Scott Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Glad it's OK. Remember and bleed the radiator, it may have some airlocks. Also, keep an eye on your oil level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Is the pump gubbed or is it just needing bled? Basically mate had a leaky system so replaced it all. The replacement pump is fine, the reservoir is not. So I need to switch over the reservoir tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I changed the pump Scott for a supposed know, good pump that was incomplete. Scavenged the regulator from the old pump, refitted it and its groaning for England. Suggested to Mr Ken that maybe the res mesh filter was clogged so either clean or replace with the old res. Not a huge job but just a ball ache when you get 'good' parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hmm. It has just developed an odd stutter while driving through town, almost slightly struggling for power. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hmm. It has just developed an odd stutter while driving through town, almost slightly struggling for power. Any ideas? Sounds like it's not firing right still. Is everything definitely spotless? The soot removed from the plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes mate I actually changed the plugs for brand new ones and in between thoroughly cleaned the plug sockets etc. Also removed all the leads and cleaned them up too, and they are definitely in the right order.

Kendo11 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Still no news. Has been sat in a friendly garage for the past couple of days, should hopefully be looked at tomorrow in between his existing bookings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Not sure mate, although the leads were in very good condition so I'd imagine relatively recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd take it apart and have a look at the contacts mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Doubt it. Codes generally don't cause intermittent stutters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 All sorted! Turns out the ecu was full of errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 All sorted! Turns out the ecu was full of errors. Are you sure that's the reason? I can't imagine a stored error code causing any problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 It had a few stored mate, from the plugs and leads getting coolant all over them, me driving it with the plugs in wrong, and a couple from previous problems. Either way it is definitely driving as it was before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Now you've got me worried haha. I'll keep an eye on it mate hopefully it's sorted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
