As expected from garage specialized in electrics - "We can take a look at it, don't know how long it will take, but our rate is £90 per hour..."

How do you like this cause? "My local garage found out that the problem was a failed battery which has been replaced and everything works fine now. symptoms seemed like immobiliser failure but caused by battery going instantly dead in a 20 minute period from switching off and going back to...

Is dealer the only way? :eek:

Came to work today no problems. After work, turned ignition on for 5 secs, tried to start. No success, weak battery. Tried few more times, engine cranks, but no success. Asked colleague to pull me - strange sound, but could not start. Managed to turn engine on this way: ignition on - 2nd gear...

Hello guys. Can you please advise if oil sensor on Terrano 2 is discrete (low pressure/high pressure) or it actually sends variable voltage/resistance to ECU? The reason for my question - I want to fit oil pressure gauge, but don't want to drill a hole in the engine. Can I simply connect to...

Because shit can happen :) Last month I by accident found that I got 1/2 inch wide gap in air intake manifold gasket. And month before that I found that oil pressure (apparently) was so high that it blew oil seal and started pushing oil up to the turbo. Things were fixed, and I know that...

I never needed that and TBH don't really know it's use for me. But as I removed roof lining and want to fit few gauges above sun visor, I started thinking "what else an I stick there" way. I don't want to remove roof lining anymore, want to fit all necessary gauges and forget about it. What...

Thanks guys. By the way, what essential information can I get from boost gauge? Can it show turbo failure?

That's the question - can I get digital data like oil temp via OBD2 on my Android device? Or is it only for ECU use? I want to fit analogue sensor only as a last resort.

I thought more specific title will give me answer :) As far as I found, I will need boost gauge with tube for boost, but not sure if TD27TI has oil pressure sensor fitted and if I can connect gauge to it...

As title suggests, can I read boost pressure and oil pressure via OBD2? I tried few days ago on cheap bluetooth and Torque - no success. I need to know if I need to fit these sensors manually or can still extract data from ECU somehow. Thank you!

Yeah, will stick few photos later. I can definitely use plastic pipe and fit gauge inside the car, but just thought it will be better to use OBD information if it's available. I read somewhere that boost pressure can be take from MAF sensor, but i'm not sure if you actually get pressure...

Hello guys, I am fitting few gadget above sun visor on my Terrano 2 TD27TI - USB charger, tyre pressure monitor, fuel filter pressure sensor (I am driving on WVO). I am also keen to know air boost and motor oil pressure. Can you suggest if TD27TI has these sensors fitted and I can access them...

Guys, what is this amp for? How does it work?

Yes, that sounds like an idea... Hoists are pretty cheap, around 50-70 quid. Ok what I need then: - Perforated metal plate for the base (or even few 2-inch pieces of timber, I got plenty of it), - Steel chain (got it somewhere in the shed too) - Something (like metal plate or X-shaped thing)...

Hello guys, I have lots of space available on the loft, and thinking about making it a good storage place. Could not find any electric loft lifts in the UK, there are few available in the US, but I really don’t want to pay £60-80 of import duty… Do you have any experience with that? Anything I...

Similar system was on Soviet infantry carriers BMP (I think) as a smoke generator. Diesel was injected into exhaust manifold generating tons of smoke.

Mine does 20 mpg empty - on 100% WVO thou... 14mpg with about 1ton load and.... 9 mpg with a car in the trailer, roughly 2-2.2 ton

Hello guys, I fancy classic cars and currently have few cars in process of restoration. They are done by professional restorators I am cooperating with, so will be top quality once done. You may wish to have one yourself or maybe know someone who might be interested in owning them - in this...

Just ordered them from local Nissan dealership. IP key is £8+VAT and crankshaft key is 1.50+VAT. Nice and easy :)
