Managed to get it closed. Possibly an intermittent fault. Still likely the controller so worth replacing I think.

So after my D4 pallava I thought, at least my D2 is ok. Then after starting it today the front sunroof tilted fully open and now won't budge. I'm guessing its the controller. Does that sound about right? It has a slight leak I think, just enough to drip down the nearside B pillar. The previous...

Another thing I noticed is that some of the wheel arches and trims seem to be coming away slightly, like some of the clips are broken. I would expect some clips to break if you remove those, but (1) I would replace the broken ones and (2) would these need to be removed? I guess maybe if the body...

Range Rover Rebuilds, aka Royal Rebuilds

Currently sat in Burnham On Crouch station waiting for my train(s) back to Taunton. I was expecting to be collecting my Disco 4 after the engine was rebuilt, but on arriving there is some damage that wasn’t there before. 1. One of the spotlight pillars on the bumper has broken and someone has...

I might set one up if I thought it would be useful. This one has been the best for a long time though. I have domain FL1.UK ready to go (no offence to non-UKers). We could use any advertising revenue (if any) to help fund scientific projects like yours ;)

Annoyingly couldn't get it to go wrong today! So decided to add extra earthing, to be sure.

Both good suggestions. Thanks will try today.

Hi all, I've got an interesting intermittent tails lights issue. Sometimes neither side works but when I indicate the light on that side alternates with the indicator. Sometimes only 1 side works then indicating makes it the other side start working Sometimes it's a combination of the above, and...

Thanks - blame ChatGPT ;)

According to ChatGPT (I couldn't be bothered to work it out) 10Kg of hydrogen at 350 Bar and 10 degrees C occupies 9150 litres (9.15 cubic meters).. That's quite a big tank! ChatGPT told me you could use 4-5 standard cylinders of 30 cm diameter and 1.5 meters height for this. It didn't seem...

Actually he said they were at 350 bar, which means even less!

Interesting. The guy at JCB said a baco would use around 6-10 Kg of hydrogen a day (depending on the engine). Unfortunately he didn't mention how this would compare with diesel, but I think those engines are 4-5 litres.

Thinking of agricultural use, JCB have developed a fuel bowser that can carry almost the equivalent amount of hydrogen that it's diesel counterpart would normally carry. The amount isn't quite as much but is as near as makes very little difference. This isn't obviously for long distances, where...

JCB are currently making great inroads in hydrogen engines - not hydrogen fuel cells but ICE hydrogen engines. Although they are mainly concentrating on engines for tractors, tele-handlers and the like, they aren't seeing the same disparity with petrol or diesel that you are talking about. The...

How are we feeling about hydrogen fueled cars? It would be my preferred option but not far enough along in the development process yet.

Fantastic!

Interesting - could that also cause problems with the signal from the fuel tank sender? Mine seems to be intermittent but I had assumed that was a faulty sender. Didn't occur to be they could be linked until I read your thread.
