12.6V is a fully charged battery.
We call it character. Enjoy!
Mine does the same if I let the wheel spin back quickly. If I unwind the lock normally it doesn’t. Never bothered me, the stalk is heavy and has a fir bit of momentum if moving quickly.
I do find it handy at roundabouts though, indicate right, go around, let the wheel spin back and it is already indicating left to come out. Design idea way ahead of its time!
Bought one for the spares bin as soon as I saw your post.
….. or the volumetric sensor for the alarm. I believe that an also cause isssues.
There are different ones for GEMS, they are VIN specific. Make sure the part number matches your VIN.
If you are going to levy a per mile charge, then wouldn’t it be easier to up the tax on fuel by say £0.50/l and forget road tax altogether? If you have a vehicle that is tax exempt, then you claim back against that expense every three months. (We have something similar here with road tolls so people who have to use a toll road for their daily commute can claim back the costs). That also fixes the various classes of engine capacity etc.
Electric vehicles pay a charge (pardon the pun) on every kWh they draw from a charge point for their road tax. Before we move down the path of saying they are tax free, we all know they won’t be in the future, unless you restructure the whole road funding base etc.
Just a thought.
Yes, a spray bottle works well and is a little more “metered”.
Accumulator time. 5 minute job. I used a syringe to ensure the new one was completely full and also the union it screws into. No need to bleed the brakes, at least I didn’t need to.
HHO is just a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, both colourless gasses. In actual fact, from a chemical perspective it would be HHOOHH as oxygen is diatomic.
Back to the cylinder cleaning, as a young fellow, we used to give our cars a "clean and tune" by wedging the throttle open at about 3,000 rpm and quietly tipping water down the throat of the carby, just enough so the engine started to die, but kept running, i.e. just a trickle. It certainly improved an old engine, steam cleaning the cylinder heads, and the amount of crap that would come out of the exhaust too! How we never bent rods I'll never know, but the old Holden and Land Rover, and on one occasion a 3.5 RV8, all responded well.
One of the reasons steam works so well as a cylinder cleaner is due to its expansion (which is why steam engines work, and why boiler explosions are so devastating). 1 unit of water at 100C expands to 1,700 (near enough) units of steam at 100C. Of course, as it usually finds its way in with the fuel, effectively replacing a portion of the fuel, you end up with pretty poor combustion as we all know. But, introducing it via the air intake, in small amounts, does a wonderful decarb as noted above.
Personally I find a bottle of snake oil works just as well.
If you go into the BeCM settings with a Nano, you can disable the sunroof so the message will disappear.
….. and I know it is too late, but Tornado is a source of ECUs. I bought on off them last year.
Except that Mark is going to check out the ECU before he does anything to it.
I'll get a photo for you. I bought a NOS one a year ago so it is spring loaded and works as it should.
I bought it of a mob in Melbourne. It was advertised as including shipping. After I paid for it, they contacted me and said I had to pay for shipping, I declined, they refunded me and re advertised it, again and again, and again, getting cheaper all the time. When I finally bought it three months later, the price, with the new added shipping was 20% less than the original price I paid three months previously.
How will you get around the security issue or can you do a security learn with the Bosch ECU?
I found a NOS under bonnet sound mat, so rather than see it go to waste, I replaced the one on the truck for the new one. Sending off the old one to be fitted in the parts truck (see signature!).
Handy is you never use them! 🤣
Easiest way to remember how a serpentine belt goes (any serpentine belt) is if the pulley has grooves, the grooved side of the belt goes to it. If the pulley is flat, the flat side of the belt goes to it. Start at the bottom of the crankshaft pulley and work your way around.
