yes it is 5/30 when I do an oil change in the spring / summer I up it a bit to 10/30

mine at 500rpm and hot/warm at 2500 it would be hallway between 50& and 75%

if you get under the car, you should hear the spring wind up, as the actuator rod gets primed by the motor ( get someone to activate the switch - or better still "hack" the loom under the car, that will bypass a dodgy switch) I rebuilt my rear one from my old 80 - it was seized solid and full...

yes I think so - when I cleaned the actual manifold I dislodged some crap - it got sucked in on the very first starting attempt and agreed, easy start was my absolute last resort and the AA man was great, took it personally, another one would probably have left after the first couple of checks...

Hi I was told this when I had my torque converter replaced by Overland Cruisers a few years ago my car has always read low when I have had 7 people in - it does not seem to physically go into the low height setting, the car still sits at the normal (to the Mk1 eyeball) height and drive...

Mine does this, when i have over 6 adults in, i was told it is normal a "false low" reading

Following on from the hijack :-) I am toying with selling mine (MY2000) owned by me since 2008 My 5 kids have all grown up now, so simply dont drive it much But a quick look on Ebay, and seems really hard to value 4.2 Amazon 230k

OK the TL:DR version is "success" and it now starts on the button So this morning I looked at the EDU (re-seated the connector and made sure it was bolted/earthed securely) Looked at the connector to the spill valve - all looked OK still nothing, just spinning, a hand over the intake (where...

thanks Starcruiser yes, I am about to revisit it now - first port of call is to look at the EDU and the Spill valve connections a question to you and all is (to avoid checking things that are irrelevant to the problem at hand - aka not starting) the various sensors on the EGR and Inlet...

hi and firstly, thanks for the replies Fuel - the primer pump from the filter seems to have pressure, but point taken, I will take a look I did not touch the injectors, I left the inlet manifold in place (I just took off the inlet track from that goes over the cam cover) - although I did...

OKay so I cleaned my whole inlet / ERG assembly this week (minus the actual manifold)- and boy was it cruddy I suspect 233K worth of muck (I have some pics I can post) anyway cleaned it all up with petrol etc - put it back on, pretty straightforward connected all the vacuum pipes and...

thanks for posting this I did not lose the security adapter, rather it was worn and would not turn the winch mechanism I looked at taking the cross member off, but that looked like a nightmare job in the end I came up with a much much simpler (two step) solution which hopefully will benefit...
