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?

Sorry Morat, but I can’t allow you to keep being overly selective like this either

So stop doing the exact same thing. The Google Maps is a very good example, you can look and see that there is a pub in a certain location but does it give any Personal Data of the Landlord or any other identifiable individual? No it doesn't, so is not in breach of GDPR. You could argue (and you probably will) that the location of a pub is a benefit to, and has probably been encouraged by, the Landlord so he has directly or indirectly given his consent. So how about Filllpg.co.uk then? That uses Google Maps to display the locations of LPG filling stations but the locations are added by the users, for the benefit of other users, and not by the owners of the filling stations. Again, it doesn't give any Personal Data for the owner just the location of a service. Is that any different to the BT Hotspot map?

So, stop confusing the location of a service with the location of a person, they are not the same. Even then, the location of a person alone is not enough to identify that person so is not Personal Data.

How much???? £300 to get it back on air, replace the radio/sat nav with an all in one like Marty and Chris have done and sort the engine. Worst case a reconditioned top hatted short block will only set you back a couple of grand.

The FON service is capped at 1Mbs and isn't enabled if you have a slow connection in the first place (which you may have if you are really out in the sticks) so it doesn't slow down a customers connection. You are paying BT for a service and by opting into (knowingly or otherwise) the FON service, you can use every other BT customers connection. So you still getting service even when out of range of your own router.

The dear departed Orangebean had a disc which I think was the most up to date that was available but even that was only 2005 I believe. I got a copy of it from him for the guy that bought OldShep's car and I think a few others (Morat?) also had a copy.

But your case has a hole big enough to drive every Land Rover product ever made side by side through it. An address is not personal information. It does not allow anyone to identify the identity of the person that lives there (unless the householder has put a bloody great sign outside saying, Fred Bloggs lives here). If it did, the likes of Zoopla, Rightmove and every estate agent in the country would be in contravention of GDPR.

In case you hadn't realised, that's my alter ego....... I also corrected yet more of his duff info and am surprised that both the OP and my posts haven't been deleted yet

On the tappets, the one my mate in France bought was making the noisy tappet sound and it was a worn rocker. The hardened end that bears on the valve had worn away so there was too much clearance for the hydraulic follower to take up the slack. He actually had two that were worn but only one was bad enough to make a noise but the other wasn't far behind. There was a TSB on this although it was only supposed to affect a batch made in 98 but it's possible that others suffered the same problem.

Gilbertd got a lifetime ban and never did get an explanation why. So I just registered a different username, using a different email address, and carried on. I keep my posts to factual, don't dare use anything that could be considered humour, and send PMs to those that are in the UK or look like they are being given a hard time/duff information inviting them over here. I have even considered adding, 'Formally known as Gilbertd' to my signature and seeing if anyone noticed......

The problem you get with How Many Left is that it goes on what was entered as the model when the car was first registered. So you may find that some H&H were only registered as Range Rover Auto. If you check for the Linley, although there were 5 UK models built and at least 4 of them are accounted for, How Many Left only shows one as ever being registered. That one is registered as a Linley, the others will have just been registered as a Range Rover and there's lots of different variations there.
