What did you do with your Range Rover today

Gord Wedman said:

Cruise control cam is on bulkhead side for Thor as well. The cams both look the same to me and not round.

its only a subtle difference, you'd have to take the cables off and have a good look. if i recall, it was to increase pedal control in low range

Is this any help ? Picture found on https://classicsworld.co.uk/cars/road-test-range-rover-vogue-se/

Shows the cruise cable to front, although no guarantees it's correct..

Am i right in saying the accelerator cam isn't round, but the cruise cam is?

Not sure - this is the best I can find in my photos so far, but they look to have different stop points . radii - maybe because with cruise only engaging above 30ish mph the throttle will already be open a bit?
Can't go and look, he's got his heavy cover on and it is very gusty out there today too.

You know, when the whole world seems to be going to pot the banter on here really helps.

Of course I put Otto back together as he was when we took him apart - it would be possible for someone to have previously reversed the cables and me not know.

Just looked at RAVE. Yes - they have at some point been reversed.
Both engines, throttle is bulkhead side, cruise is radiator side.
Adjuster for throttle sits towards the wing side of the bracket on the GEMS, cruise adjuster sits on the engine side.

Done it. The three switch pack doesn't exist, so new single switches soldered in .. nope

No, the cruise is towards the bulkhead, at least in my 99 NA car. Look at the photos. Zoom in. I am pulling on the cruise control cable and the cam that is raised is the one nearest the bulkhead.

Unbuttoned him a bit a few days ago, enough to empty the dehumidifier and put the protected new exhaust bits in him. Buttoned him back up under his cover until the garage can fit the bits.

Fitted new internal chrome door handles as the one on the drivers side the return spring had snapped, and it was always sticking out. Was just going to replace the broken one but they wanted £20 for one black one or £40 for a set of 4 chrome on the bay of flea.

I have been driving mine round the last two days as the work van decided to start cutting out as if the key had been turned of and on so cant trust it especially on a motorway

Crank sensor?

I have not looked yet and its to wet to start crawling under it, not a bad shout i have a spare so will swap it out, all i need to do is get it running ok so i can sell it as we have decided a newer ulez compliant van is required, i have had it 13 years so about time new van should see me till retirement

Nuffin interesting, repaired the N/S indicator latch that holds the unit in place and fitted new microswitches to my spare door lock.

My brother and I replaced the front rotors and pads on my 2008 L322 SC. Two hours work from getting out the tools to putting them away. Pretty straightforward job except we had to use a 3 jaw puller to get one of the rotors off. Using Pagid rotors and Bosch pads. Will see how they work out. Purchased from Rock Auto for $300 CAD. Plus taxes and shipping a total of $360. They shipped the rotors the same day I ordered them. Pads took longer to arrive. Going to do the rear tomorrow if not raining too hard.
God save the King.

Nice long drive again today. Big jump in mpg, last run was 30 on the dash, this time 36, same route, same speed, same load.. is it getting better for a few long runs, or is that summer diesel? It's a big jump!! Not done a brim to brim recently but assume the dash would be consistent, regardless of accuracy

The auto mode on the heater is consistently crap anorl

Think my battery is goosed. Unlocked, opened up, voltage was 12.0v that's without turning ignition on.
That's after a couple of full charges off a charger and a few hours driving
