Maybe it's cos Boris Johnson's in, the CIA is sensitive about intelligence sharing with the Brits now

I can confirm that the CIA have not contacted me to divulge information about the mysterious secret lives of folk who post on rrpub and rr.net ;-)

But given that its supposed to be commercial now it could either be going tits-up or trying to pivot to a subscription service.

You're welcome to pay a subscription if you like, mine's a pint thanks.

Not-logged-in users get Google ads, which at the current ad impression rate will pay for about four months of hosting every year, which is better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. Most ad impressions are to the Russian spammers that seem so adept at signing up.

dave3d - I did drop you an email but I guess it's been spamfiltered or something. If you can stick it in something like Google Drive that's probably easiest for now.

There's plenty storage space ;-)

If anyone complains that I'm infringing their copyright then I will take steps to remove the offending links.

Here's a list of handy things to download, collected into one place. Add suggestions if you've got 'em!

• RAVE is a collection of the various service and troubleshooting manuals

All forums are inherently crappy but kids these days don't like Usenet :-D

Your links are working fine.

what is the most commonly owned but unused item in a P38 owners workshop?

Tin of turtlewax :-D

If you've not got grinding paste in the garage

I've got grinding paste in the shed

I guess most folks under 45 haven't,

What year is this? <checks driving licence> Awww ffs...

When the motors failed in my front door locks, I just disconnected them and wired in some cheapy aftermarket door lock actuators that I mounted a bit further down the door. You have to be careful to pick somewhere that the window won't foul them but where you can still get the actuator rod up to the sill lock rod.

The driver's side motor has packed in, so at some point I'll need to get that apart and redo whatever bad connection is causing it.

Is that filter doing what I suggested a while back, listening for P38 fob preamble and only gating the output on if it hears it?

Depending on how smart it is, I might have a very cunning solution to the "non-programmable key" issue...

The O-rings are easy, you can do them in about 45 minutes. If you've got a left-hand drive version it ought to be even easier, since the pedals aren't in the way.

Surely "Ignition Tamper" would be down to the ignition switch rather than the fusebox? The BECM reads the switch and decks a pin to pull the starter relay in, it's not wired directly.

Not really an issue for us P38 folks since it doesn't have one... :-)

Aha, I see, something else fallen off during the Great Server Crash :-) Sorted now. This is why testing is important.

I had a crack at repairing the link but it appears that flickr design their URLs to be as unfriendly as possible ;-)

As if As if any of us would direct someone here from rr,net, were not allowed to do that. Lolany of us would direct someone here from rr,net, were not allowed to do that. Lol

I hear the rr.net mods get awfully trigger-happy if they hear about that happening ;-)

Sounds like it's missing. You won't get a check engine light for that, or indeed anything else. I'd be looking for loose or damaged plug leads with a big dollop of snow and ice around them :-)

Fairly deep out on the road from Forgandenny to Glenfarg.

You'd be amazed how quiet the engine is when it has a snow radiator blind and undertray :-D
