Hello all! Chassis number question
Mark (smokey mow) replied to Gillinghampaul's topic in The Start Line
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. -

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 💙 -
Why are Jap Bars Called That?
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) replied to dvd8n's topic in Stuff & Nonsense
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? -

Warning to all Westfield drivers!! If you don't come out into the Peak District on a regular basis you will end up with Bagpuss Related Bad Parking Syndrome, as demonstated perfectly here! we won't name names though😁 Thanks Dan for the photo Breakfast for 9 in Cupola Cafe. Excellent quality food, not cheap but defo not nasty. We were out of the cafe before 11 and off on our run out. It stayed dry, the roads were really quiet, I did a superb last minute left turn (proud of that, nearly missed it!), had to take my sunglasses off on the tops due to fog and we all landed safely at The Tea Junction, Hulme End. Rita We all had a Worzel Gummidge moment, here's mine Ian was in control of his hair this week, until he sat next to me that is😁 That's it, we were done in record time and on our way home at 12:45, dry, light and all good having had a fun day with not a word of common sense between us. It's @AndrewBClarke's Christmas Party next Saturday at The Bentley Brook, if the weather is kind I will be doing a run out beforehand, looking forward to it, see you all there XXXX -
Well I was just trying to get the diameter of the bar without the bother of getting off the sofa. I didn't expect to be in danger of being cancelled.

I did a Google search for Westfield Jap Bars. Google helpfully corrected that to Westfield Japanese Bars. I told Google that, no, I meant Westfield Jap Bar. Notheless, Google helpfully gave me a load of pictures of nice Japanese people sitting at bars 🫣

Another smashing day out, thanks as ever to Julie & Glen. Roads pretty quiet and we had a fab drive up and back. A little foggy but all adds to the fun. -

Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset replied to Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset's topic in The Start Line
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 😂
