Gilbert, might suggest waffle filter should be set at 785 words thus allowing some of the longer posts from yourself ;-) But yeah I'll hold my hand up to going on a bit!

Morat, will need a tune up in case of lambda or MAF problem corrected, let me know when you're ready for that and/or the Jeep looking at. A couple of times I've had to weld new boss's into P38 exhausts, boss coming off with the probe / stripped threads.

I would have replied sooner but I've been getting a server error every time I've tried the 'opening time' section since my last post.

Ahh Morat here too, hello again! Gilbert told me on the other forum about the self tapper I fitted going through wiring and I'm very sorry about that... Second time I've done that in all the time I've been installing, would have found and sorted it if you'd brought it back / if I'd known. Although I knew the names Miles and Morat I didn't equate them until now, sometimes forget who I've converted vehicles for etc, both names rang a positive bell though. At the time of your install I think I said it seemed to be running almost to the extent of fuel trims on petrol, maybe due to fuel pressure regulator or AFR, so I'd aimed for a fuel trim closer to nought when calibrating the install... Or was it just one bank of cylinder due to a lambda probe?

Gilbert, Shall I change my name from LPGC to Zippy for a bit? ;-) And yes sir Mr Mod sir, what's everyone having?

Hehe! Personally I wouldn't want to pay SnapOn prices but I also avoid SnapOff type tools. I sometimes visit garages that buy SnapOn (to do work there) and seeing the look on their mechanics faces when they think they've lost a socket or something little but might have cost £10, quite a big deal, when to me losing the same bit would be a trivial loss because I wouldn't have spent the same kind of money on it, confirms to me I struck the right balance. Also no worries modifying tools (i.e. cutting up and welding to them) to save time if the tool isn't expensive, a productivity boost to boot.

In keeping with my more modest use of tools etc - Fairy liquid is apparently as good at washing plates as it is for finding leaks etc, so some should be kept in the kitchen besides in the garage.

Hello!

I'm Simon Andrew, Lpgc on Lpgforum and well known to Gilbertd from there.

Was intrigued by one of Gilbert's recent comments there, enough to sway me to look at this forum, and I might be getting involved in doing head gaskets on a P38 soon and this forum seems full of experts (including Gilbert of course) so I joined up. I don't own a Rangerover myself but I work on plenty.

Well buga me, I'm to be moderated by Gilbertd... Everything in moderation though eh Gilbert hehe!

Regards

Simon
