I haven’t any so far but was there anything in particular you wanted to know I’ll do my best to take photos of it going back in if needed? It’s all been fairly simple really I wish I didn’t pay someone to do my clutch a few months ago now lol

Both engines out new one had all its gaskets easy bits replaced etc but I’ve not done a clutch before and didn’t realise you couldn’t reuse a spigot bushing. So had to order one of them, hopefully here today or tomorrow then should be going in

It wasn’t a case of being tight (for once) I just couldn’t get any, but I found a place 30 mins away that had 1 set in stock, so went and picked them up. Glad I did as it was very obvious how the ones in their had deformed, they were new about 8 months ago so maybe genuine would of looked...

As per title, had new one ordered up sellers only just dispatched them... I want the flywheel off my old engine to to on the new engine to go in over the weekend, is it really that big of a no no to reuse them with a bit of loctite?

Oh actually ive just looked it up they look extremely simple to swap the entire harness, im used to more modern stuff lol. Cheers i think ill just swap the entire thing

Awesome, im taking it out the scrap car and gonna do water pump seals etc while its out then chuck it in the boot of the dying car and drive it to my dads workshop to get him to help me do the swap, then its an hour drive back. So sounds like ill be alright getting home, do i have to swap the...

Hi guys, my 10p engine is dying a painful death. Ive got a mate whos got a nice 15p engine but rusted chassis, so im having the engine. im taking the whole truck off him to do the job, will i encounter any issues? I know i need to swap the ECU, will i need to code this? if so i can i use my old...

Hello! So I’ve had some water/mud through my engine after the air box wasn’t seated properly. now I get black smoke on acceleration which I didn’t before a ton of blow by (enough to make the oil cap dance when unscrewed) and a kinda lumpy idle, misfires when cold. Now before I commit to...

FIXED always the little things… so I checked air filter and that was fine, there was some leaves getting stuck on the maf screen!! Cleared them and full power is restored, also had the manifold skimmed today and then I refitted with a new gasket so all is well, still runs on 4 cylinders now...

I believe you to be correct, on the way home today I have the screal of death… Already had the exhaust manifold skimmed before, so tried taking the belt off, nope still there, let it cool down get some soapy water on and start it, warped! So that will be coming off, I think I’ll try de webbing...

That was my first thought but it makes good boost and suddenly drops in previous experience it’s a slow taper, and coupled with dropping a cylinder on start up I’m betting they are connected. I’m going to try a used injector on no1, I just unplugged the harness and it went from missing/smoking...

That’s all I have unfortunately, the fuel pump was a brand new VDO unit a month or so ago, it also kicks out black smoke when it cuts boost, do you know what the underboost limit is?

I thought i started it a few seconds before I pressed record but it was recording before that, so i put my foot down around the 60/65 mark on the graphs

yeah i didn't realise it was such high voltage, i think ill leave it a few days and see if it dries out.. then try a genuine loom. Here is a log from roughly 2k rpm at WOT to 4kish you can see all boost is cut harshly, i was also going up a hill

£83 for a bloody harness on the landrover site, I might check connections with a multimeter first since it’s not an intermittent problem

Yeah the loom did cross my mind it isn’t a genuine one. I’ll whip the rocker cover off and check contacts/reinstall before logging see if that makes any difference

Ok i log everything later, only thing I saw that was strange was the injector balance was 20/30 on 1 and -20/30 on 3, do they fire together? I was wondering if it’s just coincided I’ve sh*t an injector, it was also running on 4 cylinders this morning until warm

Cheers I’ll give it a go, I think it’s water ingress as it was 3k at first then when I got home it’s 3.2 so almost like somethings drying out

Would I not expect to see some weird readings if that was the case?

Hi went and did some off-roading today; now I have a weird issue, when I get to 3/3.2k rpm the power gets cut, confirmed with live data boost drops right down to 4/5psi. The moment it cuts boost/power it’s only at 13/14psi. only fault code I’ve got is maf but that’s coded out, unplugged it...
