    My crazy diff ratio change idea

    Best fuel economy is at max torque. Guessing on the petrol that's about 3000 rpm? I'd leave it as it is. I'd also guess that given most fuel economy figures are quoted at 56 mph (80 kph) then that's probably what it has been tuned to do best at. Is there a rubber doughnut on the rear prop...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Those Wildtracks are pretty good. One at work was twin - turbo with 10 speed automatic and I think it had low range too. Pretty sure it was usually 2H but also had 4H and then 4L on a knob near the gear selector. Towed with it a few times and it was effortless, albeit a bit thirsty.

    Yes. Although as you say, the Morgans Owners club might know more.

    P38A GEMS signal for ok to start.

    GEMS is rolling code. Not convinced the Thor is but never played with one. I also don't know if it just sends the code to start or whether it continually sends it. Both strategies were used on the diesel depending on the year. Marty scratched the protective coating off the chip and then used a...

    P38A GEMS signal for ok to start.

    Yes, I realise that but those 3 know the procedure all the way from capturing the code to sending a code to start the car. iirc the Thor and diesel are similar in that there's a single code held in the BECM and the chip in the EMS. GEMS is different in that it uses a rolling code that is...

    P38A GEMS signal for ok to start.

    Might be worth talking to Les at Classic Rides North Wales or maybe MrSporty or even Marty_uk, although probably have to try Marty's forum to get hold of him. I think all three of them know how to capture the remote code and how it is then stored and sent from the BECM.

    P38A Seized nuts!

    Managed to crank the scrapper and bleed the pipes. Car started but no throttle response. That's slooby's FIP. I suspect he may have had the pump top off! Tried the nuts again. Failed so put some Quiksteel on there. Might hold them in place if it doesn't just break off.

    P38A [P38] Common coolant leak locations

    Check the aircon drains are clear. Coolant or water coming out? If coolant then either heater-matrix o-rings or possibly the heater-matrix itself has failed.

    Surely if you turn the harness upside-down you get the mirror of it? Although I guess not everything is mirrored on the LHD?

    P38A Faked mot exhaust sensor

    Simple bluetooth OBD reader combined with Torque app should allow you to see all readings on a Thor engine. EDIT: iPhones don't like Bluetooth. Nanocom tends to interrogate each chip separately hence the weird grouping sometimes.

    Semicolon is the European default. Makes sense really as they use commas instead of decimal points and that would mess up the number of columns. In Excel just highlight the column and then ALT, D, E. (Text to colunns on menu).

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Only thing I know about private plates is that you cannot make a car look younger than it is, for example putting a 51 plate on a '95 N plate. You can of course put a '95 N plate on a 2001 car. I think transferring the plate is simple enough but might have a transaction charge.

    Pressurise enough and it will blow coolant out the overflow which goes to the side and then underneath and then drips down the wing.

    Whole f_ckin' day wasted today on those two bolts and no further forward. That and trying to bleed the high pressure pipes with 2 dodgy batteries that **** themselves as soon as you try to crank. Utterly wasted ****ing day. Those bolts have one chance left and then it is time to get violent.

    Gentlemen (& ladies), We're looking at an automatic diesel P38A. Two of them actually. I'm trying to get the rad off my scrapper and onto what I am hoping might become a runner. The radiator on the scrapper looks original. It is held at the bottom by two bolts that go through the rad holder...
