Nice one !!
Think the only thing I'm not sure on is where to mount the MJ box and electrics
-
Well after the joy of getting the RRC through it's MOT I went to use the winch yesterday and it never worked!!
I can hear the clicking at the solenoid pack which works off a wireless remote (not sure if I'm a fan).
After checking the wiring it all seems ok. However after a few attempts at working it, the solenoid pack make quite a bit of noise, clicking it seems, like sticking a lolly pop stick in the back wheel of your bike if you know what I mean
solenoid gone guys ??
-
Something else to have a read on
Is there a popular choice?
-
That's a great pic
so what would make me choose MAP or TPS ??
-
MOT done and passed no bother
Nice one !!
All those weekends of lying on the ground in the cold pays off again
-
Firing order etc ??
Yip I can see it
Saving all these pages so I can keep studying them. I think going by the info so far, the first thing to do would be the crank pully removal and fit the 36:1 toothed wheel and VR bracket?
Megajolt boxes on flee bay are about £190. Would this be about right?
MOT is getting done as I type so fingers crossed
Cheers

Keep em coming
diagrams i struggle with to be honest but these ones are getting through. Pictures make life a whole lot easier
-
Wot a guy
It's sinking in
-
Roger, do you know of any pics available to view for the MJ ?
If I see pics I can get my head round these things better.
Locations for wiring, HT leads, EDIS controller, and coil packs?
Would be good to have an idea
-
Many many thanks for the input. Fridge you try to make my head spin round and round?
I think I'll have a good read through the stuff I need to so I can grasp in my own head what needs to be done. A thread is a great idea and I could see that benefiting others in my position who are considering the same option.
Benefits from jolting then? Reliability ? Waterproofing? Satisfaction?
Am I right in thinking the megasquirt would control the LPG more efficently withless chance of backfires etc?
At least now I know I have some Reading to do while the keek is on the TV at the weekend
-
I do really want to but not feeling confident on doing it
I'll have a good read through the MJ site to find out in more detail what I would need etc.
Coils from any year of mondeo etc or worth getting new ones for reliability reasons etc.
Sensors??
Types of wire.
I'll try get my head round it
-
Just some research needed then? How much would the system cost etc?
-
Thanks for the info.
I like the way you casually say get megajolt
the reason for the "spare" is that the one that's in it just now was taken from a disco 1 in a breakers yard
So maybe spare was the wrong word,
looks like I've got some Reading to do to get a better understanding of upgrading.
Cheers
-
Ahh right.
got a Bosch one in it now and does seem to be running a but stronger and firing better.
Think I'll get another one as back up just incase.
Cheers for the info

So after discovering today that my coil is a goner. A mate recommended thinking about an uprated coil to give a better spark as I also run on LPG.
Can someone shine a light on where to get an uprated coil and if there may be other issues with replacing the normal one?
-
The flashing amber light is linked to the RPM signal (I'm assuming Tartarini system from the description). It essentially means that the LPG system is preparing to change over and is waiting for the RPM signal before it does so.
If it's (as per your sig) fitted to a 3.9 then it will take it's RPM signal from the coil so the starting point wuuld be to check the wiring in the vicinity of the coil for any obvious loose connections.
If it's a Tec '97 you can (or used to be able to) get an app and cable from Autogas 2000 that allows you to plug into the ECU and see what's happening/configure it.
Give that man a cigar !!
Brown wire looked connected but when touched it broke off in my hand. The coil was on it's way out too as it turns out. When I reconnected the wire with new ring connector and started to tighten the nut to the coil terminal, the terminal broke in two and liquid leaked out. So the coil has had it.
After ringing many landy friends I managed to source a Bosch one from a disco 1 v8 which was in a breakers yard by luck
thanks for the help

So went to fill up with LPG today. Drove off and pressed the button to switch over from petrol. It never clicked over and the little Amber light was flashing. It's a single point system with whatlooks like 3 solenoids on it. One on the vapouriser. One in the front corner of the engine bay and one on the tank. It usually switches over when I give it a slight rev and can hear the solenoid click.
The flashing Amber light usually stops flashing and is solid along with the 4 green lights indicating how much fuel I got.
If I hold in the button, the flashing Amber stays on solid but makes no difference.
MOT next weekend
Thoughts guys??
-
Other side was much easier due to all the help given .
Ring out
job done
-
Cheers
The garage have made sure it was tight on now after the info gained.
-
Right just been on the phone to him and he says his gaitor moves up and down and can spin it round so it's just sitting on.
-
Posting on behalf of my mate.
To cut a long story short he's paid the garage £105 for fitting new ball joint on the drop arm. After the garage failed it on the MOT. The gaitor is loose after the work and he wants to know if this is the norm or should it be tight fitting??
He's going back tomorrow morn and wants some back up to make sure they get it done right.
What do you guys reckon? Should he insist on it being done different?
Cheers in advance

That would be interesting to see the full RRC in 3D. (not that i rate 3D) Are you devloping a program or in the process?
:!
-
Thought I'd share the finished article. When followed the LR4x4 manual for this job I'd just like to add the shaft on my RRC didn't allowed the flange bolt in the end as the flange bolt is too big. Had to use a much smaller thread to get the shaft out enough for the circlip to be put back on.
-
well it's off. !!! ya dancer !!
Tightened nuts up a little and gave it a lil tappy tappy.
Got big hammer and gave the side of the disk a few hundred slaps. Undone nuts........ Fell out !!
now just need to wait til the snow and force gales go away and I can get on with finishing the job. Thank you people !!
Winch solenoid gone??

No I've only checked the wiring to make sure all seems well which it does.

Cheers for the reply
