Here's Lifeline's form for refill and servicing Jonathan
-
Yes, but only by specialists. Think about the possible additional cost of refurbishing it afterwards. Jonathan
-
Who made it? Jonathan

This looks similar: hope it helps. Jonathan

Thanks for the advice: just done it. No problems. Used the Gunson Eezibleed and a reservoir from Draper which has a one-way valve. Everything fitted including one of the included caps for my reservoir. Took about 1 hr but could be done a lot faster. No fluid where it shouldn't be. No air gap but colour of fluid changed enough. I had to reinflate the tyre a few times which surprised me. 1.4 bar. The bottle which I didn't put the fluid in doesn't do anything apart from wasting compressed air, it would be sensible to join its two hoses end to end. Jonathan

Try Redline Jonathan

:-) TPIWWP, in particular the one of you just leaving the ground at zero speed. Have you ever tested how close you can get doing it that way? Jonathan
-
Have you got access to a big torque wrench for the hub nuts? Jonathan
-
That should be fine... I'm just intrigued as to why the end was stripped! Jonathan
-
Antenna for immobiliser? In which case it's the only wire that requires the end not to be connected... Jonathan

Thanks for the additional information. 1 Ignore the running on for the time being. Might just be the back EMF from the radiator fan. 2 Voltages as above. 3 Electrical connections: you can just look and wiggle, or you can break, inspect, clean (cloth and fluid up to light abrasion) and reassemble. 4 I don't know my way around all all the sensors or a logical way to test them... Good luck Jonathan

Great description. Lengthy is good. 1 Whom (roughly) did you buy it from? If it's a dealer or similar I'd suggest it goes back to them for diagnostics on the ignition and the valve timing. 2 When was the engine last running well, when was the rebuild done and what has been done to it recently? 3 This won't account for all the problems, but let's make sure you're getting lots of volts. What's the voltage before starting, when cranking and at idle? Does the cranking sound fast? 4 You might like to add where you are. There are some very helpful members around... 5 Don't despair: you'll get this sorted. Jonathan

I've got the Assembly Guide "Version 05.12". Send me a BM and I'll send a copy. Jonathan

*arrowup*Thanks. So someone was thinking of this sort of architecture. Jonathan

Quoting elie boone: ... I would split up the compressor in 2 smaller one's if I want to reduce lag.The problem of inertia should be reduced by the electric drive to the compressor. Jonathan
-
Quoting Martin Jeffrey: How long before this technology filters down to an AMG road car?The McLaren P1 uses electric drive to the wheels (not to the turbocharger) to fill the gap from turbo lag and similar undesirable non-linear behaviour. I presume the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive does something similar but I don't know. But for ordinary road cars I predict that electric drive with hybrid sources will dominate. That way the ic engine can run at optimal conditions without constraint from the connection to the road. The F1 approach should wake up interest in this. Jonathan
-
Fascinating, thanks. I wonder what else they get up to with that shaft. It might not be a simple locked drive. The electric motor that spins up the compressor has to be connected somewhere. Jonathan

Quoting Andy Lef: My old wheel was a racetech (round and 260) centre marker is 1/2cm lower on the centre face than the new Spa wheel.Have you got the centre of the new wheel identified on the side you want to mark up? Is there a link that would show us the MOMO template you want to use? Jonathan

I'd use Sikaflex because: * I know lots of other people do * It did what I wanted last time * I need to be risk-averse in my choice * They provide lots of information on the website. I'd use something else, if: * I knew it was better (or as good but cheaper). The best evidence I could get would be a back-to-back test by someone independent, but failing that good experiences from lots of users I trust might do it. Arguments from plausibility wouldn't carry much weight. So if I was selling another product in this market I'd make sure there were back-to-back tests out there. Jonathan
-
Yes, but that "is, or should be" still hovers, and I don't know what the tester's system will show for your car. I have previously shown the rules for my K-series to a tester when the car wasn't identified by the system and that worked. Any particular reason for not going to a tester who is familiar with 7s? Jonathan

If you want to find some locally try marine fitters and caravan fettlers. Jonathan Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 8 Apr 2014 23:56:32

It's too complicated for me. Here's the MoT Inspection Manual with the decision rules. Jonathan Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 9 Apr 2014 07:45:37

Got them. Abbreviations for colour of wiring (may contain references to Land Rovers) Commonly used wire colours for British cars and more of the same. ... we're looking at the Sigma engine harness and the Sigma main harness, standard instrumentation. Jonathan
