true enough but the speeds are just with me in car. when fully loaded with bodys its a struggle to get up to 60 on flat roads. When she is working and on the local race track she will get upto 115 no problems. Millage is 137k on the clock but engine changed 2 years so this engine maybe has 100k on i...

cheers madmadmax but if the sensor was going iffy then starting would prob be a tad iffy but she starts first turn of the key wether hot or cold.. She only needs to last another 5 months as a taxi then she is gettting retired and put out to pasture. All the live data from planet looks ok to me but i...

Ok guys.. here we go again. Serious lack of power in 4th and 5th gear and runing out of ideas. Puggy 406 HDI 2002 RHY siemens setup. on my 3rd MAF. 2nd TPS. EGR is blanked off. Changed electrovales. Checked pipework to and from electrovales. Sucking on pipe work i can here the ( wastegate ??) openin...

a wee bit of background.. i seem to be in quite a few different boats at the moment as i must jump aboard this one as well. :frown: I snapped a spring at christmas so changed the top bearing at the same time as a new spring. just to be nice to the taxi i chanaged the other side top bearing and every...

Hammerman i had the same problems here and a second hand MAF sorted the problems no worrries.. I ran the taxi for about a month with the maf disconnected just trying to diag a fault that i still have. The first one i tried was oem off the shelf from a friendly part company and it actually made it wo...

it looks like i will have to jump onto this band wagon as well. from memory the fan has never run on my 90 hdi for the entire time i have driven it. a quick bit of testing later i still have no fan action going on. I pulled the grey relay, opend it up and checked it out and all is good I have 12v pe...

as I said above I have a clone from god knows where and it never would speak to the engine ecu (siemens) so i decided to take a punt on an earlier version and it has worked a treat. I am not sure if its a full complete version or even a hacked up version but it sure does let me read and config the s...

I have never been able to get into the siemens engine ecu untill last night.. I gave up months ago trying t read it and all i ever got was unknown ecu blaaa blaa no mater how i tried, global test. test by catagory. I found that everything over 22.15 would just cause an error but i got an old version...

I just had to get one of these replaced. boing was not the word.. more of a crunch, twang and Ooooo sh*t that just dont sound right.. Not to good when a full load of punters were in the taxi as i left the train station.. Not to worry its sorted and sweet as a nut now. 1 x Top bearing and 1 x Drop li...

I tested the g4s out on a country car park last night at the edge or town and due to the poor camera on my hd7 could not get a picture of the road or the bushes beside the car park. The only thing i noted was that everything was a cleaner light :idea: The light was just like fitting blue headlight b...

New LED's arrived and seem to be bright. :cheesy: but alas just the same once in the rear cluster. :cry: pish poor light coming out of the smoked light cluster so it looks like its back to the drawing board. I have a few pics to show the difference in light but not had time to upload them yet. I wil...

I have just tried the LED's i bought a few months ago with the bad earth now fixed the LED's stay off. Light is not any better than the 21w normal bulb so i have also orderd 2 new 43w LED lamps t give them a try. They should be here tue or wed this week coming so will find out if they are any better...

Are we any further forward on the better reverse lights ?.. My 406 d9 is a taxi and i seem to do quite a bit of reversing in and out of punters gardens/drives so need to see whats going on. Reversing sensors seem to help when the windows are all misted up and trying to reverse blind (ish) out of tig...

I tried LED bulbs a while ago but failed.. they stay on all the time as there seems to be residual voltage/current in the lines, not enough the light a fillament bulb but enough to light an led bulb (lamp cos its not really a bulb) as its an LED and requires only a tiny amount of current to light em...

Hi guys i need a wee bit o help. :idea: I need to find a live feed 12v in the engine bay for a wee test i am trying in the next few weeks The only thing is it only has to be live while the engine is actually running. Engine is a siemens RHY d9 2002 Rapier ( a bit pished and no thinking ower good) lo...
