Not bothered about rain, unless is too hard. The tyres are R888R and are surprisingly good on the damp. The thing they don’t like is standing water when they can get quite lairy! My side doors seal very well (rubber trim around the front and bottom edge), so I don’t get water spraying up into the car. I wasn’t expecting rain today so didn’t take my hood, it’s fine so long as you are moving, gets a little damp when you have to stop! I go out in most weathers, salty roads are the main thing I avoid.

Been out to a local pub meet this morning. Wasn't popular as the exhaust blows all the dust in the car park, whoops !

You're not bothered by the damp I see Stuart. What tyres are you running? What do you do if it rains, just put rainwear on and carry on? I used to quite like it in the rain as long as it wasn't too hard and I could keep moving. That was in an exoskeletal car though, easier to dry out.

Overlooking Chesil Beach and the Isle of Portland this morning.

Don't know about you Richard, but it's peeing down this side of the county, so a road test may be a bit damp...

I would say so. That should give a small amount of over read as well, which is good.

Hopefully, getting somewhere

There's 20 of them. 918.2 x 20 = 18364

Yep, definitely. Then multiply 918.2 by the number of teeth/pick up points.

Hi Gary, Andy from Siltech replaced his version of the speed sensor from the 4 bolts to a disc with multiple teeth on it. It looks like I'll take take wheel off to count the teeth.

Finishes tonight only at 6k at the moment.... bargain for someone!!

You raised me well - I did decide - trying to arrange the transport of it now. Just like you pointed out about buying the car: what you want is always at the other end of the country 🙂

You know the saying? 'Dads are always right' So, I'm old enough to be your Dad but I can't answer that one for you, you're old enough to make that Decision.

Assuming the drivers side wheel you refer to is the front wheel?

If it's pointing at the disc, it'll be four bolts per revolution. By my reckoning, your tyre turns 918.2 times per mile. 918.2 x 4 = 3672.8 or 3673. The table shows the switch settings for 3672 which will be close enough. Set the switches to the settings above for 3672 and follow the rest of the instructions. That should do it.

Yes . it should be fairly obvious what passes near the sensor just need how many in one wheel rotation

Driving into Thornes Park.

Hi PK Sensor is mounted on the drivers side wheel bolt heads passing the sensor per wheel, i don't know - is it a case of just watching it? Dif I believe is standard 3.62

Need a little bit more information. Where is the sensor mounted . How many pulses (bolt heads passing the sensor per wheel rotation) Possibly diff ratio

Hi Gary, Thanks for the info, unfortunately that for 2004 onwards mines a pre 2004 unit. https://www.smiths-instruments.co.uk/app/uploads/2023/05/pil017-368.pdf https://www.smiths-instruments.co.uk/app/uploads/2023/05/speedo-dip-switch-tables-437.pdf If you ever get time, read the above!!

Scuttle and screen filet not in pictures used

In the absence of any commitment other than John I propose to relocate to Ash tree Farm, cos it’s halfway between John and me. Same time, 10am. John please confirm this is ok. Pamir Drive, Ashton-under-Lyne OL7 0LY
