knock sensor..

turning right just before the speed camera van !!!!

you know who you are ;):cool::D

look on the "how to" on 197.net ;)

all the readings are on the rich side - could quite easily be that it was not up to full temperature - strange if it is - could they trying to pull a fast one - fail it on emmissions and then charge you for work they dont do apart from letting it warm up correctly...... get it hot and get the...

you can always pull the fuse if you need to get it home - the brakes will work but no abs intervention

backbox isnt exactly small...

you sure they didnt remove the cat as well...... as the centre silencer is only a straight through type and this should not have to much effect on back pressure etc to cause a flat spot

only have rear speakers if the up rated stereo is ticked on the options !!! put some in mine 130mm jobbies makes a big difference the wires are there - just flick out the covers from the bottom as there is a small cutout to do it

may be worth mentioning - exactly how do you get oily mayoniase on the plug when its in the combustion chamber - if the head gasket has gone as said then the mayo would be visible on the dipstick/oil filler cap - not the plug !! compressions are good and even - so it uses a bit of oil - just...

looks superb:cool::cool:

looks great :cool::cool:

great shots guys :cool: glad it was a good day out :D

excellent :approve:

remove all pads - front and rear - clean fittings/mouting points - refit on the 197 there is NO brake service specified so are left until they are worn or the brakes loose their effectiveness - then you end up having to spend extra money on siezed components

if the pads are down to the last 2-3mm (thickness of friction material) they need changing as for the bent pin - should be ok for a short while - this is common them siezing in - i recommend having a brake strip down once a year to prevent this and also stops the pads from corroding in the...

sounds like you have left something unplugged - have a better look when its dry and bright

cure the exhaust leak first - if its blowing/leaking this effects the mot emissions test - gives you low co/hc but the lambda is high (weak) ;) then go from there

if its been burning oil thats the reason for the carbon build up on the pistons and valve faces a lot of build up there - almost like the velves havent been replaced ! but looking at the valve seats they dont look to bad at all if the guides are worn you will get excessive movement of the...

rear brakes - perhaps its not the low effort one thats at fault - its a cup so should have "low" effort on both sides - perhaps the issue is the side with the high reading ?

the sprinter will have dbw throttle also if its a newer one

worth making sure you dont fit them with too much air trapped in as this can make them split or blow off the joint with air pressure

back to basics find out which cylinder its on first then go from there could be either plug lead or another faulty pack or even a bad connection

park brake is purely mechanical in operation - that is lever-cable-lever-cam-piston foot brake is hydraulic operation 172 rear brakes was to do with the load sensor being disconnected and giving low effort

get the sleeve welded on to the bend part - you can then clamp it and split when needed

.....what do you mean :o

super pics gaz :cool::cool::cool::cool:

not strictly true - some manual boxes do take the stuff running fully synthetic in the 197 - does help the change ;)

the tyre is scrap full stop - you dont mess about with tyre side walls especially those that have been run so under-inflated the inner rubber has burnt away - your asking for an accident if you dont !

put it this way it wont get better - its worn and will only over time get worse - as for how long to get there too many variables may be worth changing the oil and checking for metal in it
