I second Docs post, if the car made a horrible mechanical noise, then don’t even turn the key again until the timing belt setup has been checked.

Not just by peeling the cover back a bit, but by properly removing it, and checking the tension and timing is totally correct and no FOD

The assumption here is that the sensor has failed...

Don't drive the car another inch until you've checked the timing.

The sensor is easy enough to change. But in this case it wouldn't be my first check.

If you do start with replacing the camshaft sensor, and again , I wouldn't under the circumstances, swap it with a known good one. From memory it can be replaced without taking anything else off. It's on the left hand cylinder head towards the front. Plug is next to it in the cable tray.

Good secondhand genuine one will be fine, but if you insist on getting a new one, then genuine or Bosch only. Don't waste your time on OE equivalent aftermarket rubbish.

President Donald Trump on Sunday tried to justify the fatal US strike on a Venezuelan boat by claiming that 300 million people, presumably Americans, died from drugs last year.. Probably more like 75,000 but 300 million gets more sycophants on board.

Over the summer he claimed he was cutting prescription drug prices by 1,500%, which ― if true ― would bring prices down to negative numbers

Roll on Wednesday for more fakery.

Ah, I see. Exaggeration of something for dramatic effect is now considered "Fake, untruths and lies".

Is that not what the media does every time someone they don't agree with says something contrary to their party line? Like, I don't know, an evening dedicated to doing just that...

If someone says that the sky is blue when it's cloudy in the valley that doesn't make them wrong.

Today's efforts saw the tow bar installation completed along with retrofitting a reversing camera and finishing up the rear quarter paint...

Towbar and camera both function as they should and just needed a spot of coding to make them work. Unfortunately, because it's a 2007 and the folding tow bar is a later option,. there's nothing in the system that will allow me to code in the folding version. That said, it now knows it has a towbar fitted and has trailer recognition to boot. And it's vastly improved now you can walk up to the boot without losing a knee

Whilst I was in there, I reprogrammed the head unit as well. Bizarrely the car it came from had rear entertainment but no phone and no cd changer Fortunately both are a box tick so now work as they should.

Another discovery, although not really a surprise if you stop and think about it, the auto lights sensor also performs an auto wiper function. I obviously ticked that box too and again appears to work as expected.

I need to revisit the rear quarter. The paint match is shocking and today wasn't perfect the best day for painting outside...

From an upgrade perspective, leather and a heated washer bottle are about all that's left to do. Well that and the transfer case

Could probably do a mini series ..
