Mines 350nm too unfortunately.

I've got a big one somewhere. I forget what it goes up to, will check later if you want to use it. (There is nothing innuendo in this post thank you)

It is on nanocom. I seem to recall it's not on the same screen as modulation which is a faff, a minor faff but a faff nevertheless.

You need a cranked 12mm ring spanner for the fip. Inlet manifold nuts are m8 flanged, mine were a mix of 12mm and 13mm socket sizes, I replaced them all with 13mm flange nuts from screwfix. I dropped one or two of those nuts and never found them...

Didn't see the video before. Air in fuel is not right at all. As you have checked the obvious I would change the filter, might be fuel starvation because its plugged up. It might also have a bad filter seal. There are two types of filter, early...

Modulation should be circa 50%, you can set it with tools and the nano, no need for a dti. Keith has a method, I've used his method and also done it on a mates car with a running engine and moving the fip whilst observing the nano. Loads quicker...

Do not remove the fuel line from the filter head, they break and nla. Just unscrew the filter to do a flow check.

Timing modulation is miles out if done on a stinking hot engine, usually results in bad hot starts. Bad cold starts with air leaks a possible cause can be seen by observing the clear pipe to the fip whilst someone cranks- you'll see air rushing...

There's a couple of teams that do that, fully mobile. A Google search should bring them up? They advertise on Facebook p38 pages.

Hi everyone, progress has been made and the problem is solved. I topped up the gear box with 500 ml of gear box oil while engine was cold and moved the gear stick from park to 1st and then up through the gears before and after topping up. Took...

I'm not overly fussed about the mot remaining to be fair. It's the no tax that excites me.

Spot on, as long as you don't have any considerable modifications from the original spec.

You need to apply for mot exemption with a V112. I taxed mine yesterday for the grand total of nowt oh yer :banana: :banana:

110 registered July 1985, mot expires September this year, so I don't have to get it moted this September? 40 yrs and 2 months old. Tax exempt from April next year 2026?

You could try dropping the thing in a sonic cleaner bath maybe? I can pop it in mine if you post it to me.

Early one can be used, means a minor chopping off of some lower brackets AND a new compressor to condensor pipe. Island sell them, not cheap though.

Yes.

AIRBAG FAULT back and also the SRS light is on. FFS.

Same short length of wire with two spades is useful for running the EAS Pump manually as well !!

Ahh, I remember now. I did the flow test with no available help, hence the jumper wire I made up. I could hold the measure pot with one hand and bridge the relay with the other, used the stop watch on my phone.

Yes. You bridge the relay and run the pump for for bit on earlies, same as fuel flow test. you just use the ignition on yours.

17x19.5x1 they are much smaller OD than the originals, I put a pic up on here somewhere, ID is larger than originals, difficult to get them on the injector if they were the same as original I suppose. I don't know if the od or the id was the...

I've still got some of those ebay washers, I'll go out and measure one, see how they compere with what you've ordered @Mark Piercy

Cheers dad :D

Thinking about it...might be wrong here..but don't early models only pump on cranking, later models just ign on?? Mines 2001 so I just have to cycle the ign. I do have a short length of wire with two male spades on it in my door pocket that I...

Yes. I fit the new filter to a warm engine, cycle the ign a few times until fuel is bubble free in the clear pipe and start her up, idle a bit lumpy for a few seconds then done.

doesnt it self bleed?

I saw some seals on ebay and remembered your post about it... I thought Errr......... No🤔

There is an ebay seller who does a set of six but they are rubbish as I found out, changed number 1 injector seal twice with them with no luck. I got 5 injectors off ebay and chucked them in a sonic cleaner and fitted one of those in place of the...
