Never ben unplugged AFAIK

However perhaps both are on their way out.

As to car work - I have a great big white box in the way of my garage. :-[ :-[

So where do you live Welung?

didnt you drop them when you did you head work?


No, and I can't even get a spanner on them.

Can't get car in working spot as the caravan is in the way.
I think Jimbob meant the downpipes. I normally drop the downpipes and disconnect the lambdas so I dont stretch the wiring, maybe thats the problem.

Jaime'll soon move it. Have you got a can of petrol and a match? Oh, and a dustpan and brush. ;D

Worth checking the live data before anything is cleared. In particular, look for activity on both Lambda sensors (might need to fast idle it for a minute to wake them up). Also check MAF reading at idle and fast idle, and see what the fuel trim values have done on both banks.

I will need you as I can't do them without dropping the centre sections as I won't fit.

Thanks

I'll need to check with Sue, and also get gas.

How long does it have to cool for before you can fit them?

Will we need to get plenum off?

You are talking to the person who had to take the head off to get the B bolt off!!!! :-[ :-[

Would unbolting that blooming great big ironing board that someone has bolted to the boot help?
