Good to be back. Took her for a run up Drumossie about an hour ago. Was pleasantly surprised at the fact she kept 70mph. Dropped a gear a couple of times, but with the previous engine she'd be 4th, 3rd, 4th, 3rd, 4th, 3rd, all the way up. :rolleyes: Tried out my roof light too. Not bad for a...

I used to fit tyres and we always understood that alloy wheels in good condition would automatically receive stick on weights. Perhaps it was remiss of me to assume that they would have seen my super clean wheels and just stick new weights on... It won't be happening again though o_O

Thanks all. The Anderson plug came out while I was fixing things. Not sure whether to re-install or leave it off because it was a PITA having to clean the connections despite the rubber cover o_O I have mounted my light bar on the roof between the rails and run the wire down the "A" pillar...

Ha ha ha, I was just emptying the load area so I took a photo. But I parked it a few minutes after that.

Yes. I set it like that when parking to intimidate lesser mortals :p

I took a moody picture of George the other night. I changed the Mondials for the Hurricanes I got from down the road. They needed a clean, but they turned out nice :cool:

Evening all, sorry I haven't been around for a while. Been busy with various things... Anyhoo, trying to move the air spring top seat is a bit of a dick. Try to get a long long flat screw driver in between the body and chassis leg (I found it easier to remove the plastic wheel arch liner) so...

Hey Bob, remember when we checked for air leaks around the car while the pump was running? Not a peep. Perhaps it had sealed itself and came out on the journey home :eek: I would have heard it escaping for sure. Still, at least it's been found. Good job. I'm more than happy to help with...

When my drivers window stopped working it was caused by one green grotty pin on the multi plug going into the BECM. I also had an issue with a grotty OBD port and something else which currently escapes me... My point was, check for poor connection.

Not at all. Jack the chassis leg and stick an axle stand in there. As long as the relevant wheel is off the ground, the fun part is getting the "R" pin out :confused:

Yes, the pipe is 6mm pneumatic tubing. The pipe to/from the valve block to the drier is 8mm and there is a 4mm pipe at the back end of the block who's function I forget... But each air spring to EAS valve block is 6mm as is the pipe to the air tank. I forgot about RS....

That's a bugger, I listened and heard nothing! Anyway, an easy fix. Firs you have to establish whether your line is melted (almost always an exhaust leak close by) or if the pipe is leaking at the airbag (possibly a bad "O" ring or loose pipe into the bag) or is the bag itself worn or punctured...

When you say at the rear, do you mean at the back of the car?

I'd start by checking the plug at the actual FR sensor. If it's clean, the next port of call is the kick panel at the drivers foot well at the bottom of the drivers side "A" pillar. A white multi plug inside may be an issue if it's got wet or damp and has green grot on the pins. That would also...

If you're not confident Bob, I'd be happy to receive your valve block and motor and replace all "O" rings and whatnot for the cost of the postage. Whatever it costs to send it up should be the same to return it. I know you want to do it yourself and I applaude that, but if the valve block is...

On the EAS Software, on the 1st tab FAULTS (in yellow), you've obviously read the faults so got to the white one lower down that says Faults. Click on it and the list should disappear. If not, highlight the list of faults then press delete. Then, read the fault list again. If you keep getting...

Well Bob, I'd be more than happy to rebuild the pump again if you want to send it to me? Free of charge obviously. I'm planning to order more parts to rebuild my other spare pump so I would be delighted to do it. Only takes half an hour anyway. I can't believe the bad luck you're having :(

Damn! I was afraid of that. Looks like it's running on far too long. But you'll need it on a proper code reader to tell you why. There's obviously a problem with the valve block sensors or the wee ecu in the valve block. There's no leaks obvious and she went up well enough so the tank is holding...

Yes, ages ago. It's in and running with new Crank seals each end. Purrs like a tiger :D And sounds like it's supposed to :cool: I'd got so used to the misfire that I forgot how rippy it's supposed to be :eek: And... It gets to 70mph, you put the foot down and it launches forward like you're...

Not at all. I felt bad for the poor chap having been there myself. I had the parts so it made sense to rebuild the pump with new parts. I'm not sure if it has another issue causing the pump to keep running or was it just the fact it couldn't build pressure... I gave him a spare pump to take...
