stants Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 cut a long story short the oil pressure sender underneath the alternator is not playing so i'm gonna remove the rear blanking plug and install the pressure sender in there tomorrow night, is it easy to do, or are there any issues i should be looking out for ? i have a bout three hours in which to do it so hopefully be back on the road in the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Oh i'm good at doing that too :) I can even drop the bolt I need and get it wedged to the point I had to take the Battery out to get it back, and I wasn't even working on that side of the car :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I dropped a ten 10mm spanner once into my brothers punto when i was re building the head. Never found it. Funnily enough the bottom end went a month later :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yep tops anything I've done so far ;) I say so far it will happen I'm sure :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Lol i can holf my hands up and say the bottom end was nothing to to do with me. Mainly down to my divvy brother not realising you have to add oil/water and other fluids. I'm pleased to say that install is now complete, didn't go too bad only one 12mm crows foot 1 allen key and an allen hex socket lost into the depths of the engine bay. Still should work themselves loose. I've had he boost wired up for a week and am only showing about 0.6 bar on full beans, seemed a bit low ? After a quick drive oil pressure warm shows 1.5 bar which if i'm correct in my rubbish maths about 20 psi. So i'll keep an eye on everything and see how it is :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 So the next time if anyone is heading down the M1 near Leeds to Sheffield And you find a 12mm Crows Foot, or an Allen key or even a Hex key stuck in the windscreen can you please return to For the attention of Stanton500 S.O.C Wedontcare Road PO Box 761, Leeds, LS1 9JF Uk ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
