Although not a compulsory (thru EU diktat) scheme, the current "scrappage" offers don't appear to be "saving the planet" either. I can get a brand spanking new Toyota Land Cruiser and get £5,000 scrappage allowance against it for scrapping (my old, now sold) VW Passat 2.0L tFSI '06MY that meets...

It's right that there's raised awareness of the carcnogens that are being pumped out into breathable atmosphere. I live close to the junction of south Blackwall Tunnel A102 / A2 turn off so catch the brunt of Dover traffic. But to enforce against those individuals making a real effort to...

Since that February letter, on 26th June I had a rebate against a year's tax paid of £325 of a whole £9.17p. And a fresh V5C now showing Type of Fuel as GAS BI-FUEL. But although I forwarded the LPG Conversion Certificate to prove conversion that shows LPG after Conversion CO2 of 8.1 and...

B162 v2 refers to VIN range 4a153466 to 4860 so guess that'd be north American VIN's series Mine's an '03MY with a 3a VIN number. Whether that means I'd still be vulnerable. Or that something changed from the 4a series as indicated, I dunno o_O

I'm not going into one of those Cryogenic chambers then. I'd probably wake up in a gaseos state. And cold :eek: Thanks for the TSB listing, will have a look now <later> couldnt see it in the TSBs' listing you kindly posted. But here's a link that mentions...

Not now going down tomorrow as workshop wants to changeout the fan viscous coupling. Have ordered up the BMW equivalent from Germany (£343-odd inc VAT +delivery from main agent, £43 inc both from Germany) When I did my NCTJ at London College of Printing we were taken to theGuardian's works in...

I'll try and find its details then

It certainly killed #5. Workshop reports difficulty in removing plug. So they didn't change any more That's an idea -- I've only ever once run just for 15 miles or so on petrol -- it returned 18mpg indicated on dash LCDs It wasn't and showed itself by dumping coolant past the expansion...

I'm going to collect on Thursday so we'll see how it performs during rush hour going back up the A3/M25 There's several cheepo varients on eBay -- and there's a Hella that's £206 inc +p&p -- I'll do your newspaper check I've got several issues of theGuardian hanging in the toilet

>>There's also been mention of a different Loom being fitted somewhere's to avoid the slow >>battery discharge symptom. But haven't found any further details. More info on this >>welcome Welp, I've done extensive searches in here for "loom" especially for the L322 slow battery discharge issue...

So eventually, got Barny Jones (Dippenhall nr Farnham) to have a look at the clunks and they changed the lower bar arm and joint. I could see it was clunky coz the mechanic could move the lower ball joint with ease. So I had both sides done but at OEM prices for the bar arms. And had the...

Bit worrying whether or not this original kit is left on in the car when all's switched off and locked up. What with these reported battery drain issues on the L322. I've been using the car every other day since collection after the steering column lock catastrophe so don't know whether its...

Yep, that's about the situation today in tech stores -- got much the same thing in Currys/PC World -- in Halfords nowadays it's: "well if its not on the shelf we haven't got it" :confused: Did a year in Maplins about 15 years ago behind the counter (ex-techie myself). Then they made sure that...

<later> It's BT-CELLNET or VODAFONE Nothing much apart from four user-defined options shown on my iCarsoft i933 which don't include allow to change network, or allow to switch off auto-assign, or even add a network. Yet according to handbook, those options should be available. Handbooks are...

Thanks for the reply. Luckily there's a very knowledgeable chap in Carphone Wharehouse in Crayford. Previous keeper's old SIM was in the Landrover card SIM holder so will pop in and see what network it was on. If either Voodophone or T-Mobile and they still do PAYT will get a SIM and see...

Old thread but thought I'd tag onto it for convenience... Just trying to use the installed 'phone in my '03MY L322 -- Service provider VirginMedia. Finally got the SIM to be recognised with the passcode shown as accepted by the head unit. But continually getting the message "No Network"...

Welp... mine's now started working with this '01 ABS ECU in my '03 L322 with the BMW engine (re-configured via AutoLogic or some such level tool) That'd be 100 kph (63mph) for 30 secs to come on. And the rest parameters to come off. It was very slow though to sink back down after I'd pressed...

Just a quick note to praise H2H for their quick response in offering, then paying me a decent discount coz the ECU they supplied was an '01MY and not as could be expected from their advert an '03. Seems in a field of "others" they're serious in trying to provide a decent product The "over...

So came up the A2 and an Audi (why is it always an Audi?) decided to drive up me chuff all heads flashing and obviously in a rush to have a ****. So, for the first time, I booted it instead of moving over. I'm on the LPG and there was a little bit of hesitation, a cough and then jeeez! Did it...
