    P38A A series of faults

    Yup, cleaned that out thoroughly with paraffin and my ultrasonic cleaning bath filled with carb cleaner when I replaced the cam cover gasket. There's no restriction blowing back down the breather back into the cam cover either, and there was barely any blowing through the catch can arrangement...

    P38A A series of faults

    Oil is coming out of the dipstick. Bypassed my catch can and connected the breather directly back to the inlet, still spitting oil out of the dipstick tube. Changed the EAS valve block controller over to the spare. Cleaned all the earths. Cleaned all the contacts in the engine bay for the EAS...

    Indeed, now I have of course been fiddling as I wasn't happy with the amount of oil I found in the intercooler and intake pipe (air filter to turbo). When I changed the rocker cover seal I re-seated the breather vent tube on a bed of RTV securing it to the rocker cover with some M4 set screws...

    P38A A series of faults

    Failed the MoT on an excessive oil leak from the engine. It's either the filter housing seal or blowing oil out the dipstick tube at the top. Was fine till it got warmed up on the run over to the MoT garage. Also blown numberplate bulb...which I just replaced... Suspension meanwhile has...

    P38A A series of faults

    I am tempted to run some new dedicated earths as I do have some terminated battery earth cables kicking around. They certainly wouldn't do any harm. Now that is a very valid point, and I did get a spare back in January just in case. I will swap it out and see what happens. Might have to...

    P38A A series of faults

    I did, but that was back in February...I will try to take another look tomorrow, assuming it's not throwing it down still Battery charger reported full charge in about an hour, it's an 'itelligent' charger so spends a fair bit of time probing the battery while it charges it so doesn't instantly...

    ...and of course, having done a bit of shunting with it jammed in full height mode I go back out to move it over to nearer my workshop to put it on charge and the suspension works absolutely fine again...arggggghhhhhh it's toying with me! With nothing that since fitting the new battery the...

    They charged it before I picked it up (got it from GSF by ordering online and they then pick it and charge it, only telling you it is ready for collection once it checks out ok) even got a print out of what it was charged to.

    The battery was brand new last weekend! Not a cheapie either; a Yuassa 3000 heavy duty

    P38A A series of faults

    Now that I have emptied the contents of the trailer (parts for my 3 x series projects) in the Orchard, I'm going to haul the trailer back round and hopefully get a chance to run through the EAS electrics, but will test the alternator output before disconnecting the battery, assuming I can find...

    P38A A series of faults

    It's the only working one that I have and all three USB ports work fine for other duties. Currently sitting in the RR having shunted my trailer out into the Orchard to unload it. Suspension is all over the shop and now when tge compressor kicks in the engine struggles to idle due to the...

    P38A A series of faults

    Well that was a complete waste of a morning. Suspension went nuts just as I set off for the MoT and went up to full ride height then refused to budge, button pushes just getting flashing lights and then it giving up, air compressor running every 30 seconds or so, turning it off an on again...

    P38A A series of faults

    With no way to interorgate my EAS ECU I can't check to see what's going on with the sensors I have to take it on trust that my cable checked out ok having sent it back to the seller for testing and him reporting back that it checked out ok, he even sent me a new FTDI adapter just in case, even...

    P38A A series of faults

    There's the rub though, the pump is kicking in every minute or so and the front suspension then rises and lowers an inch with the car sitting at idle, not moving, just sitting on a yard made of road planings (so a smidge uneven but not more than an inch difference). No errors on the dash, just...

    Genuine FTDI Driver (version 2.12.36.4 previously and again now after complete re-install) uninstalled and re-installed, made no difference, EAS Unlock TX buffer doing the repeating FF/01 Hex code, HX just has the single line 'PP' Seeing as the USB ports on my laptop all work fine, and the...

    P38A A series of faults

    Just using Mark's terminology from earlier; was wondering if the EAS ECU was getting conflicting information from all the sensors, or an erratic signal from one and therefore trying to compensate. I did read that is possible to switch height sensors from side to side in an effort to get them...

    P38A A series of faults

    Putting my troubles with EAS Unlock to oneside for a minute; if the height sensors are in conflict can they be reset or is that one or more is starting to fail and in need of replacement? Just trying to plan ahead for taking the car for an MoT tomorrow and whether I am going to need to perform...

    Device Manager says I am using an FTDI driver though, or at least that's what I think it is telling me, unless the Microsoft generic would identify the adapter as FTDI itself?
