Slacker! 😋

It was a while ago but IIRC the car I looked at had a button to start it so the guy may have wired it into the starter relay. I did a similar thing myself recently in my wifes Ford Kuga. It stopped recognising the clutch was pushed in even though I replaced the switch at the pedal so the Start...

Bypassing the immobiliser is possible as I once saw a Freelander where it was done but I don't know how. Does the immobiliser send CAN messages to the ECU or is it as simple as a GND or 12V signal?

All of my Freelanders had original exhausts so they must have been well made. And yes as Nodge says the power steering hose is always flattened like that. It had me concerned too the first time I saw it.

I like the way you're thinking. :banana:

Currently working on Chademo charging and if it works I'm a definite maybe. :D

The case and headers arrived today. :) The Evri driver mustn't have had his glasses on as he dropped it off at a neighbours door. Thankfully he took a photo of the parcel at the door and I was able to recognise the address. Anyway I have it now so no harm done. This is the complete kit now...

I should have posted this link last time https://openinverter.org/wiki/ZombieVerter_VCU#Introducing:_the_%22ZombieVerter%22_VCU_-_a_general_purpose_EV_conversion_VCU.

I've seen the same issue with a blue Freelander. It seems the blue paint doesn't stick well to the undercoat for whatever reason.

Do you think it was genuine? I've seen LR Time working on D3's but no idea how difficult it would be to electrify.

Wimen!!!!! :oops: Now I know a little bit more about Savvycan and how to use it to take CAN dumps I could probably have a better chance of making an FL2 work without its ECU. The important thing is to get a CAN dump of the car running before the engine and ECU is removed so you can setup an...

The Zombieverter is a board that was mainly designed to control OEM hardware like inverters/motors, heaters, chargers etc by sending the appropriate CAN signals and it's constantly being updated with new hardware being added to the menu's. It can also be used to control the dash but I'm not sure...

Is that the same company that built computer keyboards 20 or 30 years ago? If so they've come on a bit. 😊

Mine looks better. 🤣 This arrived today It's called a Zombieverter VCU (Vehicle Control Unit), 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...

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.
