is definitely connected to the manifold as I found that on the first drive.
It's been sat for 3+ Years, and prior to that done next to no mileage in the last ten years under the ownership of a fairly old boy. So I doubt it's stretched it's legs in a long time.
+ the usual oil and filter change for both gearbox and engine.
