Just about to have lunch but after that I will go for said drive with a passenger to record all the data. Are there any filing data that you are particularly looking for?

Once more I went for a test drive. After the first cold start with it's 34 sec delay, (I remembered my stopwatch), and M&S W/L I went for a drive; parked up engine running and cleared off the M&S W/L then drove on again. Stoped, switched off the engine and cycled the ignition / alarm and...

Had a Sunday out, Tried resetting the EAT adaptive values, Nanocom reported action completed, then started the engine. No throttle authority for about that two minuets, (stupidly forgot my stop watch), Then I cycled the ignition and locking protocol including starting the engine. There was about...

I did try to look at the EAT as it communicates with the engine ECU when changing gear - it backed off the timing somehow which is to reduce the 'clunk' when the auto box is changing gear. However I could not find any "reset EAT / Engine ECU" so I put this down to recycling the ignition. This...

If that is the case, and I suspect that you are right, it would appear that everything is working correctly. I also have to admit that last Sunday I drove back to the scene of the original backdown and apart from the 120sec delay everything worked perfectly well. Although I have not tested the...

OK tested that. Acc Way 1 - 0.567 off - Not measured with engine off load Acc Way 2 - 4.465 off - Not measured with engine off load Acc Way 3 - 4.677 off - Observed to be not very closely following way 2. Minor moment at around 3k rev 4.677 changed to 4.676 Starting was very quick moving from...

Update number 6 Replaced the MAF with what is supposed to be an original equipment component. Checked the settings with Nanocom and they were very much the same only about 5% better than the 'old' MAF. Reved the engine, off load, to around 3K rev and figures went up to 300+ area. On start up...

Todays, Tuesday the 10th of May, report Checked out the MAF connector and firmly reconnected it. Started up and there was that delay with the rev's jerking up slowly until throttle authority was there. Reading on the Nanocom was stepping up for the air flow - forgot the precise numbers but it...

You mean it does not plug itself in? All worth trying but not now it is 20:16hr here and tomorrow is a new day.

You are perfectly correct in that the MAF cannot be fully tested with a DVM however as long as there is a circuit then the chances are that the MAF is still functioning but the efficiency of that component cannot be fully tested without advanced instrumentation. A short circuit would...

Thanks for your help Stanley steamer. Harness problems or even making a loom from scratch I am well capable but engine were the area of the other chap in our workshop sorted out. I will listen to anyone who knows more than me but I do have 42 years at JLR and did pick up a lot but not just engine's!

My reply was not meant to be insulting! Many sensors can be tested with an ohmmeter which I have. A simple test that tests a sensor on the bench away from the vehicle. Most of the test work I did on harnesses was completed on the electrical system with all components connected but not powered...

Not sure what engine I have beyond it is a TD5. Have no idea what is the difference between 10P and 15P is! Thanks for the figures but they do not have any characteristics i.e. volts, ohms, cabbage, cubic meters of air etc. Not your fault but the error of whoever compiled that list. And as I...

Took the MAF off and could not see any problems. Checked the circuit with my DVM and got what I was expecting. I then reinstalled it and found that the connector may have been poorly inserted - last person, before your requested test, to remove it was the RAC chap! No identifiable improvement...

Got the same set of figures - not exactly the same but all in the same area - with or without the MAF connected. Not sure if it is me or hopeful thinking but the crank to throttle authority time seems to be reducing. The engine is still ' cold' so I would expect some delay as it changes from...

Done that but not sure of effect! Then I started the engine; it seemed to have a first stage, the a second stage - still no throttle authority - and finally at what seemed less than two minuets full throttle authority; going in the right direction but still not fully there! Tried looking under...

Tried to read any faults and both engine and g box had no faults recorded. This does not mean there were non just that I could not find any! The G box was showing three 'Adaptive (something) 1, 2 and 3' were 'inactive' even when I tried to move the vehicle! Not sure what they were.

Update number 5 Yesterday I went for a long drive and I am happy to say that my vehicle performed well once it was started. I have to add that codicil as it is not starting very well at least not as I would expect. To explain; the engine starts well and ticked over at somewhere between 500 and...

Update number 4 Do I feel a fool! Remember to put the transfer box into gear after you have replaced the centre consul and had to move both the t box and main g box levers... Sorry to create such a problem but that's what happens working on your own with no one else to bounce concerns off...

Update number 3 After clearing the junk away from the doors I started my engine, (hurray), and tried to reverse out - nothing, nought, no movement, zero and it now 'grinds' into Park. Perhaps the replacement xyz switch is not working! I do admit that I have yet to rationalise it against the...
