Mine looks better. 🤣 This arrived today It's called a Zombieverter VCU, designed by Damien Maguire and manufactured by JLC PCB. I thought I may have a few IC's to solder on but it seems to be complete, apart from headers for the Wemos WiFi Module and the main connectors which are winging...

My ac charger is in the old fuel filler hole. It gets used frequently and fits nicely so I'll keep it there. I've already made a bracket for the Chademo socket to bolt it to the inverter. Just needs a drop of paint. The leads for it are very short so it's handy to have it beside the HV...

I can understand that mate, what he is saying is very relevant to me so I'm interested but his voice is very boring. I believe the VCU kit comes mostly complete but a few chips need soldering on but I'll report back when it arrives. If I'd paid 750 Euro I could have got it complete including box...

I decided to bite the bullet and ordered a Zombieverter kit to replace my VCU. https://www.evbmw.com/index.php/evbmw-webshop/vcu-boards This video is a little out of date but if you can stay awake long enough listening to Damiens voice it should explain what a Zombieverter is. It's a pity...

Amazing photo's, thanks for sharing. Have a great trip.

WOW! I need to get me one of them! 😁

Probably down 4 or 5mpg.

Because these ones are cheap and easy. Proper spacers are made using high grade metal, are held on with nuts and have 5 new studs for the wheels but will set the wheels out 10 or 15mm.

I had 5mm spacers for the same issue but wasn't happy with them and replaced the rims. With the way tyre fitters and mechanics hammer in the wheel nuts you need every mm of thread to keep you and your family safe. The other issue with spacers is it means the centre hub is not seated correctly so...

In fairness most LR products have the oil slick as standard issue too.

Is it an ejector seat?

Well done mate, I think most of that went over his head but I enjoyed it. ☺️ And not a rainbow in sight! 🤣

Normally one of them is in the house but it somehow ended up here. :vb-confused2: Today after washing it I jumped in and felt a drip from the interior light! Turns out the roof new aerial I installed a few months back is leaking. I guess the silicone sealant I bought today for the leaky glass...

K Series are great engines but are known to eat head-gaskets. Anything over 50k miles (80k km) and you are on borrowed time but many will fail before that. How many kilometres are on the car now? If the head-gasket was replaced at 60k, what make of gasket was used? Did the head need skimmed...

I'm pretty good at loosing everything so the first thing I did after building my garage was screw this board to the wall and hang my spanners in full view. I still loose them from time to time but usually not for long.
