You said "fuel economy" 🤣🤣🤣😜

Always undo the filler plug first is good practice. Don’t wanna drop it just to find out filler won’t come out for some reason.

Wasn't sure where to post this...

Good to know , being brand new to the P38 there is a lot to learn.

The l322 onwards is pretty much electric anyways, just needs a hunking 4.4 v8 to power the alternator 🤭

www.Blackbox-solutions.com a good investment and they have a good resale value.

Thank you kind sir👍

14.7psi or 1 bar seems normal. 1.2 bar may be possible.

Will get some one sat next to me tomorrow with diags plugged in to take some live readings whilst driving around

Always plenty of space in the electric parking bay

She's got to be pulling hard under load like up a hill for max boost.

I'll have to check but I think 1 bar over atmospheric is correct.

Oooh, that's going to be difficult going into tescos dragging four wheels behind you 😜

Intercooler was new 10 years ago, don't know life span of them. Wondering about wastegate crudded up as have known that to happen before on other vehicles

Plugged hawkeye in that reads boost. Nanocom with Shaun. At tick over got .89 bar on atmospheric and same on boost, took up to 3500 revs and got1.005 bar. Sure thats a bit low, thought should be around 1.5 bar.

Little holes in intercooler made that noise with me. Showed up when I filled it up with petrol and soaked it. Weren’t big either just little weeping bits Wastegate can get cruded up

It can.

Started the scrapper. Bit odd. Reconnected battery and everything worked again! Tried to start and everything went dark again. Tried a jump lead from battery negative to engine and even battery positive to starter positive but no change...

I think nano can read boost?

One of the first things I checked. All nice and snug

Hoses replaced? Maybe not seated properly? I doubt it's the wastegate as that vents into the exhaust if I remember correctly.

Slight but not I would have thought excessive

Pretty sure

Are you sure it's not a split charge pipe?

Do I have a turbo problem? have noticed over past few days when accelerating and especially going uphill a slight loss in power and a sound like air under pressure escaping coming from the turbo. Could it be wastegate problems. All hoses were...

Bugger.. leave the house for 30 mins and you get something nicked from the porch Now I'm worried about my 2A on the driveway

Psst ... it's not a 'Jeep' .... is it ?

I'd be happy with that, I trailered an AA van back from north of Glasgow, empty up to collect. My 3.5 V8 110 did 9mpg overall 🤔
