The ECU is in the car, not the gearbox. As long as speed sensors and selector switches are removable, the Carlton bits should bolt onto the Omega B one.

I’m rubbish at history, I’d always thought that a Prince Albert was a genital piercing. Every days a school day.

The biggest hurdle will be the bolt pattern. That said, all the Carlton ancillary parts should swap over.

Fortunately the bloke knew I just wanted a halfpounder, delivered on a nice china plate, with a knife and fork.
A couple of years back, their famous Bender in a Bun got renamed Mr Bendy. Clearly that is too much for middle class Oxfordian types with nothing better to do, and has now called Pork Bendy.

Retrieved TPC from Gatwick Long stay. The ground all down the right side was covered in glass.
No damage or evidence and tampering on my car, so can only assume that it was less interesting than whatever was parked next to it
Someone had a shitty end to their holiday

As long as it contacts a clean point on the chassis or the battery itself, then whatever works. As long as the battery is connected to the same metal.
Also having more than one ground connection from the engine to the chassis isn't an issue.

I think in their case, it means Before Ramadan because C isn't an Arabic letter

« on: 25 June 2025, 14:43:07 »Thing is the media focuses on individual words and phrases, not the whole context because it suits the narrative to treat Trump as a shouty buffoon. That whole press section was nearly 5 minutes, not a single sentence.Trump often says the quiet part out loud.
Yesterday his word of the day was f*uck.....today it is 'scum' when describing CNN.
I think he was wrong yesterday with his un presidential language. Benjamin Netanyahu knows exactly what he's doing, the Ayatollahs not so much though as they have too much faith in fairy stories.

Do you honestly believe that the general public has any concept of what Iran's capabilities were before the weekend?
Didn't think so. Why then would we know the whole capabilities now?
What is certain is that, to misquote the UN Nuclear chappie, the.Iran of today is not the same Iran as a week ago.

It doesn't matter how smooth the engine is, the light is on for a reason.
If everything checks out then you could try swapping the O2 sensors front to back and see if the trims reverse. The trims are based on the difference between them and it may be that the fault lies in the other end of the measurement.
