Nope, Nanocom, Faultmate, EASUnlock V4 and maybe Lynx. A reader is just that, a reader, it can only read not write.

If you've changed the TPS you need to reset the adaptive values to store the closed throttle voltage from the new sensor which will be different to the old one.

Having a good look at the fuel pressure might give you a clue. The pump runs for about 3 seconds from ignition being switched on to prime the system, then it runs while cranking and obviously once the engine starts. If it is priming but then not running while cranking that would give the problem you have.

Makes sense for it to be a vacuum take off for the brake servo which would explain why the P38 doesn't have anything connected as it doesn't need one. SAI was fitted to all NAS spec cars, not just California, one of the many subtle differences as well as the steering wheel being fitted in the wrong place.

Didn't mean to cause offence. A compressor that has a completely worn seal will still appear to be pumping air and it isn't unknown for people to put their hand next to the output and if there is anything coming out think it is fine. It's only when you find you can put your finger over the end and keep it there that you realise it may be doing something but nothing like enough. I went to look at one car where the owner said he'd checked the pump and it was fine, yet when I checked it, although it seemed to be working, there was so little pressure being generated there was no way it was going to lift the car off the bumpstops.

I don't have a problem with people fitting upgraded components when they really are an upgrade (the Direnza alloy radiators being a good example) but what annoys me is when people fit something that is both more expensive and not as good as the original purely down to marketing or perceived superiority. We've got a box of MSD distributors and ignition amplifiers that have been taken off imported cars and replaced with OE Lucas units that work far better as they were designed for the car and not a generic unit with an advance curve that may or may not be something close to what the engine requires. In fact, one particular MSD product, sold for around $100, specifically intended for use on a Porsche and claiming to give a better spark and more power, turned out to be an empty die cast box with a weight inside it. That and the stories of Arnott springs coming apart while a car is parked doesn't fill me with confidence at all.

Might be, mine shows the resolution as HD, maybe reducing the resolution might help?

Too late, you've buggered off....

Are you testing directly to the solenoids or via the driver pack? Doing it via the driver pack is the best test as it tests both the solenoid and the pack.

I posted how to test here https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/clarification-on-testing-a-solenoid.342547/#post-2305928

Morat, If I log in now, do you want to try it and see how it works for you?

When you step the valves one step at a time from the Heights tab, do you hear the solenoid click? Two things can cause a circuit to go down, either a dead output from the driver pack or a dodgy connection in the plug between the driver pack and the valve block. If you've got a spare driver pack, swapping them over and giving the connector a good squirt of contact cleaner, should sort it out. Once you've done it a couple of times, you should be able to swap a valve block and driver pack in about 10 minutes.

Not tried it but Jitsi seems to work very well, every bit as good as Microsoft Teams which I was using at work. I think it works fine for anyone that has previously used anything else (Teams, Skype, Zoom, etc) just not if there is something in the setup of the computer being used so it wouldn't work no matter what platform is being used.

Clive could be seen and heard but the audio was very muffled and quiet, David we could see was there showing the camera icon but with a line through it but no audio at all.

Up and running but with nobody other than me there....

Not regularly but it doesn't completely depressurise the springs, it just lets enough air out for the height sensors to say it is down to just touching the bumpstops. Only time I've used it is to lock the car in access for some of the very low height clearance multi storey car parks in France.

As far as battery removal is concerned, it will come back in teh state it was in when it was disconnected. So as long as it was unlocked and un-immobilised when you took it off, it will still be the same when you put it back. You may need to sync the fob but even that may have been saved.

My car is at 397,200 miles and only one of the wheel bearings has been replaced, the other 3 are original. Wait until/if they start to rumble.

Gordon isn't about but he's given me permission to become the host. Link is the same as last time https://jitsi.gjcp.net/rrpubjune and if it asks for a password, it will be rrpubjune again. I know it's July now but I'm afraid if I try to change anything I'll break it......

Will be up and running from 21:30 UK time, so that's 06:30 in Oz, sometime this afternoon in the US and late last night or very early tomorrow morning for George......

Sounds like the TPS isn't returning to the default closed throttle position meaning either a failing TPS or you got too enthusiastic when you adjusted the throttle cable. The Engine ECU will have a memorised voltage for the TPS at a closed throttle so if it is seeing a higher voltage it assumes you have opened the throttle slightly so opens the IACV to raise the revs. Apparently the throttle cable adjustment is pretty critical on a Thor and needs to be done by the book.

Maybe because yours is NAS spec but what's the pipe stuck in the red bit next to the PCV? On a UK car that is normally blanked off or is that part of the mod?

It's the colour that they called Tan originally and then called it Walnut on later cars but it looks much the same. It was the standard interior colour for Epson Green exterior except for the higher spec cars (SE and HSE) that got Light Stone Beige instead. No idea why but I have heard Tan referred to as dog poo brown so maybe that was it?

No you haven't, it'll be 21:30 tonight UK time if Gordon sets it up (or do we use the same link and login as ;last time?).
