Always plenty of space in the electric parking bay

Thank you kind sir👍

14.7psi or 1 bar seems normal. 1.2 bar may be possible.

Will get some one sat next to me tomorrow with diags plugged in to take some live readings whilst driving around

Don't forget those things that shouldn't happen, but do! Or is that just me?

Yes, you are correct. Familiarity breeds contempt, these days I only notice when something that should happen doesn't happen:rolleyes:

@Frank_38 depends where you're based. If outside the EU, check your local exchange rates & make sure you select the "without VAT" option. Also which engine type ? GEMS & EDC are £40 more expensive than Thor Motronic ?? For example...

www.Blackbox-solutions.com a good investment and they have a good resale value.

The l322 onwards is pretty much electric anyways, just needs a hunking 4.4 v8 to power the alternator 🤭

Probably not use to you but I managed to get the ecu comms issue sorted. For me it was the steering lock module causing issues on the data bus.

It's always the passenger side on my P38's that fail. I put it down to lack of use allowing time for the contacts to corrode. Never a problem with the drivers side but the switches for the rear windows also play up from time to time.

Yes it's popular, but i expect the same folks replace the universals and complain about how the crap parts don't last

Oooh, that's going to be difficult going into tescos dragging four wheels behind you 😜

Take the wheels off lock them up somewhere.

Park it front end in with the steering cocked right over. They won't get it then👍

I don't expect any oil marketed for general use today will have zddp in it. It was removed because it could reduce the life and efficiency of a catalytic converter, but it's critical in flat tappet engines. Some people will say that's utter...

A lot of bods with the series and the likes throw one shot in. It is less (hmm) likely to leak... If it's leaking it'll leak either way👌I'd replace the swivels and the rest of the bowl fittings. I understand keeping it's originality but these...

If so the plugs are hidden under the metal plates at the borrom corners of the windscreen just above the pollen filters. 👍

Does it have the option on the hevac? It should have a heated screen I think🤔

Any oil residue around the intercooler or pipes ? 🤔

I used to have a chain on my old 2a, it went through the steering wheel and down to the pedals I think🤔 Sorry to here that kermals but not surprised unfortunately ☹️

The speedo was off anyways so I tried again and managed te remove the needle with a fork. Was quite easy actually. I have taken apart the mechanism as far as I could without doing damage and found the culprit. The screw shaped gear that drives...

Yours is a v8 @Frank_38 ?

Funnily enough I'm using an aluminium enriched 2k epoxy mastic to fill the pits on the front axle of the 101. Unlike the ordinary series vehicles, the swivel balls can't be replaced, as they are welded onto the axle tube. The plan is to sand...

Trailer lights.

My secret leak tracker is talcum powder, some leaks only show under pressure and by the time you stop and search the water has dried, (I spent months tracking a tiny pinhole in a heater hose that dribbled down to the top of the gearbox on our...
