Yes - the pics show nice shiny new drop-links. You thought you were asking a daft question - and you got a daft answer. :rolleyes: What I said in post 2 still holds good though - replace both trackrod ends. Even with counting threads and all those sort of dodges, you really need to get...

Lefts and rights are always from the drivers point of view - sitting behind the wheel. ;) Surely you need to replace the pair - as I can't see how one side can be that much worn than the other. :confused:

If you get the MAF connector (white dot) the wrong way round it runs the same as disconnecting the MAF - goes like hell but eats fuel. If you get the fuel connector the wrong way round the engine will run like a bag of bolts (if it even starts) and the Engine Management Light will come on...

Should be - the usual reason for it is switching on the rear wiper when the back window in frozen and the wiper stuck on the rubber. If you have the front wipers on the rear comes on automatically if you select reverse, which catches people out.

It's a 16GB card - but you don't get any card with it - not at that price. Like any other digital camera it can take single pictures too. Of course the default setting is video. There are the usual different quality settings so the higher quality give less recording time. The clip I...

If a turbo-hose goes you usually get a roaring noise and loads of black smoke under load. Worth a check though.

No change needed - the BMW M47R is not prone to chain problems unlike some others.

I tried loads of places - motor factors etc - but in the end I just had to buy it from the local LR parts dept.

Do you have the temperature sensor in the short turbo pipe? I had it go faulty and gave the same symptoms you describe except no yellow warning light I thought it was only a bad connection as 'jiggling' it worked a few times. £20 or so for a replacement and the problem never came back.

No, no - I was driving on the 'right' side of the road - like everyone else in the Austrian Alps. LOL ;) You'll see that the clip was 2 minutes long - the camera records in 2 minute clips, continuously. When the memory card is full it continues to record but automatically erases the oldest...

I have one similar to this: 2.5" LCD Screen Night Vision IR Car Camera Driving Recorder HD DVR UK | eBay Not 'state of the art' at £19.99 but it's perfect for my needs. It was a present from a very good friend - here's a clip of what it can do - the microphone was off that day, and I...

I get the impression this is a failed rich man's project. So successful it was left in the corner of the shed for 3 years! I don't think you could enter this thing in any normal UK or European rally. It doesn't fit in any group I know off. It says it raced in Iceland - they are uniquely...

With a blue badge you shouldn't have to pay for parking at all - and definitely not at a hospital. Not wanting to sound at all nationalistic, but at least the Scottish Government did away with all hospital parking charges - staff, patients, visitors - the lot. And toll bridges. What a...

Not difficult at all Gary. If you're going to change the pads then you will be half way there as there's only one additional bolt to remove to get the caliper completely off. The disc itself is held on by 2 big screws. Best to give all the bolts and screws a good squirt of penetrating...

Yup - but depends how much you mean by complete. New discs, pads and a couple of pipes at the front. New shoes, cylinders and a pipe at the rear. Sticky pistons cleaned and refitted in both front calipers. Had a sod of a job adjusting the Mintex linings so's not to 'grab' with the...

It can be anything from 30 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes.

Check for a drink called 'Fortisip' - a special high nutrition drink - you can get them on prescription or at any chemist. My dad has 4 a day because he was off normal food and was losing weight rapidly. Lots of different flavours too. As for hygiene wipes - you could try Andrex kids moist ones...

Hmmmm ..... interesting!

Good on yer mate. We need more enthusiastic owners like you. As you've found - if you need questions answered - ask on here. SV. :cool:

Morning Gary, Good to hear that Senga is at home for a couple of weeks. You were right to complain to the ward sister and the consultant. Most of the regular nurses are truly 'overworked and underpaid' but there is absolutely no excuse for not paying attention and missing things like...
