Four mentions of "VGK" in the archives, including a couple from a well-known member whom I recommend you contact. Jonathan

Quoting Pete - W.Sussex: Well mine didn't recover. Tried everything and whilst I got it up to 12.4 volts it would not even turn the ignition on. Am now taking the kind man at Powervamp up on his offer to replace the battery even though it has all been my fault.Yours should therefore be OK, now, Myles... until Pete's new one arrives. Jonathan

It will lighten the force by 3.7%. What rack do you have? What sort of driving do you do, and when does it feel heavy? Any... thigh clearance issues? Jonathan Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 10 Aug 2014 20:01:32

That off load test works roughly as follows: If the battery won't hold enough charge to show the required voltage at rest it's knackered. If it does you then need to test: * Whether it can show enough voltage under load eg starting the engine * Whether it can hold charge over time. Jonathan PS: But I am surprised that yours wouldn't turn the ignition on. Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 10 Aug 2014 18:32:29

Good news. But I'd test on load as well as static voltage before going far from home. Jonathan

Help .... tube for extracting oil from 5-speed gearbox
Jonathan Kay replied to Stationary M25 Traveller's topic in TechTalk
Can't remember what mine had but it wasn't additional sealant. You'll be fine. Jonathan -
Perhaps there's a limit on the number of their batteries working at any moment, and Pete's has recovered... Jonathan
-
... and reply in the original thread? ;-) Jonathan

Try this thread. Jonathan

Have you filled it recently? Has the level gone down? Any overheating? I'd have a good look at hoses, clamp, seals etc then clean them off, drive it and see if it recurs. Jonathan
-
*arrowup*Agreed. Friendly local member or recommended garage? If the car's OK and the wing will be discarded could you reattach it with adhesive, drill it and add a few cable ties? Jonathan

7 friendly tyre fitter and wheel balancing - herts/beds?

Herts thread Jonathan -
*arrowup*Any photos? Thanks Jonathan
-
What's your current (!) ignition system? Jonathan
-
Crosswind, change in headwind... ? Get under it, check it all out again in a bit more detail, including tyre pressures, then see if you can make it happen again. Jonathan
-
Tighten them to make it safe. Check it looks about right. Check tyres for wear. Drive it to see if the judder has gone. Would you set the tracking yourself or take it somewhere? (Crossed with previous post.) Jonathan Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 7 Aug 2014 22:08:25

Running lights: 1 2. Jonathan

Quoting Myles: Couldn't find anything in the archives (maybe my search terms were pants....)?Try "prop play". But, as above, you need to work out if it's in the joints first. Jonathan
-
Quoting Z3MCJez: Is there an advantage in having a tiny hole behind the light cluster, rather than a slightly bigger one that would allow the connector through? Seems like unnecessary effort to me (and added weight).Bigger sounds better. Don't forget the grommet on the edge. Jonathan
-
Check all the earths that might have been disturbed. Can you disconnect the wires from the pressure sensor? Jonathan
-
As above. Quoting Jonathan Kay: click here, because you're worth it. :-) Jonathan
-
Voltage at rest, idle and 3,000 rpm? Jonathan
-
There are several reports of seal failure and of leaks from other problems.Try searching the archives for "prop shaft oil seal". If you're worried about needing to check the level and fill up while you're away consider creating access through a hole in the transmission tunnel. Jonathan

Duff link: probably too few "w"s. Jonathan
