You can always buys Schrader values and put on each corner line from the valves block and pump each corner manually with tyre inflators then you can check all corners are filling up ok? I bought them on Ebay and done it to diagnose a fault and had them on as a temporary fix until I got a new...

Nice one. Do a check online as my MOT got extended due to COVID? Unless yours already has the extension but runs out in sept?

@Rubberknees hope your recovering well mate. I was advised by Rick the Pick that best charging battery disconnected as it can cause ECU's to warm up or short out, more so on old P38's, however this is with full chargers or jump starters not sure about trickle chargers but I disconnect anyway.

A thick comment from me but have you tried an fuel system cleaner before take off parts as no harm doing this see if reduces the smoke?

Weird on mine had a custom made aluminium rad installed, it was the head that was cracked causing my overheating in the end, but I took the rad out and it was full of gunk partially blocked. Might be worth taking rad out see if it is full of crud as a matter of course? After that the rad felt...

Let's see.. I took front cover off engine without draining the oil.... whoops :D:eek: Starting engine without rocker cover on and sprayed oil on my neighbour's car.....

@Datatek nice one mate. Great work.

Oh crikey mate that's tough. The insurance price is a a joke I am with Admiral same spec RR as you got it for £350 but on fire and theft maybe try that? Think if you buy a windscreen a firm can fit it for about £150 my mate got it done on his Triumph spitfire. Do you know what the SRS fault is?

@RangeRoller dt sorry to hear this mate how come 2 cylinders gone bad? Stripping for parts can be a good earner but alot of agro packaging and sending or as mentioned above sorn it get a 2nd hand engine?

@Nifty190 Check to see if the engine symbol comes up on the dash on ignition 2 or when cranking, if this is not illuminated, then it has lost sync or a fuse blew in the engine fuse box as what happened to my dads 4.6 V8. The sync mate indicated no power to the ECU, check fuse, low and behold...

Is this hot start to do with old chain stretch? As had it when had old chains but new chains starts straight away from hot.

Ok thanks and noted.

I tried another method that Rick recommended and that didn't work so either the early ECU's don't allow this or it is a software issue I have asked Blackbox Solutions. On getting another ECU for comparison only does the product code matter apart from it needs to be from a pre-EGR diesel? My...

@Grrrrrr thanks for checking, wonder why this happens then? Assume yours is running ok? Have you tried to write the values in and save then they disappear? Mines a 95 manual.

@pdfflyer this is the one you need https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/shop/product/ncom07 I selected in USD but not sure if you need to pay TAX etc, they come from Cyprus but this is the most user friendly version. Delivery is quick in Europe not sure International but should be ok and worth...

Thanks lads and yep I am confused enough but that document you gave me @wammers has some detail about what readings should be and what to enter into the pump calibration it cleared things up a bit. So I need to make sure everything is running correctly and see (unlikley) if that gets rid of the...

@RangeRoller dt just looked at this, is the top data displaying what the readings should and can be compared against and as you say the bottom data is where someone had an issue?

Thank you.

Yep I noted all that and you say 1997 manual was missing figures aswell, so do I need to write the FIP values in the calibration page or leave it? On the inputs, apart from the modulation figure which I know it should be, do you know what the readings should be on all the other inputs so I can...

@wammers just followed the procedure above and still not getting any values. Am I best to enter the relevant values and write them? Do you know what they need to be?
