JimEB Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hey all 🙂As per usual, my PI has thrown up a fault the day after the MoT - it has a wicked sense of humour!The temperature gauge was working fine up until yesterday afternoon, now it does not move from beneath Cold.How do I test:- the temperature sender in the thermostat housing?- the temperature gauge whilst in situ?Voltmeter, rev counter and fuel gauge are fine, so I'm assuming it's not the voltage stabiliser.Thank you 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyman Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 to check gauge, put sensor wire to an earth, if temp gauge goes to hot? gauge is fine if gauge is ok? then its temp sensor cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimEB Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Earthed and the gauge appears to be fine - thank you 🙂Sensor shopping now 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Pimento PI with a wicked sense of humour/bad attitude....... surely not!I fired mine for continual insubordination - you must be more patient than I!Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimEB Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 It's all your fault Nick 😀Mine has been pressed into action as everyday transport...which it appears to be enjoying...700 odd miles on fresh engine 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The last report I had from the new owner (not so new now, if he even still has it) was that it was "bloody brilliant" and "goes like the clappers" (it did). He'd done quite alot of miles and bought it some presents. I can only conclude that it was me it didn't like..... I don't often miss it.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimEB Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 It must've been a messy divorce...My PI is not yet bring revved hard, but it wants to... Lightened flywheel balanced with crankshaft and clutch, TR5 cam, camshaft bearings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sounds like a good recipe...... Should go very well as mine made over 160lb/ft from 2000 to 5200 rpm with 146 bhp peak and that with only the std 132 PI cam.And I get the blame credit in your sig..... sweeet! 🙂Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDofTW Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I think that looks very smart. Not sure I've seen one that colour before. Minilites go well with it too. My parents had a green L reg 2.5pi estate (NPA 633L) - it was not a great success. Injection system was a nightmare, and as a heavily loaded estate it was horribly bouncy at the back.
