Yeah, we went to meet my parents and i realised I hadn't done a test drive, it worked, all good Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
Air assist shocks 20psi,80psi and 110psi These are without any weight on the towbar so will be interesting to see what it's like with poptopkichen on Max psi is 150 Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
Very cool Matt There's not a lot of height difference so it must all be in the damping. Should make tuning the rear for PTK much easier once you've experimented a bit
Yes it's defo a levelling thing that I think with more weight wil make more difference. I hope. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
sooooooooo, short story is I broke down and now I've fixed it. longer story is: Leaving TE I stopped for a safety wee and on returning went to restart the bus and it wouldnt start, 3 or 4 goes later and it finanlly stated (caveat, this had happened at home ealier in the week but i had found a bad fuel pump wire and hadnt had an issue since). did get a crank sensor code so put it down ot that on its way out. So, off to the fuel staton near the M69, 25 litres of fuel, yet again no start!! getting twitchy now!! @theBusmonkey was with me and he helped me disconenct poptopkicthen and push it over to a parking space. then the bus obviousy started agin lol, connected back up and made the dash for home. 1hr 30 mins up the A46 and alls good, welli stopped at starbucks and got sorry im late coffee for the wofe and kids, where i stalled it. DAMN but it started straight up. so alls good. get home, stop, move all the cars around to get the van and poptopkitchen backin tehre spaces. van started up fone every time. Weird. onto the alst couple of nights: changed the crank sensor(CPS) for a new genuine one. unfortunately due to it being steel cased and in an aluminium hole it corrodes in due to dissimilar metal corrosion you have to destroy it to get it out. CPS changed amd it started straight up. the key here though is another start straight afterwards. no dice failed to start agin. this time codes for crank sensor (p0336)and cam sensor(p0341), weird as the CPS is new. checked all woring and put the battery on charge. started tonight and all good. another go....failed to start checked the battery tonight and it has 615 CCA left from its orginal 680CCA so thats a good battery still. this tim I got a new code (p0335) still crank sensor but when i looked it up iy pointed to a possible bad battery or starter. luckily I have a few starters knocking around so I swapped it out for the cleanest newing looking one and bobs your uncle it starts first time everytime now. obviously as part of doing all this I also cleaned all the grounds and cabe conenctions. and I also cleaned the spark plugs, luckily I did as I found a broken plug wire. amazing it was running so well really lol. I'm the end it was a weak starter motor (I noticed a couple of times when it wasnt starting it kicked the solenoid back out.) And the plug lead was a lucky find no moral here other than subarus still need maintenace too.(especially if you chucked an enigne in 2 years ago without doing anything to it apart from the timing belt!!)
