Hi John, no definite answers, but some suggestions that may or may not help with your sticking valves. Firstly, whilst I appreciate accidents happen (and they...
I have just uploaded a document to the 'files' area, detailing the testing of The heated Screen Circuit and also a schematic circuit diagram. I have uploaded...
Thanks for the suggestion Karl. I suspect the pump too, but cannot understand why it should start normally when cold. I had a hot starting problem on a Citroen...
Sorrey mate, I got it arse about face, thought it wasn't starting when cold. Funning thing about the comments of carlton V senators I've had the opposite...
Hi Despite carefully tightening to only 20nm I’ve got two stripped threads on my secondary chain tensioner. They must have been well on the way out already!...
Jonathon Thanks so much for your thoughts. This does seem to be a sticky problem ;-) But I think I've solved it and along with it a warning to all!!! I'm now...
Helicoil is the only viable way of fixing it and best done by someone who has used them before, the kit will be about UK £50-60 which will have he Handle,...
Any Good engine machine shop will be able to fit Helicoils for you, and charge individually for them. In simple terms they are a bush with a thread internally...
I'm proud to anounce that I have rejoined the Senny owners club after an absence of more than a year. I've picked up a lush Automatic 3.0 CDi on an F-plate and...
thanks for your thoughts, Karl. What I did not mention before is that it starts fine hot if it has just stopped, it's when it has been left for between five...
Hi John, sorry about the stripped threads. It's always a risk when you remove a steel bolt from a thread cut in alloy that has been in there a long time, or...
Hi Colin Nice to hear your back in the seat of a Senator again I think the CD is the model to go for and will certainly attract more buyers (those in the know)...
With regard to the trip computer, yes it should be backlit. Just had to do mine. You need to release the unit (that's the entire centre vent bit - two screws)...
Hmm sounds like fun - something for the bank holiday weeked :) Colin. ... From: Jeff [mailto:jeff.connolly@...] Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2004 08:48 To:...
Thanks Colin. Rest assured I was aware about the Air Con when I purchased the car and it wasn't something I was particularily bothered about. The previous...
... the same places. This is obviously sound practice, but all it means is that any irregularity in the cam follower and its channel will have been polished...
I have a friend who's a refrigeration and air con engineer (can put you in touch if you are anywhere near Northampton) and have watched him do a couple of...
Colin,good to see you back again.The bulbs for the trip computer are available from VX.Its easier to get it out by pushing a plastic tube over the cap of the...
I used to have the same trouble with my 3.0 12v. I solved the trouble by changing the 6 injectors... there were leaking a little bit, so after 5-10 minutes...
thanks for your leaky injector story. It sounds very reasonable. However I cannot see how a four second squirt on the fuel pump with my extra switch before...
Could just be if your pump is in the tank that the rubber hose that connects the pump to the backplate is loosing pressure either from a jubilee type clip or a...
when your injectors leak, after a while, the pressure in the fuel pipe is nearly zero ! may be no pressure = no fuel = no starting ... However I cannot see how...
Hi Stu, no its my mate the aircon man who lives in Northampton, I'm near Grimsby myself. If you've ever come across a small company called "Precision Welding"...
Hi Jonathan, I've come across Precision Welding before. Good reputation. What a small world. Pity you're not local to me, though. Would you believe that until...
Thanks for the thought, Radar. I am not quite sure what you mean by the hose between pump and backplate. The pump is bolted straight into the base of the tank....
Wow, I was just blown away…. After messing around for four weeks, changing the head gasket twice, collecting all the bits for the timing chains, taking it...
Ref item 3 : The valves took a lot of grinding Why didn't you have them ground in by a head refurb company? When I did the head gasket on a previous Senator, I...
Hi Dave, Why not? Because in my ignorance I believed the company when they said there was no need to look at the valves as it was obviously the head gasket ...
didn't you write us that when after a short while, the engine takes time the fire up, but then revs to 2000-2500 rpm and after a few second normally revs at...
