Thread: Your diagnosis requested?

Well a week and a bit later, and I'm happy to report my Rangie is purring again.

Had to drop the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump / sender unit. Replaced the filter while I was under the car with all the redbacks. OMG what a crappy job - I can understand why people cut an access hole in the floor now. Getting it all back in was much harder than getting it out though... reconnecting the fuel filler and the breather was a b! I'm pretty sure my right arm is longer than my left now...

Yes, I know I need to tackle the solenoid at some point... but I'm not doing it right now. I do still have the window washer to replace so I can get rid of that annoying beep/message too. But none of that is preventing it from running right now.

My wife and I worked out that the Rangie has been sitting around for 4 years doing nothing - longer than I initially thought. I replaced the water pump, radiator hoses and dash about a year and a half ago and had it running then.

This time I rebuilt the EAS valve block (o-rings, new collets, compressor rebuild), oil change/filter, replaced rear seatbelts, and replaced the fuel pump/filter.

I have a flat spot on my right front tyre, so getting 2 new tyres before testing for roadworthy. Hopefully within the next few days she should be fully resurrected and registered again.

I want to thank everyone for their advice, it definitely helped in getting her running again. Very much appreciated.
