RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - mr_fish - 01-12-2014 It'll pass. The attention to detail the car gets, it would be rude not to! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Toms306 - 01-12-2014 Fail on something silly like a sidelight that blows on the way to the test centre I reckon. Cant be any major fails! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - 306Dan - 01-12-2014 Tax disc holder in window screen, or something so daft you don't think about it RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 01-12-2014 tax disc came out as soon as I could! All lights in order, gave the inside a good clean as it was filthy, good impressions and all that. Also, topped up fluids, fitted a relay so the arduino comes on with ignition and removed the DRLs fuse, just to avoid arguing over it!! Seem good lads there...they have a mk2 escort, landy, FTO, Beetle and other maad projects there, so into their modded stuff! Only real concerns are the new o/s drivshaft spits out a little grease where the metal clip holds it on. So have wiped it all off for now. And then NEW gearbox shaft seals are leaking So wiped that down too. other than that, its all above board...so should be fine oh, I will be reducing max fuel and setting a throttle stop tomorrow just for protection!! In other news.....I want more boost. So if MOT is fine...time to wind up the boost! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 02-12-2014 Some mot prep... Throttle stop "adjustment" [attachment=20415] Arduino battery secure... [attachment=20416] Last min wash... [attachment=20417] Also turned fuel down half turn!! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Niall - 02-12-2014 A) You're still running the Arduino on a separate battery? B) What is that abomination of wiring C) If that battery has a small hole on it for a vent pipe (most do) then get it hooked up and outside the car. Some REALLY picky testers will fail you for that. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 02-12-2014 (02-12-2014, 09:33 PM)Niall Wrote: A) You're still running the Arduino on a separate battery? yes and yes. Dont like it, then come fix it!! It was all dark last minute wiring predyno when Ruan was here. 3 core wiring to the arduino in the front and a boost cable to the car battery to give common earth!! Its not in charging circuit so wont give off gasses I will be searching for more permanent solution after MOT obviously...as I hate that thing in me boot! Any help is VERY welcome to do that! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Niall - 02-12-2014 So remind me, is this because you was getting some form of interference when it was running of the main battery? RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - nominous - 03-12-2014 When I saw the pics of the voltage regs it looked like they had no caps or very tiny ones. The circuit needs improving IMHO. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 03-12-2014 Yeah to both the above. Interference to signals when linked to car power supply. Just small caps. Power supply side needs improving for sure. Bit beyond my knowlege, spent some time reading about capacitors and just drowned! So...MOT man just rang me.........

RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - 306Dan - 03-12-2014 come on i hate cliffhangers at the best of times RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - nominous - 03-12-2014 I'm betting it failed on the battery not being secure and a loose connection (jump cable). RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Danny Wideboy - 03-12-2014 Fail on emissions due to blocked raccoon filter. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 03-12-2014 [attachment=20429] RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - 1616six - 03-12-2014 Wrong colour. Must be a ringer. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Toms306 - 03-12-2014 Moonstone is always silver on the logbook lol. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Norledge - 03-12-2014 Well done. Major CBA to run through 69 (lolz) pages... what the Arduino running? RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 03-12-2014 Yes arduino works. MOT guys were well impressed!! He said "technically I should fail it for no cat...but then I run a decat so meh" haha!! They got some epic projects going so we had some banter and chatted...ideal, a local garage to make friends with. Handy!! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Norledge - 03-12-2014 Yeah but it works doing what?? RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Midnightclub - 03-12-2014 VNT control RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Norledge - 03-12-2014 Ohhhhh ok comprends vous, thought it might be something a little more exciting. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Niall - 03-12-2014 Got to love a friendly mot tester!

Once they understand you do all the work and they do free retests, bringing it back is just costing them money. Faults are pointed out and may be an advisory but more often not a fail. You must have made a very good impression RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 03-12-2014 Shiney engine bay and big turbo did the work for me!! Arduino does do exciting stuff for me...makes boost. All the boost!!

Ive met some right arseholes in my time though. Well done on the pass man. Always good to get a pass and a friendly garage. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Dum-Dum - 04-12-2014 Good work mate, you bringing her to christmas meet then? RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 04-12-2014 Im in minehead this weekend. In other news... Still not sorted temp gauge, but oil light works only if you tap the dash so its obviously a poor connection. Must sort asap Coolant hasnt gone down at all since doing the head which is a refreshing change!! Tried advancing pump today a tad but it just clatters too much for my liking Need some dedicated setup time with someone. RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 04-12-2014 Oh and ordered some better quality shaft seals and some ASH silicone hose as the head to crank breather/oil drain hose is cracked and brittle and leaking. And Pug say they dont have any left. Its time to stop the last two oil leaks!! RE: 2.1GTd...MOT time - Piggy - 06-12-2014 Clutch is slipping Emailed CG. Duno what to do tbh....not as in give up...but I have spent near £300 on this clutch, buying it and having CG refurb it. |
