Thanks for the thought. As I'm in no great hurry to sort this, I'll probably order and say so. In our normal summer temperatures I just press the down buton until nothing further happens. Then turn the fan knob 3 or 4 full turns and leave it at that. Then if it gets a bit chilly I open a window...

Kurt ?

I think I had already reached the conclusion about keeping as spares, but your pessimism (realism?) about 1 month made me smile.

Thanks for pointing me to Marty's website. I have just downloaded his first-rate 19-page instruction manual. Now that I can see exactly what is involved I will definitely be ordering his repair widget. I plan to repair the original control panel so that when I've done it, I can swap them over...

Well, I'm suitably impressed, but I can't help but wonder if any of our colleagues on here will contribute more imaginative observations.

Thanks Brian. Sounds like a sensible idea, but having replaced them, I hope these bits will not be needed in the foreseeable future. If someone else needs them urgently, no doubt they'll sing out. I am going to be asking much the same questions about the aircon control panel, but I guess I...

Just when you thought that it was safe to open these pages, I have one final (maybe....) point to make on the no longer vexed question of my recalcitrant EAS. As some will know I worked my way guided-by-you way through the system and replaced all or most of the bits that were faulty or might...

I was on the point of asking if all was well with you, as we have just today seen Lytton on French tv news. Dreadful.

Thanks Brian. I will have a look at the market section. I must confess I hadn't thought about the physical protection aspect of these shields.Perhaps something heavier than the original version for a bit of rock protection ?

....with jump leads on the taps perhaps ?

Not a face book user so I didn't know it was a sales site, but I'll have a look.

We do get up to 42c here but usually only for a few days at a time so behind our stone walls we mostly keep cool. At present we are going through the Monsoon season. Bet not many people know that France has a Monsoon season. Been here 13 years and it's the first one we've seen.

But how would I achieve that carefully figured rustic finish ?

Almost exactly what I had in mind. Hardly worth metal-bashing at home at that price, and much cheaper than the LR official part. Thank you

Hello Gord. Thank you for taking the trouble to provide more input. I take your point but I had in mind that it would be clamped to the pipe, not flush with the surface, but with simple "stand-off" brackets allowing airflow 'twixt pipe and shield. It seemed to work on the Cobra with only about...

Excellent idea. I believe that this is what intellectuals call lateral thinking. I can't see any reason at all for not fixing a shield to the exhaust rather than the chassis. I think without any insulation layer it would act as heat shield and heat sink. Perhaps a few holes would help. also...

I think you're right and I'm not sure what my enormous riveter would do to soft plasterboard, always assuming that there is room for it under there. I think I'll just have a close look at the sensor next time I can get it on Monsieur Renaul's ramp and see if it looks affected. Thanks for your...

NOT Red Wine then ?

Good afternoon Marjon. Thank you for joining the party. AND thank you for taking the trouble to take the photographs. At least I now know what mine should have looked like. It wasn't as smart as yours and there certainly wasn't that much left of it. Eventually I think that I will make something...
