My wife was upstairs and yelled down to me, “Do you ever get a sharp stabbing pain go through your whole body, like someone with a voodoo doll of you has just stuck a long needle through it?” ”Er, noooo...” I said, concerned. ”Oh,” she said, and she followed it a few seconds later with “how about now?”

I've been doing quite a bit to the Land Rover over the past few days, so thought it was time to share them here.

Lc2 - plan to wire into my DTA ECU as it can send readings via can to my aim dash. Have had a long standing cold start mapping issue and a bit too much “asbo” behaviour off throttle that I’d like to tweak out so the wide band will help with that.

Hi ALL I've not heard from the campsite but I think we can assume that, for the time being, things are on hold. I'll try and get in touch with the manager and get their official position on it. Whilst it currently doesn't look promising, I think you'll all agree that it's a little too early to predict exactly what level of movement control the Scottish Government will have in place for the end of June, and I'll keep you notified of any more information that I get from Strathfillan. Keep well and stay safe! Rab

The problem with this is that the media are using this to sell papers or add space. It was a day or so ago that claimed 51% of those in iTu or ICU depending upon where you are die. Suggesting this was awful. Without Covid the average death rate was just over 30%. Now all deaths are sad but those figures are nowhere near as bad, a 20% increase and remember last year over 20K extra people died from normal flu and not a change to how we lived. The other key thing after all this is seeing what the condition of people who died were in. From what I understand many were obese, had COPD or some other lung condition. Smokers feature pretty high and there appears to be disparity between men and women plus an apparent statistical blip in BAME patients. The papers always say "no underlying issues" but in reality that does not mean they had no issues. One for example died of heart failure from an unknown fault exposed by Covid_19. All needs to be published after a full a through assessment. There is also the way we live has clearly had an effect. The UK is densely populated in comparison to other countries and the two hotspots are unsurprisingly London and Birmingham area less dense have less cases. You also have to set these deaths alongside the results of the lockdown on mental and physical health, with increase of abuse and domestic violence. This is why we need to wait until this is over before we can see what worked and what did not. We also need to look at how vulnerable we appear to have been economically and also our ability to get products, Almost all the PPE comes from China and with lead times etc and quality is not always top notch hence the return of the testing kits the NHS was waiting for. We need to learn from this and make sure we are never in this position again

Just for fun, have a go and put up your video!! I tried and they are linked below. Endeavoured to make it funny but it is surprisingly difficult and I don't really sound like that do I? It was great to get into the Little Beast and do a warm up even though not allowed out on the road. Not to get too technical - I might show my lack of knowledge - Rover V8 3.5ltr 200BHP, carbs so smells wonderful, underslung exhaust, Powerlite starter with power cables from the national grid, and a very noisy Holly fuel pump! GO ON - HAVE A GO!!

Brilliant. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52278746

Done exactly that Chris. LC2 into DTA, Can link into AiM dash. Have a “mapping” screen on the dash, with as well as the usual T’s and P’s, RPM, TPS and AFR. The ECU can also log the AFR readings for back-at-home analysis, too.

SOLD. Exported to Italy.

Tony, Get yourself on of these and a cheap AFR gauge that runs 0-5V. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INNOVATE-LC-2-Digital-Wideband-Controller-with-LSU-4-9-Sensor/183969133996?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Or one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UEGO-Air-Fuel-Ratio-AFR-Controller-Wideband-KIT-Bosch-LSU-4-9-Probe-With-Gauge/123931924568?hash=item1cdaeb1858:g:kvIAAOSwljFdudEy

You been washing your cylinder head in the shower again ?

🤔 maybe get them fitted sooner rather than later then.

best engine, best colour - more details required. see you on track hopefully!

This seems to be written with some form of realism😁

Welcome from sunny Shropshire; good looking car!

Why rescue them? Seems an unnecessary risk for the lifeboat crew to me. Their lives weren’t at risk from being stuck on an island for the duration of a tide cycle.

Put it on Uphill Racers and it will fly

Welcome - from the North Oxfordshire area. We hope to see you and your Westfield once we are allowed to get out and get together again. Simon

Welcome from South Derbyshire!

Gardening ✅ Wife’s car washed ✅ My ‘tin top’ washed ✅ Patio jet washed ✅ House windows cleaned ✅ House cleaned ✅ Westie.... cleaned, hoovered, polished, cleaned again, polished again !!!! 😂✅✅✅ We might not be allowed out, but she’s rearing to go once lock down is over 🌈💪🏎!!!

Looks nice 👍 Berkshire

from a cold Scarborough.

Looks smart 👍

Or we could just be doing less testing. Stats can always be spun. For example, I know at least 4 people who are 99% sure they've had it (all the timings and symptoms add up) but haven't been tested, and only one person who has been a confirmed case. All 5 have recovered, only 1 of those will have gone down on the stats. Based upon that (albeit very small sample), out fatality rate is actually 1/4 of what that report shows.

One of the very few benefits of being an "essential worker" is I got to use the Westie on Saturday to go into work! Three spaces to the left, you can see the remnants of when it took a petrol wee 4 weeks ago 😂😂 It was lovely driving her despite it being only 6 miles of 30/40 limits... T-shirt and shades weather too for a change 😎 Then spent the afternoon giving her a wash and polish, even got the autosol out in the exhaust

Nice car! Welcome.

from sunny Somerset.

From Preston

Looks great! Welcome.

from Essex

Don’t have many pictures at the moment
