Looking on the Island 4x4 site last night for something else, I noticed that they have both GEMS and Thor injectors in stock and the GEMS ones are actually cheaper.

No Dave, people go quiet because they are pissed off with your rantings. We are all aware of Climate Change, we are all aware that politicians will try to offer platitudes to keep the more vocal quiet, we are all aware that the emissions from motor vehicles have such a minuscule effect on climate change compared with other sources of greenhouse gases, we are also aware that even if a tiny country like the UK stopped all greenhouse gas emissions it would have absolutely no effect whatsoever.

I think the only thing we can do now to bring this to a close is to stop feeding the troll......

I don't know. Some faults are shown as Current, for example blend motors when checking the HEVAC, so even though you can clear them they will come straight back. Not sure I've seen a Permanent fault though.

When you read and clear faults with the Nano, the text of the fault code stays there unless you come out of that screen, go back in and read the faults again.

You want to get into politics, you seem unable to answer a straight question so you'd fit in fine......

Can I ask a simple question Dave? If you believe all of the, selectively researched, reports and consider that Greta is right, should not be ignored and we really must do something about it, WTF are you doing on a forum for owners of large, internal combustion engined, cars?

As said, there have been activists on numerous subjects over the years, some have affected things, others have grown up and realised they aren't going to change the world so have gone on to become normal members of society and just accepted things are the way they are. She may have made a few people think but she's never going to change the world. She's in the same category as the tin hat brigade, just she's managed to get a bit more exposure and credence.

and back on topic, zero emission by 2030, no bloody chance. Anyone that does even the smallest amount of research will realise that the amount of CO2 generated by motor vehicles is only a tiny percentage of that generated in total.

D1000 is just a series rather than an actual part number. From here http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tableifc.htm, it looks like the Bosch ones are 0-280-155-787. If you can find the actual part number for a Lucas GEMS injector, you can compare the specs.

I'm sure there's at least two members up in that neck of the woods but can't for the life of me think who they are...... I'm a bit closer than Rob but not by much.

Lrcat is Microcat only ripped off and hosted on a Russian site. Both Lrcat and Microcat both show ERR722 as up to VIN WA410481, so GEMS and ERR6600 as from VIN XA410482 so Bosch. having looked at the usual suppliers, there doesn't seem that much difference in price between either, all around £50 a pop.

EDIT: Immobiliser was showing "Disabled"

That just means passive immobilisation is disabled so it doesn't immobilise itself when you unlock it but don't start it within 30 seconds.

I wouldn't know if they are interchangeable but I do know that the O rings are a different size between GEMS and Thor, so I suspect that isn't the only difference. The Thor uses a higher fuel pressure too so I would suspect the flow rate is lower.

The real issue here is that you, Richard and Lpgc seem threatened by a kid with some unusual ideas; Go figure !

Go figure what? I'm not in the slightest threatened by a kid that has some ideas that the world is going to end and constantly screams that something must be done about it without actually having any answers to what should be done about it, other than changing the lifestyle, living conditions, eating habits and everything else we all take for granted. Christ, if she was old enough and experienced enough to have discovered sex, she'd probably want to ban that too. Think about it, all that heavy breathing generating extra CO2, the heat generated by two bodies raising the air temperature, not to mention the extra electricity needed to put the bedclothes in the washing machine.....

I feel as threatened by her as I do by the nutters that paper their living room walls with Baco foil to stop the radiation from a mobile mast half a mile away from frying their brains.

As Bolt has pointed out, she crossed the Atlantic in a boat that created zero emissions during the journey, while she conveniently ignores the huge carbon footprint and emissions generated in building it.

That's the problem when folks start thinking/acting differently of course, it upsets the Status Quo; If only The Beatles, Elton John etc etc had been made to conform more by their parents then the whole world would be a much better place ??!!

Whether they were made to conform or not isn't the point, it's whether they insisted their parents followed their own non-conformism. How many on here are parents? Most I would think, and how many of us have heard the cries that eating meat is cruel to animals, we should all become vegetarians. That lasts for a few days but they soon get bored of cooking their own meals while the parents tuck into steak and chips.

"Uniti uses steer by wire technology", now there's a recipe for disaster if ever I heard of one.......

On the subject of Greta, she's no different to the thousands of other kids that have thought they know better over the years. The only difference is that she's got the advantage of the internet to spread her words to thousands of other kids that think they also know better. It gets to a certain point where they can't be ignored. So she managed to convince her parents to become vegan and give up air travel, so causing her mother to give up her career? Just shows what a spoilt little brat she is if her parents take that much notice of her. In most families it would be a case of, "If you want to become vegan dear that's entirely up to you, but don't expect me to give up my life for your ideals".

No, not the BeCM, I was being facetious. Wipers will be RL8 or the wiper motor itself while the other two just need an aerosol.

(there are 2 in a GEMS, right? not sure which one I need to be worried about)

There's a green one and a grey one. The green one drives the gauge on the dash, the grey one supplies temperature information to the ECU. If you use the nano to show the coolant temperature, it will be taking the reading from the ECU, so the one that matters.

Multiple faults, it must be your BeCM, you'd better change it. Ahh, no sorry, this is Rangerovers.pub not Rangerovers.net.

For the wiper problem it has to be something common to both the wipe and the park. I'd be looking at F25 and relay 8 as they supply the power, The alarm fault message is usually due to a dodgy connection at the ultrasonic sensor. Pull it out of the headlining, unplug it, give it a squirt of contact cleaner and that should clear it. Ignition key in means the microswitch is gummed up with dirt and fluff transferred from your pocket on the key. If you push the flap back and squirt brake cleaner in the lock and then work the key in and out a few times. The switch is near to the opening at the bottom. Brake cleaner will evaporate and not leave anything that will gum it up further

Like most pots, they tend to get dead spots on the track so don't give a nice progressive change but jump every so often. If the closed throttle voltage is wandering, that suggests it might be showing signs of wear but I can't see how that would affect starting, idle speed yes, but not starting.

That's what I find pathetic about the whole thing. Forced to buy energy saving LED lightbulbs (that won't work with existing standard dimmer switches), encouraged to get a smart meter so you can see where you are wasting electricity to cut consumption and reduce your bills, then be pushed towards buying an electric car to bump them back up again. The public don't always think about it, they just think they don't have to fill the tank with fuel, they just plug it in so they must be saving money but how many of them would leave a 3kW electric heater on all night every night?

Hi Dave, glad you found your way here. I think we have at least 2 Nanocom owners in the Cheshire area who should be able to plug in and check the settings.
