Re: More Russian car repairs.

Although those skills are very impressive I'm not sure which is more disturbing:
* That the car would fold like an egg box along all the weakened cuts at the next impact, or,

Re: Window master control pannel

I cannot imagine there's much difference, but I do not know for sure. Maybe it's just the shape? Also I don't know where the automatic anti-trap back-off circuit is located; if that's in the switch pack then it's possible that it'll have different settings on each switch to account for the length of...

Re: Dual Battery

Andy, If you have two identical batteries, and are using hefty cables to connect them, then probably not too many issues and it will indeed behave as one.

Re: Disco3 TDV6 2009 Upper Tailgate

If that FET relates to a Field Effect Transistor (an electronic version of a relay with no moving parts for those who don't know) then it's almost certainly a part of the the CJB itself which is a bit of a nightmare to check over as it has a lot of plugs/cables feeding into it.

Re: Overcharging??

Isn't the aircon module also involved in charging voltage (allowing the outside temperature to increase voltage to aid low temp charging)? With that in mind, a good earth to those radio/aircon modules is also going to be important, and I think those are the ones down at the bottom of the driver and ...

Re: Coolant Level

Re: fancy a bit of role play with your 4x4??????

Well that's both interesting and frustrating Nick! It's exactly the kind of thing that I would be interested in helping out with and yet I've been giving up all my external activities as work is taking over my world :( People have been quitting under the strain so it's only a matter of time I guess ...
