    Underpowered disco auto and black smoke

    so if you drove it with no hoses attached and it was the same i suspect the turbo may not be spinning up, with the hoses off see if you can spin the turbo with your finger (engine off)

    Auto box oil change or not?

    the reason there is confusion is this faq from ashcrofts. Ashcroft Transmissions "I have a 4 speed ZF Auto and it sticks in first gear in the morning or when cold and is reluctant to change up from 1st gear. Once the gearbox has warmed up it shifts normally. Why? The governor valve is...

    discover 300tdi EDC fuel pump resistor mod

    what you really need to do is look at the wiring layout in a haynes and check you have got the right pins on the ecu. you could also check you have a liner resistor and not a logarithmic one and that it is working by checking with an ohm meter.

    0 ohms it will be rough 1000 Ohms you will not notice any difference some where in between will be the sweet spot.

    300tdi Auto box problems

    to test the sensor attach a multimeter to the top connection and the body set it to OHM's it should read infinity then warm up the end of the sensor and the resistance should drop to almost 0 OHM's. Don't know what temp it should change at but i would of thought less then 100 C so boiling water...

    there is a temp sensor in the oil cooler pipe, it might be worth taking it out and checking it works, also check the over temp light is working.

    Twin tank WVO set up

    the taxation page is out of date but all the other info is good and i think a must read if you want to run veg or bio its a good basis to further research/testing. Things are always moving on so if you are interested in keeping up to date you would be best to join the veg forum listed in my sig.

    Twin tank WVO set up

    i have heated and settled for 24 hours a 100l batch of wvo, drained off the water and any cloudy oil, i have then pumped it to the processor, I then heated to 100Deg C for 2 hours while pumping and bubbling and condensed off another 1.5L of water. simple heating and settling will not remove all...

    Twin tank WVO set up

    your water removal filter will only remove free water, it won't remove any water that has been absorbed by the wvo, the only way to get that out is to heat it.
