    You really do not want to hit a wall doing 150 ks - it would make a right mess.

    Looks like wrong pads. In which case the anti-squeal spring is either missing or can’t work properly. (I’ve always called these longish flat spring things anti-squeal springs, could be wrong). No point in not replacing the disks as they will...

    Or in that case, a parking space near the entrance quite likely.

    While I was charging a guy pulled up in a PHEV and plugged in. Why anyone would charge a PHEV on Supermarket leccy at 45p per kWh beats me as it's probably cheaper to use petrol. Maybe it was just to get a parking space like GG suggested above.

    I take constant breaks from it but I enjoy playing with this kind of stuff and get a real kick from overcoming problems. When I'm not working full time it gives me something to do that is NOT housework. ;)

    ok so I collected my fl2 on Wednesday and have been running around in it and here is my initial thoughts... Fl2 is a nicer ride for our crap roads. Fl2 is slower than the x5 40d obviously Engine is louder in side cabin X5 handles better on...

    The clip that hold the battery in the fob can break away from the PCB when you change the battery. Its happened to mine twice. Can result in a random connection of the battery, so sometimes will work, others not. Need to get the clip soldered...

    Well done for getting it sorted. As a matter of interest, can you buy the sockets those chargers plug in to? Might stick 1 on the side of my Freelanders so I can plug a charger in and make it look like its charging. Quite often the charging...

    So after a couple of weeks procrastinating I finally made time to try and figure out how to make the charger work at a commercial EVSE which the setup above failed to achieve. It works great at home but commercial chargers require a low...

    Didn’t notice that at the time… both front sensors have 0 DC, but both rears have ~2.4… 🤔 Maybe try Nodge’s suggestion with a multimeter on the fronts first

    1.7kph when stationary is normal. I think that this is the "slowest" speed that it can sense. The diagnostic protocol gets cut off above a certain speed, for "health and safety" reasons. The ABS is not actually functioning when the diagnostic...

    I'm pretty sure the Amigo lamps on the dash are powered by wires coming from the Wabco ecu... So if they are lit, it is because these pins have been powered by the Wabco ecu. Strange there are no error codes in it. When HDC is selected, the...
