Changed the MAF sensor tonight and all well. Could'nt believe it would make all that differance. soon as i started it up after fitting i could tell. Well chuffed now. Once again Thanks for all the tips and info from all you experts!! I can start to enjoy it now. She's been running on Bio diesel this week with no prob's 50% Bio 50% Diesel with the VP44 injection pump been abit @==% i think i'll keep it on that Ratio for awhile. First Mod to do is Tint the back windows. Will put pic on when done. Cheers again

[john (smifffy)]

then when pump packs up from bio deisel folks wont see your blush's for not listening to there advice on useing it

[Bioman]

Bio Diesel is least of my worries!! Thought the fronty was fixed!! Went out this morning and the speedo is parked at 30mph stood still, took our lass to work doing 130 mph !?!? Anybody know what that's all about. Getting abit dismayed with it now.

The B's dash has ALWAYS been a problem. Mostly the speedo does move at all.... try resetting the milage, or turning on the headlamps... this sometimes work.
Failing that you can remove the clocks, it's not a difficult job from what I can recall people saying. I've just left mine as I'm a lazy arse, and sometimes it works, sometimes it does't.. infact I might set about doing it today after I've done the CV Boot Gaiters....

Cheers.

oh yes i did my rear bearing ,next thing i know, the propshaft u j went ,done that now the center bearing has started moaning, you gotta laugh

[Bioman]

Turned the ignition on and off while tapping the glass near the clock, that knocked it down to were it should be!! So it is on it's way.

[Frontycustoms]

I could be wrong, but i think i've read about a fix on here for those dash clocks. I'll try n find it for ya................ unless Bernie beats me to it as usual

[Bioman]

Did it again this morning, but if i turn the ignition on and off about 10 times, it drops down gradually, i'v read about soldering the back somehow.

[Road Hog]

Sticking part way I think is a stepper motor fault .

It is the motor that turns the speedo needle,it is a instrument panel out & stripdown job.

There is an exchange service http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/Deta ... oduct=1272 if you decide to go this route some feedback on the service etc would be appreciated.
