Hearty congratulations, James. I have followed this thread with interest and excitement, and admire your frankness and honesty as you admit the occasional mistake, or turn to your local garage for help.

I imagined it was the ECU that picked up error codes, and the reader that read them. Were the codes that only the special Chinese device picked up transient codes the ECU failed to store, or deemed not worthy of storage?

Cheers, mate, but I'm not counting the trip to the garage, as it was only to type in some codes onto a screen, due to me not having programming kit here

So the question is, which part of the engine now has bolts which are to short?

Exactly what I was wondering. That could be the next thread


Certainly pays to be entirely methodical with these things no matter how well you know and engine....

Bolts....next thread.....I see what you did there

There appears to be a rusty ring on the front of the pulley as if there used to be a spacer there.

Anyone seen a metal ring with 4 holes on it lying around?

I made an error, I'm human, the world will keep turning. None of the other bolts in the engine had any issues with purchase, so if there are a couple of mm too short, it won't cause the end of civilisation.

I do agree it looks like there was something there, AndyH. But nothing was fitted at the point I removed it. But thanks for the reminder, I may google it, and see if other cars have any sort of spacer. If so, I'll get one

90 odd miles in the last three days - running lovely, quiet, powerful, drives beautifully. I've learnt a few things, and having never worked on one of these before, I'm still chalking it up as an overall result

Sorry James - I wasn't having a dig at you.
