EDIT: Ignore the below if you wish, this is for my D2. I assuemed frrom the pic that this was the car you put it on. I know very little about D3s.. I should have noticed "amber light on dash" D2s don't have that! I have to admit that my cruise...

PS, looks like a lot of fun!!:):):)

Aha! That makes much more sense!!;)

100% valid point however i also travel to continental europe or africa and there cruise control is very convenient. This a photo from my latest adventure in the sahara :D

Final update. After a few weeks of motoring I cannot detect any difference in handling between the original ACE system on my D2 and the now inert roll bars fitted. So job done and highly recommended to other in the same situation.

BTW my repairs worked out slightly cheaper than a delete kit EXCEPT I bought a brand new rear ARB because it was cheap, rude not to.

I’ve been saying this for years. I simply can’t understand why people are advised to throw money away on maintaining or repairing ACE, when there is a cheap and very proficient work around. ACE is a very good system, but this or standard ARB’s...

Just a bit of a side issue.... Knowing how small and overpopulated Malta is, I a wondering what you need it for. I use mine on motorways mostly for comfort's sake, and N roads, (the equivalent of A roads) to avoid getting tickets, and...

Still on Auto ECU, just change settings in Nanocom from auto to manual but that’s in BCU as far as I know. Okay I will record it next time I drive. Thanks a lot. Okay will check it, thanks a lot. Okay first I will check via Nanocom voltages...

2001 TD5 I had years ago, the throttle pedal tracks wore out on one side. New to me 2nd hand pedal assy sorted it.

Sounds like a plan, either small file and file a tiny flat middle of needle or you can use Brasso to remove tiny amounts off till you get an improvement, could be lean at top end though and rich lower down, that would give black plugs if you're...

WHY!!!!???? Simply weaken the mixture at the jet, by winding the jet up a lickle bit?? Going back to a needle that didn't work in the first place won't help, and filing anything off anywhere will simply richen the mixture at that point...

But the switch to BP5ES plugs has not resolved the sooting up problem. Which means it is probably running too rich for them too.

It's not the plugs, it's either burning oil or tooooo rich

Yea, I'm still looking at the grass from above 😁

Is that cos he’s deaded?

Plant pots is ideal for weeds to grow. Only way to deal with them is to pull them out when they appear. (In my opinion of course, I ain't Percy Thrower).

Mornin Warm but dull for now Had to put canes up as sunflowers are now at about 3 feet and I expect em to get much higher. Putting some steak in slow cooker for tonight Stay cool all :)

You can get all sorts of weed preventing materials some of which come in circles with a slot cut in to go around your plants. W uses them for the strawbs in her raised beds. They have copper woven into them...

Friend of mine used to use carpet underlay, think the stones idea was to keep snails off but different people give different answers :)

Morning All. :D A pretty rubbish night. Hosp called at 1:39 to say the old gal was fading again. :( A lovely day here. :) Have a good day. :D

Wot does we fink about mulch for covering soil in me plants pots? Is small stones a betterer option to stop weeds growing in em.

Launch ov stage 2 ov freelander development included seats and suspension.

OK, the old gal has rallied a bit, still very much "on the edge" but we will see what happens overnight. Wife is expecting a similar scenario tomorrow. :(

Wife is there with the MIL, as are 2 grandchildren. Her Son (who was told first) had not yet put in an appearance. :( He is closer to the hospital than we are , so I am baffled.

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

If it will run on MAF cleaner. or eazistart type stuff, then I don't think it can be electrics other than those that run the fuel supply/injection system and timing. But that does involve battery poswer while cranking. I say again, get it on a...

I didn't even get the jump leads off before she shut off. realized now that the soot was in fact oil and think it's coming from the crankcase breather. I'll see if I can track down a nanocom to see what she says. thanks for the advice. im...
