Updated the software on the NLI
What you need to do is update the software on my screen and everything hanging off the MOST, so I can update the bloody Satnav map ;D ;D

I have the power.......but possibly not the software old enough for yours (guessing its not pathfinder). pus our engineering tools are 'unlocked'.....

Don't worry - it's got a windscreen, so all he needs is a Tom Tom to stick on it... :-X

TOPix with dealer level access will do the firmwares ;).

I have the updated maps and key, its just the system doesn't seem to recognise the USB. Its Gen2.1 HDD navigation system.

Those stupid things have a habit of flying out of open side windows when they invariably screw you over. Apparently.

Today i tried to find the way back to normal conditions.

Early last week i changed the camshaft sensor, but the motor control lamp was still on. So i checked the cables around the sensor today. Cable at pin 3 near the connector was broken.
Now my old lady runs like new. Motor control lamp is off.

Washed and polished the trolley. Just the inside to do tomorrow.

Also need some trim restorer as the plastics could use some...

Hopefully next week will see all the bits delivered ready for fitting next weekend.

Oil change on my elite with Fully Synth.

Not had one since 202,000 miles, it’s now on 221,996.

Still crying out for a cambelt kit, overdue on time and miles

Must do better  :-[

Bring it over here James, I’ll do it. :y

New Brembo pads on the front plus brake fluid changed, on the 190. Pads had just got down to the metal so had my moneys worth out of them.  :)

Stuck some tape over the front nearside window to try and reduce the glass I have to clear up thanks to yet another druggie chav who decided to kick the nearside front door in last Thursday. the ba***rd actually came into the garden and was caught on CCTV along with his mates who hung around outside and booted the door near the top with the result being a dented door and glass everywhere.  but I've got a replacement coming from omegaspareparts which should be here tomorrow or Wednesday hopefully.

Drove the Mondeo home slowly from Surrey using the skinny space saver, after my front offside tyre quickly went down yesterday.  ::)

No puncture, so I'm not sure why it went down so quickly but the tyre is knackered as the inside side wall has a couple of 'eggs'!  Only done 5000 miles on it as well!  >:(
