good morning Ben welcome to the family/club

  have a good look around if you haven't done so already  loads to look at   and put some photos up when you have time 

Ron

ok mate thanks 

i will let you know how i & kitty get on when its done 

Hi all,I will make a date to meet up and meet every one,i will bring my x type,

So we have 6 members so far keep going  guys  keep updating the list Paul 

so we are defo going for the 19th sept yeah i will be able to add a few more to our list 

Ron 

it all depends on the year of the car some have electronic with a sensor some don't they tend to stick a fair bit and the eml keeps coming on  and i have been told it will help with accelerator.

response 

 normally if will give them a good run it sometimes clears it but its not 100% so im taking the car off the rd at the w/end taking it all off  inlet manifold etc and give it all a good clean out and put the blanking plate in 

reset the the code and see what happens.

Paul not an mot fail so ive been told       and putting the blanking plate in gives the car more accelerator response (quicker) a bit more get up & gone rather than get up & go so to speak .

ron  

hi all 

        i have been thinking of blanking the egr off  NOW some say its best to take the inlet manifold off and clean/flush it all out after blanking egr  would love to know what members think about this. as their is conflicting  reports 

ron 

i have a guy in reading berkshire 

fenn motor works  Bennet rd rg2

ok thanks for the info Paul 

regards Ron 

i have power fold + heated mirrors on my 2009 se x type that works on the button inside the car but not on the key fob ??? 

any clues someone 

Ron 

could be a number of  things  coro      try  1. the metal  door rods inside or plastics connections may have come apart or broken   2.relay/s    3.c/ locking motor/s  4. lock's but very unlikely.

hope this helps 

Ron 

welcome eddie 

Ron

you must have some bad joints if you have already oiled them up, try a spray lube that may work i.e wd40 or gt85 is the one i use for my door & boot  hinges etc 

hope it helps Ron & good luck with it

hi Chris welcome to the club 

Hi Damian 

                welcome to the club, loads to look at in forums etc and when you get chance put some photo s up 

regards ron 

Thanks Ron :)

 

It is next to impossible for me to get a day off during the week at the moment as I have some of my staff on long term sick. So much so, that I'm having to lecture and run tutorials myself

 

Happy to be a focal point for the admin though.

 

I live within easy walking distance of the new JLR plant in Wolverhampton. I that one of the factories you were considering by any chance?

same here paul i work mon to fri so it will be gaydon for me with the family and the grand kids at least they can have a fun day too. 

ron 

SO GAYDON HERE WE COME 

gaydon is for more of a family thing with picnic areas cafe with a fair bit to do though the day so im up for gaydon myself.

the factory tours was an option that one of the members chucked in as a maybe  but this has too be a week day tour and at £35 per-person if more than nine is booked and if that date is available plus has to be paid up front to confirm booking 

ron  

just spoken to my contact they can get us a discount of £10 per person for a group booking  so its £35.

but they dont do tours at weekends only mon am/pm to thurs am/pm and one friday am only no weekends at all

sorry folks :(  :(  :( 

ron  

at the moment the tours for the factory are coming out a fair bit of money £45 per person unless i can get one of my contacts to get us a deal but will need to know confirmed members and others   wanting to go as spaces are being  booked  up fast ( waiting for a phone call today so will keep you updated)

regards Ron
