Which two gears do you use most? First and reverse already have switches (for HDC) so adding one to second would not be too much hassle?

The clutch bracket does indeed have a bracket for a microswitch (which is generally unused - I guess a legacy thing from earlier versions of the HDC etc)

just watched the video - ChatGPT made a LOT of mistakes and it looks as though you really need to know a bit of coding (programming!) to see where it’s gone wrong to correct it. But I guess it gives you a start!

Nice work! How did you find the AI with the coding Alibro? (in my day, it was called programming, but hey, I am old)

Ah, that's a bit sad! But no worries... :)

If you have heated seat wiring in that discarded birds nest, I'd be interested! :)

I still have the same alloy plate - it is just about surviving despite some further abuse. If re-making in the future, I would absolutely use something thicker and stronger. I can't recall the material specification of the alloy used: I bought off an on-line metal supplier. But as others have...

Brilliant - hope she is enjoying it! :) my daughter has just completed her first year and I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone!!!

I hope not! lol

As an associate professor at UCL, I too read the second comma as being unnecessary ;) FWIW lol

good work - and I still have that seam protector on my car's sills - I dare not peel them off!!!

My Disco sport has it - nice in winter and helpful to demist (although air con does this really well too!)

No worries regarding the heated seat wiring mate! :) I don't know if the screen wiring is a separate loom, or part of the body loom. Knowing from experience what Rover and MG Rover did back in the day, the chance is that this is all taped up in the main body loom (complete with a different part...

Same here @Alibro . Although I am not convinced that it would make a massive difference, I completely understand the rationale for wanting to do the torque test in the direction of rotation of the road wheel.

Hi Andy, I have a couple of project ideas, but really need a replacement aerial and base, but not sure that the 5-door version is the same as the one on the three door? The projects I have in mind are: (1) a retrofit of heated seats (the thing I really miss) - my car doesn't have the correct...
