Trying to do my bit for the planet, I swapped my 7 year old 2.0l petrol Mondeo, which has been absolutely faultless, I’ve only paid for service items, for a 1 year old, 6k, Kuga PHEV, and would like to test the batteries, can anyone recommend an OBD tester which will work on these cars?

As above, came off my MFL estate, (I think), or, less likely, my FL saloon, just rediscovered in garage. Part numbers are:
HL: 90 565 803
Fogs: 90 457 820, 90 457 819
I also have an auto gearbox controller, the triangular piece that fits on the shaft and its cable and socket. I’m not sure whether this is Omega or Carlton, part number is 2 360 over 081798.
Perhaps someone with parts access can positively identify the above parts.
All free for collection or postage costs.

A seriously good bit of literary aviation nostalgia, enhanced by the nod to Ernie Gann’s classic, Fate is the Hunter.

General Discussion Area / Spitfire
« on: 12 July 2021, 10:20:51 »
My daughter very generously treated me to a Spitfire flight for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I had a fabulous trip in MJ627 from Biggin Hill, coincidentally where I first went for aircrew selection, longer ago than I care to remember. The hour long trip took us round several of the old Battle of Britain airfields, and also along the coast past the white cliffs. I persuaded the pilot to do a few aeros including victory rolls, he didn't take much persuading!
I was able to fly the Spit for some minutes and had a wonderful day out. The experience included a full tour of the Heritage Hangar where they build, maintain and display Spitfire, Hurricane, and Messerschmitt aircraft, shown in a programme series on More4. This was also a trip down memory lane, as my qualifying exam as an engine fitter, included doing the valve and ignition timing on a Merlin engine, albeit on a Lanc.
Interestingly, I last saw MJ627 several years ago doing a display at East Kirkby (also home to a Lanc which they hope to get airworthy), flown by ex BBMF pilot (of 24 years at BBMF!) S/L Paul Day. I approached him as he dismounted in the hangar afterwards to congratulate him on the display, to which he said" You're not the police are you?" No doubt as the display was, shall we say, perhaps slightly unconventional, but exhilarating.
A quote attributed to Paul Day was: 'A Lancaster is a waste of four good Merlins'.
