Grrrrrr's latest activity

Don't think it would be robust enough. Has to take vibration, extreme temperatures and moisture. The current electronics have taken that for 30 years on mine. I don't think an Arduino would.

Got home and got the DVM out. 13.6 V at the battery, so either the battery is dragging the lot down or the alternator isn't 100%. I guess I could swap the alternator for the one on the scrapper and see if that improves matters but it will have to...

I'm in love. Went for a spin in a 4.4 Westminster L322 while waiting for the wifes car to be mot'd 😍

Did well to squeeze a straight 6 in there, did they 'modify' the bulkhead? With R&D money being short I would have thought Rover would have at least experimented with the later version of the P5 engine which was producing as much power/torque as...

Sounds like my wife.

you could just employ someone to sit in the boot and press the tailgate outwards when the button is pressed? you might need to wire up a handshake buzzer in case said person falls asleep

Just don't do what i did and put it all back together again and shut the tailgate before plugging the button back in.. took frigging hours to get the beggar open again!!

@MrGorsky got some from Brum that had a Timken bearing. Don't think he's had any issues.

No doubt sold in packs of ten.

Can't remember how many either, but yes I will probably need 20. Let us know how your guinea pig does !! LR Cat shows either 11 or 14 clips for lower trim depending on VIN.

Creality Ender 3 KE and PETG, took a while to get the parameters right but now seems good, I might try with nylon later

Well I finally got around to creating the CAD file and 3D printed the little rascals!

This weekend I continued with the work, after having assembled the sump and the oil pump, I positioned the lower part of the chain and sprockets then timing protection casing, I tightened the crankshaft bolt to the expected RAVE brute force, then...

So it is immobilised.

I just took all the Adobe 4 files and pasted them into the RAVE folder so it kept working when I moved from XP to whatever, how ever many years ago that was!

No big pothole?

Spent some time of the car today. Changed the diff oil on both ends (concrete floors are fecking cold fyi), some Heko wind deflectors fitted as I think they look cool. ….aaaand started to try and fix the leaky bits when it rains. Silicone...

Had a play with 300 bhp / ton?

I think you need to read section S3 in the electrical troubleshooting section of RAVE to fresh your memory. Locking with the key or fob activates the alarm, the perimeteic monitoring and immobilises the car.

Today im preparing my D3 for a trip to NSW national parks . There will be mild off road experience but plenty of flora and forna . I think im luckey where i live ( a small costal village near Bundaberg Qld Austrlia) ther is a surfing beach 100...

So's mine. First port of call for electrical gremlins.

Went for a random drive in it for a bit and just enjoyed it just because I could, im just so glad to have it back, Hopefully give it a decent clean tomorrow its still got paw prints all over the back seats from before mot ran out and its sat with...

And get the alternator to lug around with you, and a belt ...

My RAVE just worked on my Win 11! Just thought I'd try it and voila! That made me happy No idea why

better

Fixed!!! Crikey !!! Ignition comes on!!! Keys work!!!!!

Omg!! There is progress!!! But The frigging rf receiver is not near the sunroof it's near the tailgate!! Never mind! It's replaced and now i go through and test the keys. Green all the way!! Add both new keys... Key 1 successfully programmed...

Didn't do it when I came home. Could be luck but more likely a sign of something on its way out. Wait till it is consistent, I guess

As opposed to locking it to immobilise it.
