Yes, come on Rangie, we need photos

Give him a chance. He's got to polish it first! 

I don't think the RR mob are as bad as the Jaguar forums over polishing, and advising to take it to a dealer to top up the washer fluid....

When I had my heart valves replaced, my heart wasn’t functioning on its own so they fitted an external pacemaker. The wires went in at stomach level and up to my heart. When they were sure that I was breathing unaided, they went to pull the wires out, but after almost three months the wires had become fused into my body and wouldn’t come out, so they cut them off flush with my skin and left them in. I was convinced that I may get some grief when going/returning from holiday but it hasn’t happened yet.     Not related to the wires but I always seem to get pulled to one side for them to run the wand over me. I have no objection to that if stricter checks catch the bad guys. 

You should have asked them to leave a couple of terminals so you could easily get a jump start if needs be! 

 

Well technically the wires are still there connected to my heart, with the other ends of the wire at stomach level just below the surface of my skin so that’s still an option. 

Hi mate, the colour is called "Gay Gold" here on the forum.  I had a 2.2 4pot the same colour, i miss it terribly. Welcome aboard.

Though I mostly used 3rd party diag tools for speed, if its something they can perform, as SDD does take an age to set up and get to the point when you can actually do something.

In fairness, it is faster on the XE than XJ, due to less options it has to check and communicate with

Are you using Topix or Pathfinder?

I would remove it and clean it anyway

That car is SDD, assume Pathfinder won't work on it?

Already removed as "cleaned" the hole part (which wasn't too bad), but not poked anything too far down, or used chemicals.

I always get pulled in scanners for a possible metalic object in my thigh, so get the pat down routine.  Not, AFAIK, there is no metal in my thigh, and their handheld scanners done see it.

Like YZ, I must have a guilty face, as if I get through the scanner OK, I get pulled for a swab test

Fortunately, I've never had to endue the full test with the finger

Ive met you, and you do very much look like a wrongun. 

No, Mr Albs, you were looking in the mirror

Is the MAP sensor ok, reporting decent readings, and clean?

I'll see if I can get some readings and post up over weekend.  Though the car is fine, right up until a few seconds before it pops up RP...
