The work is never done, even on the day of rest :)...

Vauxhall Astra H came as a non- runner with some unusual electrical symptoms; diagnosis showed a comms error to the engine ECU.

Investigation and cross reference to the wiring diagrams found a corroded and broken functional earth hiding in the engine loom - new section grafted in and we had ignition !

Looks like all future remaps are likely to be "direct to chip" types. Only the automotive industry is vain enough to think they can stop remapping... 😁

German car industry plans to close OBD interface The discussion about the question who owns the data generated by cars might come an end. At least this is what comes in sight if a proposal from the German automotive association VDA gets through: The proposal calls for a neutral cloud-based entity that categorizes, controls and distributes these da...

New directions and horizons.... watch this space... ;)

With winter starting to close in now, people are increasingly finding that their heater isnt working the way that it should - or even not at all !

Today we have a customer who's L200 has suffered a matrix failure so a replacement was necessary - a scary proposition as you can see !

Heating & Air Conditioning is vitally important on these colder mornings for demisting screens and side windows - is yours working properly ? Speak to Stu @ Rye Performance & Motorsport if yours needs attention :)

Here @ PowerForge, We've come up with a "GENIUS" idea...

Until 1/1/15, All OBD GENIUS remaps are coming down in price to just £220 !!

Call us today and see the benefits a PowerForge remap could bring you and your car today.

Please note that PowerForge Tuning will not be open tomorrow as we are attending Mechanex 2014 - please refer enquiries to my mobile number :)

Thanks

Can I interest anyone in a nice, steel fez ?? :D

Actually - its the prototype can for a radiator header tank to fit phase 1 & 2 Land Rover Freelander - the plastic original suffers from underbonnet heat and antifreeze attack, cracking around the filler neck and depressurising the system, leading to leaking and overheating.

Finished design will be available in 304 Stainless, est price circa £50. Watch this space for further developments.

Need a custom tank for your application ? Contact us at info@powerforge or on (07738) 100537.

Its not all performance and power... sometimes it's classic or even something historical....

1947 Howard Rota Gem Cultivator :)

Another non-starter - but you can't plug OBD2 into a Magneto lol. After a little head scratching and some YouTube advice - all up and running :)

Next project for this one is a hand made exhaust silencer - watch this space for further vintage adventures !

BTW - any interested parties - this will be for sale shortly, asking price is £500 - please message me for details.
