That was me trying to get the positive terminal off the post, the lugs had melted into the plastic you see there.
I did check for codes before...nothing, I havent checked since though so might do that.
Being an 01 plate I didnt think the ECU had much of a brain for things like this.
FR-IG I have found is from 2003 onwards which is in the engine fuse box - mine is 2001
MET is the same, but in the internal passenger footwell fuse box, so mine doesnt have that either
Hi all,
Another alternator post....or is it?
So driving home the other day probably 45mins into a 1hr journey, gave it some pedel on a straight piece of road which resulted in the battery light and some others coming on
Typical alternator fault, so I went looking at the alternator...no funny...
So this plug is the culprit, it’s the plug onto the timing control valve and if I push it in a certain direction it causes the engine to retard/advance in its injection timing.
I’ve cut it off and have removed the pins from the plug, which were pretty beaten up.
All straightened up and ready to...
So just been out and checked sensors on the pump again.
Speed sensor - should be 205-255 Ohms - 230 Ohms read
Spill control valve - should be 1-2 Ohms - 1.2 Ohms read
Timing control valve - should be 10-14 Ohms - 11 Ohms read
all a bit lower due to reduced temps outside.
I checked both the...
So its back....the dreaded DCT 14(4) Timing control valve malfunction....
I noticed different symptoms this time around....a few days ago I head the engine sound change - I now know thats it advancing/retarding the injection timing to protect itself.
It intially was for like .5 a second, so...
Yer I think the windings have gone, so would need to be rewound, I would have a go at it.
thinking about electric actuators currently, much like the air actuators that have already been developed.
I need to do more research but I believe the only reason for the clocking and the complicated...
Same here! Can we get any parts for these?
My motor windings seem to be bad, smoking when I bench test it just now.
I seem to have also messed up the plastic teeth in the large wheel.
Motor cover that the magnets are housed inwould also be a good thing to replace on mine
My rear wasn’t engaging, opened it up today, what a mess!
I will see what/if I can save anything.
I think all but one bolt snapped straight off even after being left in oil, welding nuts onto the broken studs didn’t work either. Center punched and drilled out the best I could, will use a bolt...
Same here, seems there are loads of posts on the issues people have had recently.
I only ordered from him as its on the list here - Must have CHEAP mods to 100 Series
Maybe that post should be achived or removed
I ordered on the 23rd Nov, no confirmation email, says its still awaiting fullfilment on the orders page on the website....Paypal dispute here we come.
Such a shame as everyone raved about Pfran
Yes, im starting to understand now the ticky sound might just be normal, i only have my dads 80 4.2 1hdt machanical pump for reference.
Shaun who runs/part owns the company mentioned above, did say to check any of the rubber pipes going to the pump, as the pump is always sucking, IIRC he...
Thanks,
Just phoned him and spoke for 20mins, he was very reasuring, gave me a few points to explore and try, but reassured me these are noisey in their injection process by nature - and maybe it was the timing control value on the way out that made the pump so quiet, and now its working, its...
Here are some of my atempts and findings video recorded:

Bog standard currently
Some service stuff done - fuel and air filter, new alternator and belts, oil & filter and timing belt next
Sort some of the areas that need attention, then tyres, change the side steps for sliders, remove all the old AHC lines and res and then treat the frame, service...
Thank you for the information, very informative!
Where are you based, in the UK?
How fast can Shaun recalibrate them? This is my daily drive, but I could do without it for a week.
Currently im just monitoring the ticky noise from the pump, but dont want to damage anything in the engine
