Just to be contrary, my Audi heater core works fine - even plumbed in parallel.
Of course it'll explode now I've mentioned it.

Yeah the cup one is a bit pants. Very French :)

Does anyone else see ACME filler and have to go Meep Meep?

Just me then?

I'll get my coat...

Late March works for me as it's the end of my Holiday year... I doubt it'll be sun tan weather like it was for the headlinings!

So I guess we need to think of a date :)

I could offer you a room on the way back if that helps? Malton, YO17

Swindon, where are you? :)

I've used Lemforder since I realised they were the OEM manufacturer for BMW bits when I was keeping E30s on the road.

I'm thinking we might need quite a few sets of Axle Stands too!
I've got 2x2 ton Draper ones.
I guess we'd ideally need 4 per Rover if we're dropping both axles at once. Or an old Disco to use as a stand :)

That would be really helpful! thank you :)

and I've just noticed Sloth's post saying that Marty has the correct tools. Wow -- I didn't realise. Awesome :)

Well, I'm sorry we're too late for Dave3d, but it looks like we've got three to go at already. I don't know if Marty needs any done himself...

Marty and I had a textathon last night to work out whether it would be a good idea to have a "Camp" again, but with the aim of replacing Radius Arm Bushes on our P38s.
Marty is happy to host us at his workshop again, which is very generous and is a better option than my house because he has a press (essential) and some air tools (probably very useful).

The proposal would be to find a date in March/April when we could do a two day weekend and plan to get everyone's bushes changed by Sunday afternoon. Whether that would be done as an end to end job or a production line like the Headliners we can discuss later.

We reckon on everyone buying and bringing their own parts, including new bolts etc so that we don't have any emergency parts runs on a Sunday! And pooling whatever tools and expertise we can to make the process as slick as possible. Hopefully the hopeless folks like me will learn some skills too.

I guess the first question is: Who would be interested in changing their Radius Arm Bushes?
and the second one: Exactly what parts and tools do we need to achieve this?

As you know, I'm not a mechanic so I'm really just throwing this out to the experts while offering to help, cook and gofer in exchange for getting my bushes changed with everyone elses. I'm keen to get underneath and wield an airgun though, that sounds like fun :)
As I understand it, the struggle is taking the arms off rather than putting it all back together so we should be able to avoid having lots of Range Rovers in bits on the Sunday afternoon :)

So what do you guys think? Is anyone interested?

:( Ferryman was a nice guy. I missed him from the forum.

Well I bet he was soon thrown out of the Magic Circle!! :)

GDPR certainly is designed to stop the likes of FarceCrook, Sploogle, Crapple et al from spreading our personal data around the globe but it's also aimed at everyone else from the public sector to "marketing database" sales types.

I think it is well inentioned but when bureaucrats start planning perfection, the best you can hope for is Milton Keynes :(

Yes, a Valet key sounds ideal as a stopgap.

LR do supply them - I got a quote for £320 IIRC. I could hear the "hah, fuck you - peasant" attitude oozing out of the guy and down the phone.

I have one fully functioning fob and the prospect of losing or damaging is just a little scary. Sadly I never seem to have a spare £300 lying around....
If you are going to be able to create a functioning 3rd party fob that would clone the existing key I'd definitely be in the market.
If you could code it as a different numbered fob for the memory seats that would be even more amazing!

I think you need to add big arrows for the hard of understanding. Like me!

Even if I choose to publish my birthday on the face of the moon, it remains personal data. No-one else has the right to publish that data unless they are able to prove a lawful basis for doing so.

To be clear, I have no objection to the way Gordon runs this site. I just pointed out that GDPR applies here in case he ends up in a tangle in the future.

On the CC'd email point, assuming that you have not consented to your email address being shared with other members of the list, that's a textbook case of a data breach. This means that the data processor has not taken sufficient care to ensure the correct technical and organisational procedures are in place to guarantee data security under the 7th principle of GDPR and arguably they've failed to uphold the first principle (fair and lawful processing) as well. Go gettum :)

I do, but I'd rather not post up too much publicly. Feel free to PM me if you want - I can try and assist.

Programming other keys to the BECM requires a) the BECM to be in an unlocked state and b) to know the fob code of the remote lockset you wish to programme in.

Unlocking the BECM needs a Faultmate and the SM035 module. This requires a direct connection to the MCU in the BECM, via soldered on leads to the logic board.

Sloth, does this mean you could theoretically program a fob from a scrapper to work with any BeCM? If so, is it a service you could offer? I can offer you first place in future burger queues :)

Hate to say it Gordon but GDPR applies to any personal information processed outside home use (Christmas card lists, personal social media, household gadgets etc)

Being non-profit doesn't create an exemption.
