ever since that stolen land rover ad was posted using large block capitals I see large block capitals as the prose of the criminal. And selling this car as an ideal ram raid vehicle isn't changing my mind much. Perhaps they are drawn to the "lock" part of caps lock and as such habit means that key is broken on all their keyboards ? ;-)

In my experience real time displays run through web browsers tend to suck.

If I could justify the ipad I could remove almost the entire dashboard (probably need to leave the steering wheel unless the ipad was mounted on the steering boss) and just use the ipad for everything. Surely adding a couple of relays to MS would be easy enough to get remote start and stop going?

I'm interested in being a tester. Have 3G iphone and megasqiurt 1 v3 I've just hooked up a onboard linux PC with console monitor for megasquirt but I'd be very interested on what the iphone can do. Ideally if the iphone can do MS and sat nav and music it ticks all the tech boxes but I can just put it in my pocket when I leave the vehicle. Feature request would be out of bound values (such as high temp) go red and take over entire display

P38s are a combination of high tech and questionable quality and they still seem to be around. Necessity is the mother of all invention

It;s more of an abomination truck than a monster truck...

Reading between the lines ...... The best looking (piece of) 4x4 (when viewed from a)far

1994 Vogue 300 tdi auto front radius arm bolt. I'm going to have to cut the current on off to get it out.

Finally I have a car pc running Unbuntu 9.1 with tuner studio MS and I have the touchscreen working. Used one of these Transcend - IDE 40 Pin Vertical - 2GB Flash Module (SLC) (although need the 4 gig one really there are great)

I think current guidelines are 5 years old. If it was old and deflated the thing would overheat and go bang pretty quickly. Mythbusters were doing explosive blowouts and it didn't get messy until you ran deflated tyres till failure. A straight hole (from a shotgun) and the thing held together fine. 4 minutes of running on the tyre with no pressure in it and boom.

just for the record I'm saying I don't think that works

Nice stupid question now. Do Air filters work both ways round ? So if I have a cylindrical paper filter can I feed air into the middle and have the draw to the engine on the outside ?

I thought the 2 were different and not interchangable. I think the size is the same but the windscreen surround for the seals is not.

My current air box almost fits but the routing looks tight

All I swapped from carbs to EFI. This means my snorkel is now same side as EFI air intake. So as megasquirt means no air sensor my plan is to get an induction kit so the air filter can live under the heater box. This is for a rover 4.2 V8 I'm just curious if anyone has done this. Contenders are K & N Apollo http://www.knfilters.com/universal/apollo.htm Green Cotton Twister XL http://www.greenfilters.co.uk/Green_Filters_-_Twister_Filter_System-Twister_Filter_System_XL_Size/c683_688/index.html BMC cda100-150 http://www.bmcairfilters.com/infoCDA.asp At the moment I'm leaning to K & N but it might get a bit gaspy at high revs.

All, I can't seem to find definitive settings for the LC-1 and megasquirt. The seems to be re-program view to give I think 10:1 - 20:1 which I thinks puts crossover at 2.35 V but also that the advantage of that isn't much and you can leave it a defaults that gives 2.45 V as crossover as long as megasquirt understands this value Also the response time under advanced, I've tweaked mine down to 1/12 response and that seems to stop tickover jumping all over the place. Is this right ? Can I run 2.45 V as long as megasquirt is set the same or can someone post up the table for programming LC-1 to the other set up ?

The defender windscreen has a very steep angle. A lot of mirrors don't have enough adjustment.

My first thought would be faulty air sensor as that's always my first thought.

Yes! that's it. :-). Next question has anybody got one for sale ? I trawled the entire parts catalog and couldn't find it listed.

"the bracket this clip part attaches too is part of the front screen frame inner face, should have 3 captive nutserts fitted. " Have the thingy in the picture. It's what that bolts to I'm missing. My screen rail just goes straight across.

My windscreen surround seems to be missing the bracket for the rearview mirror. Does anybody have a picture of what the 3 hole mirror bracket bolts to please ?

About this difficult I reckon. twin v8 exhaust

Is that the one from the new A team movie ?

I'm in the same boat I think. I have the 4.2 Y piece but the 3.5 standard box. I think it's a bit small and it doesn't line up on 2 of the mounts so I'm worried the manifolds are carrying too much of the exhaust. Has any body done the 300 tdi rear section ? I just have visions of them not meeting in the middle .......

I struggled doing mine. And when I say struggled I mean I struggled and then bribed Fridge with beer tokens to do it. It was really easy after that. :-)
