I agree but the mrs uses it more with the kids and it wont stay as clean unless l keep up with the cleaning. I run a garage too n it gets used to ferry parts and recover vehicles :eek:
Yes it recovers ltalian cars:)

It does - I can leave my car in a busy airport car park for weeks, under mobile phone masts - whatever - no battery drain whatsoever - sorted! When I first got it the battery would drain even with daily use.

Cool beans. All I have to do next is fix the glow plugs and I have a perfectly functional RR again. It'll be nice not having to worry about charge all of the time, even with a huge solar charger a week would be enough that it laboured to start. With the days getting shorter it'd be impossible.
 
Well, figured I'd fix the heated seats.. got as far as having it sitting with me here in the room but I couldn't part the back from the base... so it went back in the car and I bypassed the cushion heater so at least we have warm backs!

No need to part the back from the base or even take the seat out of the car if it's a P38.:)
 
Yeah, was just gonna solder in a patch. Couldn't figure out a safeish way to remove the skins without removal tho?
 
Swapped cat section for a new one seeing as the 'rattles some times' description by the seller translated to ' has been blown to bits'.
Swapped 1 pollen filter; second on tomorrow when the supplier gets it in.
Alternator to go on tomorrow.
What my RR did to me today? Sheared off an exhaust stud with careless abandon; took the skin off 2 knuckles; made me lay in an ever-increasing puddle of rain water; snapped an M10 tap; made me prove I can carry out passable welding jobs; made me smile.:)
 
Had a near miss (breakdown wise!) Picked the brat up from nursery (yeah I know grave dodger dad!) and when I turned the ignition - nothing. No power to instruments etc - when I popped the bonnet I found the positive clamp was loose - I'm, a) lucky the car unlocked as I superlocked it due to have rather expensive IT gear in the back and b) lucky it didn't lose sync or some crap like that! Popped the clamp back on - gave it a tweak - reset all the windows and sunroof and was back on my merry way. Phew!

God you had done the hard bit. From memory (ha ha )seat rake adjuster wheel and plastic trim's off (Phillips screw's?) exposing two torx bolt's. Undo them and you have two bit's:)

It was the torx bits on either side. 2 at each join in the bracket. I couldn't get them to budge at all!

You will have a very warm back considering the thermostat for both is in the cushion element.
 
Changed engine oil on the l322 td6 at 175k
Just have seat belts to fit on the p38 seven seat conversion
