That looks clean. Could be coil pack related and spark plug tube seals

Went out for a blast this afternoon to clearing my head after shouting at the electric company all afternoon. While putting Westie away: Things can always get a little worse...

I have contacted Coverdale and have made some templates for them to make me a carpet set. At least this way i am getting carpets to fit exactly to my build.

Well it needs to be simple enough for me to understand it! Essentially, if you have a removable steering wheel, it allows control of things like indicators, lights, wipers, horn etc from buttons on the wheel. This is done via a battery powered wireless transmitter on the wheel connected to the buttons, and a relay box receiver (in my case) which generally goes behind the dash and needs to be fitted either alongside or in place of the various controls on the dash or steering column. There are more sophisticated systems involving CAN bus for example but my car is way too basic to need any of that 🤣.

Put it back on for next mot unless your planning more bank robberies

As a safety feature I think it's a great idea. Make sure your MOT man doesn't get arsey about it though, you know what they are like these days. I had my Jag failed on the number plate for the first time in 35 years, and the guy who failed it passed it last year! Needless to say, he is no longer my MOT guy 😂

I've seen this system crop up many times on WSCC, can someone explain in simple terms (yeah go on, laugh your heads off 😂) for the likes of me, what it does please? PS. asking on behalf of a friend 😂

Yeah I've set both to solid. I was just seeing what they could do

Still investigating the miss-fire. No concrete leads as yet, three plugs definitely showing signs of abnormal combustion some, though not much, soot marking, which would tally with dropping on to one cylinder, while running. One plug completely normal/good combustion looking, the others variations on this: There was a little "loose" oil in the bottom of the plug wells, no where near enough to reach as far up as the electrical contacts, but enough to wet the plug threads taking them out - I couldn't get any more oil out. before removing the plugs.

Best set them to solid - it’s not legal to have flashing brake lights. The main reason flashing lights are illegal is to prevent confusion with emergency vehicles, such as police cars and recovery trucks, which have specific exemptions for using flashing red lights. Some newer vehicles have an "emergency stop signal" which flashes the brake lights during very heavy braking, but this is an EU-mandated feature that must deactivate automatically once braking slows or hazard lights are activated

I've had a short mainly foggy run into the Peaks to join the gang for breakfast only and an equally foggy run home. Roads mainly dry and dirty! Nice to be out! Almost a poppy for @Greenstreak-Andy D My Peaky 'Bat cave' A great turn out as usual

Will try get a better video later. They can be set to either flash or be solid. One of each above. The "V" light has been trimmed off one end as it was too long so the centre is on the up on the right hand side of cage and the pattern is out for any one with ocd 🤣 Also can be used as indicators but only in red where it lights from one side and runs to the other like the fancy new ones

I’ll pm you now

Cheers I’ll check it out

We need videos of them in action!

Temu specials fitted and wired

Hi do you still have theses? So can you put me down for them. Cheers Martin

There was a guy asking about hoods on one of the facebook groups. Not sure which one

If you could post it I’d take it.

Hi, can anyone help with the following? Looking to get my contoured dash re-trimmed from blue to black. Looking to get a complete replacement carpet set. See picture first reference. It’s a 1999 SEiW SEight. Thanks for any pointers & best regards Phil

Thanks Ian 👍🏼

Black hood and frame - For Sale due to purchase of Soft Bits half hood. Please note, both need a bit of a clean up due to storage. The clear rear plastic window has a small cut approx 25mm long, and the front plastic windscreen channel is damaged in centre where it fastens to the front screen surround - common problem as weak point - Frame tubes all good but at fixing points have a tiny surface corrosion - but an easy fix. £1495 to buy from Westfield - Now for sale at further reduced price to £125 with collection from Wolverhampton

Have a great day @Benrobson2999 - Kent AO 🍺🎂
