Morning All. :D Strange start to the day. One shouting arm waving person of colour at the bus stop (didn't really need the phone he was holding, they can hear him in Africa from here); then 30 yards away from him a derelict hunkered down...

Morning all. Lots to do. Gonna get the steps off new car and start packing for Scotland:) feel like utter trash as I feel like I have a cold coming on

Wanted to do a bit of work on me Landy today but another thing got in me way. About 5 months ago I was diagnosed as pre-diabetes 2 and at risk of getting it. And have been badgered by an NHS (contractor?) to join a help programme, to which I have...

TACO... I'm not a conspiracist, but the CIA should've put a better shooter on the roof...

It has turned a bit cooler today. Central heating switched itself on this afternoon, must have forgotten to turn the auto off at the start of summer :rolleyes:. Put me thermals on tonight - might need a cup of cocoa later 😁

Yes, RS are still trading ...

Found a 200tdi sump in the shed, goin in the scrap I think, can't be bothered painting it for someone to use

Aye,preferred the older one myself too.

Thats the trailer spare sorted, not perfect but looks good from 6 feet away 😄

Evening, that's the new landy home. Lost a bit of coolant so I think there is air in the system somewhere after egr replacement. V tired. Long week at work.

How many amps required to actuate one of the relays? If it isn't a lot just use a buck convertor to step your 12v up to 24v for testing. They are usually <£3 ea.

Quite rare now I would imagine.

An interesting combination! A Land Ripsy? Does it have the flexitor suspension or leafs?

Morning All. :D Bright but chilly here. :) Gotta go babysit the son's place when the buyers surveyor calls. Have a great day! :D

Anyways eye is up urly as eye hassa busy day at wuk. Up before me squirrels arrive fer brekfust. Recently when they ran out ov nuts eye went out wiv more and they din't run far oft like before. Even climbed back down the trellis to gerra nut eye...

To get 24vdc buy yerself a small psu https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/ac-dc-adapters/1753325?gb=s And an inline fuse so yer dun't blow yerself up. To test a relay yer can measure the coil resistance while in circuit. Uvver components in parallel...

Yurups bestist selling 4x4, the freelander. Mans bestist friend.

Appi Fridi peeps. Long weekend incoming!

You is sposed to check compatibility apparently, great news if you're running on fumes and on the forecourt. Newer motors is generally ok i think, but i dont touch the stuff.

Yes I've seen on various forums that avoiding Rouen north-south or vice versa is a PITA. Someone listed a detour route which sounded long winded and frankly, long. I thought get a sticker and drive right through as normal, its only €4.something...

Might prove if the coil is OK. I just suggested the same, should have read forward first... and not be posting in the middle of the night...

Ouch. In the cheap places here petrol is about €1.33, mostly E5, and diesel €1.28. I put E10 in my car by mistake in France once and it leaks now.

Not a bad idea, you could prob take the battery out of one car and connect in series with the other without removing it from the second car so as not to disable them both. Shouldn't be an issue for a small test like this, at least you might...

Van der Valk wasn’t too bad I have to say. All the old stuffs the best. 👍

Yup when it comes to animals. :)

No, the driver had to keep stopping to sort their hair 😵‍💫

Yer big softy

So what won the Beano Town Soapbox Race? ------ a Freelander :p

Nite all!! :):):)
