He's probably copied the map off a warez site. Which probably is from a previous map. Or some kiddy has upped the fueling and boost then sold it as a "remap".

Re: What did you do today?
Jag has now lost all the steering wheel functions, horn, cruise, stereo and airbag.
Oh, no it hasn't, they all work now.
Yes, it has, nothing works... horn works... randomly without pressing the horn button.
So, it's now parked up in disgrace and the Merc is pressed back into service. What a shame it was gloriously sunny today

I'm very tempted. He said he can make it smoke, pop and bang the lot. His 2004 A4 does it and it looks so cool though. He alters the timing by 18 degrees and overfuels it. I didn't know you could get a diesel to do that.The Reverend Bluejeans wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 4:37 pmJesus. That'll be a quality job then.
Just. Don't.
I'd rather sit in the coal house with tight shoes on btw.

Re: What did you do today?
Yup the clock spring (in Jaguar speak: Cancelation unit) is fooked. Like Ze Germans type fooked. New one has been acquired (no mean feat as no Jaguar dealer has one or knows when any may become available... according to number one son (who works for JLR) there's more chance of me shagging that Riley bird than one of the electronic units for elderly Jags ever being made again... ever!) and the car is booked into a local Jaguar specialist in ten days' time for it to be fitted while one waits no less.

Re: What did you do today?
Last Sunday I discovered that my garage door was ignoring the remote and thus remaining stubbornly shut. Then my neighbour told me that he had seen three squirrels going in and out of the roof. Oh. I was away for three days but this morning my local 'fix things' man came along and had a look. Yep the rats with a good PR agent had had a nibble on the wiring. Bastards. He has got the door operating again though and I have disposed of two of the verminous rodents via the use of my neighbour's air rifle, he said there only appears to be one going in there now. Just awaiting a call/response from a local pest control bloke to get his arse in gear and put in the poison/traps. Tomorrow fixer man is going to start painting the walls white which will mean moving the Impala outside for a while as I like it in its black livery and not being covered in white splodges.
