What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[Ste]

Today I finished amassing all the bits for a 'top end' service. I have spark plugs, PCV valve and O ring, Loctite 270 (for plenum valves) and a baffled oil catch tank (probably need some extra vacuum hose). Just need a couple of days of fine weather ( Elgrand doesn't fit the garage) and coincidental free time to do the job. Also copped a set of JIS screwdrivers.

Fancy turning all that into a how to?

I will take some pictures, but you know my motto, 'If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is'.

Good man, I’m yet to familiarise myself with the locations of some key items and what to strip off to get to them. Ha ha yeah I know, you haven’t borrowed your scouring pads to @Ruzz1 have you?

Ha, not heard the result of his MAF cleaning yet, perhaps he's keeping quiet.

Fitted rear brake pads today, ordered through @BMR 's website, top man once again,
left the old girl in the farm workshop so that engine will be cool tomorrow morning as I attempt to clean MAF sensor without balls in it up, only cleaning out of curiosity it's not given me any problems

Similar style to my own......if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

Will do thanks,, by the way what is and where is the MAF sensor,?

 

[Russ1]

,, only joking,,

It's a mystical part of the engine management and should only be cleaned by pixies using fairy dust. You have been warned.

 

[LeStempy]

Or you could soak it in a tub of diesel.

I always find a lump hammer good for a job requiring finesse. Darwin’s evolution of a club

 

[LeStempy]

Darwinian theory suggests that natural selection of the correct cleaning product will ensure continued survival of the pieces.

Unless you want to poke it with sharp sticks, like you should do with bears...

I thought that was sharks.

No, whoever heard of poking bears with Sharks...

No, whoever heard of poking bears with Sharks...

It'd be a good fight.

Well my MAF sensor cleaning went well,,,,
bloody thing was spotless looks like brand new,but I dropped a screw into the bowels of the engine bay,
Luckily I have a endoscop, fixed it to the end of a fishing rod, still took about half an hour to find and retrieve,,all good in the end,
