  1. If you look at the Lens you can see the area that needs to be masked it has a different pattern http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/img/p/4033-4007-thickbox.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee169/bigherb/AssyMasking640.jpg Tim Edited by - tbird on 30 Jun 2012 11:29:08 Edited by - tbird on 30 Jun 2012 11:31:13
  2. Foot on step ready to go, think Rik is still in the queue before me though 😬 Tim
  3. Nifty's prototyping pics here they come up on For Sale very occasionaly but you have to be quick, also occasional rumours tht some more might be made Tim
  4. I think you have hit the nail on the head, "modern", well it was designed 85, launched around 88 so its 24years old, also slightly under powered for the car, I think every other freelander variant is more economical than the 1.8. Bit like the early 2.0 petrol discovery which was also a dog, even the V8 was more economical when driven carefully. But with LPG you are getting an equivalent to around 36mpg which is not that bad, Tim
  5. Landy claim 24 to 27 combined so still think 18 from LPG is in the ballpark, thread here also suggest 18mpg on LPG Tim
  6. Grubbster, if the printer and your WiFi hub are relatively close you could use ethernet cable to connect directly to wireless hub and you would have a wireless printer again Tim
  7. LPG only around 75% of calorific value compared to petrol so that would equate to around 24 MPG which seems just about OK for 1.8 Freelander, around town Tim Edited by - tbird on 24 Jun 2012 20:26:20
  8. the wigly amps and volts ? thats the problem shouldn't be using the wiggly type should be using the flat type Tim need to have a think about real fault not got any diags to hand, sounds like a couple of reversed wires somewhere
  9. 4 of these double saddle connector and some heavy duty cable 35mm cable should do the trick Tim
  10. Maybe people have used the Carbon Mods carbon skinning kit or here Tim Edited by - tbird on 30 May 2012 17:48:33
  11. Lead acid batteries do not respond well to being allowed to go Flat, so a 3 year old battery that has been flat a couple of times may be on its way to battery heaven, not something that is easy to test for other than by how long it can supply current for and at what rate, so if its full of electrolyte, fully charged and drain is the normal 250mA and it goes flat in a couple of days or so its FUBAR-ED (technical term) 😬 Don't have experience of other batteries for 7 but there have been lots of threads on that example here Tim Edited by - tbird on 28 May 2012 23:23:44
  12. the "normal" passive drain would not kill battery in 2 days if it was fully charged on Saturday, can you get a DVM in series with battery, with ignition off, but FIA isolator,if fitted, in on position, to measure passive current drain, would expect iro 250 - 300 mA which would take around 10+ days to flatten battery Have you checked electrolyte is up to top of cells, has it ever been completely flattened in the past, is it original battery - so 3 years old Tim Edited by - tbird on 28 May 2012 22:50:53
  13. people always asked similar question when we had a water bed but if you do the maths based on a bath in a bathroom, the water bed, and even more so a birthing pool, load up floors more uniformly so shouldn't be a problem Cast iron bath approx 200kg 60 gallons of water in bath approx 230 kg average Lady approx 60kg so nearly 500kg not only spread over a much smaller area but usually sitting on 4 small feet. I suspect a washing machine or Freezer would have a higher loading, as long as the floorboards are not bouncing up and down or showing signs of sag at the walls I would have thought it would be fine
  14. seem to vaguely remember being told that this can happen when air gets into bulb Tim

    CR2016

    Anyone got a use for CR2016 button cells I accidentally 😔 (don't ask) ordered 100 of these instead of the correct battery, yours for a £10 + P+P Eunicell lithium CR2016 in 5 piece strips Tim
  18. Thread here on temp and sender and fan fault which might be useful Tim
  19. CA If its any help my Fans usualy kick in somewhere between 98 and 102 on the stack, in Germany last year, stuck in traffic on a hot day and the water was up to 110 with fans running and the oil temp not far behind, I wasn't happy but to be honest there were no problems, I had a chat with CC when I got back and they assured me that wasn't a problem and the CSRs run hot anyway. Having said that you said you couldn't here the fans running stationary at 108, that would concern me, you will definitely here them when they kick in if you are stationary with hood down. even at tickover in the garage (doors open) or on the drive the temp will get high enough to kick in the fans, so if you take off nose cone you will see if they start up by 110 Like yours, normal running with plenty of airflow, no fans and about 85C welcome to BC btw Tim Edited by - tbird on 26 Apr 2012 17:03:25
