Says the man with the orange box on wheels suffering from tin worm :p

Well that's good to hear booboodag. Given that I only spent £9 on them, I'll consider trying it out and see what happens.

I won't be changing my mind and 'weared' is not a word :D

I commute all year round on my ZX6-R unless it's physically snowing. And I don't wear tights :p

Now that's interesting. Are you running a facelift Mk1 or pre 2003 model (not sure if the lenses were made of polycarbonate or glass on earlier models)

@ hippo : I run an HID in my bike - I think it makes the bike far more visible to cage drivers and it's been through 2 MOTs with no trouble at all.

yes, I was concerned that the FL had polycarbonate lenses and that this would be an issue. I know they run hotter, but how much hotter is an issue? With regards the MOT test, I am confident higher wattage main beam bulbs will not fail. The testers guide is here: MOT UK car and vehicle MOT...

I ordered some 80w bulbs for our freebie. The supplier sent 100w. My only concern is that there is a warning on the box saying the circuit needs to be rated at 20 amps minimum. I make the draw of each bulb less than 8.5amps so with a circuit fused at 15 amps I see no issue but would welcome...

You can fit one of these: Digital In/Out Car Thermometer Voltage Monitor | eBay You can then buy one of these: 12v Vintage Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Auto Cigaret | eBay And wire it into your existing cigar lighter behind the dash and connect the socket to the power lead for the thermometer...

Get a TD4, not the Rover engined diesels. The TD4 came in after 2000 and is much more reliable. Our 2004 TD4 has 118,000 miles on the clock and aside from injectors, all seems to be well (touch wood). New injkectors fitted and she's right as rain. They need fettling here and there but most...

Even on a freelander? :)

ours does it. Not a problem at all :P You can hear it louder with the pollen filter removed. It's the compressor.

The multipla does and always will look like it's been set alight and put out with a bicycle chain. People will think you're really cool if you have a freelander (even if it does cost a fortune to repair when VCUs, IRDs, Injectors etc fail...). We chose a Freelander over a Honda CR-V and HR-V...

Are you asking how it's possible for it to run unaided? It's called Diesel engine runaway, and although uncommon, I've heard of it happenening in trucks without inversion cutoffs after tipping over. Diesel engine runaway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

£4.50 a litre is excelent value for money. If you want branded, then Ebay will be your friend. 2 STROKE OIL TEXACO MOTEX 2T 1 LITRE (More than 12 available) | eBay

is the cruise control ECU fitted? (think under passanger seat although I could be wrong) Perhaps someone tried to fit cruise, failed and removed the bits they could be arsed to remove.

bloody hell Taxii, My wife is the insured on our FL TD4. She's had her license 10 years now, but only has a years no claims. Mileage allowance is 10,000. Chris knott insurance beat our renewal by 10% bringin our insurance down to £540 odd Fully Comp.

check the camshaft position sensor as I think these can give erroneous signals when hot. Run the car, when it gets up to temperature, stop it, see if it starts, if it doesn't, spray some compressed air in a can on it (it'll cool it down quickly) and try again. If it starts, there's your problem.

My bet is it needs a new injector or 2. Get it on a leak-back test.
