Any hints or precautions for the drill trick? Possibly something like: Get the cable run as straight as possible for the first tests.Fit the inner to the chuck.Hold the outer... by hand?Start slow?Jonathan
-
That's the way to do it. :-) SKC: is that what you've got? Jonathan
-
:-) Could you add a photo? (I have documentation and there are previous discussions on several types of immobilisers but (obviously) I don't know how to identify them or which Sevens had which.) Jonathan

Thanks. Black plastic ovoid? Jonathan

PGM "Battery Upgrade Kit", £195. Jonathan PS: Discussion of current best battery.

There was an "Endura-E" version but the dates don't match, and, as Paul says, the "EE" looks added rather than factory. Jonathan

Does it look like this? Jonathan

Can you add a photo of the fob, please? Jonathan
-
Yes. Lots of YouTube videos, but here's a nice clear wikiHow. Which model and what's the nominal range? Jonathan PS: Might you need to borrow one urgently, and where are you?

I'd start by topping up and bleeding. Then check that the heater valve opens fully. Then get it warmed up and feel which hoses are hot. Jonathan

#4: agreed. I don't think that there's any reason to think that this is connected with any other circuits, and a lot of Sevens seem to be running cool nowadays. ..I should gauage it on milage if it is a 30L tank, I can just go on mileage. That's what I'd do with a week to go, but remember the extra consumption on track! I certainly wouldn't pull the sender and float before then. But you could check the gauge reading with the sender shorted and then on open circuit. That should narrow down the fault in preparation for when you have more time. Jonathan

Where are you? ... Does it show Full correctly when filled, where does the needle go when you switch off the ignition, and does the needle behave sensibly... steady reading etc? All other instruments OK? Any recent work? Do you feel up to a few simple checks with a multimeter and wiring diagram and BlatChat? Jonathan PS: John Vine's Guide. Your set-up may not be identical but this explains what might be wrong and how to fix it.

I can send you the relevant section of the Guide if you send me a Private Message with your email address. (The template has a big central hole and two smaller holes... ) Edited: And I'll post the photo to see if anyone can work out why yours looks the way it does, Jonathan

There are notes and a template in the Assembly Guide. What model and year is your Seven? Could you add a photo of what you've currently got? Jonathan

Are they being junked at your end? Jonathan

Probably not, unless the power curve is particularly peaky or optimised in some specific way, or the road conditions or uses produce specific requirements such as power for a particular corner or sequence of corners, or for flat-out maximum, or a particular cruising speed, or drag racing. What do you use it for, and what have you noticed since the changes? Jonathan

I haven't found anything in the documentation for MoT inspections. And mine has never been checked. MOT inspection manual: cars and passenger vehiclesMOT inspection checklistCar parts checked at an MOTor the "Vision" section of the Construction and Use Regulations. Jonathan PS: I'd fit one if I had a Seven without.
