  1. I did mine from hard top to soft top (bikini) before going to truck cab although I am eyeing that canvas up once more…..
  2. I have Ender 3v2 that I’ve added to. I have a creality enclosure as the printer lives in the garage and recommend a little foam filament cleaner stop dust getting on the filament into the hot end. I’ve got leds and a camera on it, switched it to klipper with a pi. As with landy make sure it’s set up well and square and all adjusted correctly (sure you will but as this is a general thread tips thread). I’ve printed alignment aids with it. I want a hole in a certain spot every time model and print it as the printer is accurate. I am eyeing and adapter for the snorkel hole on my wing to print. Vacuum connectors handy to do. Control boxes another item. I use f360 and unit maker slicer but lots of got stuff out there. I’ve done broken plastic things - scissor handle, battery cover. Take a picture import into 360 and draw round the missing pieces. hope you have lots of fun with it.
  3. Is there an idle control valve in the mix? I had trouble with mine on its response settings I think.
  4. The auto box will shift to a higher gear let’s say when it wants to. Now sometimes you might want to stay in a gear longer with the higher revs. In a manual no problem just don’t change up. In the auto you need to tell it with those numbers which says don’t go higher than this gear. So any time to might want to stay in a gear in a manual you can use the numbers to do it in an auto. Cases I use or for are off road when I don’t want to go too fast and hill decent. Maybe towing up a hill but you also have kick down which if you floor the throttle tells the auto box this gear is nice but how about we go for a lower one. For some land rovers this results in a change in noise but not actually a change on speed but that’s probably for another thread 🙂
  5. Warping inside the car or engine bay with pla will be a risk. You can always pay a print shop to do it on abs for you.
  6. 3D prints don’t have to be full of voids and gaps. I’ve done prints I’ve run water through. PLA is a bit low melting point so while I m not sure it uv degrades as much as some suggest I did leave a pla lid in my conservatory and it did warp a bit, but something a like abs will likely handle it. I would try it. You can always send the design for a 3D print shop to do in a given material if it fits with pla.
  7. Shows onboard gps as optional for that so I assume yours doesn’t have it. What software are you thinking of using and what do you want out of it? google maps will take a pin drop and get you places but wants a data connection. I would tether to my phone but need a signal. I would think external gps and good to go but just guessing.
  8. If it’s a charity thing then that’s fine. Makes for a taking point which is probably half the reason.
  9. I think someone did a super charging the heater thread. I don’t think anything is particularly near it.
  10. I had a wet battery and can say it does come pour out when upside down. so looking for something gel like. What is a good V8 size ? I have a Rover 4.2 and hydraulic winch. LiFePO4 smaller footprint sounds good as long as they aren't crazy money. I want to squeeze some more things in that underseat area.
  11. My defender spends a lot of time on charge on the garage. Recently the c tel charger is reporting fully charged but starter runs like it’s flat (clicking only) but if unplug and re plug the charger in a few hours it will run. Next few weeks while on charge back to flat. Might be charger or battery I guess but either way I expect the battery is toast now. Is a gel agm red top. They still good? Just grab another of those ?

  13. I would like to think the police would be showing the actual speed footage and it’s not like the guy looked at it and said that’s not the footage speed, he has gone yeah actually that is pretty much it I’ll cop a plea now thanks. if we are saying would certain ‘news’’ outlets look to portray the incident in a not completely accurate light to suit their narrative choices that I can certainly get on board with 🙂
  14. Here we go https://www.northants.police.uk/news/northants/news/in-court/2022/march-22/motorist-pleads-guilty-to-careless-driving-thanks-to-operation-snap-video-submission/ stay away from mail and express poke you with a stick stories. Guy plead guilty after seeing the footage, didn’t slow down. I think it’s irrelevant the cyclist fell over. You don’t have to hit someone to be guilty of not enough care and attention.
