Finally got my handbrake adjusted and working, was keen to put the centre console back in but annoying I've misplaced the bolts I was going to use for the now rivnut adorned gearbox lever plate. Not the end of the world but when you want ~20 I'm not paying what bunnings or repco want for them.
Changed o2 sensors on my V8 D2. Both sides, brand new Bosch. Also loaded the tank up with 98 octane from Costco. So now i'll hopefully get 450km out of a tank instead of 400km. [bigrolf][bigrolf]
That's a great buy and get, must admit have not looked at you pull it wreckers and but had put in request to wreckers previously and quoted availabilities and prices were NAH. Maybe a good lesson as suppose have been chasing them in LR areas where the worth is known, hmmm.Quote:

Not as exciting as blinging it up with accessories, but cheaper, keeps the brain learning.
I was of the understanding that the MAF and MAP work together to calculate fuel load/burn (probably not he right term). :question: I didn't think that the deletion of the EGR influenced this calculation. :wacko:
But I'm certainly no expert, a long way from it actually. :spudnikwhat:
Only on the later motors, I think Ray, not on the 10P.Quote:

My VDO MAF is old and crook and I have no EGR so piddled around to disable it permanently in the tune so I wouldn't see a fault on the nanocom.
15p does use the MAF for fueling so different story there. But the tuning guys can do away with the MAF on these too and tune them like they tune 10p. Offtrack has a fix on his website www.discotd5.com for the 15p tune to disable the MAF, unfortunately not for 10p so I had to figure it out by trial and error coz I can't read Hex yet.
Too many posts on forums that are actually unhelpful to Td5 newbies like me when fault finding, because people are not distinguishing between 10p and 15p motors while offering well meaning advice...[bigsad]
Fixed the AC on the weekend.
It had been working intermittently, then nothing.
Found the ground wire broken on the clutch.
The aftermarket rad hose is a little to close to the plug/connector for the clutch and had fractured the wire internally right at the pin.
So nice to have some dehum again when living in the sub-tropics.
Shame your not allowed into Queensland, Scary's pretty handy with D2 air-con. [wink11]Quote:

I have a 10P engine, fully EGR deleted.
With the MAF disconnected the auto goes to ****.
The South Africa spec vehicles didn’t have EGR and still had the MAF.
I cannot see how a company would fit a part that’s not required to its range when a significant saving could be had by a bypass pipe on that market.
Even the old Defender 10P was a pig of a vehicle with the MAF disconnected - every dealer service I knew when they hadn’t refitted the plug as off throttle response was horrendous.
Tuning for a while I tested quite a few and same outcomes.
