RVR fettling!

[elnevio]

I've been busy again!

This morning has been taken up with a few pre-JapFest jobs on the RVR. The downpipe has been off and back on. As has the boost controller. And a bit of wheel-arch liner. And some pipes off the radiator.

So, boxes ticked today:

- Coolant drained and flushed. Refilled with antifreeze and water
- Boost issue fixed
- Loose alternator discovered and sorted (missing nut!)

Unfortunately, mystery vibration not found, although flexi on downpipe is now a possible suspect. Anybody got a spare RVR downpipe knocking around that I can check it against!!

Main thing is that the boost issue has been fixed. Turns out that the wires going into the boost controller 'loom' connector were loose! Nice easy fix, that.

Just need to sort out an aftermarket oil cooler this week to replace the standard one that has been deleted (and believed to have been the source of the oil in the coolant - hence the coolant flush).

And a good clean is required before the weekend!

Yay!

So the Zanussi is now at full ASBO-Mangling power then!

Indeed - it's great!


And I fixed the decapitated oil pressure sender wire too.

I was a bit surprised to find a 13mm nut in my box of bolts that had the correct thread pitch. Well - it works!

Having met the Fridge in person, you have to take it to the Ring - 4 up round there would be SO funny, especially with the seats right back
