YAAAY! Congratulations!
The RAVE download here (https://rangerovers.pub/downloads/rave.zip) is just a bloody big Zip file of the PDFs. It works on any OS that has a PDF reader.
Lately I've noticed that Evince, the PDF reader that comes with Ubuntu, complains about links between documents, which seems to be some wacky political decision on the part of the devs that I haven't had time to dig into, but it works just fine if you browse to the PDF you want. Most of the time I'm in ~/rave/pdfs/lp/ and either reading the ETM (file starts with et) or Workshop manual (file starts with wm).
That's a bit weird. It's a .jpg, but it won't let you update it because, what, it reckons it's not a .jpg?
I'll look into it tomorrow :-)
Hi folks, I haven't really had a lot of time to do stuff with the forum but a few folk contacted me to say it was unbearably slow.
This appears to be because the thing that makes emojis work has been closed down by the third-party provider, and it takes a while for the script that handles emojis to do its thing. I've disabled it, and things seem pretty snappy again - at least, as good as they ever were - but if you spot anything that looks really really wonky let me know!
Aw man I work in Hamilton but I'm crazy busy right now. Will you survive a couple of weeks with it the way it is?
Stopforumspam says Results: Found 122 entries for "ngu45g65yen@gmail.com"
I'm going to let this run because the engineer joke is funny. If they get pisstakey then they can get deleted.
I can't say I've had any problems with stock BPR6ES. Apparently they're meant to be gapped to 0.9mm which is probably about 35 thou, I don't really get all this inches stuff ;-)
8°C is an amazing dream right here, it's 23°C and stupidly humid at midnight...
Surely if power is missing from pin 19, it would be wiser to check where the power comes from? It's unlikely to be the TCM.
Edit: wait, is 19 an output rather than an input? In that case it would make sense.

You can get non-immobiliser ECUs, I can't see it being hard to "emulate" the immobiliser part of the BECM, and an unimmobilised GEMS ECU will start and run just fine whatever method you use to spin the engine over. If the ignition is on and the key is synced, jumpering the starter relay won't cause you any problems and it'll just fire right up.

@Gordonjcp-adm…. I change the oil in my vehicles every 5000 miles religiously. Ive never once had reason to check the levels in between.
I would never run any 20-year-old vehicle without checking the oil at least once a week, and certainly before any long journey (which is every time I put the keys in, these days...)

Suppose I also have to figure out where 4 quarts of oil went since I serviced the engine 4356 miles ago….
You haven't checked the oil in about two thirds of the service interval?
FWIW the spammers are usually using a tool like XRumer to automate signing up and posting. Although the library that handles the form that you type your post into has some trickery to protect against automated posting, there are people out there who are using a lot of skill and ingenuity to work round it.
Judging by the spam signups, it looks like rrpub is included in XRumer's list of possibly usable forums. I guess no publicity is bad publicity, right?
It also doesn't help that there was a bug which I've sorted out where you couldn't just delete all the spammers in one go. There's been a bit of a cleaning of the stables since...
" I don't quite know why a motoring forum would be including under-age children. They don't drive,"
My 14-year-old would take issue with that. She's a better driver than most of the locals here, and so far in our Landie outings is the only one who has never got bogged.
I took the liberty of editing it so it all lines up. If you start a line with four spaces it shows in a monospaced (typewriter) font making it easier to do stuff like that.

Cheers! Saves me some trouble then.
Hylomar is available in a spray can now. It’s very handy stuff. :)
You can get spray-on Hylomar now? I think this post should be stickied :-D
That looks like a good way to do it! There's a bit of discussion in the flaskbb project about creating an image uploading thing but no-one's really got it working well yet. About the only thing we can agree on is that everything else we've seen is a pain in the backside.
Adding a bit of javascript to clean up the URL shouldn't be hard, I don't think. I think the UI for the link editor in the javascript editor for posts sucks, it's way too complicated and confusing.
Oh cock, the downloads are broken. Right, I'll get that fixed...
I had mine apart to clean it, and I've got a "cruise but no stereo buttons" steering wheel. I can find out what the resistors you'd need are, and the rest is just tact switches.
