I have since bought a cheap metal detector. It has found quite a few bits and pieces and only take s a few minutes to assemble. But of course it is also better if I put a big tarp down under the vehicle.

Should have used a magnetic rake 🙄

.... lost my locking wheel nut socket thing on my gravel drive, big gravel so made it worse. I raked the gravel all over and back sifted through it, nowt. About 3 years later I was doing a job on the same car and looked around, there it was...

Is that some homophobia I detect?

Especially if it's had water leaking into the steering wheel from the windscreen or body seam above😳

Correct. I misunderstood the OPs request. I 'think' les Edwards at classic rides fiddles with oe radios a bit.

I spent 30 odd years doing diagnostics on euro crap and none of that covered everything either regardless of cost! I always swore not to own something I have to plug in to fix but here we are (doh!)

Nanocom for diagnostic.

I am sure this will be no surprise but I seem to have random volume control on stereo from either unit dial or steering wheel controls but not necessarily the same result from both! The sat nav has a mind of it's own but at least the hvac seems...

And never be your own customer!

We say "it's doing it's job" 👍

I may have accidentally added flappy paddles to the TD6. Bit time consuming but not difficult and is definitely a nice addition. Its one thing I missed compared to my other car. Occasionally having a semi manual control over the box is a good...

I just use the gear lever on the P38 like it's a manual

I learnt the hard way to never say where she can hear you that she's been good lately.... 😂😂

Cubby box is in, tightenedbthe thread rivets a little bit better, now you can lift the car on the box! Looks nice, if you ask me!

Don't give other parts to replace!!!! 😉 Just finished to put the cubby box in, looks good with the matching front seats, well it will once I removed all the bits and pieces on the seats! Not bad for a lunch break. Dashboard removal next, after...

If you want to maintain a speed you put you foot down a bit, not change down a gear because you are within the design torque curve of the car to maintain. If you ask for to much more torque in an auto it will change down a gear, you won’t...

Do not forget to notify your insurers of your non homologated modification. Insurers just love mods they have not been advised about because in the event of an accident it lets them off the hook.

Do you reckon OP will be wearing Lycra while doing this? Might help his crazy diff change idea

You forgot skin tight Lycra. Plus on a bike you don’t stop for traffic lights

Its like riding a bike, tall gears are more difficult to pedal, you have find the easiest gear to maintain speed without too much effort, all depends on hills, wind and energy.

Not the reason, do you have the final drive overall ratio? Thats not what he said. anybody with a technical knowledge would know that. That is correct. But the brick needs to be pushed through the air at a speed that suits you,you move the...

If you use just the rocker switch on its own you can only choose elevated, normal or access height. Pressing the lock ride height button first will then allow the highway ride height to be selectable.

Never count the expense unless it's a clients😜

Ah, the yet unwritten future! Did I think about that the last days, or rather weeks! Anyway, the plans changed, mainly due to budget and credit card limits. First, things that didn't change: She will be used for a one week trip to Corsica to...

Press the lock height button then with this done, press down on the rocker button and it’ll go to m/way height instead of access height. Pressing again will put you down to access height. While the lock height switch is pressed it will remain...

many thanks for a quick answer I will try that as using the rocker switch on its own wouldn't pick motorway height although you probably knew that! I have so much to learn.

been there done that spent 3 days looking for it, found it 4 years later still stuck under a hose along with a 10mm socket i lost the year before
