I've sometimes considered using a 16v supercapacitor, have seen them work effectively on 12v solar setups handling inverter surge loads.

I use ATF......

Since making this thread, I have learned that the factory alternator has an "overrunning pulley" which is a one way clutch to allow the alternator to briefly continue spinning under it's own inertia...

I hate removing the EGR cooler and putting it back in knowing it's redundant. A piece of dead weight in the engine bay, taking up valuable space :0

The reason it's still there is to connect the...

I assure you, as a machine operator my electrical work doesn't deserve photos

I had this sitting in a box for a couple of years forgotten about, put it in over the weekend along with the new alternator.

I like the idea of a smoother inlet path, and it tidy's up the engine...

I recently had the pulley come off my original alternator, dropping the belt and losing all things important (like aircon & water pump). Not to worry, being only a few kms from home after a trip to...

Yes. best way is to get a pressure test to know any weak spots

Crack the valve, push the brake, close the valve, release the break.

You can also vacuum bleed with a spray bottle nozzle

it's pretty easy, but get one of these hub bearing spanners from ebay/amazon first

I have triple batteries

starter + aux under bonnet (both lead-calcium)

Victron 75/15 mppt + 200w solar panel to achieve voltages above alternator output which is required for lead-calcium...

200,000kms may need glow plugs. Mine had 2x dead ones a @ 218,000kms.

Unsure about the gear shudder, maybe consider dropping the fluid and changing the filter, etc. I did mine at 202,000kms and...

why are you being a dick, he's just asking a simple question.

If I had a y62 I'd give a better answer, but I typically see 92-95c up hills and 87-89c around town with a 3.0L CR

I thought pre-07 wasn't compatible with OBD2 protocol

I'm thinking it would be handy to locate the fuel cut off solenoid and experiment with it.

Working away from home over Xmas here, hope everyone else had fun!
