Yes, ultrasonic sensor, I showed you that when I was last there but I admit that was in June last year. It's the thing above your left ear when driving (as your steering wheel is on the wrong side), pull it out, unplug it, give the plug a squirt of contact cleaner (or even WD40, or whatever the French equivalent is, if that's all you have) and plug it back in. That's all I did last time and it seems to have lasted a while. Otherwise, I'm sure someone has a spare one kicking around so you can swap it.

I think it's the way it's working since Gordon updated things. There were spam posts in both Oily bits and Electrickery and I let the power of having mod privileges go to my head and deleted them. After that it said no posts but I think it really means no new posts.

Getting back to the emissions, what do the lambda sensors show when running on LPG? If they are staying at one place then it really is running rich, if they are flip flopping about, then the mixture is correct and the tester didn't set his machine correctly. Did it give a figure for lambda? If it did, although he was testing to LPG standards the machine was measuring emissions as if it was on petrol.

Only got the one on the grille on mine, plod probably took the tailgate one off when they covered it in reflective stripes.

Local for me and got to be worth a visit. If the LRO show and others I've been to are anything to go by, it'll be about time the P38 got a bit more representation.

Only 37 miles for me though, some you win, some you lose......

Classic wheels won't fit, PCD is much larger. Classic, Defender and Disco 1 use one size, P38, Disco 2 and later stuff use a different size.

Nah, no LPG and the clips on the coolant hose are rusty (and it's a Sport so only a tarted up Disco really). I've actually been up to Kahn and collected a Bentley Continental GT they did and while the workmanship is outstanding, the taste often leaves a little to be desired.....

The reverse dipping mirror feature is turned on but the feedback pot has died. In theory it should dip to a predetermined setting when you select reverse and then return to normal when you go back into drive. When the feedback pot dies it may dip but not return or not dip but think it has and then try to return to where it thinks it should be. Easiest fix is to turn the feature off by turning the ignition on (but not starting the engine), select reverse gear and then press and hold the memory store button on the drivers seat for 2 seconds. The dash will beep at you and display Mirror Dip Off.

Sent to me by a mate and I thought it worth sharing:

See you on Friday, Simon! (I'll get that photo of the LPG injector plug when it stops pissing down)

Have you broken it already?

Don't think so, lots of power for nuts and bolts doesn't fit well with a power screwdriver. I must admit, I've used a standard battery drill for smaller nuts and bolts, particularly when there's lots of them all the same size.

But I think you've got your priorities all wrong with this new house. Surely the list of priorities should go:

1. Large garage, at least double width, preferably 1.5 cars length long and with enough headroom for a car lift
2. Separate workshop with room for a good sized bench, air compressor, tool racks, etc
3. Lots of parking space outside for the next project (or the donor car)
4. Large storage area for all the crap that lesser mortals fill their garages with
5. Easily accessible toilet
6. Somewhere to sleep
7. Somewhere for a sofa so you can relax and watch TV when you've finished playing outside
8. Somewhere for a fridge and microwave so you don't starve.

Although I have a sneaking suspicion that Mrs Morat may have different priorities......

I assume this new house will have a double garage with sufficient headroom to install one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-POST-LIFT-CAR-VEHICLE-RAMP-LIFT-HOIST-3-5-T-3500KG-TWO-POST/253473094034

That's actually the same unit I bought and took down to France for my mates workshop and 8 years later it is still working fine (I think in 8 years they've got cheaper too!).

I'll second the 18V DeWalt XR Lithium if you want a combined drill/screwdriver. Unlike the earlier NiCd or NiHM versions, the Li-Ion batteries are less prone to dying and charge a lot quicker too. As for impact driver, I've got a Clarke CIR450C (https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-cir450c-12-drive-24v-impact-wrench/) but it's crap. It's OK for spinning bolts out but if they are tight they need to be slackened off with a breaker bar first, so go with the recommendations from others.

It's 13mm for the nut but that's a very good point. I might have to bung a spanner in the Jiffi bag too. As for NorAuto Brian, think Halfords but with nothing more complicated than an oil filter or brake pads and even then, only for recent, French built, cars. They will sell you tyres though, provided you order them as you can guarantee the size you want won't be in stock (that'll take a week, maybe two....) , and fit them out the back although balancing them seems to be an art they have yet to master.

Look what I managed to acquire today, free of charge too!

Teri, it'll be in the post tomorrow.......

I assume they are the same or at least very similar on the Range Rover Classic which probably explains why both were missing on mine......

Just got to find the nut and bolt. Called in today at Avenger 4x4 and showed him a picture of what I wanted. No chance was the answer. When he breaks a car for spares he throws all the wiring looms into a big bin and weighs it in for the scrap copper. He weighed a load in on Monday....... He suggested looking for BMW in a breakers as it was BMW era when the car was built so they may well have the same terminal.

It appears that the pumps are the same except for the colour of the connector which would explain the different part numbers. It's always possible that they are different internally but they are all interchangeable so I've always assumed them to be the same. Thanks for the offer of a decent non-return valve, PM sent with my address.

I've got a couple of breakers in my area, I'll have a look and see if I can find the bolt and funny shaped nut and drop them in the post to you. Simple enough to fit, you should be able to do it yourself.....
