Rejoice! I ordered 8mm single ply and lo - it hath arrived.
I guess that means it's in stock if you need some...or they've got a new kid in the warehouse.

Probably round the edge of the door - there's quite a bit of space but the door tops are also deeper than most so it's hard to get round them without bending them out.

Fantastic :) I don't think you've done the driver's door. I'll be in touch re dates, it might work out or I might just make a road trip anyway. It'd be good to meet up again :)

There was ice on the windows, but what the humidity was like in the engine bay... dunno!

It was -1 degrees this morning and she started like a champ.
I'm not sure if I'm pleased or not! :)

I checked the Nano - P0134 Lamda Sensor Upstream Catalyst BAnk1 Drive Cycle C. Occurred 1 time. Signal Invalid. Fault is not currently present.
I cleared it, but if it happens once in a couple of weeks...
I also did a quick clip of it starting, of course it was fine because it had been started already today. It seem to have to be really cold/a long time since the last start before it makes a difference.

Well I think the

I wonder if your key in switch is working properly...

You shouldn't be able to "slam lock" a P38 from about 96 onwards... If you've hit the sill lock button and closed the door, it should always unlock all the doors automatically... Especially if the key is detected as being in the ignition... Definitely something strange going on there

I think it's the door open switch (or whatever the correct name is). It was frosty this morning so I started the car and started scraping the windows. Not wanting to get locked out I left the window open AND the door :) I was suprised to see the windows rise up as I was scraping them - the EAS was doing its thing even with the door open. Yep, no Door Open RH-F showing on the dash. It seems the door is showing closed all the time.

So if you're working under the car and using the door/tailgate open technique to disable the EAS I'd say it's well worth checking the dash before you crawl underneath!

The last fault I saw on the Nano was to do with a low voltage on a serial bus (or similar). I'm afraid I just wiped and carried on because I was late for work. Now I know it'll start eventually I'll take down the details if it comes back but I didn't think it was related at the time.
Bad technique, I know :(

I'm putting this under Electrickery but it's just a guess...

Recently, with the colder weather, the Duchess has decided to be a little bitch to start when cold. She used to start absolutely immediately, hot or cold, but now she can take repeated attempts to start. The starter/battery seem perfectly healthy and the engine cranks over nice and quickly. Eventually she'll start on a few cylinders and then the rest cut in over 2-3 seconds.
Where should I start looking?

Is there any point in getting one if you already have a Gen3? Not that I've checked yet, just curious :)

Heater cores are always buried in the dash and dashboards are always tedious to remove :(
When I rule the world, all cars will have maintenance hatches for any component that isn't guaranteed for the life of the owner!

So Jennifer Anniston had your car? Wow, check for ginger hair, that stuff lives for ever! :)

Looks like fun :) As long as there's bacon sarnies I'm in :)

I've used bicycle chain lube for door locks in the past with good results but I'm changing over to graphite in the future - dry lube seems like the way to avoid frozen locks.

Sadly it was Orangebean who is no long with us.

Yes but the UK changed over to metric - the yanks didn't. Or not officially. So I'm confused as to why an American car built in the US with an American engine still uses metric stuff all over the place. The gearbox I could understand as its an AW4 (joint project between Borg Warner and Aisin Seiko) but I don't take that apart so I don't know if it's metric or not.

I have a Jeep that uses both Imperial and Metric nuts/bolts. I still can't figure that one out!

Well, I'll be heading down to Dorset again in January, maybe I could drop by Swindon on the way back and buy you a beer? :)
I'll be packing a spare compressor....hehehe

That's a damn good idea!

I cooked a steak when I got in :)
