Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

More wiring, stupid accessories

Ripped my hair out trying to understand the vagaries of the 14CUX.

When I connect my multimeter to the fuel pump harness, I get 12V with the ignition for 3 seconds as expected, then 0V. But once it starts cranking, 6.5V.

For the time being I've spliced a live ignition feed direct to the pump and a diode in the original harness for safety's sake. Drives beautifully that way for 100s of km on end.

I'm happy enough with that fix but I just want it to run properly as the factory intended

Are you going to be transporting meat, Mariner? :P

Conducted some performance testing as part of the MAF bypass debate currently running on the D2 forum.

Last night: Took a million photos of the fuel injection system that Bee-utey installed in the County for another thread.

Also noticed that the new rear, passenger side LED tail light was out. Tested the circuit and only got 9V! Wired a temporary earth to the body and it lit up again but still only at 10V.

Hooked up the speedo cable that I forgot to reconnect when I did the indicator light mod in the dash.

Noticed that all of the dash illumination was out after I put it back together.

Cursed my fists of ham and decided to call it a night. The dash nights could wait for another night. Turned off the interior light and the dash lights came back on. Slapped forehead with my fists of ham.

Tonight: Uploaded 0.000011 million of the photos mentioned above.

ordered my parts for disc brake conversion from heystee in the Netherlands. 2 housings and 4 hubs. $2350 including freight

I found you can happily drive around with the charge light on??? Well after 250,000 km it stopped working, I can't blame it as I dunked it in the mud a few times since I bought it.

I tracked down a new alternator today. Then spent 3.5 hours fitting it.

Ok I had to grind down a 36mm spanner I had to get the fan off, check here a few times for tips and double check my work.

All good the charge light goes out.

Adjusted (again) the rear Koni dampers. This time they are too stiff!!!!!!!

Last 3 settings were too soft.

Will be doing it again tomorrow.

Haven't touched the fronts they feel good.
