If the float pops off, it's because the plastic has degraded. Pieces of the washer can then enter the cooling system. Worst case the whole washer gets into a pipe and then you run the risk of cooking the engine.Never seen or heard of that before.
The soft plastic on the inside of the front door handles has become gooey and sticky, a bit like plasticine. I scraped it all out on the drivers door handle and scrubbed the residue out with some solvent which has improved it, but then it started raining so I'll attack the passenger door handle another time.Oh how I hate that soft touch finish. My car is laden with it, and just when I think I've completely removed it, I find another button somewhere, grrrr. This weekend, I noted it was the back of the cruise cancel button I'd missed.
I'm pondering buying these to replace them altogether, but not sure of the colour match.
My tools of choice are IPA and a microfibre, with cotton buds to get in the corners - obviously with buttons you have to be less harsh than handles, else you scrap off the black coating as well, leaving a white button.
They pull like a train to around 125mph, then have a very slight lag for a few mph and then pull like a train again to the speed limiter.Allegedly. So you heard down the pub. Or a mate told you.
An upstanding member of the community like you wouldn't know such things first hand.
A feature I would REALLY like on the Jag - both of 'em - is a clock that can adjust itself. Every other bloody car has been able to since the 1980s. No idea what JLR were smoking when they suffered CBA to implement something so simple.
Found interesting tool.
Drove it to Pickering for a short break. These diesel’s are in their element just cruising along motorways. A journey of 230 miles and it cost me peanuts in fuel.As soon as mine gets beyond around 70mph, it has a drink problem worthy of any AA attendee, and virtually always returns 32mpg (reality, not the trip computer) over an entire tank. Last tank was 35.9mpg - she'd used it for work and to nip to Oxford, and clearly she is more reformed than me...
I've had 67mpg from her little diesel going to work over a 70 mile run to central Brumingham, but I was keeping it under the instant ban territory...
I set the car alert to 70mph.
