PScan... Are they still going? It might be worth an investment in few weeks time (or maybe after I get back from the Netherlands!)

Main problem I have with the car now is I can't take it to anywhere as its got no MOT (and I don't want to cause any damage!), hence looking for someone to hopefully pop over and plug in a reader :)

Anyone had any luck with https://memsdiag.blogspot.com/ ?

That's for MEMS 1.6 or 1.9 as found on early 4 pot K series, the KV6 uses a Seimans 2000.

www.pscan.uk is still in development and production and Philip is active on www.the-t-bar.com where we host his forum.

Luckily this particular engine is a 4 pot T series with a turbo and a mems 1.6 ECU ;)

The KV6 needs a new air filter(the itg maxogen filter element has litterally fallen apart and is now dust!!) and a damn good service, but that's after its had the bodywork repaired :)

I have ordered the three pin circular cable now, will update when it arrives.

In the mean time the rear of the passenger front wheel arch, under the door where the arch and the sill meet (sorry don't know the actual name) is rotten and has a hole in it. Can I repair this easily? Or does it need someone with a welder? Is it an MOT failure?

Is the hole in the wing section or the sill? If sill yes a failure. If wing then no it shouldn’t be.

Sill unfortunately.

Any idea how easy that area is to fix? I.e. can any mechanic weld it up or does it require a new sill or whatever?

Hard to say without seeing it.

mobile welder should be able to patch weld it for its MOT.

should not cost too much, just get a couple of quotes.

Good luck with it, get them to check both front jacking points, if you do get them in to give a quote.

:):):)

I need both of my jacking points plus surrounding areas plating with new steel. Not an easy job lying underneath.

Sam, when you can post a photo of the area that needs repairing.

Sorry for the really long time with no updates! But a year later and....

She's booked in with a local company to get the underside welded up! :trampoline: - Am looking forward to getting T16 back on the road, once welded up there are a few odds and sods (new hoses etc) and then in for an MOT.

With any luck this time next month will be a really positive post :trampoline::trampoline:
