May be Vosa has the answer see section 5.2.4 Identification of HEVs and EVs of http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/Hybrid%20Electric%20Vehicles%20and%20Electric%20Vehicles%20Inspection%20Standards.pdf

And where is the video of the spanner zipping into and alternative reality ?

A friend had a parcel from Amazon delivered by Yodel to work in central London, it never arrived as they had employed a muppet who was doing 2 jobs as he tried to deliver 5 times to a business address at 7pm and night and wondered why nobody was there to accept the delivery. This was on there super saver delivery type, usually you pay lots extra for evening deliveries.

Probably the maximum current is the injectors and they are usually fused at 7.5A but they have 2 pins. Looking at current rating of that type of connector, RS list the maximum current carrying capacity as 7.5A e.g. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/d-subminiature/2597562/ So 0.5mm2 will the nearest match (11A)

There are two bulbs on either side of the plastic housing, one shown in the picture

On my 96 Disco V8 the heater return pipe was in the middle of the rad bottom hose so the bottom pipe, I would expect some mixing of hot water back up to the rad and some of the heat to be conducted up the water (even without mixing) towards the rad. So the bottom hose might get warm even if there is no flow through the rad (I cannot check as the cooling plumbing on this engine is no longer standard)

Two things come to mind. 1. on both my v8's there is a throttle body heater plate that comes off before the thermostat and returns to the top of the rad on the output side, this might be heating the rad when the thermostat is closed. 2. The top hose is made of rubber and it will take a while for the outside to get hot even though there is hot water flowing through it, so you might think the thermostat is closed because the top hose is cold, but it is in fact just opened.

Like it, the first instruction is head North

There are probably lots of ways, depends on how complicated and expensive you want. The cheapest I thought of is normal multimeter and a webcam, just record a video and watch it back at multiple seed to see the cycle time change points. Or use one of the plug in 240v things CwazyWabbit said but just run the fridge directly off mains battery charger.

Front bumper and rear cross member winch mount parts are all made from 10mm

What are you building? A tank

Definitely 1inch, as I tried my inch socket and it went on and was a very snug fit. As for how tight it was, it was very FT, more than 250ft lbs but doable with my Snap torque wrench (about 1m long) This diff was clamped in a vice but when doing my 1996 disco, the 24mm nylock nut came off with about 120nm from a air ratchet and I just had the wheels on the ground to stop it turning. Another way of doing it is to get somebody to sit inside with the foot on the brakes, this should stop the axle turning enough to get the nut undone.

Measuring my 1992 90 with 10 spline diff with caplipers it is 25.642mm or 1.007 inch so I would go for an inch socket.

With leads crossing unless you have some problem with the spark plug or lead then the spark is going to take the path of least resistance, which is designed to be the spark plug that the lead is connected to. In water I think it is more likely that if a spark were to jump, it would probably jump to a nearby metal object like the rest of engine instead of going through another layer of insulation and another air gap at the end of spark plug to fire another spark plug. Even if it did think that another spark plug on a crossed lead was the path of least resistance, then the spark will probably be weakened and we all know that a weak spark can cause a cylinder not to fire. So I still think it is a neatness issue, but some of these designs with wires snaking all over the place are not neat in my mind.

that last attempt was for a different coil layout to Nige's (my competition part 2) Note the coil packs are rotated to point to the odd bank, not backwards and forwards as in Nige's request.

My best attempt

Hmm You have broken rule number 1 "Coils have to stay in their positions" and rule number 2 "ONLY LINKED pairs can be moved, ie you can swap say 7 & 4 with 6 & 1"

Moderator this thread should be in the MegaSquirt section, shame on you Nige And to add to this competition how about a better layout for the even bank rocker cover mount position shown in the MegaSqurit Mega thread. Blank below Note the coil packs are shown in the middle for ease of layout (their actual location is to the left) Initial layout shown in thread Any better ideas?

I would not expect it to be a problem, just more a neatness thing.

Landy V8 yours and mine look very similar, they use the same principles and it is sort of an upside down one of mine. Though I did not look at the other attempts before I did mine.

My attempt

Must be a very special engine with no cylinder 8 and an extra ninth cylinder

No it would be a ford flex (which tries to look like a range rover image)

Came across this news item

Sorry to deflate you :-) But what you have described calculating is the displacement volume not free air delivery. See linky for FAD calculation, FAD is measured at the compressor outlet. Most piston compressors quote the displacement volume not the FAD as the FAD is much lower e.g. as a rough guide 12CFM displacement will be about 8CFM FAD Vane compressors quote FAD as displacement volume does not make sense for their design.
