Took the drivers seat out and repaired the heat element. Note to self, must not wear shorts in this weather (leather seats).

The leathers bloody cold with trousers on,
shorts

sounds like my eldest son out now on a push scooter in shorts:crazy:

Are your tyres AT2s or ATs (the "2s" came first!) I Had GG AT2 on my Classic IMHO the (current) ATs are even better - particularly in the snow. Astonishingly good all-rounder.

AT2's, been the only car up or down the road for a couple of days.

Nope Grrrrrr came out today with his nano com. After consulting Gurus mozz and I think rickthepick it turns out it thinks it's a French Gem manual engine.

I've heard of this before - on here.
I think that, when a BECM goes into it's alarmed state, it's language goes to French and the date changes, or something similar.
I think you'll find that you need the VERY expensive diagnostics for this so it looks like you'll be adding to Rick's holiday fund.
At least you'll get a guaranteed solution.

Yep it's heading off to Rick for him to work its magic.

The holiday fund is getting a boost ;p

Had an emergency call out today, a reason (or excuse!

) to drive it hard and fast. Wow! I was surprised just how good it is! Traction control clicked a couple of times (first time I've heard that on wet road rather than mud or snow) but boy can it hang on to the corners. For a 2.5 DT, when you really hoof it the acceleration is pretty good.
And is it possible that it did it some good? On the way back home, at a more leisurely pace, it felt really smooth, gearchanges seemed more decisive. Maybe just really warmed up. Anyway - it was good

(and I got the emergency dealt with too!)

P38 - Replaced the Steering damper had a look at where some oil was leaking from left side rocker cover gasket it seems. i'll be doing that in the summer no doubt.

Classic - Replaced the steering damper and thought while i'm on my back i may as well grease my shaft, so i did.

i suppose laying on your back greasing your shaft is one way to spend your morning
