JLS Land Rover specialist in Milton Keynes did a forced regeneration that has worked and the car had no codes. The problem is the Regen should be automatic and for some reason it did not sort itself out. We have taken it home and we are going to see if the problem reoccurs.

I did think I was teaching my Grandmother how to suck eggs  🤣
I thought it should be an automatic regen and you'd have codes.

Hope it doesn't happen again. Those folks at JLS don't come cheap (neither do the Mercedes folk over at Kingston - ask me how I know)

I had a coupe of ZXs as company cars in the mid 1990. Then in 2009 I bought my own 1.9D Avantage, followed in 2010 by a TD Aura. In 2011 I bought a TD Avantage Estate just because it was there. My son and several friends borrowed it for a while and while I had sold mine, Mrs6C said we should keep the estate. I have no doubt it would get me there but again does not peak my interest.

I loved that Aura at the time.

The Range Rover would still feel like cheating and against the spirit of the event.

Back some time ago I got very happy on drink with a group of friends and we thought it would be a good idea to ride mopeds to the Isle of Man TT! In the morning we realised that was a bad idea and the trip was downgraded to put mopeds in the back of one of the guys Dodge Pick up and take them out when we got there! Unfortunately the guy with the pick up pulled out but I had already bought my Honda SH50-H for the trip.

Sitting at my desk this morning I realise why I struggle to get on with my work when the top layer is far more interesting!

The bonnet cable came for the Error 404 today. it is 157cm long so I think there is a good chance it will fit.

Anybody about over the weekend who fancies giving me a hand fit it?

Saturday is fine with me.

I was planning to take the DS to a show but I would much rather advance the Error 404 project.
