Ways to Search the Forum - Take 2
Reading again through Reeb's sticky post at the top of the main page reminded me of a system I put together a few years ago to improve on the poor search engine then in use. So, I decided to leave a 'Search Term' marker on any post I made that covered a subject of general interest. This enabled me to easily find it again at any time. Eventully I had quite a long list of these Search Terms that someone else may find useful too.
Anyway, although I stopped extending it long ago, the list is given below. All you need to type into the forum search box is the upper case and any special characters shown. 4BS = 4-wheel brake sensing idea #ACRO# = Acronyms and Abbreviarions BRC = Bonnet Release Cable #BCF# = Bonnet Cable Fix. The 'Shuttle Shuffle'. Also see BRC Bonnet Release Cable. #CFO# = Cooling Fan Operation #CFR# = Cooling Fan Resistor #CFW# = Cooling Fan Wiring (Kenlowe, etc) #CPR# = Crankshaft Pulley Removal (Thread with suggested custom made tool) #dpump# = Diesel pump stuff. How to replace with Peugeot version.etc. DTG = Digital Temperature Gauge DTJ = Double Thermostat Jeopardy. Overheating in 1.8 PRT engines if fitted with an upper stat. DZUS = Dzus fasteners / Turnbuckles / Undertray screws #ETB# = Engine Tie Bars - Lower tie rods, teardrop mounting, part numbers, etc. FFOR = Fuel Filter O-Rings FFS = Fuel Filter Syndrome FFSPICS = FFS info with Pictures FOC = Fabled Orange Clip FOCPICS = FOC info with pictures FSP = Fractured Spring Protector #Gap# = Facelift Bonnet Gap issues, guidance on fixing. #HLA# = Head Lamp Adjusters, Adjustment mechanism, fault solving (esp. see: http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=306324) #HID# = HID projector lamps, projectors and their types IPK = The 'Instrument Pack' (German). Sometimes mis-written as IKP. IPKDM = The IPK Diagnostics Mode. Set up procedure, computer stuff, monitoring engine temp & other related stuff #KEY# = Ignition Key related info. Replacement keys, coding, cutting, chipping, etc #KPC# = Kick Plate Clips (Cheap equivalents from eBay) #LDP# = Left Drift Phenomenon (See also PLS = Pulling Left Syndrome) LSM = Lights Switch Module #MCS# = Maintenace Check Sheets. Posts with 2004 version images. #PCR# = Plenum Cover Removal #plen# = An overview of the plenum and its drains PLS = Pulling Left Syndrome (see also #LDP# Left Drift Phenomenon) QSS = Quick Search System. Recovers info on this system. Also gives info on the proper way the forum search system works. #RSC# = Rear Seat Cushion - Removal & refitting - My How To #RWT# = Rear Wheel Toe , specs, adjustment, etc. #SDC# = Spring & Damper Codes. Model specific references, etc. #SHR# = Swivel Hub Removal (from Haynes) #SIL# = Silicone hydraulic fluid. DOT5 fluid. Warning on use in standard systems. SPP = Sinking Pedal Phenomonen SSS = Stuck Stat Syndrome (common in diesels leading to poor fuel consumption) STS = Slack Tappet Simulator - the petrol vapour recycle solenoid valve. #STP# = Standard Tyre Pressures - As quoted in the Handbooks T4 = MG Rover's proprietory diagnostic computer system #V6B# = KV6 Cambelt stuff, fitting advice, part numbers, etc. v6stat = V6 Thermostat, housing & associated pipes, photos, Part Numbers, metal version VIN = Vehicle Identification Number #VIS# = Variable Intake System stuff (V6) esp motor replacement. #PVR# = Petrol Vapour Recycle system (The petrol vapour recycle system/solenoid valve, etc) #VRS# = Vacuum Refilling System for coolant.
