Keis Heated Waistcoat, marked up as XL?? but obviously not the case so I've placed a tape measure on for correct sizing. In perfect working order, complete with three setting heat controller and cables. No rips or tears, from non pet or smoking household. £95 posted to uk (approx rrp £180) I have advertised Keis heated gloves that could also be connected to this waistcoat if purchased together.

Keis Heated INNER Gloves in very good condition. Size Small although they do fit me, (size 9) and need ideally to be a close fit. Come complete with Two cables, one "y" cable to fit through your jacket sleeves (like you had when you were a kid) and a second fused cable to connect to a power source. £45 posted to uk. (rrp £80) (also advertised elsewhere)

@Tim.Coles these are the old factory supplied stands so dimensions will be fine

If those don’t go, please do let me know. 2nd dibs…👍

Hi, do you have rough dimensions to make sure they fit the boot…👍

Yes, come collect

There is something quite magical about driving a Westie in the fog. As long as it's not too bad, it's quite exciting. Some of my most memorable kit car moments have been in the fog, like the time at about 5.30am on the A46 heading towards Stroud, when I was the only car on the road for miles around and I suddenly heard this thuck, thuck, thuck sound. Ah bum, flat tyre I thought, but no vibration? Looked up to my right and a low flying Chinook had spotted me, he changed course and came straight towards me and buzzed me! I could literally see guys in the windows waving! I lost the plot and started waving and screaming like some loony! It was a true 'special moment' of my kit car life, I felt like I was in Top Gun or some such film. I will never ever forget that blat! I wish I'd had a 360° camera that I can tell you, what a video that would have made!

Did some digging. There may be some mileage in this although it is a stretch.... .... but it seems a bit of a coincidence that JAP bars (from what I've seen) are usually spelt with capitals. Could it be something to do with John Aley? JA Products maybe? It's as good an answer as any I reckon.

Been telling people for at least a decade, they never listen. The danger is real, many experts agree...... (I've highlighted my favourite bits in bold 😂) The recent high-profile warning that artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction came from a short, stark statement published by the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) in May 2023. The statement, signed by dozens of top experts and tech leaders, including the CEOs of OpenAI (Sam Altman), Google DeepMind (Demis Hassabis), and Anthropic (Dario Amodei), read: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war". More recently, the controversial "AI 2027" paper and a new book by AI researchers Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, titled If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All (published in September 2025 in search results, implying a very recent release), have reiterated this extreme risk. Yudkowsky has notably stated, "I think we're not ready, I think we don't know what we're doing, and I think we're all going to die". (Lovely 😂) These warnings are part of an ongoing debate about the potential for future AI systems to surpass human intelligence and pursue goals that are misaligned with human values, a scenario known as an existential risk from artificial general intelligence (AGI) or artificial superintelligence (ASI).

Funny enough that was my immediate thought.

A first for me this week driving the westie in the fog☹️. Thanks to Julie for finding the quiet roads again.

Hi, are these still for sale?

Hi, do you still have these for sale?

Has Hollywood taught you nothing! 🤣

Actually they do. in the 17 digit vin format a live axle number will typically* begin SA9WSLA with the LA denoting “live axle”. *but not always as there are variations.

Aldridge trim off the penn road They used to make stuff for the factory back in the day Excellent service super fast but not cheap ! I took some interior panels in a couple of weeks ago to be retrimmed less than 24 hour turn around 5 star service !!!!

Andy your a brave man 🤣

Glad you all had a great time , must say though that last photo looks more like a chimps tea party 🤣 take care and see you all soon xx

The steering wheel buttons can be back-lit, but only for night time visibility. The active circuits would normally use the standard dash telltales. You can fit an illuminated dash CAN keypad though, which does light up brighter on the active circuits (there can be up to 14 of those) Edit to add a reminder that WSCC members have a 10% discount on my products since the whole business came about through this great club 💙

Honestly, I don’t know. i never quite dared ask, in the old factory days. I’ve got a sneaking suspicion it means exactly what Google thinks. From memory, they did kind of start appearing at (very) roughly the time there was a lot of exporting, by the old factory, of Westfields to Japan going on, in the nineties.

Since I'm currently fighting my way through the tangle of wires created by the previous builder — and myself (me from a few years ago ) — I can see that such a device, with a single relay box for up to eight outputs and no separate wiring for the control switches, must greatly simplify the construction of the electrical system. As I understand it, from the relay box you’d run one wire to the dipped beam, another to the high beam, a third to the left indicator, a fourth to the right one, a fifth to the reverse light, a sixth to the fog light, a seventh perhaps to a manual radiator fan switch, and an eighth, for example, to the heater fan. Just out of curiosity — are those buttons illuminated so you can tell when a given function is active?
