If it's a "temporary import for repair", then you should normally get the duties back when it leaves the UK again. Same with VAT.
Had the same thing a few years back shipping Motorola demo kit to various non-EU countries. It a case of getting...
JFC.
Might be worth a post on LZ courier service. If someone like @Mark Piercy was heading over the Channel he might get away with saying it is his spare in the boot if anyone asks.
"Give them a ring", Ha! Good one. You can't talk to anybody on the phone any longer and certainly not for this.
It's not the tunnel, it's the ULEZ zone. The toll booths at Dartford were removed probably 10+ years ago to ease the congestion...
+1. It needs the Timken bearing which costs quite a lot. There was a replacement parts place in Birmingham that did an aftermarket hub with the Timken bearing but they're gone / been bought out.
I looked at this some years ago but by the time I added the cost of all the parts up it was about £100 shy of what Ashcrofts were charging for a fully refurbed transfer box with all the parts done. So I dug out the £650 and paid it.
The only...
I lock mine in standard. Just let it settle at standard height and then press the inhibit switch next to the height switch and it will stay there. Data leaves his at motorway height but I am on Arnott 3 springs.
You shouldn't have more than 100 bit count difference across an axle. Sounds like bent arm. Personally I use calibration blocks and average the value across each axle. They have to be within the expected target range as well or it'll think it is...
I think you can ignore that. The engine isn't running at those revs. That's a measurement taken on switching off or more likely starting and the volts have dropped low causing it to log a fault for some reason. I'd just ignore it.
I cannot...
We have tried to order height sensors from Island 4x4 multiple times with no luck. Either they just dont respond or they respond with no stock.
Because of this we are busy developing a mod that will allow you to fit magnetic potentiometers that...
I love snow. The proper stuff that we rarely get anymore in England (when we do there's an enforced lockdown and all the roads are closed) but i love the hot sun too. All we ever seen to get is cold and damp out slightly warmer and damp. Or 'too...
Indicators overriding the hazards seems a good idea to me. Imagine being on tow, hazards on to warn traffic behind but still being able to indicate the intention to turn.
Did you use the tunnel? If not I would give them a ring. They can be helpful.
A couple of years ago I went over the Dart' Bridge and was shocked to discover they don't do cash and you have to pay online within 24 hours - which I had no means of...
I set up an account with TFL for all of my vehicles in January, went to a funeral in the ULEZ a couple of weeks ago and got the £90 fine on Saturday for non payment. Turns out, the account I set up on their intentionally impossible to navigate...
Replaced the control arm ball joint today with massive help from @Flossie , don't think i could have done it on my own! I'm rubbish at thinking my way out of problems but I'll remember for a next one!
Thank you :)
It gets more complex with waves between different models.
We've been here a few times over the years.

The locking works because triggering the button microswitch (i.e. CDL switch) makes the BECM thinks you're inside the car & want all the doors to lock. Conversely when unlocking using the button, the mod makes the BECM think you want to unlock...
the remote station installed gives power to the motor that opens and closes, then the cdl does the rest. so as you say, it makes the becm believe that someone is inside and blocks the lock... if you have the immobilizer active it is a...
Don't worry about the staining, as long as it's not raised or dented but flat and checked with a straight edge to be found good you can rebuild it. 👍 If you start scrubbing and remove any metal at all you'll run the risk of a burn through or...
You could try a bit of diesel or ATF with some fine wet and dry and very lightly with fingertips try rubbing it gently and see if that gets the stain off. Check regularly to make sure the metal is not scratched or worn by it.
Sounds a bit odd. There are 3 microswitches on the driver's door. One is the central locking so if that fails (closed circuit) the central locking won't work.
Hi everyone, I still have to unlock the brake calipers, change discs and pads and bleed, but since I have little time these days and the weather is bad, I took advantage to do some light work. On the advice of user @RobertZ , I checked the FIP...
I don't think I would want anything spoiling that mating surface from being as tight as possible. Think of the pressure when that gas mixture ignites and how long a bit of sealant might last against those hot gases burning.
The valley gasket or...
