They don't turn faster, the mapping doesn't accept the engine has started until a slightly higher rpm.

Not the crank bolt, the cam bolt. Could have sworn I typed cam. I'll edit it.

To be fair I do have hot start fitted. You reset the static timing on the FIP as per RAVE but also you need to reset the cam bolt (need to use a new one as it is a stretch bolt) using a shim under the camshaft holding tool. A decent battery and...

I imagine that the software is contained in the logic board, otherwise it would have been sufficient to replace the power board with subsequent software respecting the low/highline of the BECM. it would be too easy and everyone would do it🤣

Yeah, the ones I got (put a forward facing one in the front bumper at wading depth) were supposed to be waterproof but conked out in the first river crossing. They did come back online when they dried out but a few more dunkings and the front one...

I'd have to try and find the paperwork. It was years ago and prices are way cheaper now. Pretty sure it was a Sony bullet cam of sone sort. It was good quality for the time but tines have moved on.

Most people do!

I mounted the camera in the tailgate light section above the two-bar. Very useful for towing. I have a standalone screen on the dash but have to fold it flat for the MoT test. Possibly the sat-nav unit might be repurposed if you have one. I...

That sounds about right. Must have been using up stock. Mine was built May 1995 iirc.

mine was registered in March 1995 but the Becm production date was December 1994. In previous messages I was referring to the fact that in an old discussion Rick the Pick advised not to disable the EKA (perhaps he was referring to the previous...

AA were the same with me. Now with Auto Aid but never had to use them.

My chains are original at nearly 180000 miles, let alone kilometres, and they show no signs of wear still. Had a look when I had the cylinder head off a few weeks back.

Spare parts are starting to arrive, I immediately compared the new chains with the old ones: here is the situation 30 years and 186,000 km later. I actually suspect it was changed because it has little stretch and there was putty in some places...

maybe it just needs an italian tune-up to clear out the cats.. and the system in general

I've got a syringe with a bit of tube over the end and the needle fitted in the other end of that tube. Great for sucking diesel out of the injector Wells.

Mine's a '95 and my version is 36, I think. Marty and I went through a stack of BECMs once and came to the conclusion that only early 1994 models have the earlier software.

You are correct that on pre V36 EKA cannot be entered via Nanocom. However as far as I know, if the Immobiliser function is set to off, EKA should never be needed because as I said, mobilisation becomes an automatic function. In the unlikely...

Replaced the b*st*rd leak off pipe to #1. Seems cutting the end off lasted about a day. Those leak off pipes appear to be single use and harden in the heat. Once fitted you can't disturb them without having to replace them. Cleaned the engine...

Poor and happy like me. Little traffic where I am, no VED on my 4 vehicles, low council tax, lots of space around me, better weather, what's not to like?

Rear pads changed. Front ones have loads of meat left. Unfortunately the rain stopped me bleeding them. The Met Office app fails again. I've had enough of lying on my back in the cold and wet. It can damn well wait.

That we saw 20yr ago.... 😳 No plans on returning either.. I'd rather be here with next to nothing in my pocket than return to the uk to having everything to hand... And the growing issues. My brother keeps offering me a nicely payed job with a...

Mine's stuck at 12V so that makes sense. Rain stopped play, today. Had enough of getting cold and wet so came back inside.

I think you're better off staying in France. UK is going to the dogs.

valve processing with abrasive paste. On the left, unmachined seats and valves, on the right, seats and valves ground with coarse and fine abrasive paste. Good night

Correct. They refer to the Nanocom output rather than the physical CDL and Key switches themselves. Like I say, some sort of logic is being performed somewhere. Why the door ajar switch is required to work, I don't know. Years ago I seem to...

Unfortunately motivation was lower then planned today but did both front cv boots, Rear droplinks, And dropped it off for mot and hope for the best,

That is correct and describes what is in the tables. Two columns are with the key turned and two are with the key in the centre but locked or unlocked.

Normally Closed and Normally Open.

NC and NO?

Fiddled with it. Got cold. Let it be.
