What did you do with your Range Rover today

That was for Flossie who was talking about running a hosepipe over the car or driving at 140 to test for leaks. The rain in Spain goes mainly down the drain.

Today I 'ave mostly been sorting a Fuel Burning Heater remote for my 07 Rangey Roverer.

I started by following this idea, but without the wifi thing, which is where the trouble started, because I wasn't using what he used. The wiring was the same idea though, and I bought a cheap (less than a tenner off fleabay) remote relay. So it's a positive lead from the vehicle wiring to the + on the circuit board, with a connection to the 'com' terminal, earth to the - on the board, and a trigger wire from the 'no' connection to the vehicle loom.
At first it would only work if I kept my finger on the button, not ideal as that would lead to a sore finger and probably drain the remote battery in no time.
Then I found out that they need programming. There’s a small button on the circuit board, with 3 options; momentary (standard option – hence having to keep your finger on the button), toggle and latch. I used the latch option, one button on the remote for on, one for off.
This system is ideal for use at close range, if you need to operate the pre-heater whilst sat in an office then you’ll need a gsm system, and good look figuring that out. I used this video to suss it, now I need some nice bad weather to try it out for real.

I dont want another winter of salty roads and crap all over my range rover so when mot runs out in December it'll not be getting motd again till February,
It still may have a run too Windsor and back with trailer too pick up my grey m47 converted transit,
But after putting 53k miles on the range rover in less then 2 years it deserves some proper tlc

Salt scotland and rust and some idiot hitting it last year, suddenly a 300quid transit is more appealing to get wrecked

In the south east there's nothing but sunshine and lollipops. Nope. It's wetter than an otter's pocket and still raining.

If it's a rear wheel drive Transit like mine, it will have almost zero traction on snow.
