    Crankshaft Position Sensor tester - for free!

    That is a useful program. The wavefore shows distortion due to the AC nature of the MIC input on the PC. However, the pulses are clear enough to see the sensor is working, more or less. I say more or less because you can not determine the pulse width from this trace. One thing that is...

    At last some play time

    Well, got the opportunity last night to go and do an hours laning with three other offroaders. Included a bit of training for possible response work. We drove a lane near Biddistone. I guess it was about a mile long. Got to the end and drove back. The significants of this was this was the...

    Hub Nut won't come off

    And that is one mother of a torque wrench as well so consider if it would be cheaper to get the garage involved.

    L-Series idling too fast at times

    Crickey, he's a brame man. The pump is a pain to get set up straight, and if there are other problems with the engine as well then I'm surprised it runs at all. I would recommend that the CPS is replaced just to rule it out. Its a lot easier to replace than the fuel pump. Other sensors to...

    L-Series idling too fast at times

    Well, it isn't the MAF sensor as it doesn't have one. Most likely possibility is the throttle position sensor, which is known to go AWOL at times. Does he have the air con on at the time? If I'm parked with my air con on and I just give enough throttle to bring the engine off idle then as the...

    TD4 sudden death

    Low pressure pump is where my bet is. However, does the TD4 have a lamda sensor? Why have an oxygen sensor on an engine that runs lean by design?

    What MPG do you get from your Flander

    I was getting around 34MPG in my L series. Last weekend I removed the Tunit II box. The fuel gauge must be stuck now, or its using no fuel, I get back to you on the figures I'm now getting but it might take a few weeks.

    How many of you guys run mondo mode??

    Don't go with this. My Hippo puts 180 foot pound down to the road. If there is loose gravel about I can get scrabbling in 4WD. In 2WD it scrabbled without trying. Therefore 2WD is not for me. Oh and I am a very proficient driver and I have to manage the power delivery carefully for a...

    How many of you guys run mondo mode??

    As I said, different models have different pressures. I run 195s. However, it is possible to experiment with the pressures to get a better drive. Increasing tyre pressures will reduce fuel consumption but it will also affect traction and handling, both of which affect safety, so this must be...

    I've lost me afterburner!!

    How does the car drive? Is it lively and fast or slower than a stunned slug? If it isn't leaking fuel then its got to be burning it and burning it right. Therefore, either you've got some kind of tuning module fitted or something else is wrong. For example, if the engine coolant sensor to...

    How many of you guys run mondo mode??

    If you want a front wheel drive car then why have you bought a Landrover? I've tried mondo mode and its pants. The car handles so much better in 4WD. Get your tire pressures right and its good on fuel as well. I run at 31PSI instead of 30PSI and it makes a lot of difference. Different...

    I've lost me afterburner!!

    Well, if your engine is over fueling then there would be black smoke evident from the exhaust. For a guide, mine only smokes for a few seconds during cold start up and no more. If you have a diesel leak then you will smell it. Diesel doesn't vapour off as badly as petrol so you will find the...

    I've lost me afterburner!!

    Was out at the weekend. Went out in the sticks with daughter and in-laws for a walk and a bit of fresh air. When it was time to come home I pulled out on the main road straight onto and up a hill. About half a mile down hill was a lorry hoofing his way up. I pulled out, floored it and...

    I've lost me afterburner!!

    I wonder how many of those 10,000 odd posts you've made just say 'Burn it'? I'm sure a simple script to search and delete those posts would save so much disk space on the server. Tis getting a bit boring now Bob.....

    I've lost me afterburner!!

    Thought about that Ming. The thing is I don't know what would happen if the unit was connected or disconnected when the engine is running. If it would allow that then a simple switch and a relay would be employed. I'll see how it goes but I see it this way. To get more power required more...

    I've lost me afterburner!!

    Well, I never would have believed it would come to this. Hippo was fitted with a Tunit box when I bought the car. Their kit is listed here Diesel Tuning by Tunit Diesel Performance With Over 2500 Applications This box, which is the size of a match box, with a 9 pin 'D' type connector at...
