Many years ago I wanted intermittent wipe for my Jag XJ6 Series 2. All it had was Off, Slow & Fast, plus the single wipe. Made a small electronics board that would remeber the time between two single manual wipes, and then keep doing that interval. When it worked, it was much better than...

FOB not working this morning. Had to use Merc C180 Coupe instead !! (40mpg on M25 & M3) Cleaned contacts & changed batteries this evening. Then had to do EKA & re sync but all working again

If you're a complete masochist and really want that old android to work, you could try a manual install from here. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/variant-%7B%22minapi_slug%22%3A%22minapi-19%22%7D/ BUT, there's a high chance the app will not actually connect to google & grab any...

or fit a newer Android ? Plenty out there, but by all accounts a big job !! Glad I don't have one of those rust buckets.

or go to a local body shop, and get them to clean up the rust & paint the tank !! MoT guy should then be happy !! Does he actually know it's an air tank ??

Android 4.4 is really old. Google maps, etc. needs at least Android 8. Best solution is as above . . . . connect bluetooth for hands-free and use a modern phone for Nav & Calls.

As you have another tank ready, show the local mechanics that it's only the airline & two bolts to change the tank !! If they are scared of the airline :D, just pull the airline at the valve block yourself, and get them to do the tank.

My brother in law is also a bit run down !!

+1 on ARP Studs. I used them on my 4.0 rebuild a few years ago. Got mine from Real Steel in West Drayton. For head gasket kit, I used an Elring kit. Not sure if Thor is the same, but I simply hammered the old one out, and installed a new one. The covers are easier to clean if you...

when it's up in the air, tap the cats with a rubber mallet. You will hear if there's a baffle loose.

+1 on this. There's many car amps on the market with wild claims on power output. Most of them state the Peak Power of L+R added together rather than RMS per channel !! Even with decent bridge amplifier, the max is 55W peak as above, hence the 220W claim for a four channel amp. It's also...

Still take it back & make them fix it or refund.

If you have the 11 digit number from the V5, then you can check what MOT station did it. Try getting the dealer to sort the issues before going to DVSA. They might not have got the MOT's, but still have to sort it under warranty (assuming you only just bought it).

Whatever route you take, do a project thread like "Alibro" has done for his Freelander.

This is the Damian Maguire video about a P38 EV. Don't think he did the original work, but got it working. Bit of a mess conversion though. P38 EV Personally I could never justify the cost, unless we win the Lottery !! Then I would get it done by the experts !!

+1 on that. 10mm all round will drop the tank quite a bit. If you can't be bothered to measure the height, just connect Nanocom or EASUnlock in the evening & check the height readings with ignition-on & engine-off. Then watch for the initial height change after switching off & closing...

Might be an idea to take the inlet pipe off & check the turbine for play, etc ? My son's 2004 started following the whistle noise with a screech. Turbo bearing seals failed a few weeks later. It dumped loads of oil into the exhaust & inlet, followed by engine running even when switched...

Put a Noco Genius battery charger-Maintainer on the Blue P38 last week, because I'm not using it much yet. Seems good, and keeps it topped up !! Now I just need to sort the other job list ! (Distribution Flaps, EAS "Sleep with Ignition off" mod, Whining Front Diff replacement)

We've got an Android stereo in the FL1 2005. This on and the previous unit both do random reboot. Never found out why, but I suspect 12V feed in the adapter cable might be intermittent !! One day I might try the original stereo to see if that does the same.

Call LRSB and ask nicely??
