Is the timing ok?

Nige 90 yep its possible to remove engine without the gearbox - i did it last year when I changed the clutch in mine, also did the timing kit & water pump when it was out :-)

Jenna you will properly find the connector on the starter has just came loose why it does it i have no idea i replaced my one - but you could just tighten the sped connector with a pair of pliers

Jenna is all the earth wires on? Has the starter wire came off the starter motor (this happened to mine)

I did the mod by using 5w side light bulbs (side repeater sockets!) visit your local scrappy and they most likely wont even charge you for the 2 connectors I think using the 10w bulbs you may get pulled by the police due to them thinking your driving with fogs on! the 5w bulbs look the same as the bumper ones brightness wise

If your loosing coolant and light flashing could well be a HGF, water blowing out the spark and upsetting the fuel mix. (I have this problem!! at the min sorting it this wkend) If the light is just flashing and your not loosing coolant coil pack or HT lead or plug id say would be at fault

Rodders, Is it an 1.8K series engine? If yes check the spark plugs - the flashing is random misfire - solid light will properly show a code saying about a weak fuel mix. Are you loosing any coolant??

Does the green light also light up when you turn the electrics on? if not they must be a relay or a bad connection somewhere

I put a drop of soap on the tool before putting it in the pipe to help it make the flare and it does help with the copper nicking like that in the pic

Have you made the right type of flare? ie single or double? for each end? easy mistake to make

Got a new one with bluetooth handsfree for £90 in halfords down from £160 so not bad :-) going to take the other one apart and see what went wrong with it

Factory fit cd/radio XQE100390 Plays sound ok - just no display. is it worth fixing? or scrap it and get a new one? it went down last night

If a sign had of been up he/she would have most likely had on heavy rubber gloves & brought wire snips and stole the copper cable and all lol

Never had it come off there, but did have it come of the gearbox end, which then resulted in the slave cylinder flying apart lol - tow'd of the M2 @ Belluve bridge on a cold saturday morning last yr - got it back re-fitted the cylinder took the whole pipe work out inc master & slave cylinderput new fluided in, pumped the slave cylinder a lot of times while keeping the master cylinder up high to clear the air (as there is no bleed nippples), put it all together and welded a U piece of metal onto the slave cylinder bracket to stop it happening again!

For the mods... Would it be possible to start a thread on locations of people with diag equipment? for forum members to see only? 1. Martin - Belfast ~ Autoboss V30

Steve no idea re the pump - but I no from experiance that there is a difference between the 2 fuel level senders - one rights the read way the other up side down! - ie full is empty! lol - fun if you nick the jeep lol

Where abouts in the UK are you? I'm based in Belfast and have Autoboss v30 - i can get into it for you.

Thanks western - :-) now i can get the part ordered up thank you soooo much!

After the part number for the drivers side engine mount & bolts- the one that the two bolts go into that hold the engine. Was doing a timing belt on it and the threads have stripped - tried doing a thread repair but this seems to have been done before so its not holding :-( 2002 1.8 K series thanks in advance

Best bet is to ring a clutch specialist such as Clarke Bros up in Belfast on 02890 248444 they will be able to match it up.

Engine crane & load leveller are the best two investments :-)

OK good plan! I take it its not just the simple thing then of joining on to the wires further up the wires from the block - or do i have to go into the lamps?

I did a clutch on the fl1 back in july but it was a 1.8 petrol - around 6 hrs as I lifted the engine out, new timing belt, water pump etc.. was done while it was out :-)

Fitted a new towbar to the fl1 problem lies in I need to tow tomorrow but the plug "n" play unit for the electics hasnt arrived. Can i cut the plug of the wiring and piece in a normal trailer plug wire to it??? regards Marty

Welcome... Could be a number of things: 1. Spark plugs 2. Leads 3. A bad coil pack 4. Damaged/ chipped valve (Unlikely but not impossible) Best get the ecu codes read - will most likely be p0300 (Random misfire) Sorry I cant be of much more help - without seeing the vechicle its hard to say its one certain thing. Where abouts in the world are you? Maybe someone on here can help you out..... Marty
