Thanks Ralph, I'll try and get hold of a few suppressors.
Feeling ok at the moment thanks Ian, I'll try a few suppressors in various places as per Ralph's advice and see what difference that makes hopefully won't have to mess about with the ECU.
Thanks Both.

Right sorry to bore you all with this again, but I went out today and bought a new aerial and the SWR came down to:
CH UK EU
01 1.2 1.4
20 1.2 1.3
40 1.2 1.3
without any trimming
Now the bad news, I wired the radio straight to the (second) battery and it now seems to pick up signals strongly over a good range
BUT when I turn the ignition on, it immediately picks up a signal/noise - which remains for a while after turning the ignition off again so would I be right in guessing It's picking up interferance from the fuel pump ? and then when starting the engine the interferance gets much worse (making the set unusable).So my question is how do I go about tracing the cause of the interferance? or can I just fit some supressors somewhere (at random preferably
) to sort it out ?Thanks

Thanks both I thought it would probably be better to lower the UK values.
What about my second question regarding range ?
Mark - I've run an earth directly to the aerial and checked it for continuity
-
Thanks ralph looked at that - bought the cb from there- it's a bit confusing though as it says if ch 01 is lower than ch 40 then shorten the aerial, however it also says to get uk ch20 the same as eu ch20 which it won't be if i shorten the aerial
-
It's mounted on the back to the right of the rear door on one of these mounts
-
Guess it's too complicated for me then !

I know this came up several times in the past on the old forum, but i can't find an answer in a search over there.
I've just put a new cb in the 90 using the old aerial, so far i've managed to get the SWR to the following
CH UK EU
01 1.8 2.2
20 2.0 2.0
40 2.2 1.8
Which seems well balanced over all 80 channels, but a bit high. If I shorten the aerial the UK values come down and the EU ones go up, as I will use mainly the UK should I lower it and forget about the EU ones or just leave alone ?
The main reason I'm asking is because the range is very poor, it seems to work fine over a short distance vehicle to vehicle, but picks up hardly anything else, If I put it on scan it appears to find (weak)signals but they just come over as noise, and when I do pick up a conversation I only get one side of it (presumably the other is out of range) . Would this be the SWR or do you think I need a new/better/longer aerial ? (currently a 3' springer) .

Steve,
Go to Options, Then Personal, then My Profile and change the First/last name, I think that should do it.

Why do they let those BMW things join in, they're not real mini's
I'm at work and very bored - Pic 192

Got it now, should have been more patient.
Excellent Dave just what i wanted
Many thanks

Thanks for the quick reply Dave. Although the mail hasn't reached me yet
-
As it says if anyone has a wiring diagram/s for a TD5 (90) I would be very grateful if you could send me a copy
Many thanks

I assume the 101 has HUGE tanks then?
Starting to get bigger than my pockets

I'd be interested in that as well, went to France last year with a couple of landies, and saw plenty of likely looking lanes/tracks but as we didn't have a clue what we could/ couldn't drive we didn't bother - didn't fancy some mad /irate frenchman chasing us with a shotgun
-
I filled up earlier and thought it was busy, but there were long queues when I came home later. Bet they thought I was panic buying for the whole street though - £89.72 to fill up
-
Glad to hear that, we had new computers installed at work today, when all I could get was the homepage I thought it had been blocked
-
Glad to see we're staying here and that we have a new name, although I thought that Nigel's idea of LRE was a good one (Land rover eejuts perhaps
). I haven't got Paypal but a cheque will be on it's way to Tony shortly.
-
I've got a pair of Maxxima's although they haven't been on long enough yet to form an opinion - they work though B) . I decided to go for them as i thought it may be better to have two batteries the same, which could be swapped around easily if needed, plus they were cheaper than optimas.
-
As you know Tony, Husky fairleads are easily available - perhaps it would be easier to change the winches, should be plenty of cheap huskys around
Sorry

It looks like they are trying to invade somewhere that is some sort of cross between a sewage farm and the Everglades....
Looks like the sort of stuff you usually drive through to me

I haven't I haven't been to an LRO show for a couple of years as I didn't think it was up to much and definately not worth driving all the way to Peterborough.
A few of the traders told me at Billing that they thought there wouldn't be much at Malvern, but I got up today and decided to go and have a look anyway as it was less than an hour away, what a mistake, you could have fitted all the stalls easily into a single aisle at Billing.
There were empty spaces everywhere with the stalls spread out - don't whether this was because some traders won't turn up until tomorrow or whether it was just to cover a larger area to make it look bigger!
I'll be interested to hear what the rest of you thought (and to see if gets/got any better Saturday) - and what sort of write up they give it in the mag!
Worlds largest? in my opinion there are at least two shows in front of it (Billing & Eastnor), however I do think there are too many shows now and it would probably be better if some fall by the wayside.
Next year it will be Billing only for me.

Sorry James,
I have just seen next weeks roster and I was expecting to be working nights next Thusday but have now been given afternoons, so I am going to have to drop out
, hopefully see you next time. -
James, If you were talking to this Mark, I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer yet and due to my shifts, probably won't be able to until about a week before
Sorry -
Thanks both, if I get time when I get up later I'll have a look.
Or I might just do the same as I did tonight, give up and take the 101 to work instead ! much more fun anyway
) to sort it out ?

WHATS YOUR'S.

Mines just a nickname I've had for the last 30
or so years (I know - I don't look that old B) ).
