2000 Discovery 2 - Update 1



Things I have Done:

  • Fixed Gas leak.
  • Fixed Misfire issue. 
  • Fixed No Brake Assist.
  • Ordered Touch Pannel LCD.
  • Broke Sun Visor Mount.

Gas Leak

I wish I had taken photos of my fix for the Gas Leak, so I'll have to cite a photo from Rockauto.  The Fuel Pump plastic had aged and begun to crack on the elbow joint inside of this supporting plastic ring(?) that's located at the top.

After disconnecting, cleaning, dying, and scoring the plastic on pump I filled the ring with Resin and let it set for a day+.  After it dried, I reconnected the unit and it tested out ok.

Misfire Issue

This issue pissed me off for a good bit but I was able to sort it out and it wasn't the ECU, the OBD2 was reporting multi-cylinder-misfire and it was experiencing a loss of power when under a load or going uphill, this lead me to think that is was not a bad ring.  All that said I started by checking the spark plugs and doing a compression test on each of my cylinders and thankfully they looked alright and all returned good numbers. 
I felt like a sensor to me so I figured I would started replacing them first; first the Mass Airflow Sensor (I'm not sure of a good test for this component) but sadly this didn't resolve it.

 I later replaced the spark plugs along with the distributor packs and this resolved the issue.

No Break Assist Issue

Replaced the vacuum booster and master cylinder.

A :
My End goals are to integrate:
  • Lightweight Linux computer w/ touch panel interface.
  • Forward and Reverse cameras with persistent recording.
  • GPS logging.
  • OBD2 Output logging.
  • Independent PIC/Arduino 125mhz reader to unlock the doors and enable keyless start from the outside.
My Immediate Goals are to repair:
  • Cosmetic Exterior Wear.
Things I Still need to learn more about:
  • Land Rover All-Wheel Drive.
  • Options to improve Gas Milage.

Understanding & Constructing Dynamic CVP Elements with VFC: Part 1

Our Goal today is to construct a CVP Element that will consume an input string and by using the TTS engine on the Developers box will output audio for our test call. Cisco provides a number of examples of ways to create simple Dynamically configurable elements, you can find a number of them on the Cisco DevNet space for CVP.  Cisco also provides Programming Guides  for the CVP and Element Specifications  (I am linking articles pertaining to CVP 11.0 for simplicity). We will be making use of the Voice Foundation Classes or 'VFC' to construct the VXML content for our Element but before we dive deep into VXML we start we are going to need to create a java class that defines our custom element. public class MyCustomDynamic_Element  extends VoiceElementBase implements ElementInterface { } As you can see we are Implementing the ElementInterface class and Extending the VoiceElementBase class. Next, we are going to need to define the name of our e...

Creating tar files for Cisco UCM with a Mac

PCCE 11.x Multi-Line Not Working

This is a step to take if you have made sure your configuration is correct but the changes are not taking effect. After going live our customer detailed that they required Multi Line Agents, Multi Line means that their agents had an ACD line and a Non-ACD Line and that when they picked up their Non-ACD line their ACD line need to go into "Not Ready". After following the Instructions set by Cisco in  Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise Administration and Configuration Guide, Release 11.0(1)   Select Single Line or All Lines to indicate whether all agents supported on the agent peripheral can have one or more than one line configured. Important: If you select All Lines, you must access Cisco Unified Communications Manager to set Busy Trigger to 1 and Max Number of Calls to 2 for each phone. Use the Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration tool to change these settings for all agent devices. If you change the Agent Phone Line Control setting, you mus...
