I'd love to have a go in a Tesla and try their autopilot out. Personally, I can't wait for fully autonomous cars but I want the version that allows you to drive the fun bits and fall asleep on the motorway. Sadly it looks like the car industry wants to only produce autonomous vehicles without any controls at all :(
It's a godsend in those endless 50mph limits with speed averaging cameras. Pretty good in France too because the autoroutes are so empty.
Hmpf. Mine stopped working again on the way back from Summer camp 17 one year after Gilbert fixed it at Summer camp 16.
I'm not built for gymnastics either!
You really need to leave off the LPG until you've got the idle/misfire sorted on Petrol. Random fuelling isn't good for engines!
That's an excellent average MPG - well done :)
I'm happier with computers than spanners :)
WJ Overland? I looked at some of those but ended up with a P38 :) nice motors but I couldn't find a nice one, if you see what I mean.
I think Simon has some relevant advice on fuelling the midrange on those, or was it something to do with PRINS? Anyway, I'm sure he'll be back :)
Either way, OBD doesn't add much to LPG installs for reasons that have been explained a few times on the LPG forum, but boil down to lag. If the Petrol system makes a change to cope with a transient condition the LPG will then try to correct itself as well but the conditions will have changed so it ends up chasing the needle.
If I were you I'd get a cheapo Bluetooth OBD adaptor and the paid version of Torque for your phone. You'll have a readout of your ST/LT trims really quickly with the minimum messing about.
We're working on that :)
There will be a trip to the Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge at some point, just trying to settle on an evening.
Can any of the others squirt the EKA direct to the BECM? cos the sweet sweet clunk of the locks firing the door pins up followed by the engine starting on the button was worth £300 of anyone's money!
(My P38 was stuck in a local garage with EKA lockout and a dodgy door microswitches)
Or just adjust the tyre pressures until it's sitting level!
(I'll get my coat)
but but... why not use manifold vacuum? It's free!
Rover must have had a spare committee or something

Depends. How long is this race, and is refuelling allowed? :P
A V8 with LPG might just have a longer range if both tanks are brimmed... but I'd also like to be able to afford certain luxuries, like food!
What is the range of a petrol 4.6? I don't think I've ever brimmed the tank on The Duchess - the furthest she went on Petrol with me was when we picked her up from Bradford, or maybe the trip to Simon's for the LPG conversion.
I take it back - I'd got the wrong entrance, but there's a permanent TRO on that route (Hambleton Drove Road). Seems there was 500km of RUPP in the North Yorkshire Moors but now there's only about 3km of BOAT that are still open.
Grrrrr. There's a clearly marked BOAT on the definitive map which has a locked gate across one end courtesy of the Forestry Commission.
OK, the North Yorkshire Definitive Map is... DRUMROLL

Sadly there's very little in the way of Green Lanes on it.
Actually there's a couple within striking distance, but one of them is so mild the Google Maps car made it all the way!
Wow, there's a battery cover? I was chuffed to have a battery clamp/strap.
My Jeep makes do with a natty piece of angle iron!
We are, eventually, going to meet up and put my nanocom on his P38 but until the moon, stars and several planet align (or we get to the end of the events season at work and I have some weekends to myself again) I think is a long way off.
What a very smart young subaltern you were :)
Smarter than me, that's for sure - but it looks like we shared the kit packing skills!
tbh, I probably would take the Jeep because it fits down smaller lanes.
It seems that there has been quite a lot of rule tightening recently and it's pretty hard to get offroad in the UK if you don't own a farm or a forest.
http://allterrainuk.com/ £25 to join, not a lot of info. Has anyone any experience?
I've never done any green laning (just one go in a Pay and Play place near Robin Hood's Bay) although I'd like to give it a try. The thing that holds me back is the worry that I'll end up trespassing, ignoring a TRO or basically pissing off a lot of people without knowing where I stand. Does anyone know much about it or know of any groups that are worth joining? I'm not really interested in discussing which type of Defender differential has the best pinions, just would like to get our and enjoy some countryside in confidence I'm not going to get arrested!
