Cracking weekend, big thanks to the team for putting it all together. Even managed a spin at seaman’s early doors in the wet. Awesome hot lap in the race car. Look forward to CS24.

I read somewhere recently that the defender is all things to all men. Mine was even a hearse for a day, He would have loved that Cummins conversion That thing is outstanding. Well done sir.

Well that’s gonna save me £55 and a s**t load of bleeding knuckles 🤣

No plugs or loop?? Do you just throw a bit of oil in from time to time?

They usually do but there’s nothing on there. Hopefully the kit comes with printed instructions. Cheers

Morning all, As above, been through the guide forum with no luck. Can anyone give me a quick guide on how to loop and plug the stock 182 hpas rack please? Can it be done with the rack in place etc. Any photos would be good. Thanks in advance.

Sound. Thanks for that, I know exactly what I need for whichever set up I end up with now. Cheers

Sorry, I posted as you were doing the same. At the minute my current set up just suits me better for a couple of reasons. Do you know the size code of the belt used in that set up? Cheers

Would the belt in that set up not do the job? I thought the cup set up was used mainly to avoid an ac delete kit? I’m probably wrong! Cheers.

Cheers for the reply. The cup set up is on my options list. So just to confirm, if I stay with the non cup set up the only option is to get the PMS pas delete pulley and run the same 6pk 1305 belt? No shorter belt option?

Afternoon all, So the 182 alternator is toast, it’s possible it’s the original (50k) so it’s done well. While it’s off I’m going to get all the HPAS out, (EPAS at the ready) so my question is this: Is there a belt people have run that doesn’t require a Replacement pulley to replace the PAS...

Fair enough mate. I’ve just had those done so I’m down to ball joints or top mounts. I’ll get to the bottom of it. Cheers

Sounds like a good piece of kid. Hopefully some local testers have one. Just out interest, was your knock from the ball joint or the inner wishbone bushes? Cheers

I had to google that to make sure you wasn’t taking the piss! I’ve not seen anything like that locally but I’ll keep an eye out. Cheers

If I can’t resolve the problem that’s exactly what I’ll be doing although now I’ve put the car on the floor the bushes look how they should so who knows. The search continues. Thanks for all the replies.

No wonder they’re an absolute b*****d to fit, the amount of material he’s had to remove is ridiculous. Does anyone other than powerflex produce up rated bushes that fit?

Couldn’t move it against the subframe brace but they flex badly anyway. I’ll have another look. Cheers

Yeah I thought it should look like that. Thanks for that. Looks like I’ll have to get my third set in 4 years. Would the wear on mine cause knocking (quite loud) going over potholes and speed bumps? There’s still a good amount of material around the arb so would that be enough to prevent a...

That would be a big help. Cheers

I’ll have to get a vernier calliper on the bar but every mk2 rs model should have 25mm inners.

The melted look is actually the grease, photo is a bit poor.

There are different size arb’s but I’m certain they were correct, 25mm inner and 22mm outer I think. That’s correct for a 182 non cup.

It can’t be right, I would expect it to be a snug fit but I don’t know for sure?

I didn’t do them, I’m well aware it’s a nightmare so wouldn’t attempt on the drive. They come with their own grease as you know so he used that??

Not easy to see but there is a clear gap between the bush and the arb. The bushes are less than a year old and due to Covid have covered less than a thousand miles. The clamps are also new and the car is jacked up if that makes any difference. Any input appreciated. Cheers

Sounds like that's where I went wrong. Cheers

Ok. Definitely read that somewhere on the forum or maybe I misread it. Would have tried the second key straight away but it's long gone during previous ownership. It's all on the white plug for now. Cheers

The immobiliser light remains on and solid as the engine cranks. As above I believe that means the key is recognised? The eml never came on or flashed at any point running the car. Cheers for the link mate.

Yes it cranks for 2 to 3 seconds then quits. As it cranks the immobiliser light stays on solid which I believe means the key is recognised and ready to start? I'm going to follow your steps on the white plug anyway. Appreciate the photos. Cheers

Pretty certain it's not the battery as the ctek has always been on and it's a recent battery which cranks for some time. After the white plug I'll be looking at the injectors. Cheers
