That could have unintended consequences

Got her a pressie, to help her issues from feeling underworked https://www.topdon.com/products/jumpsurge2000

Pulled the trailer out with mine and put it back to bed.

Tried it out tonight. She would've started without it as went for a run yesterday. But air suspension being a pain. Attached just to see. Resolved the air suspension hissy fit
Lambing about to start so hissy fits would normally be many. that this helps her.

Heater worked again today, that's twice in one week!! The L322 is lovely when it's at a stable temp!!

Quick question for anyone that drives hgv.. are you hours a hard cut off? Ie if you're unexpectedly stuck in traffic for an hour, do you have to say oh look.. 3pm I've got to stop right now?
Always thought you had leeway to get to somewhere safe eg services if you're on the motorway

There is some leeway, mate drives hgv and I asked him a good while ago but I glazed over a bit and can't remember exactly what.

I have LGV on my licence and have driven 7.5 tonne trucks commercially. It's never happened to me, but the tachograph will show clearly if you have been stuck in traffic past your cutoff time, in which case I would expect plod to accept that there was no alternative for the driver but to continue to a safe stopping place.

And my heater was working!!! Wipers even worked for a while

The Cat & Fiddle…one of the best roads in Britain in my opinion, even in the snow. How I miss living in Congleton.

Not any more. The road was rough!! No way I'd take my bike there in the current state!! More like a farm track in places

Sad to hear, still good excuse to go in the Range.

New subject, NSR Brake Calliper binding, as if I didn’t have enough to do. This is the third seized brake on our cars, it’s a conspiracy. Still chance to spend the afternoon outside.

Spent half an hour fitting the 'removable' towbar. The joys of rust

Changed a split EGR pipe on our most recent 'financial mistake'. My brother and I bought a 2010 L320 RRS with a "Restricted Performance" fault. Owner was selling cheap and fully disclosed the issue so we thought "How hard can it be?"
Previous owner was quoted about £60 for the part and £2k to do the job! I can confirm that it is a very fiddly job to do but was worth the effort. Lower rear EGR pipe had split:




The worst part was when I looked at the front coolant hose from the EGR and thought to myself "DO NOT GET DISTRACTED AND FORGET TO CONNECT THAT!" Then I was offered a cup of tea.

This is taking a lot of coolant to refill the system....
Dammit!



It's all up and running again now and time to work through some of the other (but thankfully smaller) issues.

Take it you are in the car?
Around the steering column somewhere I think.

That's what i thought. It's not working.. wonder if the fob is dead? Got a lift home to get other fob

You can get away with safe parking about 10 mins but you still get infringement and most companies don’t approve you shouldn’t drive to nearly your shift times

Oh dear.
U201F - external receiver communication has been lost.

I've checked fuse 1 and fuse 17 in the glove box, both fine. Not doing anymore now.

Any other ideas? Anyone know where the RF module is? Or any other fuses i should check?

I think the rf module is the white box near the rear wiper motor

I'll check it tomorrow
