You can make a tool with a flat bar of steel. cut a short piece off, drillholes so that you can put a nut and bolt in one about 6 to 8 inches up the long peiec, and a corresponding one in the end of the short piece. So you are left with a Y...

If you tell them it’s half 2, they think it’s 1PM!

Incidentally, you were right, Datatek. It was No 5 injector leak off pipes leaking. I've got some braided hose spare.

Shame most US owners have petrol P38's. They would love all this sixteenths stuff !!

At 3/4 of nominal max. power output without rev limiter or at the rev limiter, if I understood well. Not sure, it's a science to properly apply those testing procedures. Anyways, off to Scotland we go now!

After a 7 year love hate relationship I've decided it's time to let the L322 go. As much as I'd like to keep it I don't have the space for it along side this 😍

I had an after market titanium silencer on my VFR. Trickling thorough town is was very quiet, give it some wellie and I could scare the shyte out of unobservant car drivers :gunner: it did sound a bit like a machine gun.

Nice! Bikes are allowed higher limits here as well, some as high as 105 or so. Old enough, and there are no limits at all. Germany authorities turned nuts regarding exhaust noise, some people are just crazy. Emptying exhaust dampeners...

I don't think those number are particularly high! Just normal

Bigger hammer :)

Wouldn't be a land rover any other way!!

Seems to happen quite requently, doesn't it? 🫣😳

Yes of course, what i meant.. have i found a problem i didn't know i had? 🤔🤭

If there's play it's an issue, whether or not it's "the" issue my good man. 🤔👍

Jeeezzzz that's a lot 😮 I thought km as you're in French France 😁

Around 432.000kms🤩

That's miles my dear😘👍

Is that km?

Upwards and onwards☝️😎

Generally that means bad comms. What version of Windows are you using? Are you sure that the driver being used is the correct one and not one chosen by Windows? If you are using a USB to serial adaptor, does it support the full RS232 controls...

Well, to go to the original topic...I previously had a p38 with poly's installed by the PO. Driving at 60mph it felt like something was trying to rip the front axle from underneath the car ie death wobble, pretty unnerving on a motorway...once I...

Appreciated

There's a guy in (Sheffield) called Sherwin who is straight but I think he's probably retired. I'll see what I can find out

Those folks are rare indeed

Exactly Tony and his son used to specialise in working and making road worthy cars from the 60 and 70's, so have a good knowledge and tolerance of the older vehicle.

Same over here, with old cars you NEED, I cannot emphasize that enough, a testing station that is used to old and classic cars. And that testing needs to be pragmatic about things, there some specialzed of sorts in classics that could as well...

The secondary rollers are just moveable units put first under the rear, then moved for the fronts. I think from memory there are 8 rollers of about 50mm diameter mounted in a S/S frame. They are quite heavy to move as I have done the moving a...

Looks a bit like the French one I use except they have a pit instead of a lift.

My guy also doesn't do repairs, just MOT's. The bay has those jiggle plates for the front wheels, whcih are brilliant for finding loose joints. Easy to see from the pit (no 4-post lift required). Also he uses a Tapley meter to do the P38...

all well and good, but a lot is down to opinion (and subsequently experience) of the tester.. one mans advisory is another mans fail. tolerances in older cars arent the same as modern cars. if you've only ever seen modern, you'll fail an old car...
