Jamie's 8

[Paul_13]

There's 2 leveling sensors front and rear on the suspension.
Have you done any work on the suspension recently?

Yup I know the ones from when I tore down the original donor 8

Pain to remove, all bolts rusted up

So are the sensors the likely culprit ?

Tbh the warning light came on before the work I’ve recently done.

Pretty much since day one, but like the power steering it is intermittent

If the sensor levelling arms are intact and attached, then have a look at the connector first Jamie:

Well i must applaud Wayne.........

Went for a drive yesterday, Power steering light back on grrrrrrr.......

Pulled up, come back to the car......... took ages to fire up.

After a convo with Jon, I wiggled my wires ( not a euphemism ) the -ve clamp practically fell off.

I only put an olive on the +ve side to secure that clamp the other week.

New battery soon coz its from the ark and some new terminal clamps.

Wayne, feel free to say " i told you so!"

This effin car !!!!

New battery new terminal clamps still eps warning light.

Put my diagnostic doo dah on while engine running.

Full lock to right it’s measures 9.75Nm full lock to left measures -9.75Nm (not that - Nm is possible but it denotes which direction)

Eps motor output -1A

I’m seriously contemplating swapping out the rack or ripping out the internals like Clive did to eliminate the resistance in the rack when it fails.

I effin hate electrics !!! Piece of .........

Get another rack Jamie.

Yeah starts great,

I’ve been for a 30 min drive come turned it off and fired it back up, no issues and eps light went off.

Maybe the drive “fully” charged the battery or summat.

Dunno, I’ll go to work in it tomoz n see what happens. I have a spare rack that was gonna strip apart Clive style for the rotus as well as the one that’s on the rotus

The readings off the diagnostic doo dah make me think it’s the rack but I dunno. I even looked that the terminals that the 60amp fuse plug into and wondered if they were loose, worn, dirty etc

Best test of hot start is shut off hot wait 10 mins then start...
Compression gets blamed but battery ignition starter are usually culprits.

This may not be the best timing,

But does anybody know any really useful swear words that could help me get the rack mounting bolts out ?
