Small issue with my 1hdft. At low speeds, usually 60kmh or less when the engine is at low revs and maybe under a little pressure, the revs start to move about. Seems to happen around 1500 rpm and it will bounce up and down by about 50 or maybe 100 revs. If I ease off on the gas or give it more...

It’s the original I’d say and is completely stuck

Tried hot wiring the ABS as per the guide but only got smoke from the unit. Think the motor may be stuck. It hasn’t been on road in over 14 years. Waiting on some joiners to by pass the ABS and Pressure valve and see how that goes

Thanks guys for the advice. I’ll give it a try over next few days and let you know of it works for me !!

How would I go about getting the trapped air out of the ABS unit. Was going to back bleed the system and see if it helps. My father had a garage for 30 years and came across a lot of soft pedals (mainly in VW's) in his day due to LSPV's. Removing them solved the spongey pedals in those cases so...

I've been looking through them alright but a lot of owners seem to go the whole hog and take out the ABS too. Wonder if anyone just deleted the LSPV and left the ABS intact

My 80 rebuild is nearing completion but the dreaded spongy brakes have reared their ugly head and trying to get a reasonably solid pedal is proving impossible. All the calipers were rebuilt, new discs and pads fitted and even fitted a new master cylinder. Now looking at the LSPV and wondering if...

I’m not too bad with a wrench. My old fella was a local diesel God until he retired so will be calling on his help. Parts are gone seriously expensive but I bought it at good value so willing to spend a few quid. This could be a long project but no panic with it 😄

Ya, it’s not in bad shape at all and should clean up nicely. Going to get it running properly first, give it a full service and then look at upgrading suspension. All depends on how much that eats up. If a service sorts the tranny, great but if it need more serious work might have to wait a...

HI everyone and greetings from the west of Ireland. New to the group and just after buying a ‘95 VXL, an upgrade from my other weekend toy, a Mk1 pajero. She hasn’t really been on the road since 2009 but stuck in a couple of batteries and fired up straight away. Lots of bits and pieces to be...
