Creality Ender 3 KE and PETG, took a while to get the parameters right but now seems good, I might try with nylon later

Well I finally got around to creating the CAD file and 3D printed the little rascals!

This weekend I continued with the work, after having assembled the sump and the oil pump, I positioned the lower part of the chain and sprockets then timing protection casing, I tightened the crankshaft bolt to the expected RAVE brute force, then...

So it is immobilised.

I just took all the Adobe 4 files and pasted them into the RAVE folder so it kept working when I moved from XP to whatever, how ever many years ago that was!

No big pothole?

Spent some time of the car today. Changed the diff oil on both ends (concrete floors are fecking cold fyi), some Heko wind deflectors fitted as I think they look cool. ….aaaand started to try and fix the leaky bits when it rains. Silicone...

Had a play with 300 bhp / ton?

I think you need to read section S3 in the electrical troubleshooting section of RAVE to fresh your memory. Locking with the key or fob activates the alarm, the perimeteic monitoring and immobilises the car.

Today im preparing my D3 for a trip to NSW national parks . There will be mild off road experience but plenty of flora and forna . I think im luckey where i live ( a small costal village near Bundaberg Qld Austrlia) ther is a surfing beach 100...

So's mine. First port of call for electrical gremlins.

Went for a random drive in it for a bit and just enjoyed it just because I could, im just so glad to have it back, Hopefully give it a decent clean tomorrow its still got paw prints all over the back seats from before mot ran out and its sat with...

And get the alternator to lug around with you, and a belt ...

My RAVE just worked on my Win 11! Just thought I'd try it and voila! That made me happy No idea why

better

Fixed!!! Crikey !!! Ignition comes on!!! Keys work!!!!!

Omg!! There is progress!!! But The frigging rf receiver is not near the sunroof it's near the tailgate!! Never mind! It's replaced and now i go through and test the keys. Green all the way!! Add both new keys... Key 1 successfully programmed...

Didn't do it when I came home. Could be luck but more likely a sign of something on its way out. Wait till it is consistent, I guess

As opposed to locking it to immobilise it.

If you lock the car you immobilise it. If you unlock it but don't put the key in the ignition within how ever many seconds it immobilises itself unlock you press the fob - that's the passive immobilisation that is disbaled by the setting in the...

To be fair the battery must be nearly ten years old by now. Platinum battery - excellent.

Hope it's not cooking the battery 🤯 more likely it's just not charging enough/at all

My CDL is fine but the right key switch isn't. So it doesn't know the key is turning. Oddly, the original key #2 started working again after fiddling the BECM settings and then clearing RF memory. Key #4, a replacement, is having none of it. No...

Today's fault on turning the key: ALTERNATOR FAULT! FFS. Will check battery voltage when I get home. If that is OK, maybe I can get away with just replacing the gubbins in the top of the alternator?

Nice, you've done something that 99% of those models and their drivers have never done 👍

I don't know if you can see it sort of hanging down from my tailgate in the middle, below and between the E and R? Screen still has the pkastic protector on but gives an idea of quality.

Rimmer Bros sell the cam bolt. If you search my recent posts on coolant pressure I think I put the part number somewhere.

I think this is where I got my camera but frankly I don't think they are worth the money. https://www.reversingcamerasuk.com/flush-bumper-bullet-reversing-cameras.html

Ah, I misunderstood - so if the camera goes kaput - it still works as an ordinary reflective mirror?

I begin to suspect autocorrect. I sure as hell didn't mention crankshaft holding tool as there isn't one in the timing tool kit!
