To get you started the pump is an ulka, lots on eBay. The variable pressure sensor I will have to look up. The preferred diesel nozzle is the very fine hollow cone spray type if spraying directly onto turbo. However I just went with normal solid cone as they were cheaper and at the time...

Different amp, 5v not 12v

Unfortunately the original and very detailed website is no more and my original right up relied all to heavily on it as references. I will have a further hunt and see what is still out there. Yes I saw that makeitfit had done a gas mod. I had a play with it and found a big boost but in the end...

Thanks Ray, I think I have all the info required. Just now need to test the actual output of the amp before inserting into the car. That will have to be on a 4.2v battery as I intend to run off the 5v feed, so will apply a margin of error. Next step is finding my multimeter. Although I see they...

The way to test a viscous can is by what is commonly referred to as the carrot test, although you do not actually use a carrot. At just after the initial inertia of startup and for a while afterwards, before the viscous coupling warms up you should be as to stop the can with your finger or ��...

If there is ever a next time it will be heading your way!

Thought I would resurrect an old thread as it seems no one has gone down the serious water methanol route. Although do correct me if I am wrong. Don't be suckered into buying any rotary pump system as they lack psi and suffer from lag as they come up to pressure. Plus why spend crazy amounts of...

Had the starter back off today and opened it up. Very much looks like the guy forgot a bush at the end of the armature. The soft alloy of the gear housing had worn oval if it had ever been replaced. So the thing was as bad as it was before he took the £75 from me. I had him return that to me...

Nope it's like this one on eBay item number 333519989532

Cheers Rick, will do.

Can anyone tell be if wire 4 RD/BE is a constant +5v? Also has anyone measured the voltage of wire 5 BE/WE coming out of the MAF at say 1500 revs and the corresponding voltage out of the amp? I understand that most MAF amps work on a 10% voltage increase but could do with some verification.

It seems the type of MAF is dependent on the diesel pump fitted. Either Bosch or Hitachi. Yes really pleased that I now have confirmation that engine and fuel pump are OK. Not so happy about having to take the starter off again tomorrow as it's refurb lasted all of a week.

Been on an under dash hunt for the IMMU central locking device. Found it but not what or where expected. Turned out to be on the opposite side of the steering column and is a 5wk4785 with a frequency of 418 MHz

Replaced MAF and now car goes like a rocket! When I can get it to start. Been trying it jumped on the once decent battery but very reluctant to turn over. Decided to get my hand on the starter to see if it was getting warm. Darn thing was nearly red hot. Taking it off again tomorrow and getting...

With the newly acquired car having a few more issues than expected I have to confess to have started to become somewhat dispondent over the whole thing. I realised when I took the car for a test drive that it was very flat, lacking any performance what so ever. However starter and battery issues...

That is an interesting idea. At a starting price of £22 on eBay for the setup with just one remote or £26 ISH for two then the remote switch could well be an option. Although it seemingly would have to be used on the negative cable as they all seem to specify.

Looking across eBay there are many of these from 3 ltr that have the same code numbers to the 2.7 but they all seem to come with the fuses as well. Is this because they do not unclip in the same way and have different connectors? My thought was being newer they might have fewer issues.

I wish I had know. Went and bought a couple on eBay. One second hand Bosch and one new mickey mouse Can't see either lasting too long so will be back to you. Just desperate to try and get enough power to have the turbo work. If I can get the thing to start consistently then that will be the next...

Would do but car is parked on the side of a busy road and at the moment battery will no longer start it. Will have to wait until I can get a jump start and move it tomorrow. I can then get it to a safer place and hopefully pick up new battery and replacement MAF
