Hi and thanks for asking Baffler,
In short, no real progress although the replacement pump seems to have settled in and is returning better mpg than the old pump - (mostly rural back roads driving here and getting 43-45mpg rather than 35-40 before.) Crept up to 50mpg on the 30 mile run up the A30 to Exeter recently - so can't be that far out?
Engine now starts in a revolution (a bit too briskly?) and pulls well but still black smokes when pushed hard.
All fuses ok but I've not tried altering the pump timing myself this time as I've lost heart a bit since I can no longer get any feedback from the dongle/obd port.
This is my third V70 and I remember the previous two seemed silky smooth from the cabin compared to this one but I am confident it will convey me and Mrs to Scotland in a couple of weeks time without major issue. I would be happy to make a detour if there are any timing guru's on or near the route from Cornwall to Scotland!? (I'd have to bribe my navigator of course!)
