Update: So I replaced the maf and it did make a noticeable difference, even better after a clean it now sits around 48-50 on idle. If this one ever packs up il make sure I get a new one but for now I'm happy. Last Saturday wasn't such a good day. After swapping the fuel pump last week the high...

If you look at my project thread I just found out the maf was dead with a zero reading on live data. I bought a second hand unit from the scrappy for £20 it made an instant improvement with smoothness and low down grunt felt stronger. It was reading around 40.2 on idle after a quick clean with...

When my front axle gave up and I drove with the centre diff engaged all sorts of awful noises from the drive train appeared especially when changing gear as in when power was taken away it stopped and also these noises continued for a couple of days after it was fixed I do honestly think I wound...

Do you think you might of wound up your transmission also is your handbrake releasing fully?

My oil pressure switch wiring is also damaged and it hasn't effected the abs light.

I'm getting a flat spot between 2100-2500rpm on live data on my solus pro its showing the wastegate opening up to 40% why is this? Then it closes at 2500rpm I'm confused

Nice one hopefully then I might regain some performance as its as flat as a pancake right now :-) edit: I just unplugged the maf and cleared the codes and in live data the phantom readings have disappeared it just reads 0 like when it's plugged in. Does a new maf really make a big difference in...

So the ckp turned up today horrible little fiddly job went to start it still nothing :-( so got a fuel pump swapped it over it took an eternity of cranking with the foot hard down but eventually it started and after a few minutes of what sounded like air clearing in the system it keeps...

I thought so if it turns out to be fuel pump the bearmach it is. Thanks CambridgeCockney :-) Bennehboy I live in Rossendale but I can't move the car. Can I take the ecu out and plug it into another car and run the diagnostics that way?

Cheers mate happy new year! I just ordered a new intermotor crank sensor I'm going to fit the non return valve today and look for someone to reprogram this spare ecu. Can anyone advise on why a Bearmach fuel pump is £60 yet a VDO is £200? My local land rover specialist said they dont fit...

Dieseldog, maybe now is your time to shine :-) Sorry chaps but I'm going to have to add to the recent chain of non starting td5 threads :-( Last night I drove to my mums house which is about 20 miles away when I set off a couple of hours later I set off home got half a mile down the road and the...

It gets in my local asda, ikea, tesco the only place it struggled was lightcraft in Oldham and mediacity multiple story car park it hit the barrier so I had to reverse out.

No I can't get in some car parks, i don't know exactly how tall it is though you will want extended brake pipes too

Cheers mate, no it had mods when I got it. All I have added is wheels and arches, stuff that broke though so far stands at:- turbo, front axle, front prop, idler pulley, fan belt. :-) (edit: 9.1.15) fuel pump, dodgy ckp, oil in injector loom, knackered battery,

I have supergaz 2" lift and on the road it's very firm but off road it takes a good beating and seems to cope well with it. Cheap too about £220 I think

Uj's on the front prop shaft made my car shake at certain speeds it could be worth a look.

Haha never a truer word said :-)

Thanks chaps! It does have a hard life though, I bought it in August and so far put 10k miles on it! To list its faults from now they are: Ringing Bell sound 2-2500rpm very annoying. 3-4 gear selection a bit notchy (think it needs adjusting) Knocking noise front drivers side when going over...

Give it a good tug towards yourself they are quite vague, mine always takes a few goes.

Nice project mate :cool2:
