Whenever I want to try and look at live data or changing conditions on things like cruise-control etc. the awful and overly heavy ODB socket to Nanocom cables drag the nanocom out of the delicate little phone-holder and onto the floor so I cannot achieve what I am seeking to do. I can understand...

Hi folks, I have been bought a 'spensive dashcam with front & rear cameras for Xmas/Birthday. Anyone know how easy/hard it is to get a cable routed through the headlining space from front to rear or vice-versa? I am sure I can get a live-wire through the bulkhead OK and up the A-Pillar for power...

My 4.6L Thor Rangie cannot be filled up with petrol at anything other than a slow trickle or the petrol-pump shuts off at the filling station. Does the vehicle have an anti "topping off" flap like some other "more modern" vehicles? If so, can it be reset, and how? Currently it takes me 20...

I have just had my Rangie's headlining replaced with a refurbed one by a chap called Jason at "Blackbrook Auto-Trim" (07779 303 858). He's a really smashing bloke, he couldn't have been more helpful. My old saggy one out and a re-trimmed replacement in while the wife & I wandered round the...

I just watched this and it talks about both the N57 and M57 BMW engines and them catching fire in police cars all too frequently.

For some reason I cannot fathom my dashboard clock (smiths industries finest?) just does not work. If I press the time correcting button it will advance (slow, then faster, then megaspeed) but after you set it you can return to the car to find it has not advanced from the set time. The clock...

Those Microsoft a-holes have done it again. Rave that ran under Win 10, will no longer work under Win 11. :( Tried all the same fixes as before (Compatibility mode) but no dice. Has anyone managed to get it working, if so how? TIA. Dan.

MY2000 4.6 Thor powered Rangie. Hello folks, I am hoping to get some useful suggestions on "next steps" to diagnose/fix/improve my Cruise control. What's wrong with it? - It only "Sort-of" works. What do you mean "Sort-of works"? - Pootling along at 50-55 I can get it to engage and hold that...

It never rains but it pours as they say. I fixed the speaker cones on the Woofer unit earlier this year and to do this I had the whole lot out of the PS cubby hole, broke the woofer & Amp unit apart and fixed the speaker cone rings and then put it all back. It has been working fine until the...

Hi all, Sorry to ask but I cannot find a definitive answer in RAVE or my workshop manual in searches here or on the interweb. Since the fuel hose between the filler-neck and the tank was replaced some little while ago I have had difficulty in passing water fuel into the tank on fill-ups. The...

The P38 has done 18K miles total and does about 800-900 miles a year. The local Indie talks about keeping the service schedule etc. etc. With so few miles going on the old gal is it worth the servicing costs or should I just stick some additives in the fuel and oils and sorry to ask it but is...

Took herself out for some shopping to a nearby town some 4 miles away. The road between the 2 towns is 3 and 4-lane with some unrestricted bits, but most of it is 50. On the way home I noticed a rhythmic beat like a thrumming within the drive train. All new (<3k miles tyres) and all seem ok...

These cars just love to kick us in the nuts don't they? I drove across town to a parcel drop-off shop. Got out, locked the car (on the fob) delivered the parcel and came out and the car would not respond to the fob. Opened the door with the key and got a double chirp on the BBUS and "Engine...

"Fob Battery Low" message on Dash. New batteries at the ready, and...... Open fob battery cover (with difficulty) with coin "as per handbook". replace batteries and close up fob. No lights on any button press. De-nada. Open again, remove batteries, chacl spring contacts in fob are all ok...

I tried a search but I am rubbish at it and could not find any relevant threads. The speakers on the top of my BASS unit in the boot are both broken with the plastic/sponge material that joins the cone to the speaker frame all disintegrated. Are there "plug compatible" replacements available for...

I was asked to shift something for someone today and when putting the car back to normal I noticed both "wells" where the rear seat anchor to the floor-pan were full of water! :eek: The surrounding carpet seemed dry-ish, so how did the water manage to get in there to fill these 2 "wells"...

The P38 is a very battery hungry animal if it doesn't have the latest RF fob receiver and you don't use it as an every day driver. But I can say that since I fitted the RF filter from MartyUK to my P38 the parasitic drain was greatly reduced. But.... it still dropped volts over several days and...

An earlier thread of mine lamented the loss of £75 of Shell's finest motion potion. Replacement of the failed rubber tube between the filler neck assembly and the spigot pipe on the tank resolved the leakage but now I have a different problem. I cannot easily fill the tank with petrol...

The last service report from my INDIE about 6 months ago said all 4 bags were cracked/cracking and he expected them to fail soon (originals and 20 years old, so fair-do's). It went in for replacement of all 4 for new Dunlop bags today. I got a call mid-afternoon apologising that it would not...
