that would do a straight abs issue, this is TC related too… -and, I tried that ! Nanocom can’t seem to clear the fault -or it keeps recurring

Not necessarily, the numbers are arbitrary to an extent are they not ? It ‘thinks’ it’s at the right height (the numbers are where they should be) but this doesnt actually correspond to the actual height. I need to do mine too and I think it’s a case of getting the wood blocks out. -of course...

Hi again, -and I’m sorry, but this is twisting my melon… Got car back from garage but it’s been sitting as I’m waiting on a re-manufactured vcu. Most things were fine before she sat up but now, after 3 or so weeks, she appears to have developed a TC / ABS fault. Nanocom suggests that the...

No idea, but I feel your pain… Could it be a calibration issue ?

so I bang the big spanner anti-clockwise (like a normal nut) to undo ? Ie. Towards the battery -petrol 4.6 l

did you have to drain the coolant to do this ? No biggie as was going change the rad hoses and water pump anyway

just bypass the heater matrix ? Might work as a temp fix…

That would all explain the coolant loss ! Someone has done it previously as the pipe is cut and ‘handy’ holes drilled in plastics. Need a long driver, I don’t suppose you happen to know the size of the head ?

I was kinda dreading that… I may have to prioritise the VCU, one corner of EAS playing up and an ABS sensor going ‘open circuit’ while sitting idle for 3 weeks (Low voltage perhaps ?) as she’s due her MOT and we’ve some trips pending -assuming I can get the problems fixed !

Hi again, I’ve a couple of pressing jobs to do on the P38 and I happened to lift the carpet in the drivers footwell to find the foam sound deadening was absolutely soaked. it’s been dry here forever so I’ve no idea how long it’s been wet or from where. I’m not even convinced it’s water -it...

On balance, I’ve decided to leave it for now… I’ve just found I’ve more pressing expenses on the old girl to attend to. The impending scarcity of the gas and the upfront expense being the main concerns. Thanks again for all the insight :)

Well, there are still a fair few around Glasgow but, as you say, it looks like it’s days may be numbered…. And there’s no saying it will continue to be taxed at a lower rate or that petrol will remain this high in the long term… maybe I just need to sit on my hands and swallow the £200 for a...

There seem to be quite a few outlets still available round here, but I take the point... Now checking out symptoms of cracked liners. !

So.... with petrol rapidly approaching £2 per litre and LPG around £0.80 is the time right now to bite the bullet and opt for an LPG conversion ? I've a late '97 4.6L Gems which returns between 13 and 24 mpg. The petrol prices alone are emptying my wallet and the 'payback' for an LPG conversion...

well, if you weren’t all so darn helpful !

If the cap fits……

Have asked the garage to check it but I’m pretty certain it’s not right. the good news is they’ve agreed to fit a replacement FOC. is Ashcroft the best place to go for a recon or are there any other recommendations ? thanks again Bob (edited for random Boobage)

Goodness, just spotted this. I may be a bit of a noob but wishing you all the best for a swift and full recovery

I was standing on the breaker bar (and I’m not exactly ‘slight’ and I didn’t really detect any movement at all -and was worried about over-tightening the wheel nuts

maybe I need to try again…with sustained pressure on the bar for a period of time. 130NM is approx 95 lbft of torque. I left the descision on the box / VC up to The garage and said if the old box was ok, just do the VC but they did the whole box. I suppose I was just a wee bit worried as it...
