thanks for this really useful as new ecoforest GSHP owners. Did you experience a loss in performance with the lower pressure? Really struggling to get ours heating to the required temperature, consuming loads of electric, and pressure is at 0.6 bar.
@BlakesDen
@BlakesDen 4 күн бұрын
Thanks. I didn't notice any real loss in performance but sometimes it would shut down as the pressure was too low. From experience it takes a lot of tweaking to get the performance right. The lower flow temp means that it physically can't heat a room up as fast as a traditional radiator. I have fab assisted radiators and they seem to do the job ok.

If you're considering buying a second hand bonnet you have nothing to lose trying to repair this one, except a little steel, gas and wire. Watch some youtube videos for panel repair techniques and give it a go. It may turn out o.k. and you will have saved some cash, and at worst you will have had some practice. Best wishes.

Hi, that is useful information, but the coolant temp is only up to 72'C which means the thermostat isn't open yet. The operating range at idle set by the ECU fan control is 97' - 105'C. Next time you have the kit plugged in, could you please do another screen shot, or link and Excel sheet with all the values when fully warm. Interesting to have the data. It's so hard to trace a problem when you are not certain of what the correct values should be. Thanks.

I finally got caught up, firstly good for you saving this car! Couple of quick things, did you take off the front shock mounts, they almost always have rusted away behind them. And the other thing is for an MOT any non factory joins, e.g. the patches in the boot must have a continuous seam weld along the edges for it to pass. Hopefully not too late to address any you joggled and plugged. Great milestone to have her back on 4 wheels!

Hi! I have a slightly hard clutch pedal. To be clear, it has never been a problem for me. But I tried my friend's Mini 1.3 and the clutch was much lighter. I have a cooper 1991 and the mini I tested is a British open 1995. Do you think that operation helps my clutch pedal?

They both have hydraulically operated clutches which should be the same unless someone has upgraded yours to a racing clutch with stiffer springs. I would check the basics to see if your clutch slave cylinder isn't partially seized. You can also check the clutch pedal to see if that is well oiled and smooth
