Re: Road Tax

That started from this year so depending where your tax was due in the year it may not have been noticed yet.

As far as the original post is concerned, it should fall under this ...

Re: stepper and ECU for single pt system

Only answer I can see to that is that they haven't consistantly used the same colour wires? Multimeter buzz out would tell you that. Long as it works doesn't matter for you as you have both options there anyway?

Re: stepper and ECU for single pt system

Your terminology is fine - WTV really shouldn't have used the connector they have as it is the same connector as the standard serial one on a pc (DB9 if you want to be specific) but the signals and voltages carried on it are not standard serial (RS232) standard.

If you look at the Landi Renzo ...

Re: stepper and ECU for single pt system

The photo I posted of the WTV box shows the pinout? Between that and the photo from Pinger of the adaptor that should give the needed info?

FYI not sure sure if you realise Pinger, but you can't use those WTV adaptor cables just into a serial port, you need that black box or the usb lead to go with ...

Re: LPG petition

Yep, much the same here, the only remaining station here is luckly just off the motorway junction, though I don't always pass that way, so it can mean a trip across town to get to it some times.

At least its still here for now. Know what you mean about stations you drive past that have stopped it ...

Re: stepper and ECU for single pt system

Don't know - working off the manual alone isn't really helping unfortunately.

Bear in mind that the pinout for the stepper may also be different was what I meant to say above as well as the rest of the spec.

Re: stepper and ECU for single pt system

The photo (and colours) I think are the ones on the interface in the photo, the pinout should be the same though.

Green according to both manuals is level sensor - depending which sensor you have fitted its either used or not along with the white wire (do you have both the manuals? If not drop me ...

Re: lpg shortage ?

That seems to be delivery related rather than repairs, same with Addlestone. Both are annoying to have out of order as they are a bit of a distance to gamble with. Same with Grovebury, I can come back that way with a 15 minute detour but its pointless when its out of order (which is around 50/50 ...

Shell Broughton in MK finally back on today.

Bottles wise, there seems to have been a problem since covid appeared, lots of places will fill a bottle you already have, but not able to sell you a new one.

Re: Pending fault codes P1171 and P1174, tuning advice needed please

I believe all disco 2 v8s are Thor types? You or Gillbertd would likely know better about that. Mine is pre face-lift 2000 x reg and that is a Thor if that's any help?

I'd assume Thor to be fully sequential?

Yes I used to use Colney all the time (when it was actually working). Watford not so much as it was inconveient due to being out of the way.

I've filled up there as well last week, I wasn't so sure it wasn't the pumps being in a bad visibility place for drive offs that they did that or they were running low on some tanks, but maybe its just like that?

Short term wise, look at the "support" Shell gave their H2 refuelling network - pulled ...

Re: LPG petition

The problem has a couple of more less than obvious elements

Having a tank sat there costs them money. This isn't obvious until you realise that the fuel storage capacity is used to calculate how much the filling station has to pay towards the local fire service for reasons that should be fairly ...

Re: LPG petition

Low sales are more down to their unreliability than anything else. London gateway services probably your closest next option. The Esso off junction 9 does do it, but at a price of 130.9 it's not worth it. There is a boatyard in Watford area shown on autogas.app but I've not used it to confirm, and ...

At the moment that seems a bit of an issue, hopefully that will sort itself out when it warms up a bit more, https://autogas.app/ should give an idea of what's available locally to you. Asda and Morrisons seem more reliable than other outlets at the moment. the few Shell stations that still have it ...

Re: Pending fault codes P1171 and P1174, tuning advice needed please


Cheers Brian. Makes sense. So I might be good if I adjust the pressure and remap then. As mines just been sitting there not in use for a while maybe that stiffened it up a bit? I do have a repair kit here for it. Are they worth using or is it best to just replace if it comes to that?
I'll check ...
