Snake Charmer

Our 2001 Y reg Volvo V40 T4 is compliant, the identical 6 week older X reg isn't as the g/kg isn't listed on the V5.

I fitted a pair to my '95 Speed Triple, made a big difference. Laborious to rebuild though!

Just to stop them getting airborne if the train reaches the magic 82mph?

Rare beast that Astra estate.

In style too. 😎

Ah, OK. I just Googled him and found a post on the French car forum from January. Sounds like he had an awful time at such a young age as the average diagnosis is around 70.

My condolences for the loss of your friend.

Possibly, I might be mistaking the wee smile as a moustache.

REV seems to have a smile on his face in this photo.

Photos did not load earlier, that is a classy looking car. 😎

Is this similar? 😁

I wonder if the Ministry funded development and production so AC were contractually obligated to supply their product until costs were recovered and demand met.

GT40!

Skynet begins at Lidl.........

10DU12 is a standard engineering split bush glacier bearing so don't worry about replacing them in future, the kingpin would be a little more problematic but you have spares. The upright forging would probably be on the endangered unobtanium list.

Saga lout! 😁

Wheel bearing?

Seems odd, AC were rather fond of grease nipples or did Invacar do things differently?

Great to see some progress. 😎 Are these jockey wheels going as training stabilisers? 😁

Tried the other car tonight, after a few brake applications and SBC recharges the white warning came up so I'm missing something on the reset. Frustrating.

I drove my car home with a burst rear hard line and the audible alarm noise was painful. This car nearly made it home before the audible alert came up on ths M25, that was a fun trip for the last few miles with next to nothing on the pedal and a parking brake. The main code seems to be the "Service Threshold Reached C235C", once that comes up all sorts of codes appear. I thought l had cracked it before but must have missed something as I'm still finding my way around the software. All l can achieve fault wise running the extensive tests is a recommendation to bleed the system. I have my pressure bleeder modified and working now so that will get done then run the tests again. I would quite happily fit new motor brushes and a pressure accumulator but that test OK. Worst case scenario is I swap my current cars SBC over when I put this car back on the road so buying a pressure accumulator would not be a total loss.

Spent most of Sunday sat in the other S211 with the laptop and a few beers mainly trying to bring the SBC into line, finally have the screaming red dash warning and white "Service Brake Visit Workshop" warning extinguished but not holding my breath it won't come back. Down to 4 codes at the moment, only one I need to work out what's causing the fault and that may be the rear interior light, something to do with glass protection. The rest are down to tge drivers door mirror and rear light off my car I swapped out.

Scary things, the ones I have had 40 years have spent most of that time in storage, hate using them and always try to find an alternative method. We have one of these at work, works well.

Looks expensive and fragile, is it all plastic?

Yes you can but when I have done it from another forum the text comes up highlighted in white. I tansfer it to another text editor then paste across.
