Assuming they are the same generation Haldex, then it should work. If it’s working intermittently, have you checked the wiring to the Haldex unit? Up by the rear diff, where the wiring harness plugs in, it’s quite exposed. I don’t think they are...

The world has spent the last 100 odd years building up a petrol and diesel refuelling infrastructure so it will take a while for EV's chargers to catch up. It doesn't help that most of us charge at home most of the time so a constant demand in...

It's perfectly possible and worth considering! For now though I just need an MOT it's been 4 months since I last drove it properly, gonna give it a quick shoot up the motorway before the MOT, I will be sure to let everyone know how that goes...

Yes, done it in a layby on the A30, with my feet sticking out towards the nearside carriageway. Oh, from memory it's a 10mm spanner needed, not an 8mm. Keep both sizes handy, just in case. ;)

Import it to the UK and rent it out as a rugged mobile home. You’ll recoup some of your costs, whilst allowing ample time to get a better idea of the market.

Having ceased ignoring this thread whilst on vacation. I shall now resume doing so.

Been busy all week ignoring it 👍

Must admit, I only worked it out after double-checking and spotting the OP’s signature !

Didn't know it was an FL2 when I posted. Will delete my post !!
