I've been looking for that hole for ages. It must have wax oil in/covering it as there is no sign of it. At least I know where it is now. Cheers

I did the same with mine. An easy fix once you've gained access

I used Lemforder on both sides 12 months ago and no problems as yet. It's a pig of a job but very satisfying once done. I would invest or borrow a good quality ball joint service kit, an enerpac jack, a blow torch and a bloody big swear box. I also changed the drive shaft seals whilst I was in...

If anyone is thinking of buying a replacement fuel pump anytime soon then I would recommend spending as much as you can afford. I bought one for around £60 last December and I've just had to change it. I was having a few power delivery problems that I put down to either wastegate or a sensor...

Welcome Edward. I have a D2 from 2004 ( Landmark) and I've had it for about 12 months now. I've had many teething problems like fuel pump, front ball joints, welding rear chassis under the shock mounts and even a new automatic gearbox but I absolutely love it. I enjoy working on it and have...

For those last two readings I removed the plugs and took the voltage with a meter at the plug itself. Wouldn't that be the supply to the sensor or am I getting mixed up?

These are the readings I have for the other sensors AAP 4.96v MAP 2.5v Should the MAP be that low?

Not that I could see. Only MAF, air intake, coolant sensor, fuel sensor and driver demand in engine management.

The only voltage I could get off Hawkeye was MAF at 2.05v and intake air sensor at 2.68v. I'll get under the bonnet tomorrow evening to check AAP and MAP.

Also the wastegate was 3.12 at 3000rpm

I haven't taken the values at maximum or pedal released but all at about 2000 rpm. The driver demand 1 was 1.7v and 2 was 3.85v

Ok an update. So, I have fitted a new fuel pump (VDO) and fuel filter and all seems well. I've done a 40 mile trip with no stutters or farts and smooth power delivery. All the figures you gave me Sierrafery all seem good apart from the Acc supply. I have a reading of 4.2v where your document...

Good idea, I never thought of that. Looking at the job with my blinkers on again. Cheers

Cheers guys it was only a long shot. Some of the aftermarket or replacement ones are either too expensive or don't look man enough so I think I'll remove one and replicate it.

Hi Pressbrake. I see from a former post that you profiled some plates for D2 shock towers. Do you still have the detailed drawings and were they only for a lift kit? I'm after standard height. Cheers Darren

Thanks Marjon. I'll give him a tinkle

Has anyone tried to make their own? I'm a welder/fabricator by trade and wondered if there are any detailed drawings of the shock towers as mine are starting to show there age.

The only update I have so far is that I've checked the actuator isn't sticking by pumping air into the inlet and it moves smoothly with no sticking at all. I had a spare vacuum hose so fitted that too. I have a new (not cheap) fuel pump which I bought some time ago as the one I fitted 12months...

Forgot to say that I didn't check if the wastegate actuator was sticking so I'll check that too.

Thanks Sierrafery. I'll keep you posted on progress.
