Probably do that at the weekend once we have a better idea of what's happening. Don't want to jinx things and all that nonsense

Yellow - FS Project Seicento 2
Plan for tomorrow is to be on site for 9 am as some of us have commitments elsewhere and need to be away by 2 pm. If you can't make it for 9 but would still like to join us text me (not Martyn as his phone is never charged) and let me know when you arrive so I can let you in.
I know security was a little lax over the holiday period and some people were let through the barriers without advance permission or me being there but this should not continue. The area supervisor is not impressed and has stressed both to his staff and me that no-one goes through the barriers unless I have clearly identified them. If you haven't received a text from me confirming you will be waved through please wait until I turn up at the gate.
Ok, that's the nagging out of the way. Plan of action is to start with the suspension and then deal with the lambda - fingers-crossed the new one arrives in time.
hopefully Yellow will be going for a retest next week

Well a couple of hours up at the shed (again) today
Remember that spring that we thought was ok before the last MOT??
Oops :/
So yeh...front now sits nicely on the springs which @marti155 donated to us months back. Cheers mate
As yet there's no sign of the replacement lambda sensor, so thats a job for Monday or Tuesday evening. Thanks again to lewisp for his help. He also managed to get the anti roll bar bushes replaced on Izzy, even though it meant an impromptu trip to Persley for a new clamp and bolts
All being good well swap the lambda one evening this week and present yellow for retest.
I was also feeling rebelious today...

When changing the Lambda sensor it will probably need heat to get the old one out
It's a fiat so it's bound to
We have the heat torch still so fingers crossed it should be pretty painless. Maybe...hopefully

Rock'n'roll :laugh:
New lambda in...literally 30secs work.
Idling a wee bit better. #hopeful. I also dont think hes smelling as rich either but thats maybe me

It was hard to call really with the diesel fumes from my tractor and the generator in the shed however once it was in the open air it did seem slightly less rich.
Now the springs and lambda sensor have been replaced we're going for a retest in the next day or so however as it's a fiat nothing is straight forward. Tonight we had to bump start Yellow as the battery is once again flat. We have a promise of another battery but it won't be fitted before the retest so it's going to take luck and a decent run before hand to have it in a state that the mot tester will take it in. This means a probable jump start to get it going again, a trip to the garage to put air in the tyres plus fuel followed by yet another probable jump start and then a wee run to our bestest friends at kwik fit
Wish us luck :laugh:

Not sure what folks think, but I still reckon thats running a bitty better than the past couple of weekends?

that sounds pretty much what it was like before we took it on the run and it started hunting, promising
He sat like that for a good while. Then we lost battery. After a bump start and run around the yard he sounded like that again.
The lamda reading last time was fairly close. Hopefully weve got it this time

Feck sake.
Stupid question. Does it have a cat? It wasn't decatted?
Drawing a blank here. Catacleaned, new Lambda, new oil, new filter, new plugs. Nothing left to change/fix.

We had to put more fuel in before the test but according to cataclean it should last for several tanks. The only other thing I can think of is that we put in V-power Nitro+ as opposed to the normal unleaded - would that have affected our CO2 readings?
Engine was hunting throughout the test but wasn't in the shed when we first fired it up. Martyn recorded the journey so perhaps we can work out from there if it started hunting before or after the V-Power was added
