  1. Usb endiscope... Pb tech 50 dollar ish... plug into phone have a look first just in case one wing happens to be sitting half in valve seat on open valve.... Then ya know what to do. Don't fiddle poke prod untill ya know.... If ya find it sitting by a open valve where it's sitting...

  4. Yes It I agree... It seems like horse sh*t thay they would try to blame it on solar.... No issue here with the dealer all is good and being looked after. So you are saying your one is "seeing" voltages up to 14. 7 as well? Nm... Is yours still mounted on engine when 2 have died? CD....is yours still mounted on engine... I probably will move mine because it would be easier to get it if happened again. I read all lot of the Nordkyn stuff... All very interesting but I cannot find anything definitive on what actually goes kaput in them which I would have thought considering the amount
  5. So apparently Volvo have said that the main cause of MDI box failures is caused by solar panels attached to the system and the voltage getting higher than 13.8v which kills the MDI which in turn stops the motor and won't start or charge or do sweet bugga all unless you get out the screw driver and short the relays old school...and yes I know how to wire the emergency start button but that voids warranty so if the above is true how do you get around a solar charger charging AGM's at 14.7 which will keep the VSR engaged which also means the start batt see this as well (SLA) and if both power
