You managed to get of the pit then mate lol
The MSD kit is on my to do list for sure :)

[p fandango]

You managed to get of the pit then mate lol
only just, can't be bothered to move now tho lol

The MSD kit is on my to do list for sure :)
i think IPD charge over £100 for that coil lol

[p fandango]

first off, i'm not even sure why i bothered doing this myself. But i'd got spare headlight cases & plenty of sheet aluminium so made headlight blanks. I'm more than happy with the current intake so not putting that there, put the headlights back & leave the blanks in the garage i guess lol

haven't had chance to work on her much & couldn't be bothered grinding or get the intake gasket on so just messing about today really. I've got a few days off soon & hopefully get her running again then, got a few expensive things to sort for the MOT (tyres & windscreen) but she'll be back this year :biggrin:

i'm only running 16's so yeh they'll be cheap, thanks for the offer on the brakes i might have to take you on a new set of discs but the main thing is replumbing, bleeding & freeing off the handbrake at the minute

[p fandango]

[p fandango]

we have a video, it doesn't end like it should tho lol. After a few minutes cranking i realised i hadn't heard the fuel pump pressurise. Bit of investigation & 4 wires coming from the tank were cut in the engine bay, looks like it had been wired thru the ABS so got to sort that out. Other than that everything seemed to work, didn't check the spark so we'll see once the fuel pumps rewired

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF0BRMP167Q

Bet you was all excited as well.... reckon BT sounds as tho as she is laughing at you...LOL ..Glad you know the problem tho... hopefully an easy sort out.... looking good mate..

i'm more nervous than excited tbh, not sure if its me but she had gained a rhymic thump while cranking. I'll only be happy once she starts

[t5 pete]

Its about time pedro lol

[kee1173]

could nt hear that in the video.....i know you know your stuff but where the fuel not coming up, is it not a pop of sorts....used to get this on my Merc 300ce on start up from cold ...take a while for the fuel to come up but as its cranking you would hear a sort of thump/pop for a bit until the fuel was pumping properly.....prob not explained clearly but until fuel pressure was there, it would try and start on the fumes causing it to pop but did sound a bit thumpy....after that explanation think i need more meds LOL ..least i know what i mean LOL

i get what you mean but not convinced, seems to much of a pattern to it & if that was the case i'm sure the engine would of sucked its own fuel thru if there was a way thru without the pump working. It does sound like a pop/thump of sorts so don't think its a bearing gone or anything. Get the pump running first then see what's up lol

[claymore]

I would be inclined to turn it over without the plugs in for a couple of minutes to get a nice bit of oil pressure through the system.

[kee1173]

Glad you knew what i meant, i got lost half way thru it....LOL

yeh i cranked it over for a while with the HT lead off

bit of an update, found out the green wires are nothing to do with the pump i guess its the fuel gauge. Went out with the test probe & couldn't get a reading off the pump wires, chaced the earth & nothing so cleaned the paint off & got a connection then. Turned the ignition on & still nothing so sent a positive thru & the pump it san up, tried to fire it but no different but the pump pressurised afterwards so its all working now, but the batteries flat again lol

[p fandango]

& just realised when i'd got the pump working i hadn't took the bung out the air intake, no wonder it wouldn't fire lol

[claymore]

yeh i cranked it over for a while with the HT lead off



No, you need to take the plugs out, so that the engine can turn over quicker with no compression.

[JelT5]

....after that explanation think i need more meds LOL

So do I lol

[p fandango]

No, you need to take the plugs out, so that the engine can turn over quicker with no compression.
ah right, might try again tomorrow if its nice & can find the charger

[p fandango]

its finally turned up, cost about £190 in the end with import tax but did get 2 stickers with it lol

http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy196/pedro-fandango/Volvo/BT/Misc/Photo0307.jpg

[JelT5]

At that price you should get at least another 20bhp per sticker lol

i certainly hope not because i've removed all the internal reinforcements on the bumper as well

i had a nudge bar on my old Jeep with no problem, just going to get as much done that i know about then see what they say at the test centre (i think even they may scratch there head over some of the things lol)

[kee1173]

Think the nudge bar thing was down to the year of the car, ie when the nudge bar ban was brought in think if your car was built afterwards and one was put on then that was why it failed, something like that.......Tell the mot testers you have had the car from new and thats how the dealer sent it to you, said it was a special edition....LOL

ah & there is another thing, i adjusted the bonnet pins (well almost). I know your not going to believe me, but the front pins were bolted using 17mm nuts while the rears were 19mm, & i hadn't got 2 x 19mm spanners so couldn't undo then to lower the rears down

yeh, but they've done that to try hide the fact its a Peugeot lol

[p fandango]

i had used the perforated strip to secure the ends of the front bumper, but wasn't happy it was strong enough so thought "sod it" & used the extra bonnet pins i'd got spare. Got to get some recess plates (like on the bonnet) to flush them in, then i'll probably do the same on the rear bumper

not much visual progress over the weekend but have got alot of parts sourced, high-current relay & holder for the power steering has turned up, bulk order of splice connectors for the wiring, MEGA MEGA thanks to si850r for all the cable ties, got a tin of satin black to do the bonnet, got the L-section to strengthen the rear bulkhead. Plus i've ordered a new battery cut-off switch, recess plates for the bumper supports & ordered the bits to convert to wheel studs

also treated Mr Angle Grinder to this

looking good mate!

I do like the new door cards, they look the mutts!

and watch out for that cut-off........I had to change mine, as that type will
encourage engine run on and damage the alternator too, if your running 1?.

Really need to get 1 with the extra terminals and resistor, for example:

cheers mate, have got an alternator but need to find a custom mega-short belt to fit. I'm already on my second cut-off as the first had terminal issue & would cut the power if you weren't holding the wire/terminal in the right place (not much good to do when driving lol), but i'll look into the relayed ones

i think it was trying to make one tin do the whole bonnet tbh mate, could do with another coat lol

To stop it looking 'Stripey' you'll need to spray wet on wet, think you may struggle with tins. Need to blacken them bonnet pins as well, they look a bit odd being silver.

[p fandango]

removed more of the metal scuttle panel lip, don't think i'll have any trouble with heat under the bonnet lol. I'm also on the lookout for a smaller brake servo as well

made an adaptor to fit the master cylinder directly, just got to make the linkage from the pedal box now. Does anyone know if the smaller brake reservoir off later 850's fits onto the same master cylinder? need to replace mine anyway as its got a rattle

i've gave up on BT's paint because of all the scratches etc, once she's back & fully on the road i'll treat her to a full respray. How is the Judgemobile?


I need details on your braking system sometime..
have you got the later ABS on yours? If it is the speedo reads thru it so have to do a bit of rewiring if you want to remove the ABS. Removed the servo but everything else is the standard 302 set-up, going to remove the disc splash guards when i can be bothered soon

[JUDGENINJA]

Mine is still in the same condition from 2 yes ago. My big project is fitting porsche brakes front and back. I'm going to attempt 335mm discs from a xC90... Many say it can't be done..we'll see....

Need about £5000 to finish it properly.

330's fit so only an extra 5mm, you getting special caliper brackets made up? You had the lightened flywheel fitted as well didn't you?

she is getting closer, now runs & moves (no brakes yet) but got quite a few things to get done before she can get back on the road legally (windscreen, tyres, rad plumbing). Still on target for this year if i can stay doing the work needed & not working or spending my money on other mods which i tend to do lol

[JUDGENINJA]

No the flywheel is a solid flywheel skimmed by SW Autos. It was extremely cheap mod to do whilst I had the engine out. I'm thinking that I want to remove as much dead weight from the engine which'll make it run lumpy, but make me smile.

Ever heard of anyone 'blading' the crank to remove weight?

have heard the ME7 crank is lighter, i'm planning on getting one & sending to local engineering shop to lighten it some more. They said they can make me flywheel so might be an idea to see how much they want, they do alot of work for Jaguar racing & the Peugeot Rally teams

changed the master kill switch because i couldn't get a good contact & she now starts perfectly & with no effort at all now thanks to the MSD. Not sure if she's got a slight misfire or its the engine noise but she revs fine, i'll check her over & change the oil

already got everything thanks, just need new lines making because i've removed the ABS

evening.........
is there an easy way to "turn off" the ABS?
I want to try mine without it as I think its too sensitive.
If not, how much grief is it to remove the system??

oh and this pcv can I remove that too?

there must be a fuse that powers the system, just not sure which one it is

as for removing it it is quite easy, just cutting all the wiring from the system & repiping the brakelines back up in a different configuration. We've got the bonus that because ours are early T-5's the speedo is took from the gearbox & not from the ABS system

[p fandango]

oh and this pcv can I remove that too?
tbh i don't know the side-effects of removing it yet, purely trial & error so i wouldn't yet if i were you

wheel nuts were sent first class saturday so won't be far away

[JT]

but i could find the right fuse and run the car without it ?

[p fandango]

but i could find the right fuse and run the car without it ?
i think if you remove fuse 9 the ABS shouldn't work LINK (http://www.box.net/shared/mncgf7olzq) (only theory but worth a try)

[p fandango]

fuse 14 & 29 are also labelled as ABS so might have to try a combination or just one of them. If the system detects a fault the ABS should automatically be deactivated so losing power to one of the circuits should be enough, but not tried it myself

[JT]

your not gonna send me straight into the tyre wall are you ???:lol:

[p fandango]

your not gonna send me straight into the tyre wall are you ???:lol:
well, first dibs on the rollcage just in case lol. I'd try it around the paddock first, but it should just turn the ABS off if anything is wrong (ie losing power to it) & give you normal braking

[JT]

lol, no worries, i'l have to try it,losing too much ground in the braking area!
along with all the other probs with it at the mo! lol

what brakes you running? the "other problems" bit doesn't sound good!

[JT]

brakes are standard size drilled/grooved with EBC yellowstuff pads, which work fine,except for the pre-mentioned ABS.

I have a fuel surge problem,so anything under 3/4 of a tank and it starts to cut out after corners.

my turbo would not boost over 0.7 bar, so I had all that off,now running an actuator of my old 15g on my 16t, not sure thats right?

oil leak from somewhere? ( i think my pcv needs cleaning )

power steering header tank leaks

amonst other things!!! lol

would a better fuel pump solve it or is it tank design


my turbo would not boost over 0.7 bar, so I had all that off,now running an actuator of my old 15g on my 16t, not sure thats right?
15g has a weaker actuator than the 16t (15g=150/40, 16g=275/60 whatever that means lol)


oil leak from somewhere? ( i think my pcv needs cleaning )
oil return from the turbo or oil filler cap seal are common one's

[JT]

not sure of the exact size of discs, hoping russ from RT will supply me with some AP's, when i raise enough funds!

oil seems to be coming from the dipstick area?
and i dont think the fuel tank has any baffles in it??

and i need a new 16t actuator by the sounds of it! lol
