Piss balled a bit more with the HDD in the Jag, but I seem to be finding a million and one options that don't resolve it, and not a one that does...

Take your credit card to the dealer.

Leave it there, with the car.

Simple  :y

Working on it......but not in the office this week to follow up.
Aye, thanks.

You know me, like to have a tinker, learn as much as I can about it.  As the HDD is trashed, ideal time to have a play :)

You mean Tuesday. You don't work to Indian time yet :D

Thanks :y.  Can you ask him does it need adjusting for the car, I've read it might need CCF piddled around with? Or to save that (as not sure my programming stuff is robust enough always), could I just swap HDD over, as I presume the programming is just on the board, with HDD holding stuff like maps, gracenote database  and audio CD images.


Cheers, much appreciated :y

Seriously considering putting some electricity in the Pussy, as its been sat unused/unloved for a while.

Might put the centre console back together, as I might need it tomorrow. If I CBA.

Drove it up north (above Watford Gap, so proper up north), drove it along 2 runways, parked it up. Several hours later, did the reverse.

Its looking very dirty now.

Well yesterday, been getting the odd coolant level warning on the daily, found the remnants of the float in the reservoir (don't know where the plastic top clip is...). Had a new reservoir in the shed so put that on the project car then put its reservoir on the daily.

You might want to find the retainer... It's just the wrong size and might find its way into the plumbing :'(
