Good earth at ecu? Sure its a map sensor on them is it connected? That...is an excellent question. God only knows about the earth with the wiring on this thing. As for a MAP sensor I can't say I've noticed one on my travels, not that I've been looking. I'd have thought that would throw a fault ligh...

8cbrsb.jpg Had a zen day in the workshop while Sally was at work today, punctuated only by the noise of a squeaky tennis ball, and my ever more frequent "WTF?"s. Just let the pictures wash over you, and think about what a fine electrician and craftsman ol' mate Dave must be. O2 Sensor wir...

Really coming together man, hopefully just the timing now and she will run braw I wish that were true :roll: As expected, the timing was miles out, ol' mate Dave had set it at around 20° BTDC, the spec according to the Haynes book of lies is 10° BTDC. (The timing gun is set to 10° in these photos, ...

Just me in here then? :er: Oh well. Still chasing that irritating bog/stumble under power. I pulled the EGR valve to have a look, gummed right up which couldn't have been helping much.

I think there's abit of masochism in all SJ owners Hurt me, daddy. :brows: I drove the SJ to work this morning and it started bogging down and kangarooing at low rpms under load, like pulling away from the lights or coming off a roundabout. I did notice it on occasion before but it was way worse th...

Bonus 2nd Sunday Post! Sally's gone to bed with a headache or something so what better time to do some electrical troubleshooting in the dark? I've never owned a vehicle that's made me audibly go 'What the f**k?' so often as this one. I think it's about 3.5 WTFs/minute or so. I'm running out of poli...

Thanks Scott

Had a nice weekend working on and out and about with the SJ I started on saturday morning by pulling that badly fitted power steering pump off and sticking it in the nearest skip. I'll get a proper manual steering box eventually, but for now I've adapted some fittings and looped a pipe filled with A...

Howdy,

Does anyone know off the top of their head the distance between bolt centres on the factory 413 leaf spring shackles please?

I have some... less than professional extended ones fitted to mine and I'd like to make a set to put it back to how it should be.

Thanks!

Not many pictures today, but some progress. Pulled the SJ into the workshop after work today and got it ready to venture onto the open road. I repaired the radiator fan shroud and used ACTUAL M6 BOLTS to attach it to the radiator support instead of the zip ties it was previously attached with. I rea...
