  1. Heated Seats??

    in General TR Technical

    Posted

    I fitted an eBay seat heater kit to the MX5 seats I’ve got in BUO (TR6) not difficult but obviously had to dismantle the seats and strip the covers of them from memory about 11/2 a seat, the kit I fitted had5 heat setting but to be honest if I was doing it again would save some cash and just have the kit with 2 heat settings

    Many,Many thanks to Rob, Mick and Graham.

    just checked and it was an earth problem.

    Stupidly forgot to connect the earth strap to one of the bell housing bolts. Just done this and everything appears fine.

    Now got to reinstall the interior which I spent ages cleaning.

    Do you think I need a new slave cylinder as I guess the seals have gone.

    Once again thanks so much for your help, I shouldn’t have panicked and stripped out the interior.

    At best it won’t have done anything for longevity of the seals so if it was me I would replace it.

    The plenum panel on my TR5 has rotted out and the repair panel isn’t available, is it possible to use a 4a plenum panel and weld plates on the 4a air vent holes or is the panel a different shape altogether ?

    Graham - as you are in Aylesbury, best to purchase the top grade of Esso which, although the pump will be labelled E5, according to informed sources on this Forum, will not contain any Ethanol.

    I am fortunate in that there's an Esso station on the Long Crendon road just off the Thame bypass.

    Yes was in there yesterday topping up BUO at £1.70 a litre :o

    There is one. Its called Petrol Prices you down load the app to your phone. I used to use it to find LPG stations. It does Diesel, unleaded and super unleaded. It shows the nearest station/s and comparative prices.

    Thanks Phil didn’t know about this will get it downloaded

    A friend of mine was showing me his new car the other day, its a Tesla, now can't say I like the look of the thing or even sitting in it, a bit soulless for me, but what I did find brilliant is that the IPAD thing that passes for a dashboard has an app loaded on it that shows the location of all the charging stations. Was thinking that it would be really useful to have an app on your phone that would show the location of all petrol stations that supply E5.

    My local station has only ever sold 'vin ordinaire' (at 'vin extraordinaire' prices:ph34r:) sure there must be a lot of local service stations that do the same thing. Just thinking it would be nice to know where to go to get 'the good stuff' 

    Anyway if anybody is clever enough to do it and make a fortune in doing so you can have that one on me, perhaps the FOBHVC might be interested it does sort of fit with their 'mission statement'

  16. 4G Broadband

    in Social Scene

    Posted

    Looking to purchase a property that’s a little of the beaten track. No mains gas/water/ drains. It it does have mains  electricity and a very big barn ! But it doesn’t have a phone line either so was looking at one of the 4G boxes that have an aerial to provide broadband, anybody have any experience of these and what the download speeds are like ?

    After 42 years at BT I should probably know more about this than I do, but a bit like when I was at when I was at school I didn’t pay enough attention B)
