Will do that tomorrow as its a tad warm inside the big glasshouse on wheels at the moment.

I was just testing to see if the EKA worked after I had set the alarm etc off as had the engine immobiliser message on the dash, often had it happen on my old DSE so new something was up with the lock when it didnt work. Luckily plugging the RF interface in and using the fob sorted it out. Will...

My P38 is currently laid up for the summer ready for me to do a few jobs before the next MOT. It is parked a lot closer to the house than usual and surprise surprise the battery went flat pretty quickly. I disconnected the RF interface for the central locking and problem solved. Mine has v2 of...

I have been looking for a better diagnostic tool for my P38 than just a basic obd2 reader. I can't afford a Nanocom Evo no matter how brilliant it is so have bought EAS unlock version 4 from RSW Solutions in America. It runs on any Windows laptop or tablet which I already have. I have given it a...

So have checked all the intake for blockages but all clear, new air filter fitted and a known good MAF as well. Unfortunately the issue still exists so looks like a wire somewhere in the loom is busted. Just got to work out where the wires go now.

Also looking at it more closely its a cheap pattern one on there so it's probably the issue.

The one that's in there is a grubby unipart one so not been changed for a while. Getting one from Euro Car Tarts in the morning.

I did wonder that, but guess where the wire disappears, under the upper manifold It seems to run OK, no errors on the dash etc. Needs a new air filter which I will pick up tomorrow. I have got the gas running better, not 100% but very drivable. Plug colours are all golden so mixture can't be far...

4.6 petrol. I am getting a persistent error code P0112 which points to the air temp sensor in the MAF. I have checked for air leaks in the induction pipe and that's all OK. I have cleaned the connector with switch cleaner no difference. If I take the air box cover off and just rev the engine the...

It's fixed.... Stripped it down this morning and found no bare wires, think it was a bright orange wire I could see with the torch. It was a stupidly simple issue, the connector on injector 8 was sitting in place but not clicked down fully, must have caught it when I was removing the old lpg...

I have just had a look at injector 8 using a mirror and torch, I can see a glint of copper wire under there but no way to get to it. So it's coming apart at the weekend

Constantly not running on all cylinders on petrol. The error shown on the diags is P0208. I do wonder if I may have left a plug off as had to unplug a couple of the petrol injectors to get my hand in to cut the old lpg pipework off.

Cheers guys for all the input, lots of things to check before I take it to bits again. Took it out for a 10 mile run, it is so smooth on lpg and acceleration is spot on. I left my diagnostic dongle in and the only thing it could detect is injector 8 on the petrol side. Everything else looks as...

I have the Bigas diagnostics and that shows both trims, but also have a basic obd2 dongle based app on my phone and that shows petrol injector 8 has a problem. Ran like it before it got up to temperature and I switched over to lpg. The petrol injectors have obviously been replaced at some point...

So have put it all back together with the injectors mounted on top of the upper manifold rather than underneath it. Much simpler to access now and it runs perfectly on lpg now. However it now runs rough on petrol, its not firing on all cylinders, as it runs OK on lpg it has to be a fueling issue...

So finished the strip down, loads more brittle pipework. All the pipes from the injectors to the inlet nozzles just broke up as I started to pull them out. The inlet nozzles have been fitted close to the Bosch petrol injectors so a right pain to get the broken tubing off. All the inlet nozzles...

I have serviced the vapouriser, the diaphragms were really worn and there was a small water leak. So new seals and diaphragms done and all the pipework was very brittle to so replaced. Didn't get any pics as my hands stunk so much from handling everything thing didn't want to pick up my phone...

Bosch. I have spoken to a couple of specialists and they say I can mount the injector rails in a different place so I won't have the problem again. Will do some more pictures as I go.

So the parts all arrived at the weekend and today I have begun to strip it down. What a pain in the bum having the injector rails under the upper intake manifold. The pipework is really knackered and brittle, there is enough cable to mount the injector rails above the manifold but I am not sure...

So I have spoken with tinleytech, what a fantastic mine of information. They have all the parts I need in stock, injectors, filters, service kit and interface cable. I found the diagnostic plug hidden down between the fuse box and the battery box.
