The odd thing is Richard, my brain is saying yeah but no but lol
With the tape it looks good...
It is certainly better than this!
which was "standard" lol
My bubble says it's spot on..
Just calibrated Standard and Wade..
"thanks Richard"
She's sitting at 18" from centre of the wheel to the arch..
Does that sound about right? " in standard"

It's a miracle motor Chris putting her in gear kills it though!!
Richard i'm guessing its a good motor then!!
Just a general question..
My recent idle issue has made me think of oil pressure, today it has been sat at 150rpm when cold and 450 when hot, one thing i noticed is the Oil pressure light didn't flicker or come on solid..
Also when turning her off the Oil pressure light takes 7 seconds to come on again...
I'm guessing that is a good thing.. ??
She is running 10w60 Castrol Edge..
Motor sounds lovely too, even at a stupidly low idle!
One thing of note "not at all related" is even at 150rpm the oil pressure light stays off no flickering!!
And yes before anyone says it, the light does work!!
Just replaced the drivers door latch with one Marty rebuilt, which was the one she had originally, that was new but needed a little fettle..
Works pucker, and stops the random locking!!
Happy as a cat with 2 arses.
Oh and the water ingress has halted, no more water pissing in..
The car smells much nicer inside too, the damp smell has disappeared!
Thanks Brian the breather in the rocker cover was loose, i've put it back on with a new clip..
I haven't restarted it yet!!
Symes it does it on Petrol and Gas
Richard..
She's running on both petrol/Gas she starts on petrol and the idle drops to 100 and it then cuts out, it is running on all 8 with no missfires..
When she starts to warm up the idle raises up to 450rpm on Gas and Petrol she runs great on both but the idle is crazy low..
H
Right it has started to Die when i start it from cold..
It is running on all 8 very well the idle is just all over the shop..
It is idling at 100rpm..
When it starts to warm up the idle raises to 450rpm.
Looks like it has failed completely..
Oh well..

You don't need to remove the side trims..
i joined 2 years ago today!
I didn't have to remove the side panels to get the scuttle panel off of mine
My side panels are glued on aswell as screwed!
Thanks for that Richard greatly appreciated..
Now I understand!!
I'm not the sharpest knife in the box.

A question gents, i've made the blocks for the EAS..
How do i re-calibrate the EAS?
Do i do it with the engine on?
Door open?
What do i imput into the fields?
When i input the "get heights" button with the blocks in nothing changes?
I pulled my dust shields off and left them off..
They do more harm than good IMO..
The rear brake back plates on mine made a noise similar to that when they were trying to fall off.
Could also have a look at the UJ's on the prop
Oil pump in the Autobox yes
Transmission pumps are driven directly from the engine through the torque converter. The torque converter is mechanically attached to the engine's crankshaft causing the pump to operate whenever the engine is running. that is the reason why a worn or faulty pump makes a whining noise in all gears, including neutral and "in some cases" park..
Looking forward to your progress with the M57 swap
The brakes on mine are really rather good...
Mintex pads all round..
Right...
It turns out i'm a retard..
This video has shows what to do!!
I was relentlessly stamping on the "write" button!!
Ahh!!
Of course it is pissing down with rain at the moment!!
Tomorrow eh!!
Right...
I have the Cable that allows a good idle.
I now have a new question..
It stays green however occasionally it flashes for 1/2 a second "no idle" but it is for a split second.
Using the "height sensor" section of the software I can move each corner individually, of course it doesn't sit there but it is communicating.
My issue is I can't write any new heights in, as the "write" section is still red..
A slither of good news is there are no faults recorded..
yay..
Is there a song and dance i have to do to allow the car to get new heights?
Do i have to have it in access mode?
etc etc
Cheers gents.
Sounds to me like the Front pump in the Box..
