seafront nr Chalkwell Sunday 19th about 2pm ish....a cracking day

thanks Ed...that would be me - I live just up the road in Smalley. Just on the way to get fuel prior to evening blat :)

Hi Malc.....hope you're well. I have a TPS taken from my car last year when I was trying sort a problem. If that's not suitable (from SLR), I can still get Rover parts from my former employer if you have a part number.

give me a shout on 07528 825805 as I'm heading Liverpool tomorrow for a conference and could take TPS with me

all the best

echo Nick's comments. I spent a few hours walking the circuit to watch the racing at night well away from the GP circuit...out on the Nordschleife proper. All kins of crazy shanty towns get assembled -takes the locals days.

Spent a pleasant 45mins chatiing to 4 local guys 'n gals after i tripped over a tree root. Was then asked if 'I fancied a sausage' which was bit disconcerting in a dark German wood at 2 in the morning - thankfully they meant a bratwurst - or at least that what they told me it was*hehe*

not a corporate event - just lots of mad locals having a great time

I have recently fitted a new tank. When I removed the old tank and disconnected the electrical feed, I noticed that the connector on the pump side then became loose, thereby making reconnection impossible once fitted to the new tank  - ie. nothing to push against.

Before disconnecting I'm sure i noticed that the black electrical connector on the wiring loom side pushed into the pump connector so that it was flush with the tank.

I asked a local auto electrican if he could refix the fuel pump connector  to the fuel pump body so that it was firm. He has done this but the loom connector now sits about 10cm proud from the tank side.

I now have a major fuel leak from this area....something is not sealing right

Anyone know of a decent pump repair outfit in the Midlands.

Pump works fine - it's just that the leak will screw my fuel consumption*banghead*

Ok thanks all. Time to remove scuttle and investigate

Got a shiny new tank and with the car having a Stack8130 - I set about the calibration process.

I have donwloaded the manual from Stack website.

I have added my 4 litre 'reserve' and then, as the good book, says tried to enter calibration mode - which should be buttons 1&2 together (left to right)

At this stage dash should read:

Tank Qty          0L

Reading        255

However when pressing buttons 1&2 I get following display:

Stack 800      V5.10

ST8130KMP    11/09/02

I'm pretty convinced buttons are wired 1-4 left to right because 3rd button from left changes the display layer - confirmed by the manual

any advice gratefully received*banghead*

wanted to form the basis of a mould for some experimentation. Paint can be shabby but shape intact

cheers

looking for a trailer on behalf of friend with an MG TF...please blatmail, or post here. 

thanks 6SM- wlll pass it on

*thumbup*On behalf of a mate and his recently acquired track day device!

Engine is installed in a 2002 MG TF 160. The engine starts fine & idles smoothly, but when it's revved, it hits a limiter at about 5,750rpm. Snap-On diagnostics yields fault code P1522 which it says is "Variable Intake Solenoid #2 Circuit Malfunction". The solenoids are both measuring the resistance they should (7 ohms) and the brown, blue and black plugs to solenoids and temp sensor are all plugged in as they should be. Any help on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks
 

Sounds a bit ECU to me..but would welcome more knowledgeable input

Hi Finlay,

Just fished out a lens from the bits bin in the garage. I'll do you a deal on postage! How about I deliver by hand in the 7 if you pay the ferry 😬

Only joking, happy to post....or thinking about it a fellow 7er mate who lives near me is heading to outer Hebrides in a week or so, I could ask him if he could help out

Rog

Just in case anyone has upgraded or has one lying round gathering dust

Thx

Rog

Hi Rog ...keep forgetting about Spotted..think this is my first

Good to meet you too....shame about the weather that day 😬 😬

Hope your team enjoyed the rest of your walk

Rog

as I have a pin hole in tank and will patch short term. I was wondering if anyone had an old tank lying around spare...preferably without hole 😬

thx

Rog
