dont buy junk – dont sell junk – (another) roadtrip starter motor fail in the Doka
starter motor solenoid refused to fire after stopping in fuel station on the way back from a 350km roadtrip … hit it, short it , check it – remove it and test it.. put it back in, hotwire it with a spanner….then ask two random builders in a van to help bump start it. (Not…

Fitting up external oil cooler for the Doka
The T3 double cab runs LPG and petrol, the LPG is half the price and makes less pollution than petrol so it runs on that all the time. LPG burns hotter (and slower) than benzine so the ignition is about 7 degrees advanced and the engine runs hotter – constant running over 110km (70mph) and…

Porting code and update to the site
So I opened up the hosting space of akciddento.com after a little bit of a break and thought to do some security upates. Drupal 8 was still under the hood running a mildly butchered version of the old Movable Type website and blog – it’s an odd process keeping a blog working for 20 years…

Laptop setup for the 02 sensor in the T3 Doka
Booted up a .Mac laptop in windows to reprogram the #innovatemotorsport wideband O2 sensor to display in lambda rather than AFR air fuel ratio – now it reads correctly whether I run the #vwt3 doka on lpg or benzine. Basically lambda 1.0 is stoichiometric – ie perfect fuel burn – irrespective of what fuel you…
