Was bright sunshine today but chilly wish I could send a picture
Very merry Christmas to all 🎄
Yes many thanks for the help and advise much appreciated.
Part ordered from LR direct. Looking forward to fitting it and making her happy again.
Will do thanks, they are a bit pricey at Rimmers.
Road test today O2 sensors are working ok. Current air flow @2500rpm over 400
Thankyou that’s very helpful. She will get a bit of a run today so I’ll connect up the Nano and check. Helps to know what to look for. 😄
Thankyou, I will have a look at Rave this week. Have not got much in the way of diagnostics apart from my nanocom and a multimeter. I do have some spare lambda sensors and a spare aftermarket Maf.
Hello, my fuel consumption is dropping at the moment (12.1mpg) is it possible to test the maf to prove it good or bad one way or the other. If it does need replacing do I stick with genuine parts?
Not my baby was asked to pass it on. Hope nobody had an order outstanding with them
We've been waiting for confirmation from the liquidators on what to do going forward, but we're tired of keeping you in the dark. As some of may you know, we are sad to announce the closure of Britcar UK after 15 years of trading.
Unfortunately, a series of events meant the business, in its current state, is no longer sustainable. As Duncan wanted to retire, we planned to sell the business in 2020 and invested heavily to improve it as advised by the person interested. Unfortunately, COVID then hit and our planned purchase fell through earlier this year. The issue was then compounded by extremely high shipping rates around the world, and a multitude of issues with import duties and taxes after Brexit that led to a decline in international trade.
We believed we could trade out of the situation if we made enough cuts, and indeed were able to yield a slight profit for two months. That is, until the next disaster hit us.
In early October, 2 weeks after Scarlett took over to try and turn the business around, our credit card provider contacted us to inform us that the e-commerce platform we were using had massive security issues and we had 30 working days to launch a whole new website and backend or cease trading.
We had no choice but to opt for an off-the-shelf website and try to modify it to our needs. Scarlett worked alone on this every night and day, and we launched it with over 400,000 products on the 9th of November. However, we immediately experienced issues with processing orders and receiving goods. There was also a limit on the number of redirects we could have, cutting our organic google presence overnight, which made 50% of our sales.
Already being in a precarious position financially, and with these issues compounding the problem, it was evident that we were close to trading insolvently. We made the decision to stop taking payments on 24th November, and shipped out all the parts we had available for customers.
We are so sorry to be letting some of you down. Please apply to Paypal and your credit card companies for a refund. For those who paid by other means, please await further instructions from the liquidator once they have decided the next steps.
One day, when we sort out a new and improved website, we hope to be able to return again but for now, we want to thank you for your custom and support over the years - it made all the difference. Thank you for choosing Britcar UK.

Not sure how it works but glad that it does, bbc radio three shuts down on free view at 4pm now if we could get that sorted out. 🤣
Thanks for that will use the switch live. DAB has only worked for the last six months on Flotta the pure highway picked up eleven stations more than enough for me 🙂
Brilliant, works a treat. Wish I had done it ages ago. I have stuck the aerial onto the left hand rear glass. Hard wired to the aux on the radio with a female to female adapter. May get a 3.5mm extension lead and tuck it in. Have not tried the fm radio connection as it was so cold in my car workshop. Not mounted the head unit yet, it may live in the glovebox 🙂. Have listened to radio 4extra and the reception is great. Can I pick up a 12v supply in the boot?
It comes with a three year warranty
Thankyou will keep an eye on it for now. Many thanks
While having the P38 on axle stands yesterday so I could grease her nipples I noticed some slack between the rear prop and the transmission is this normal?
They can do an amazing amount of damage.
It is a great forum very helpful people who point you in the right direction. Gilbert’s is a gold mine of info and gets back to you quickly. Does Phil still have his Holland and Holland?
