Hiya

does anyone have easy access to an se5 or 6 to see if the engine sump shows below the chassis rails. IE if you were unlucky to run over a brick or sumething similar tall enough, would it clout the sump or is it tucked up out of the way ? cheers

Thanks. I've actually taken the engine out to replace with the omega engine so its was just a thought but its clear its been a constant issue throughout my life with the engine.

After the perranporth drag race I dropped the gearbox and the spigot bearing fell out, again. This has been a repeating issue, regardless of gearbox or clutch.

Maybe 6-7 times. 3 different bearings.

Any ideas

I will try to attend. It’s a long way for me, that’s all. Would be nice to see a few faces but getting out and sprinting would achieve that. As a minimum, and this could be done remotely, I think any feedback from those competing in both would be useful, especially after this first year. We’ve had s...

Woolly jumper, book on the local history and a quality pair of safety glasses. More like 72 than 27!

Happy birthday matey

Yes, great stuff.

Not too much progress. A lot of time readying the ecu / wiring handbook. Its really quite straightforward once you get your head around it . Most sensors have a 5v supply and a signal wire and then Earth return. All to the ecu. Then the ecu has a decent power supply and earth and Bob's your Daddies ...

ECU Wiring Final few wiring queries Sensors ~ Throttle position (oem omega) ~ Crank (oem omega) ~ TMAP (Air Temp combined with MAP). Its bosch / mini one. ~ Coolant Temp ((oem omega) Power. I think they all require 5V Power supply. The ECU has a 5v output so the two are aligned but what colour wire ...

cheers all. crimps it is.

I now know, my capable neighbour, who works for Pendennis Ships in Falmouth (large bleddy expensive boats) crimps everything for the very reason stated above.

Guys, can anyone recommend repair kits for the girling remote servo as fitted to the 5. I have two original servos, just debating whether to recondition what I have rather than butcher the engine bay trying to get the new land rover inline one, in place

No progress Sunday, ended up changing the rear disks , pads and freeing off the calipers on my daughters mini !! Calipers were ok, once I realised what I needed to do to get the pistons out. Better than replacing £300 !!!! Anyways looked at the wiring last night. I love wiring, but the OCD in me wan...

you and Jim ?
