Today I took W to the airport for her first trip to Blighty. Got there in plenty of time. Got back 45 mins later so at about 13:30. She was still in the airport at 1600hrs. Flipping Ryan hair. She said apparently the plane never fully left...

They are doing 1 of 2 fings. Fighting for winter nuts, or fighting to get there nuts off 🤔 J

Just got out of the pool, I feel cool:p. J

It works if I connect two wires, positive and load to the two terminals. So I am happy with that.

I would also add that the switch makes the connection (would agree bimetalic switch) to P & N but the load, your floor element maybe off terminals 5&6. Who knows what goes on behind? J

I have fixed 2 minor faults on the Mini today. :) L-Turn tell-tale on the dash was not working. Took the whole cluster out and checked the bulb which was OK. I cleaned the copper track and tweaked the bulb-holder spring contacts and it all...

Just hadda cool baff to cool down. Left the baff room door closed because the sun is about to hit the window. Nice and cool in the hall. Upstairs ok but downstairs is coolerer.

On the Discovery thread part of the forum there are various work-arounds that peeps have done to keep the torque convertor in lock-up. I have been tempted because it comes in at just about the legal max on A roads and, as you said, drops out for...

Did you rebuild the gearbox yet, or just assume it was low fluid ??

I didnt take you for an idiot? I actually asked for more info, you treated me like I had no idea first. You attacked me for not using google. I showed you JLR official documents (right or wrong). You couldnt even bother to be constructive about...

The overnighter (booze cruise) is the only one I can recall ever being available.

Is there only one ferry from aberdean to shetland per day? From wot eye see's this be correct.

As you can imagine we, not having air con in the house, have become quite good at keeping the house cool. We close windows and curtains when the sun is on them but open doors and windows that are in the shade, which means the north facing side...

Mornin Another hot day forecast Doors, windows an blinds all shut, still 25 in house Not going steam fair, it would be madness at my age to stand in a field with thousands of people, fridges and generators running, tractors and vehicle engines...

Squirrels av bin fighting smornin. Squawkin at each uvva. Dropped enuff nuts from me window to feed them but they still chase each uvva oft.

Too ott fer me. Eye has had to take action. Curtains closed on the side the sun is shining. Earlier eye closed the windows when the temp outside were gerrin hotter than inside.

Morning All. :D Another scorcher today! :) Have a good day. :D

Indeed, the square labelled U must be the relay that controls the huge current that an underfloor eletric system uses. And yes, the B or 8 in the box must be the bimetallic bit that changes the switching according to the surrounding temp. So...

Possible, but not certain: The square labeled U: May represent the relay or contactor coil. Which energises a device. Square with 8: This could indeed be a thermal relay.

Ta mate.

Is the 8 inna box a B. For bimetalic strip. Its the item controlling the contacts its linked to.

I’m also just going to throw it out there that the D2 body may be better than the D1’s but it’s by no means except, I know from experience first hand. So you either get a Jap import body which would be immaculate but then what’s the point in...

All the info online, is vague, at best. Much is somewhat contradictory, too Also, IGNORE the Google AI overview - it's wrong (I wish I could disable it permanently, instead of putting a profanity in every search). It's wrong most of the time, on...

On the P38, torque convertor lock up is not wheel speed related as far as I can determine but engine revs related. Lock up in third happens at about the same revs as lock up in top but at lower road speed of course and depends on throttle...

G-wagen, but again heck of a cost.

A Range Rover :p. J

My Wife's car has been driven for at least two years with the plug linking the coils to the rest of the loom mended with garden wire. The pesky spring clip flew off into the middle distance never to be found. so yep, 2 or even three zip ties...

I'd rather drive my D1.

" "the D2 dash(speedometer, tachometer, warnings) will not work for the 300tdi engine cos it works with PWM signals from the Td5 ECM, you'll have to transplant the instrument pack and wire it to the engine and fusebox but let the rest of the...

@RRMaximus you have alot of perseverance. You keep on bleating that you want to lower your RPM but if not fuel economy then why? If its for engine longevity you do realise that a lower RPM but higher throttle request cause higher cylinder...
