Thanks.

Ah! I wonder would mega squirt be able to output that signal.....

And an airstream to live in. Sorted.

Dear God! What's the problem? You Obviously aren't in the market for a reliable economical runabout, are you? So......... Go flat out! Buy the unreliable gas guzzling car that will make you feel alive! (I've just bought a 4.6 for one of my series projects - life is too short for toyota priuses)

Ah, well. Never mind, enh?

Quick question, how "standalone" is the abs system on a P38a? Does it talk to its fellow computers, or is it happy on its own? I have a crazy plan......

One day I'll understand what you just said. Today isn't that day.

I expect I'll need that!

If you ever believed that they care, take a look at the vat rate on home insulation, and compare it to the vat rate on home electricity. Big business wins.

You might consider getting a more expensive one. It might last longer?

Why would they subsidise? Think of the vested interests. HM Govt get more revenue and contributions from the sales of new cars. Plus the major German corporates still have huge influence in German politics.

More reading! Thanks.

Yes, the electric motor sits where a diff would sit, outputting, via a reduction drive, to two drive shafts. Repeated at the other axle for AWD. The torque is available throughout the rev range hence no need for gears, thus it's effectively in top gear all the time.

I think it will help understand what the sensors are telling the ECU. Which will help me translate to the tuner studio program.

Could be autocorrelation. Or autoclave. Or autocue? That thing on phones that ruins your ability to spell.

How dare you! My Volvo looks a hell of a lot better than that. And is more reliable. The Swedes are quite symmetrical.

My oscilloscope arrived. £20. Some assembly required.

Plus, all fixings are metric (so far....)

No apology necessary, I find I go around the houses a lot, so often revisit old ideas that I've rejected previously. I prefer to think of it as "willing to admit I'm wrong".

It's a 17H block, with the plastic tensioner, so I think it's definitely a 2495cc. The filter might have been changed over from a series, as it was in a series motor before I bought it. Here's another question. I'm fitting a series oil cooler to this, because I have one and it's a lightweight, but, is the TDI 200 oil cooler filter housing better than the series sandwich block? On account of it having a thermostat? I'll plumb the return direct into the sump.

What else will last?

Ah! Interesting. Very interesting.

What goes here?

Engine cleaning commences. I know, I know. Chemical is quicker. This is therapeutic. And allows to see the strange castings and random holes.

They are awesome. You can set it so it only needs the brake to come to a halt. A wall of torque. I'd love to fit one of the motors to a series. Straight to the transfer box. No need for gears. Fill the bonnet with batteries and also where the tanks were and you'd have a decent range. A snorkel for the motor cooling and you'd be done. There is a company that has deciphered the computers and has a new control box so you can control it on a column shift lever.
