Time to start a new build. Ex BG maxi. Hereford.

[Nicklouse]

Didn’t last long.

Replaced with a cheep eBay one.

Which is exactly the same but without the tax.

Decent build thread this, and I bet there’s a lot of people that want to do the same thing….

[Maxiboi]

Great stuff thanks for sharing! I am in the process of converting a caddy maxi 2014 and have added more to my list after reading XD

[Nicklouse]

It was a fuse all along.

[Nicklouse]

Well as that’s the festive season over.
Work tops fitted


And lights stuck in the storage.

[Nicklouse]

Most expensive part per gram I have bought for the van.

One of the jobs for the weekend.

[Nicklouse]

more stuff to play with,

[Nicklouse]

Well fitting new pendulum rubbers in the subframe do need the correct tools.
So that can wait.
Rack swapped over as the floods had killed the original one. Just need to torque everything up and then get the tracking done.


Oh it is a good idea to check/replace your subframe bolts.

[Nicklouse]

Well been a busy weekend. Had the glow plug light com on on the way home on Friday. Read the codes and it showed a low fuel pressure on valve 1 and 2.

So basics, change fuel filter and the lower cost fuel pressure sensor. Did one no change did the other no change. So it looks like it is the regulator. Will be picking one up tomorrow so that going to be a busy Monday night.

[Nicklouse]

Well it is off to have the injectors pulled and checked as changing the pressure valves and regulator and the HPFP have not cured the low pressure isdue.

[Nicklouse]

Mmm this is being expensive now.

4 injectors….. as they are sized in the head.

[Chris exbg]

Lovely build so far mate and I've learnt a lot through reading you're process. Hope you get the engine fixed soon

[Nicklouse]

Injectors, rocker cover gasket, bolts and clamp blocks. And bleed hoses.

Ouch. Passed the MOT though.

[Nicklouse]

Mmmmm problem still there, changed the lift pump. Still there but it is better than it has been.

So…… everything in the fuel system has been changed. The HP pump was an eBay special so might be NOK.

But at the same time the problem only started after visiting a main dealer to code in the rack. And they had problems doing that.

Does anyone have a fuel pressure map I can look at to confirm or quash the thoughts going through my mind. Is the map saying give more fuel than it should so the sensors say fault pressure low?

Looking to get the old HP Pump tested to see how it behaves.
