Ooop, meant to say/add:
if you haven't got lockers you'll stop with a wheel spinning and that's where a shaft will break if it's going to. If you HAVE got lockers you'll get further and then break something else in a different fashion
Another (perhaps unanswerable) question is how many breakages come from misuse of lockers, EG trying to turn with the front one in?
Rob - you're new to LR wiring aren't ya
Jon - have a good look at red relays, some will be what you're after but it's not unknown to have relays, lights-on warning buzzers, heated screen timers, glow plug timers, and missing ECU components housed in little red "relays". Should mention wipers on it somewhere or at least have "timer" or a symbol of a wiper on it... then again, knowing LR maybe not
Hang the joystick upside-down with a weight on the handle and it'll keep the vehicle level at all times! OK it's of limited use, but would be interesting...
What RPR said - if you haven't got lockers you'll stop with a wheel spinning and that's where a shaft will break if it's going to. Shock loads are hugely stressful on things compared to steadily applied pressure - that's why we all have hammers for removing rusted parts
You can break anything if you try hard enough.
Now there's an answer to crime if ever I saw it - Police trucks!
Being chased, shot at, etc. you perhaps stand a chance but against being hit by THAT? Who'd go a for a life of crime?
The ones they squished were shells not "full" cars - still painful to watch though!
The minis were real though - the A pillars cracked so they weren't worth bringing home.
Glad it worked!
Electronic tachos work from the coil*, counting pulses as the coil fires. When you turn the ignition on you cause a pulse to the coil, which can make the tacho jump. I see the same thing on the MegaSquirt at switch-on, the needle jumps up to about 800 then drops.
* = Before some (other) pedant points it out, some tachos work from the alternator W terminal and some work from the ECU. Also if you have the ignition amp under the coil there is a dedicated tach feed from that for the ECU / tacho.
