yes, the fan had been replaced in the past for a Spal one and it does work. I hacked the system a bit by bridging the relay connectors for the clutch and the fan so now it has no choice but to come on whenever there is a request for the ac clutch but am concerned that the errors might indicate...

fair enough, effort can be quite relative sometimes

mine once wouldnt start after cleaning the engine bay and noticed the wiring was a little cracked. gave it time to dry out and it started fine but i did replace the wiring and plug to try to avoid it in the future. removing the starter will make it considerably easier to work on it. i know i...

it is probably the wiring or the plug not the actual sensor. its quite sensitive and cracks in the insulation would disrupt the signal if it gets wet. Pace 4x4 sells a complete wiring overlay (https://pace4x4.com/shop/ols/products/td5-crank-sensor-overlay) or you can make your own using a 3...

ok, thanks for the new information :) so the hacking part is ready lol, but i dont like that i have the open circuit errors. im guessing i need to investigate the fusebox a little. is it hard to remove? once tried to remove the internal fusebox and i couldnt get the connectors off no matter how...

noticed a while back that the AC fan is not coming on when I switch on the ac. as far as i know the fan should come on whenever the AC is on, regardless of the temperature (i usually set it to 16 or LO)? I think it may be an issue with the engine bay fusebox as when i connected the earth from...

Yep, v8 is obd2 compliant td5 isnt

Are you running Bilstein B6? Are they suitable for a 3" lift? Tbh i quite like the terrafirma adjustable ones they have been there for the past 7 years and have seen some heavy offroad but always looking for something better when i need to replace

Thanks for the response. I ll try a second hand pump i have as spare

they are polybushes so they are not the same. They will give a noticeably firmer feel.

I tested the voltage at fuse and noticed that at one end it 14.38V while at the other is 14.36V. is a .02 V drop normal? Edit: from a little research a 0.02V is acceptable drop, so it seems like the fusebox might not be an issue, although there is still a significant (although should be within...

So non starter issue kinda made it a priority so i got to work lol. After several attempts it started and seems happy now. Retested the mV at the fusebox and with the engine running it is now 17.4mV, which is still low. Voltage at the fuel pump is 13.5V

thanks ill do that later as its set up as an overlander with cabinets in the back so i will need to take out a few stuff lol. btw, now the f***er wont start, i suspect it is something to do with disconnecting the Fuel feed line and reconnecting it... but i had done that a couple of weeks ago...

Checked and its showing 14.4 mV. Could it be caused by corrosion in the fusebox itself maybe?

thanks for the tip! the 114 degree Celsius is from the exhaust manifold.

so in a previous post (here) i discussed where best to fit a fuel pressure sensor to a td5. now after i have it running i m noticed the pressure is way below the ideal 4bar. I have replaced the pressure sender (both quality SAAS senders connected with a T to the temperature temp port) and also...

may be fusebox corrosion, probably the one under the bonnet but could also be the internal one

i had tried a friend's icarsoft and it would only connect to the abs module. if you want to connect to the engine and bcu modules you need a nanocom

im sure i can get to the bottom of it, if i wanted by swapping things at the rear... but do i really want to? not really, just glad that it is sorted (for now!) so fingers crossed!

just confirmed that these are not what is included as standard with terrafirma shocks but are in fact an upgraded poly bush that can be fitted to them
