Not only is RRPub a new site but the forum software that runs it is under active development. It looks pretty good but it has a few oddities and outright bugs, and there are some little tweaks and things needed to make it all look right too.
If you find any new exciting faults or you've got some feature you just can't live without, post it here and I'll see what I can do :-)
If I recall correctly they have a short "pigtail" with a multipin plug on the end. I'm pretty sure the locks are mechanically identical - maybe an adaptor cable could be made up?
I re-gapped my plugs the other day, to 0.7mm since I'm running on LPG. When I fitted them not long after I got the vehicle I left them at the standard 0.9mm, and I didn't really think that closing them up by a tiny fraction like that would help.
It's made a hell of a difference. I could hear straight away that it was idling better, and while the massive flat spot is still there between 2000 and 3000rpm on both petrol and LPG, it's a lot less pronounced. Definitely something worth checking.
Looks good! I could do with a set of front door latches for mine. The actual latches and switches are okay but the lock motors have packed in - they will only start and run if they're at exactly the right position of rotation when you power them up.
It uses markdown rather than BBcode, but I'll look into it. It's fairly easy to get your head around Markdown.
I'm going to stick together a more comprehensive set of instructions. One thing to bear in mind is that the forum hasn't got a way to upload pictures (yet), but you can whang in a link to imgur or something similar.
And now it accepts unicode as well so you can talk about brake pads being £10 and sticking a 2200μF capacitor across the power rails to smooth noise out of the radio and stuff without it crashing.
Good to see you on :-)
Gilbertd - that's a theming issue, I'm going to tweak how things look a bit in the next few days
Martyuk - all the text boxes take HTML tags (or at least a limited subset of them) as well as normal markdown formatting. If you put two blank lines you get something like:
A bit of text on a line
A bit of text on the next line with a gap
but if you want to have a line break without the gap you'd do:
A bit of text on a line<br/>
A bit of text on a line without a gapand get how you see it in my signature.
Not sure, which text? Which browser are you using? I think the text sizes in the forum default theme are a bit all over the place, myself.
Click on the little "down arrow" beside your name at the top, and you'll see a Settings option.
If JLR want me to take it down, I'll take it down. They only have to ask, politely. Until they do, I will leave it up there.
Nothing is ever truly gone from the Internet.
I've found a bug in the forum software - if you enter any "foreign" characters, then it will drop its guts spectacularly. Gilbertd has already broken it a few times by typing a pound sign in a post :-D
So - no pounds, accented characters or other unicode tomfoolery for now, okay?
I've just ordered a pair of Osram Nightbreakers from Amzn so we'll see how they work out....
"Without" risking blowing stuff up, surely?
I have noticed that while the main beam lights are bloody bright the dips leave a bit to be desired.
I'm Gordon, I chucked this thing up after a bit of discussion with a couple of other UK-based RR owners.
I've got an R-reg P38 (see, we can say "R-reg" here) with a GEMS 4.0 running on LPG. That's actually it in the banner picture (note to future gordonjcp - when the picture changes edit this) when I was out playing at the Cambusbarron military driving area.
Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see on here. Keep it friendly, don't be a dick, in fact act like you would in your local, or your mate's garage.
