Hi mate

Indeed know where ur coming from and I’d be the same in sticking with it

I posted some links for u on ur other thread

Fingers crossed it’s the last thing and ur able to have some trouble free motoring

Checked mine and found I’ve got a flat tyre, again, had it remounted twice already , strange as it’s fine for 6 x months then all of a sudden gone flat

When it leaked before I bubble tested the inside of the rim and found it leaking

Going to swap the new tyre onto my spare rim as there’s no point I feel messing around getting it removed for the 3rd time on the same rim

Once I get the other tyre removed can check the rim to see if there’s any signs of why , know there’s no dents in the rim , maybe get it shot blasted

Won’t be able to do much for a few months after my back surgery

Have in the mean time bought a Bluetooth Fobo tyre monitoring system that works via my iPad / iPhone

Also bought a T max tyre compressor, can keep that in the landy as a back up , along with some handy fittings

Hope all is well

Same to u buddy , happy 2019

Hiya buddy !

Yes I’m hoping that also but know I’ve still got other things. Mainly the rough injectors things. I’ve also noticed a rumble. Always at 40/50mph and 1500/1800 rpm. Other wise I don’t hear it. Suspect a rear wheel bearing going. Hoping it’s not a diff or transfer box but you know my luck !

I had problems with rims going down, paint corrodes off and the wheels leak.

Got one of those tmax compressors, they are really handy !

I’ll be sorting that special project out in the coming week or so mate so be in touch.

Hope your feeling a bit better.

Hi mate

Never know it may just be the injector plus the turbo throwing everything out of balance seeing so many things talk to one another , inc the gearbox etc

Thks ref the rim, don’t want to throw the rim away , will know more once I get the tyre removed and can then inspect the rim a lot closer or maybe what’s causing the issue

Also handy to know ref the T max compressor , wanted to get at least a half decent one

Thks so much once again

sorry to hijack the thread and happy new year to the team. gstuart mind sharing some information of how this bypass is done? i assume that when you are eremite and compressor dies that way you can keep the suspension operating and travel safely. mind sharing where you connect the T section and how you operate the external compressor?

thanks

Well she’s back on the ramp. Feel like I’ve had my monies worth out of the 2 poster already this year !
New turbo on its way thanks to marks top spot on eBay ! Even managed to negotiate a further £45.00 off so had it for £450 in the end. Let’s hope it’s as advertised and is indeed a brand new unit. Should be here Thursday or Friday. In the meantime I’m going to pull the old turbo out and have a look. I’m also pulling the 6 injectors out to have them tested/repaired. I would like to buy 5 new ones (I already have 1 new one) but just can’t afford to at the minute with everything else.
Given the allisport intercooler to a mate who does alu fabrication work. He’s doing a modification I’ve specified which will basically do away with the crap solid mounts which will just crack again and mount the unit with rubbers etc. The original way just promotes stress cracks from the vibration alone. I’ve read quite a few stories of this kind of failure of their intercoolers which is a shame given the cost of them !!
All in all a busy few days again. (Work still a bit quiet)
Fabricator mate also supplying some stuff for a special project I’m working on for gstuart.

Hi mate

Same to u with a happy 2019

Will u lift the body off again or do the turbo with it still fitted , seeing ur a first class expert now

Also do the injectors and intercooler at the same time

Got the small T max air compressor as previous pics, thought an ideal place to cut the tee in would be between the compressors outlet where it goes into the reservoir valve block

Then if it fails can connect the external compressor to pump the system up, will also fit an isolating lever valve in order it can then be turned off and isolated from the main compressor

Can also see in the other pic where there’s a plastic tee with an air line compressor fitting that can be tucked away under the main compressors plastic cover

Hope that makes sense

Was also looking what the amps were on the Tmax , ie if I can use it via the boots cig lighter port or will have to go directly onto the battery , can easily make up a connection lead if I’m able to but think the cig lighter is only 10 x amps

Look forward to the pics

Hiya buddy.

No !!!! Definately don’t want to pull the body back off ! Not again I hope. Lol.
