Its what god invented super glue for. Oh, and the British weather.

To the best of my knowledge, you are correct, its plastic. If I really put my thinking cap on, there's plastic that can be recycled and plastic that can't - dunno why, maybe the stuff that can't is made from Russian oil. Not much help really, like I have been through your project, but I've...

It would presumably throw an implausible error code if both 1st and reverse were showing at the same time. Would manifest itself as soon as you engage reverse - unless its a sticky code and needs clearing.

Coffee is usually sufficient for me.... lots of coffee breaks :D

I believe garages have 'sniffers' that can tell if it is combustion gas working its way round to the expansion bottle.

If you have an issue with the oil cooler, this will mix oil into the coolant, not air.

If you are getting bubbles coming through the coolant system, I presume it can only be gas being pushed into it (eg from the cylinders) of from air being sucked in. If there is a loose clip or small split in a hose on the low pressure side of the water pump, this could suck in air while not...

I'm not sure what the error, engaged and activated lights are - to know what your amber light means. If it's engaged, have you put a multimeter across the switch terminals to see if its still working OK?

That thread is totally irrelevant to your car. It relates to a '98 car with an L Series engine. The config changed in 2000 to the TD4 and I'm sure it will be very different.

My first thoughts are whether the icarsoft can talk to the SRS and if it does whether it successfully connected to your SRS ECU. Sounds silly when you have your own diagnostic device, but I'd see if there was a garage willing to give you the codes on a no-win-(ie find any codes)-no-fee basis...

Maybe it might be quicker overall to learn a little more about coding Arduino than learning how to code the 'AI' ;)

I believe a popular insurer for modified vehicles used to be Adrian Flux... https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/ IIRC they used to be a sponsor on LZ. Can't help with the noise. Do you know all the donor parts were OK?

After fitting the Hifly Super2000's and getting the F1 through its WOF recheck, I took it for a blast last night after work out to Twilight Golf then home afterwards. 26km drive out on the open road and the car/tyres looked to be performing well.

Nice way of approaching it :D

You don't say which window? You can cut the wires, make sure the glass doesn't fall down though.

lol, fun project within the project.

I've just ordered a couple of Hifly Super2000 tyres for my (2WD) F1. I'm sure the guy said $77.40 each - which equates to £35! I'll see when the invoice comes in. Should get the tyres this afternoon and I'll fit them tomorrow. At that price it seams stupid not to replace all 4 - but the...

Mine's the opposite, always buys the parts for me in advance.... bucket, sponge etc.

What does diagnostics say? If there's some error codes, it'll most likely point you in the right direction.

+1 On the bright side, at least you won't have a hose pipe ban.
