Gently tap the starter on it's largest bit the motor housing. I mean gently ! Alloy can break. The Relay can be bridged if you have RAVE then look up the starter relay. You can get the solenoid feed from the relay. This should if bridged give you voltage at the starter, use a meter or test...

I too checked everything three times before I went for it. But I had proof of the parts and you could see the newness of them as well. Then as yours a couple of months then minor problems. Over the years more. I would buy a L322 and hope it was better. comes with an inhaler for the diesel engine...

How often do you do a oil change ? Really long oil changes on stop start engines tend to get more carbon build up. City or Rural. I changed oil in half the time they stated and filter of course. We had a Rover in and it had the top engine in from Honda and it was rattling like a good one. Wynns...

Had a conversion with another over the BeCM. Seems there are some right diabolical merchants with the white hot soldiering iron around. I must flag up my regards to the Brighton man :) Straight forward and Ex REME as well. Arte et Marte. Sorry to the bootneck as well from a pongo. I too had the...

Latest, made contact with a certain person on the south coast and the BeCM and ECU are going for test. Thanks to all that have suggested things, I will include a full debrief when "It's Alive and the Bloody Minded Works is going again. I had my inner alarm going off, where to send it ;)

I had a total Mum rage incident over these bull bars. So after that I took off the ones I had and sold them to someone else.I found they created noise from vibrations. Seems someones always got a bee under the bonnet. I agree, that if you stand in the path of a vehicle then wear a rabbit suit...

He is very helpful and knows loads. Auto-Tec workshop photos Kings Lynn. I will be talking to him soon as he wants to know why my P38 isn't working. Also I have found a guy in Rugby that gets parts made by a firm called Flag in Germany HOME - www.diydieselshop.com I have bought some parts from...

You can make up a set of chocs that have a hole in the side and through it place a large wide cable tie and piece of cloth on the ali rim and secure them to the wheel. This will prevent them slipping. A large lump of wide joist made into a triangle slope or a metal one similar to the one in the...

I have the same, bloody cat did it. climbing the screen and slipped taking out the foam, I thought of using a piece of that expanded ali from a Body & paint shop. Cut it to size then spray it matt black. When I get the P38 up and running again that it. Going to Brum I started to get the noise...

When you run wires, try to keep them away from any devices or the body where they might wear through and short. If you use black wire on the positive, go and get a roll of red tape or use a red touch up paint stick to dot along the wire. This way you cannot get them mixed. Everywhere seems to...

Thanks for the number I tried it a couple of times, found a guy in King's Lynn and the two of us are baffled. Thanks for the number, I may still need to use it.

Apologies for the lengthy delay, had this flu going around. Just got back into the thing. The immobiliser link was coming up on the nanocom so I have checked the connection from the BeCM to Engine ECU this goes through a plug under the expansion tank (Diesel) I have ohm checked and also used a...

Thanks for the suggestions. open to any future ones, but the story so far.....In a galaxy not so far away... sorry for the delay, fip is at fault. For the future the air gap as per BMW is 1mm. I remembered I had got the BMW CD's a while ago and looked up the engine as a M50 which was as close...

Not many I would trust with the comments by locals. I am from London and thought this guy is someone I knew back then.

As per my early diesel days, bleeding a system is a simple as electrical fault finding. I was always told to bled up to the pump, then open up a bled screw on the pump (I cannot see one), then with the ignition on, open the return to see fuel going back to the tank. Whilst cranking, open...

Looked at it, covered in Bird turd. so wiped off the worst. getting down, it's just sitting there. Got loads to do and been stripping down an old transit injection pump, to see how it all works and whether I can change the dammed thing back to common sense diesels. Learned a lot from the pump...

Right misfires on petrols I can deal with, You say it's on Cyl 8 and it happens on both fuels. Have you done a compression test ? MAF sensor is that linked into a LPG system ? I presume this is a fully digitised ignition system, in which case no distributor. As on the classics they suffered from...

:confused: So I need someone to tell me if a CKP sensor is giving out the right output at cranking. 1200ohms tells me the coil in theory is good, but I have been misled before. The AC Volts at fast cranking is only 0.6v and I think that's a bit low. Faults shown were low fuel flow = replaced...

XXXXX For future reference a engineering supplies company or a plumbing supplies they are 8mm 5/16th and I thought they were loose on the pipe but they tighten up. You should use new nuts as well. My pump came fully kitted out. My old nuts were tired :D

As a RAC patrol we carried these testers on board, Sykes Pickavant was the company. It does test the pressure cap with the right adaptors. Since leaving the RAC I have used the pressure cap with tyre valve and a foot pump used as a chest expander (mind your nipples !) You do not need to over...
