And yet you didn’t question me saying you may need different bolts? J

Clearly you are rather over sensitive to anything contrary to what you think you know. Most of the comments early in this thread were why it might not be a good idea. You took them as direct critisim rather than answer in a technical manner...

The rest of that thread went extremely like the one on here!!!! But the other one that did it and said it was fine was NOT doing it to RRs!!! "Actually, on another forum someone said they had done this to three cars and it worked out great for...

So this is the person that knew a person: "I know someone that did a similar thing, because he had a long daily commute. His only complaint was poor acceleration at higher speeds. However, he drove solo with no cargo. If you use a roof rack, or...

Or RETIRED you dumb@ss.

We are entitled to breaks don't you know, having one at this very moment

So you've suddenly found 3 more cases of this? Funny you didn't mention it before. :rolleyes: Links please. And if this really is the case, why don't you naff off and do some work/ get on with buying them and changing them/ find a life for...

Really? Now that may be difficult soon I think. I am on here and continued to try and help on 2 of your threads :vb-confused2:. Yes you were. I think it could have gone another way if you had spoke sence, and answered questions sensibly...

Well then.... I was trying to iron out some of the problems you may face when/if you do this change, to maybe help. And thats the thanks I get. No you havent had 100% confirmation it can be done. It has be voiced on here that it could possibly...

:handbag:

:handbag::dance:

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone said summat like this, although @Avocet1 ran me a close second and I have since relearned what I learned as a rep. "after the first 10 seconds of you talking they will mentally switch off" 10...

If I can make a few people laugh/smile during each day on this planet I dont see that as a bad thing:D. J

Stan wants it to stop as his reputation for a page of words saying very little is at stake :oops:. Sorry Stan couldnt resist:). J

Brace yourself, I expect there's another one incoming momentarily.

I tried to help to just to close it out around 10 pages back. I think we just need to drop it now, every post gets another essay as to why we're being laughed at. I'm ok with being laughed at.

Judging by the amount of time he spends on here posting loooooooong, I wonder how much self-employed work he is getting done! 🤣

(There is just a tiny little bit of a touch of Trumpery about all this now. ) And if I wasn't sure before, I am dead sure now. It's a cr@p idea. The fact that so few people have done it proves it. (So far one person that knew one other person...

only 1 person? wrong i read at least 2. Now as much as you may think I might be doom and gloom I dont see my comments that way. Now as for technical stuff which I know you hate to talk about, and I do like to research interesting stuff. I class...

Divorced did you say? Work for yourself because no one would employ/work with you did you say?

Jeez, that is a good question and certainly not a good thing... You hadn't turned the engine anticlockwise by any chance🫣

The glow plugs are new last year and about 1,000 miles ago. That’s not to say there couldn’t be an issue there. There’s about a third of a tank of fuel in it. I have a hand primer bulb fitted before the fuel filter, so I can confirm that the...

How much fuel in the tank? If it's less than half full, a failed in tank pump can cause starting problems. Also as Mark said, check the modulation with the engine hot when you get it started.

Took the P38 out for a camp before a cycling event around Exmoor at the weekend. Some very steep hills in very hot weather and it was absolutely spot on. Currently hovering over the buy button for new front and rear airbags for the P38...

Decided to brave the heat and strip it down. Question if I may... I've got the clock cluster unplugged and out. Ign has been off for a couple of hours, is it safe to put the ign on to fiddle with the , now removed, blend motor? Or will the srs go...

I think i read every 200 cycles. Unplugging it does the same thing

Cycling the ign didn't work , then the blower wouldn't speed up then I remembered that I hadn't put 'back to ecu control' on the nano but then the blower speed started to respond without plugging the nano back in again. Might strip it all down...

I'll give that a go, ta.

Nano says the pot is duff. I've tried forcing it with the nano but getting no % movements. I remember unplugging the hvac last year, I think, which fixed something that wouldn't work. iirc, all motors were working as they should but the book...

Cycle the ignition a few times without starting. On mine I can usually hear the motors moving after a while. The docs say it self- calibrates every X hundred uses, but who knows what the real number is !!
