Yes, a straight swap, the difference is impedance isn't noticable. The original ones are held in with bent tags around the outside whereas the JBL ones have holes for screws. I just drilled holes in the plastic mounts to fit them.

Speaker technology has moved on quite a bit in the last 20 years so while the originals may have been decent in their day they aren't really that good by today's standards. So buying secondhand may be a bit better than what you currently have but not by much. On the advice of a mate who's been a sound engineer for years, I replaced mine with a pair of JBL 600c units and suddenly discovered bass.

E10 is a new "petrol" they'll be bringing out in 2020..

Apparently it's bio-ethanol fuel..

Petrol has had bio-ethanol added in small quantities for some time. In France the only 'proper' petrol you can buy is the 98 Octane stuff, the 95 Octane is now E85, with 15% ethanol. It eats some types of the materials used for fuel hoses and seals on earlier cars so worst case you'd need to replace any flexi hoses and seals.

If it's now running on all cylinders on LPG and has lost the original problem after being run on petrol for a while, it does sound like the trims got themselves a bit cocked up. If it was due to one dead lambda sensor that should sort it.

Although it says 1994-2002 it shows the correct part number and says from VIN XA or later so it will be the right one. Assuming it is genuine Bosch and not Chinese knock off, it should be fine.

Not a straight pull then......

However, that does look like a roofing bolt, usually made from a grade of steel marginally harder than plasticine.

No, you must back off every half turn or so to release the swarf and let it drop out. If you don't, the flutes will get clogged, it will get harder and harder to turn the tap until it either jams or you snap it off in the hole.

Should be no problem in ally, might be more critical if you were tapping a blind hole into a big lump of steel but 10mm thick aluminium is pretty soft anyway.

0.2mm would make a difference if you were trying to tap a 3mm thread but not a 12mm. Just take it slowly with the tap, back it off to clear the swarf every half turn or so and use plenty of lube. Toolstation do a proper drilling, tapping lube in an aerosol but since using the last of mine I've been using a can of 30 year old 3 in 1 oil.

How thick is the metal you are tapping?

and that proves what? That you can work out the address of the hotspot but that doesn't give you any information on the person that lives there. If you read the thread you linked to in post #125, in the conclusion it specifically says that PERSONAL LOCATION data is extremely valuable, not simply location in isolation. As has been pointed out numerous times, a location alone is not Personal Data. The strava heatmap came into the news because you could zoom in on places in Afghanistan and see the route people took when going for a run which made it very easy to pinpoint where US Military bases were located. Nothing to do with Personal Data and as it only affected US service personnel where GDPR doesn't apply (as it is EU legislation) it is irrelevant. Or at least it is to anyone except a member of the Taliban with an RPG who could find it rather useful.

Doubtful that a camshaft would wear out in such a short time and it wouldn't run on all cylinders on petrol either, it would be the same on both. There would need to be something seriously wrong for the cam to wear out on 4 cylinders too, especially all 4 on one bank.

If the lambda reading was static you were probably seeing a bias voltage from the ECU rather than an output from the sensor. That will only be there when there's no output from the sensor so the system goes into fail safe open loop. Quite why it has been running fine up until now is a different matter though. If it was dead before and running fine, why has it started to run rough?

Highly unlikely it's damaged the bearings if it is a faulty follower, the only thing likely to be damaged is the follower itself. It will be putting less stress on the cam or bearings rather than more.

You've got two coil packs, each consisting of a pair of double ended coils. The two coils in pack 1 deal with cylinders 2 & 3 and 5 & 8, while the two in pack 2 fire cylinders 1 & 6 and 4 & 7. So if you had a coil going down it is unlikely both on one pack so it would just affect two cylinders that are fired from the one coil. Didn't you have a problem when you first did the head gaskets with an iffy connection to one of the coils?

Glad someone else agrees. Piston slap would be the other way round, worse when cold but less when hot as the pistons expand. Giving it an oil change is good advice as you've no idea what it has in it but if it has been doing it for the last 5 years it's more likely something worn.

Definitely sounds like you've lost a cylinder or two. What's the idle like? It won't idle any slower as the ECU will wind the IAV open to keep the revs where they should be but it's sound uneven and will be particularly noticeable when you rev it from idle.

Definitely sounds tappetty to me. I'd suspect a dodgy follower. It is working and pressurising when cold and the oil pressure is higher but once the oil thins down a bit it no longer works.

What ? My BT FON HOTSPOT is a public service ??

Of course it is. It's providing a service to all BT customers who are already paying for it through being customers of BT.

And, with respect Gilbertd you just answered your own question: A pub is a ‘service’ and (presumably) it wants to be found… if there were kids causing a nuisance outside the landlord can call the police………………… and pn that not, I’m calling the ICO !

and so is a BT FON Hotspot, it's a service that can be used by other BT customers, and if there are kids outside causing a nuisance the resident being affected can also call the police.

Call the ICO so we can put an end to this. Or will you just argue that they don't know what they are talking about either?
