having issues with the fan staying on for the life of me i cant source the fault changed the coolant sensor and then thought it was the plug to the ecu but the ecu is reporting the right temps the fan module looked like it had seen better days so swapped it was better but still came on to early and full speed with no shut down after it drop below 85c
only thing left to look at is the a/c pressure switch

also picked up a new fuel filter and drop links its got a bobble on one side

found the issue with the fan the a/c pressure switch was reading 2600kpa so it was putting the fan on to try and get the gas pressure down simply unplugging the sensor stopped the fan

also gave the car its 1st wash engine bay had a 2ns clean also

nice and clean hopefully its dry tomorrow then it can be machine polished

bay clean and starting to dry out

just waiting for the trim dressing to dry off

soon be time to take it all apart again lol

finished the box off today
pulled the races out the case after modding a brand new tool to suit :S

washed the case out with carb cleaner

new seal and races in

gear packs back in

case all back on had to stop for the rain

went for a test drive and the stick no longer moves when pulling away and the inherent whine has gone
few more jobs to do fix the heat shields at the rear with penny washers they have rotten thru also need to find the clunk at the front

evocarlos

changed the pressure switch and now the fan is acting as normal also the ecu is reporting the a/c pressure better 120kpa and not 2600kpa

also changed out the drop links and now its clunk free on the road

evocarlos

had to do the clutch a few months ago the seal in the box was lecking and contamitaed the clutch plate

all good new seal and csc

had an issue with the high pressure pump again it seems the main bearing for the input shaft had come out of the case just enough to stop the internal pistons being pushed leading to 360kpa and not 5000+kpa
green stud lock and a 10ton press soon fixed it all back o 100% again

as i dont use this car anymore and its to good to sell ie given it to my dad as a run around hes happy with that lol

Good read mate .

evocarlos

few bits to this one
£25 led h7 bulbs the halogens were terrible

nice easy fit and all with in the cover

much better in night time driving conditions at least you can see where your going with these in

started getting misfire on #3 under heavy acceleration found the bearing in the hp pump being push out again
home made spacer to solve the issue 🙂

so far so good 🙂
