What would it cost just to have the donor one checked ?? in time and money .. just to be sure ??  

Would avoid tremendous angst if, and I know its a big if, there were actually a problem with it.

Surely worth a day or two to check it ..

my 2.7 p's (inc VAT)

43. Using a straight edge and feeler gauges, check
cylinder head for distortion along lines shown in
illustration and compare with figures given:
Longitudinal warp A = 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
Lateral warp B = 0.05 mm (0.002 in)
44. Replace cylinder head if figures obtained exceed
those given.
NOTE: Cylinder heads may not be refaced

We talked to a tech at Stanadyne. He said too many tech's change injector pumps when the problem is really the injector itself. If the injector itself is bad it won't always show up in the ODB II codes. The tech recommended we put the motor back together and find 4 injectors off of a truck that is running Ok and swap out one bank at a time to see if this fixes the "running rough/misfire" problem before tearing into the motor further.

Got the truck together last night; except for setting the timing more accurately, seems to run quite well with 4 new injectors in, rather than putting in an injector pump and who knows what else. Guess it was the injectors all along

and on a golf :

Possible Symptoms

    * Loss of Power at high Engine Speeds
    * Engine difficult to Start

Possible Causes

    * Start of Injection Timing Regulation not OK
    * Injection Pump Control Range blocked/dirty (e.g. by Metal Particles)
    * Engine has stalled / ran out of Fuel recently
    * Wiring/Connectors from/to Injection Valve (N108) faulty

Possible Solutions

    * Check/Adjust Injection Start
    * Check Fuel Supply
    * Check/Replace Fuse(s)
    * Check/Repair Wiring/Connectors from/to Injection Valve (N108)

another site .. not sure which marque .. talks about "pump advance/retard stuck in a fixed position"

probably you have already considered all these points .. just trying to throw ideas in .. :(  good luck

Incidentally, of all the Internet facing servers I have supported, a few without proper firewalls in front, the only ones that have been compromised through the OS itself have all been Linux ones...

I was at a security conference about 2 years ago when one of the speakers actually stated that his "prefered" server OS was a windows one ... his reasoning was that most high end servers used linux based OS, therefore any "serious" attacker would assume a windows based server to hold no worthwhile data and so not bother !!!! I won't comment on how THAT line of reasoning went down with the audience ..:)

Use Firefox if thats what you prefer, but do not get suckered in to the open source mindset that it is the most secure/bug free stuff out there, as Firefox actually has the worse record of the popular browsers...
And incidentally, the Linux kernel has had loads more CERT warnings that the Windows Kernels in the last 12 months, and that includes a new OS released in Nov (corporates)/Feb (Consumers)...


There is a school of thought that both FF and Linux now have enough "general users" for the idiots that do these things to think it is now worth "attacking" .. up until now the user base was too small for it to be worth it ... which is used to explain the recent rise in CERT warnings ...  

Now how true that is I have no idea .. the logic makes sense .. I don't see latest versions of FF/ Linux suddenly being  LESS secure than older versions !!

Can you not sell SWMBO and keep the 3.2 instead ??  :)


Depends on the MOT on SWMBO :D ;D


I bet the running costs of the 3.2 are less than a SWMBO ...   ;D ;D
