RAC man made me laugh!

What he meant is that they'll connect to t' internet and ask questions in here ;-)

i know that :-) when i broke down with my 88lw the dutch aa guy asked me where the plug was, i told him it was at the back, next to the towhitch. i need them to transport me, if it is fixable, i repair it myself. just like other landy owners. cheers, the dutch nutter

No Problem !

Just tell him to connect it here.

Nice one John

in similar vein, I assume you've seen the virtual harley?

So what we need to design is a fake diags socket. RAC man turns up, plugs laptop in, PIC or whatever correctly responds to laptop with 'F**ked' as diagnostic code ... RAC man gets very confuzzled! :-) So what's the interface protocol then ...?

Yes thanks, I have come across that one before.

It's funny, but it's not very interactive is it.

There must be more could be done with that idea, but I could never get my head round Shockwave Flash :-(

Cheers John

Hmm, the AA bloke that attended us didn't even have access to the correct tyre pressures for my SIII and I have bog standard 750R16 fitted as per the original so no excuses. Greg

I thought the "correct tyre pressures" were generally sneered at around here for good reasons that now slip my feek and weeble mind?

One reason I found is that if you run the recommended tyre pressures without a goodish load in the back most of the time, you end up with a bald strip down the middle of the tyre. That's with crossply tyres, radials aren't so critical.

I run 28psi, against the 40 psi I've seen recommended for a Series II.

Of course, in the mud, you need to fiddle sometimes to get some grip.

Tciao for Now!

John.

that's mostly on discos - the SIII on 7.50s doesn't do too badly on book pressures, although if you mostly run light then the rear ones are too high.
