I'm a bit busy until about 1pm today but I'll happily plug in my nano after that to see what I get if no one pipes up meantime. @Grrrrrr

Key switch should toggle 0v-12v when turning the key, i.e. 12V with key in centre, and ground when you turn the key. CDL should be 12V when door is locked (switch open), and Ground when door is unlocked. This way the BECM knows if you are...

That Citroen C4 has a wet belt. What a nightmare that is. My line manager has one. Heap of ****.

What caused that, I wonder? Has anyone touched the crankshaft bolt on the front of the engine? That has to be done up 'kin tight or the oil pump won't be driven.

Hi, I recently brought home a 1995 P38 2.5 diesel, taken from an old gentleman in my town for little money. The car had engine problems, arrived home by truck. A picture of the negotiation, concluded at €1000 (approximately £830). I immediately...

That 2015 diesel engine in the Jaguar snapped chains for fun. Ford engine, I think. Ingenium?

I'd rather a belt than a chain compared to the last ten years of poor efforts in engines 😢

Hi all, Having put the engine back together, neither keys will sync. Earlier today I got the Nonocom out and had a play. Tried clearing RF memory - nothing. I even tried triggering the locks with the Nanocom rather than using the key ion the...

Anything on that head I just use my fingertips!

So did I once, an LS400 they were cheap but, in the last couple of years prices have gone silly and, I was put off with it having a cam belt instead of a timing chain.

I'd like to if the ****er would just run for a few weeks without any issues. Lexus RX350 looking very tempting.

NSR brake now binding. It is bloody relentless. For £2.5k I'd probably throw in the scrapper as well.

Even though the connectors on the fuse box all looked good, I'm wondering if i should give each connector a spray with contact cleaner and refit? I'm betting it doesn't take much for diagnostics to decide it sometimes can't communicate..

Almost all torque settings are in RAVE and there are generic ones in there to cover anything they miss. Sometimes it puts a value in the section text but sometimes you have to check the section at the start.

Been doing other jobs distracting me from the car (that I was dreading) but here's the update. Milliput failed due to frosty weather not letting it set and lack of plusgas (for fear it would stop the Milliput sticking) so the Milliput popped off...

Neither of my keys will sync now. Central locking works though. All very strange. Might be the central microswitch, I guess. I'll have a play with the Nonocom when I get a spare moment.

It's probably mineral wool based as that's good for sound and heat insulation. Many eu/uk car manufacturers were phasing out asbestos in early 90s. From what I've read.

Normally you get the screwdriver up the side and rotating teh screwdriver side to side is enough to free it off.

I stuck your kit on my watch list, that how i had the link👍:vb-biggrin:

For new keys, it is go to JLR dealer and they order you a new one pre programmed for a lot of money or have a chat with classic rides north wales who can sort out a clone key which is probable your best bet, there was a guy on here @MrSporty who...

nope, sorry my mistake... 50nm for an 8mm into aluminium is asking for it😵

Anything attached to that ally head you just tease tight using your fingertips. It is as soft as cheese. The block is more solid but still don't put your weight on it.

There’s not a lot of room. Get your hand in there with scraped knuckles. Can slide sheet of cardboard down there so you don’t ding the rad

Thin Alloy sheet also works.

Used a Freelander exhaust heat-shield, folded and cut to size. Seems to work. All finished today and seems to be fine. Put the pressure guage on it but nothing really registered, so I think it runs at very few psi at all when working properly!

Good new year cheer to yourself too Keith, As reliable as Diesel Jag X types can be yes! I hope all is well with yourself and work on your property in France is keeping you well out of mischief! What Ho Fella, That gif did make me chuckle, I am...

Most sensors are metric fine. So 1.25 pitch sounds right.

Put it this way, if you don't drive it for a year they rust out from within and block the exhaust. Use it daily and probably not an issue.

Head back on yesterday and everything back on. Just need to take the cam cover back off today and do the final turn on the head bolts. Having been promised Mahle it was another bloody Reinz one in the box. I'd better not be doing this again in...

But if i didn't have to constantly fix something i might comfort eat and get fat with all the money I've not spent. See, land rovers are good for your health 🤣
