206cc to a 308cc How ? Why ? Everything 308cc

Beats me why they don't secure undertrays with cable ties from the word go Husky

It's now they always end up

Here's hoping that's the cause...

[Huskyxantia]

So true , mine was the pebble sitting between lower arm and stablizer bar, how ever since that I make sure to look under the car once a month , and cable ties are great im just wondering when they will make them mot fails . We all know what mot stands for. Making owners tremble....or as my old dad use to say about where he used to take his car
Miserable Old Tossers

2 things I do on a car new to me, copper grease the wheel hubs so the alloys do not rust on and lithium grease the undertray bolts and speed clips before they rust up. Both save a lot of agro later and damaging the undertrays.

That'll be right

Same here Paul, it's a game changer and something I've been doing for ever

You know when you put something in a safe place, you then find out how safe it is when you cant find the damn thing ... grrrr moment

My wife usually manages to find ‘my safe place’ and she then moves the said item to her safe place. But when I need the item, she doesn’t remember taking it, so she has no idea where she might have put it!

Injector number 2 replaced today plus full diagnostic before and after . The first scan confirmed number 2 range was way higher then the other 3 injectors.

So out it came with no problem at all. I hovered out the muck in the injector hole then popped the reconditioned injector in everything put back too air pipes and air filter box , popped the code in on the diagnostic , this then gave me the process on re learning the injector by driving the car steady upto 2600 rpm then foot off the gas let the car drop down to 1600 rpm at its own doing which for good measure I did this 5 times, I did notice the rattle on acceleration was gone , how ever I stopped for some diesel on my way home restarting the car it stalled , which it does the following, engine will fire up , then it stalls and rattles at the same time , engine now not running . So turning the key a 2nd time car fires up and runs , drives perfect , power is there under the foot no issues all is good. No injector rattle on acceleration either, ive now got the next job sometime Tomorrow which is to swap the old fuel filter for the new bosh one waiting to be fitted , I found online somewhere another car with same issue the owner found it was leak back cause by the filters tear drop gasket going flat due to age and air being drawn in, fingers crossed this will cure this on my car , mentions of timming being out can cause this but I think not as this happens now amd again not all the time.

Update will follow.

Re did a diagnostic and the fault was cylinder no 4 injector hadn't learned values , so this was set up to be done which I did when no2 was having the same thing done , new scan later tomorrow and an update will follow

[CitroJim]

Following this injector stuff with interest Husky

[Huskyxantia]

The driving style has changed as in when you get used to something when you accelerate, now its , foot down ... oh no rattle ... as before foot down rattle ease of a bit foot back on . So the new foot down and oh no rattle feels a bit more weird then before , if you understand my explanation

Oh yes, I understand that totally Husky

Fingers crossed Saturday afternoon a little more car time as I will have some free time diagnostic session follow up to come.

Right so today out with the old fuel filter which shock the screws that secure the metal canister to the top part were just over a tad finger tight ! Any way I still changed the part as id purchased it several days ago and it was time for a new one.

I primed the system by turning on the ignition 8 times counting 10 seconds each time I them tried the primer button on top of the filter housing and it was hard , it wasn't like this before the change over . So time to start the car . First turn first start . Lovely let it run for 2 minutes switched it off then did another scan , cleared the old stored codes then re scanned all clear , then went to live data with Gemini helping .

Some photos
The inlet fuel pipe might need a need push fit connector any one know the size ?

When i took the filter out is housing i noticed a little puddle of diesel, which now the odd smell of diesel has gone after the new replacement.

Top photo i like to remove all the wiper panel scuttle to have plenty of room to work on the filter housing area bottom photo filter type used

The live data i will put in simple terms using Gemini
It said

​With your readings of 0.86 on number one, 1.21 on number two, 0.71 on number three, and 1.20 on number four, the ECU is workin' 'ard to keep everything spinnin' smooth, especially with those higher-mileage cylinders. While those numbers are a smidgen on the high and low side of the usual range, they're fairly typical for an engine with over 150,000 miles on the clock, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it just yet!
