Might have got in after a works leaving do......

.

Very good sir! Point of order noted. Apologies for my tardiness. I probably ought to have said in a most likely VERY well built garage in the proud ancient county of Armagh but I was a bit lazy. In my defense 20 miles is in the commuter zone...

I don't know what you do for a living but if I was writing computer programs I'd be concerned. Or anything that can be done sitting in front of a computer for that matter. It was only a few months ago I tried to get ChatGPT to write something...

Module faulty?

I'm liking your approach here. You've done all the heavy lifting of the actual build and are now thinking about everything and getting to grips with all the little day to day usability improvements. Manufacturers spend millions on this kind of...

You'll not be surprised to learn of another issue that only came up while testing with the battery nearly full. I set it to charge remotely while I was able to watch it and was pleased to see it working as described right up until the charge...

Just a wee update on driving and charging. The car has been driving great since the 12V relay module was replaced. :D I've only driven around miles 60 since but it's been flawless. TBH I had always questioned the wisdom of using ultra cheap...

Thanks. If I crack an easy way then I will document it.

Yesterday I had the wheels aligned. The nearside rear was a pig as the suspension is all original on that side but the guy used Oxy to heat the nuts and they moved easily. All the rest had been loosened before so were not too bad but the job...

Front wheels balanced and all vibration at totally legal road speeds now gone 💪

Just catching up on this project @pscan.eu . Stirling work! I'm very impressed. It's been great following you and @Alibro carrying out such major but different builds so well.

It's not perfect, but I quite like it. i think that maybe the gearbox assumes that the engine has more torque than it does, so it does take a fair bit of accelerator depression before it "kicks down", but I actually quite like that. I can...

Whoopi so some good news on this subject, returned to my friends today with second hand newly cleaned injector removed the old one No3 which was once again caked in black oily deposits, and was quite hard to remove due to sticking again, cleaned...

Finally finished the front suspension replacement (I hope!) Replaced both struts, springs, lower arms, TRE’s and drop links. Also put a new driveshaft on the n/s, as the old one had some damage. Managed to break a bolt in the upper mounts...

And then I gave it a quick wash. Nothing special, but no more field on it 😉

Good work @Freddie17 . Always good to see shiny new parts fitted. Hopefully the alignment sorts the judder.

Depends what you want really… Very generally; An F1 is easier to work on as much less electronics. Decent ones harder to come by. An F2 is more modern and a nicer drive, filled with electronics compared to an F1, easier to come by but obviously...

They look mean

I'm still holding out for ipack functionality. 🤞

Found the problem. The seal on the reverse piston cover had swollen so that it didn't slid in smoothly. Identified when I clamped the cover to remove the circlip and could not compress the spring. Then it went in with a bang, like the gear change...

If you've read this far, the repair was a success and stopped all slipping. However, the vehicle developed a hard change into 3rd or 4th. Summary is that when I did the work I used a second-hand reverse clutch drum complete and didn't open it...

What I have come to discover over the years, but more recently have observed demonstrated by more learned folk than I (mentioning no names...) that there is always a way and taking a pause, maybe for a bottle of Proper Job or Korev, pretty much...

So after 11 years of owning my FL1 I finally got around to getting the rear window washer working. I made it more of a mission than what it needed to be! I thought the pump motor was stuffed - no. Took both pumps out and then the washer bottle...

A new battery was delivered from Tayna by Yodel late yesterday evening. Clearly marked with arrows "This way up" the ****er of a delivery guy carries it upside down and drops it, literally drops it, on its end in the porch. Good job Tayna pack...

Fitted wiper linkage clips to stop the arms popping off

You broke it ! Not uncommon apparently. My Sport TD4 passed MOT today with no advisories ! Treated it to some fuel and a clean beforehand.

Booked it in for alignment and bought a fresh pair of front driveshafts for it, because it's my car and if everyone else gets to be wrong about what's up with it (including JLR) then I do too

Once again @Alibro I'm very impressed with what you're doing here. Adding bespoke coded devices is next level stuff.

Skynet's coming
