    Lower oil pressure too though and water pump will be spinning slower. It may actually be better to rev at 1300 rather than 1100?

    Might actually increase fuel consumption because even though the revs are lower, the engine may be working harder to maintain speed.

    Best fuel economy is at max torque. Guessing on the petrol that's about 3000 rpm? I'd leave it as it is. I'd also guess that given most fuel economy figures are quoted at 56 mph (80 kph) then that's probably what it has been tuned to do best...

    Those Wildtracks are pretty good. One at work was twin - turbo with 10 speed automatic and I think it had low range too. Pretty sure it was usually 2H but also had 4H and then 4L on a knob near the gear selector. Towed with it a few times and it...

    Have you checked that you have not nudged the the dash dimming button, you would not be the first to have done it and stipped bits apart before finding out.

    GEMS is rolling code. Not convinced the Thor is but never played with one. I also don't know if it just sends the code to start or whether it continually sends it. Both strategies were used on the diesel depending on the year. Marty scratched...

    Check the aircon drains are clear. Coolant or water coming out? If coolant then either heater-matrix o-rings or possibly the heater-matrix itself has failed.

    Surely if you turn the harness upside-down you get the mirror of it? Although I guess not everything is mirrored on the LHD?

    Simple bluetooth OBD reader combined with Torque app should allow you to see all readings on a Thor engine. EDIT: iPhones don't like Bluetooth. Nanocom tends to interrogate each chip separately hence the weird grouping sometimes.

    Semicolon is the European default. Makes sense really as they use commas instead of decimal points and that would mess up the number of columns. In Excel just highlight the column and then ALT, D, E. (Text to colunns on menu).

    A pressure tester usually won't allow bypass like that. Assuming that's what's meant by pressurising the system

    Pressurise enough and it will blow coolant out the overflow which goes to the side and then underneath and then drips down the wing.
