I have been having the same MIL light and stalling problem as Shaun AFC. Checked the ECU code and sure enough---- up came the dreaded 47. Will live with it for a while. Am VERY interested to know how you get on Shaun. Had a quick look for the crank sensor but couldn't readily see it. Perhaps I...

Breeze block...........' cos its seems to have the aerodynamics of one.

SSTEVE My point exactly-- you can't find most leaks by vacuuming. Please see para 2 of my previous post. I must admit that I did not have nitrogen available so I used compressed air but I did leave the system under 28in HG for 48 hours to dry it out. The output temp at the dashboard...

Air conditioning. My T2 a/c was not working. Saw a green dye leak on HP pipe which runs along top of rad. Managed to cure it with ally sleeving and took car to Kwikfit for a regass. Lasted a few days but had to take it back and get refund. Found that they do leak tests by watching if vacuum...

Where's all the pics then Zip ? :augie

Well done that man---and vehicle-----hope it does you proud for a long time yet :clap

That leaves a lot to the imagination :augie

Sorry, it seems that my pic is too big. Doesn't want to upload. Would be happy to email if you like.

Fitted boost, vacuum and volts guages to door pillar. Photo attached ( I hope ) They look a bit "in yer face" as seen on pic but they are really well out of line of sight for driving. Only reason for installing them was; I like to see what's going on under the bonnet ------- oh ! ----and it...

For what it's worth I think ZIPPY has a good approach to this. Perhaps a packing plate / shim / sliver of plastic or anything which will stop the pedal going back to "idle" could be slipped in somewhere around the accelerator pedal ,(at least just to try it). Simple is beautiful---I am the...

Those idle revs seem fairly low, lower than mine. I get about 800min cold and no aircon on . Could it be that your tick-over is so slow, during idle, that your fuel pump isn't getting up to pressure and atomising the diesel properly. You say the engine runs OK when on the road and under load...

Funny you should call it the "brick". My family call my Terrano "the breeze-block" :( Something to do with a firm ride, aerodynamics, weight I suppose. :augie Anyway; the grandkids love it.; they recon it's "COOOOOOL":thumbs They prefer it to their parents Disco and Beema.:clap:clap:clap:clap...

F G S send ZIPPY some pictures BAT;)

Often wondered if any caravans had hydraulicly operated brakes but never met one. All mine have been cable operated over-run and worked very well when serviced regularly. There can be some peculiar reactions from auto reverse mechanisms though. Alarming if you don't know about them and expect...

Ladies and Gents, Girls and Boys. This "Gentleman"--Mr Williamson; has obviously not done much research; however, he shows some wisdom because he owns a TERRANO-:clap Let us remember recent club events when most of us mucked in to help someone, who although less fortunate than many...

Thanks ZIPPY; Will consult the Willow bible if I get desperate--but thats a long way off yet I hope.:augie Was hoping some of the club wizzkids might know of some part which is common to these three indicators. Any ideas would be geatfully accepted:bow :thumb2

Erotic instruments---- No ;sorry ERRATIC instruments. My fuel, coolant temp and outside temp indicators sometimes stay on a long time after the ignition is switched off. Sometimes they all come on on their own with no ignition on and then go on and off spasmodically. They each work correctly...

Mk III facelift engine noises -----went to a couple of breakers and got 2 under-bonnet "felt" panels ----nailed them on with some Halfords widgets. Can hear my radio and satnav now. :clap ( Down side--can hear the back seat driver too):naughty

How the heck did you get to India so quickly Briggie? Hope you are feeling better:thumbs
