Loot and bjt custom ramblings:-)

[bigjohnthomas]

same as me

[bigjohnthomas]

I was just tinkin then.
Now that you have me worried about taking billy in tomorrow
When I booked the cervix in I asked about pcm updates and the young lady told me that as part of the service it would be plunged in and if needed any updates done
For nought
Well as part of the 200 quid
So that will be ids then
Won't it ?

[loot]

I don't know

There are machines that will do pcm update and stuff and if they can do it I'm sure it'll be fine but i was just wondering since they got no codes last time that means that the fault isn't permanent and you need it to be showing at the time of reading with the machine.
My thought was maybe only ids can see historic codes?
My be nonsense and all quality readers can access any secondary memory in the pcm(wherever historic stuff lives)

Yes?

Anyway don't worry about it I'm sure they're all highly trained and have all the correct equipment

[bigjohnthomas]

That's why I am dropping it off tomorrow so they get it cold so when it it on Tuesday morning hopefully
When I googled that message "service engine now"
The advise was .. when it happens don't switch it off , drive it to ford and don't stop it so they can find the fault
We shall see ..
Have you noticed if you flick the ignition to start it the starter keeps going till it starts
Mental init

[loot]

I think i recall mine doing that but I'm only doing small runs so i don't get stop start and things like that, think i need to swap batteries around

[bigjohnthomas]

you have 2 battery's
posh git
just flick thekey and see

[loot]

Oh yes, always carry a spare

[bigjohnthomas]

Went to pick him up ..
"Ah Mr allcock,, gonig into limp mode it was just a sensor on your inlet
And we have put a new one on now but while we were replacing the door strap we found some additional wiring inside the door
We don't know what it is but its been spliced into the locking mechanism "
Then he showed me a pic of a reed relay on his phone and said he wasn't sure what this is but it looks like a resistor of some kind, have you had the van from new ? ..oh well the previous owner must of done it

So all mended new inlet(maf? Map? Or somink?) sensor new horn and door strap and it deffo doesn't pink half as much as did yesterday
Dam good show
Bloody ford

Ah you didn't show him your mirrors working then? He'd have passed out seeing the magic
Inlet is map but these have a few sensors i think multiple iat sensors and stuff, probably best not to think about it as it's under warranty but yes take a picture of the new sensor and write down what happens when it is faulty and that might help me and others when it happens to us

Bjt's transit tuning tips 101
I'll do the same.
Loots tutes

[bigjohnthomas]

I thought it was best to keep quite about the mirrors same with the allcock extreme performance exhaust that's in the bottom shed at the moment so they dont spy it
I will get a pic of said sensor tomorrow then so it can be put on the list of "poorly designed stuff "

[loot]

List of poorly designed stuff eh? Stick this on will ya.

[bigjohnthomas]

Well its not this sensor
Have to have a good look when its dry as its a tad damp atm
I did notice that the ecu looked like someone had chucked a pint over it
Better have a look at that now its approaching 3 year old

[bigjohnthomas]

I can't see anymore sensors without taking it to bits
Thay have put bloody old codgers radio 2 on and reset the trip thing
Its took me since I got it get it up to 33.4 mpg
Its on 24mpg now best not let miss allcock see that shell go bonkers the mk7 never went below 36
Bloody ford
Paint shop next for a tin of black stonechip to spray under the back end when it drys up before the hyper scaffold performance exhaust gets re fitted

[loot]

I'm finding that exhaust a little bit comical i did it on my focus

Can't you go and show it to a nice bender? I bet they'll knock up a nice replica for a couple of turnips

Only reason i day Isa's because i think all the welds inside will cause terrible flatulence
