    They were telling me it will run hotter with the low stall in it? I thought it would be cooler as well due to not as much slip? I think 80° is ideal temp in the pan?

    I had no hope of fitting the Redarc 1”4 inch sensor in there. I also have a Redarc 1/8” sensor but the probes are just too long in that location. I think with no fluid flowing they’d suffer the same...

    I had suspected there was no flow, but couldn’t work out why. I was thinking a stuffed pump, or low fluid or something. I’ll ask them in more detail when I pick it up, but was told on the phone it...

    Its also worth noting, as this is in the caravan and campers section, a GVM upgrade won't give you a GCM upgrade if that's what you're chasing for towing?

    Yep, I wouldn’t have thought draining and cleaning a tank prior to re-installing it would be a hard task. Pretty disappointed and now worried about any further damage to the injection system.
