Had a tinker this morning, trying to get performance up. Off with the plenum, off with the breathers.

Breathers slightly blocked, but not bad. Cleaned those out. Off with throttle bodies, Got a mountain of crud out of the throttle body (rear). Gave ICV a good clean out. Tidied up some Vacc pipes.

Put it all together - (all torqued properly with my new torquewrench) and she fired up without a fault light, and seems to rev more freely from idle.

I'll give it a test in a bit.

My only real reason for doing this, was that I wanted to have a good scrout around for where to put LPG components..

I bought the LPG kit on Saturday, not heard from the seller yet  :-/

Ah yes.

I fixed a rattling heatshield by the rear silencer and fitted a computer fan in the climate panel to replace the failed air sampling one on mine.....a couple of nice easy jobs.

I cleaned my ICV and had a good poke around the back end but still couldn't figure out where my clonking on cornering is coming from.    Need to sort my diff pinion oil seal though as its pretty wet around there.

Yes, I have 2 that need doing (AA's and mine).

I will do mine first (coz its been a few years since I last did one and I would prefer to get my hand back in on my own) and post pictures to go with the maintenance guide when I do it.

pics would be a great help Mark

diff oil didn't come out of the filler but the level was just below - will be topping it up next weekend.   Still would like to sort the seal out as its causing quite a mess under there.

Was that on your facelift??

Umm.   That reminds me. Mine appeared to have a substantial black mark around it when I had it up on the ramps at WIM the other week. Must have another look at that and see if it's leaking.

No, pre-facelift

And I spent all day Saturday fixing the rather mail server  

On Saturday, I managed to get the parcel shelf back in the MV6, complete with working blind (had to make 1 worker out of 2 busted ones), so at least I did something constructive this weekend - as Mrs TheBoy was out most of the weekend, I had big plans to get loads of stuff done, but achieved very little

Buggar.....was hoping you'd tell me the easy way to change mine (sampling fan).....the program i dont have seems to imply you have to take just about all the centre console apart  

And was gutted yesterday......forgot to check an ebay item......climate panel for a facelift went for £12

If you want someone to drink your tea, eat your neatly arranged choccie biccies, and hand you spanners, you know who to call
