General Discussion Area / Frustrating Sunday
« on: 20 August 2007, 06:45:24 »
Back down to Bo Bo's again yesterday for the third time to rectify the HBV problem, help him change his rear blind and fit a rear subframe bush into my Dads Elite for its MOT.

The first HBV  decided to last a week before it started leaking again  :-/ this was put down to stealers selling non genuine parts ( naughty naughty ) After another genuine one was fitted all was well apart from no hot air getting into cabin. Normally not too much of a problem this time of year, except of course the average temperature has been -8 Degrees all this summer and im sure his drive home from TB's on Saturday night wasn't much fun after 13 hours of messing about with a tractor engine in the cold and wet  :( Any way all pointed to a vac problem somewhere. Quiick manual test on HBV opened valve and hot air flooded into cabin so alls well with HBV. Vac tank working fine but just could not find anymore problems in vac system. A few calls to people in high places for suggestions and it was decided it was time for the glovebox to come out to check actuators. Well they are there and connected so not a lot else we could do without a tech2 and operator, so still no hot air >:( Going to take the actuators out of the CDX i am breaking and swop them over to see if this fixes the problem.

Meanwhile at the rear of the car BO BO is  attempting to remove parcel shelf to fit his new blind, after an hour or two of scratching heads and the odd choice word it finally agrees to let go and come out. New blind plugged into harness to check it is working before being fitted and it does, perfectly. Fit into shelf and into car and........ no, it doesn't want to work anymore, needs a hand to start an then gets stuck  >:( >:(

Subframe bush looks easy enough, four bolts and your in. Ten minutes later the old bush is out, could we get the new bush in........ could we 'dangle berries' >:( >:( >:(. It just would not go the last 5 mm, tried a few ideas we had been given, but still no luck, so we bolted it all back together and are hoping that a few days of driving will make it seat itself correctly, not something we really wanted to do, any ideas would be welcomed.

On th upside BO BO did manage to set his washer jets correctly  ;D

Anyway I need cheering up so i'm off to London to pick up my next project , 1999 ' T ' plate 3.0 Elite. Anyone interested in it  :question

General Discussion Area / If only I had.....
« on: 27 June 2007, 17:06:56 »
....the sense i was born with :-/

Have been trying to sort out which crank sensor i had as there is more than one choice !!!!!!!! Do I have the early one or do I have the later one? After an hour or two I suddenly realised i had two Meegas sitting outside, mine being a 96 and the project car being a 98, so I checked the plug on the project car and surprise surprise it is different so obviously I have the early one on my car. What a thick head, could have compared plugs hours ago :-[ Anyway heres the two types,  Can an Admin add these pics to Marks ' V6 Crank sensor replacement ' thread to stop thick heads like me getting confused in the future :y

2.5 V6 Early Type  Part No 90492006




2.5 V6 Later Type  Part No 90492061
