Grrrrrr's latest activity

Well, the mystery deepens. Went out, re-enabled the immobiliser, wrote settings, cleared RF memory (again), shut down. Went out, pressed the lock button to lock ... and the bloody thing locked. Pressed unlock and it unlocked! No syncing...

Already tried that when i was bored yesterday

Took the wheel off this evening and undid the caliper. Didn't look too bad but pads were worn through. Swapped pads for some old ones cadged off MrGorsky. Strangely I had new front ones in stock but no rear ones; clearly I was planning on...

Try putting the old one back. Might have jigged something?

Plug it in, plug it in!

oooh, my delivery will be here soon. what do you think, just plug it in!? do you think the car will suddenly communicate!?

Some Ford's also have it I believe. I wonder which cretin thought that was a good idea?

Operated for short periods and stopped for many years :(. I removed the central crankshaft bolt to extract the chain sprocket, which I will replace. For the closing I stick to RAVE (100nm + 60°+60°+30° ☠️). As you say, the oil pump is driven by a...

RIP Fella.

Already tried clearing RF memory. iirc I think Dan ended up fitting a refurbed switch from Marty.

All doors unlocked I've got Right cdl ground Left cdl ground Right key switch 12v Left key switch 12v. Door locked with key I've got All the same except right cdl goes to 12v but returns to ground when key returned to the central position. Hope...

I'm a bit busy until about 1pm today but I'll happily plug in my nano after that to see what I get if no one pipes up meantime. @Grrrrrr

Key switch should toggle 0v-12v when turning the key, i.e. 12V with key in centre, and ground when you turn the key. CDL should be 12V when door is locked (switch open), and Ground when door is unlocked. This way the BECM knows if you are...

That Citroen C4 has a wet belt. What a nightmare that is. My line manager has one. Heap of ****.

What caused that, I wonder? Has anyone touched the crankshaft bolt on the front of the engine? That has to be done up 'kin tight or the oil pump won't be driven.

Hi, I recently brought home a 1995 P38 2.5 diesel, taken from an old gentleman in my town for little money. The car had engine problems, arrived home by truck. A picture of the negotiation, concluded at €1000 (approximately £830). I immediately...

That 2015 diesel engine in the Jaguar snapped chains for fun. Ford engine, I think. Ingenium?

I'd rather a belt than a chain compared to the last ten years of poor efforts in engines 😢

Hi all, Having put the engine back together, neither keys will sync. Earlier today I got the Nonocom out and had a play. Tried clearing RF memory - nothing. I even tried triggering the locks with the Nanocom rather than using the key ion the...

Anything on that head I just use my fingertips!

So did I once, an LS400 they were cheap but, in the last couple of years prices have gone silly and, I was put off with it having a cam belt instead of a timing chain.

I'd like to if the ****er would just run for a few weeks without any issues. Lexus RX350 looking very tempting.

NSR brake now binding. It is bloody relentless. For £2.5k I'd probably throw in the scrapper as well.

Even though the connectors on the fuse box all looked good, I'm wondering if i should give each connector a spray with contact cleaner and refit? I'm betting it doesn't take much for diagnostics to decide it sometimes can't communicate..

Almost all torque settings are in RAVE and there are generic ones in there to cover anything they miss. Sometimes it puts a value in the section text but sometimes you have to check the section at the start.

Been doing other jobs distracting me from the car (that I was dreading) but here's the update. Milliput failed due to frosty weather not letting it set and lack of plusgas (for fear it would stop the Milliput sticking) so the Milliput popped off...

Neither of my keys will sync now. Central locking works though. All very strange. Might be the central microswitch, I guess. I'll have a play with the Nonocom when I get a spare moment.

It's probably mineral wool based as that's good for sound and heat insulation. Many eu/uk car manufacturers were phasing out asbestos in early 90s. From what I've read.

Normally you get the screwdriver up the side and rotating teh screwdriver side to side is enough to free it off.

I stuck your kit on my watch list, that how i had the link👍:vb-biggrin:
