Re: Engine Balancing
Personally I’d want it spot on. If it’s measurable then it’s correctable.

Re: Engine Balancing
Balance the crank first, then add stuff. There’s no point in balancing the whole lot from the off.

Re: Can this be true
Ok, apparently Fiat Chrysler introduced a security gateway after some hackers managed to switch off a Jeep while it was in motion, that was back in2015. But yes you’re correct that Posh Spice was involved in the design of the interior of the Evoque. JLR have over the air updates for various function...

Re: Can this be true
I’ve asked someone who will know for sure. I’ll let you know his response later, probably once he’s stopped laughing.

Re: Another engine steady-bar solution?
I thought it was bolted to the bellhousing? Unconventional but as long as there’s a engine-chassis earth it’d work.

Re: LED bulbs anyone?
The solid state flasher is for led bulbs. Led bulbs draw much less current than normal bulbs, so if the standard flasher is retained the indicators will flash too quickly.

Re: LED bulbs anyone?
Yes, the same style of bulb is available in amber for indicators and they do a sideline bulb that’s the same colour as a normal bulb, so avoiding the white light that looks wrong on a classic.

Re: LED bulbs anyone?
I’m obviously using them in the same lights as Phil, but judging by their design they’ll work fine in a saloon as they distribute light in the same direction as a regular bulb.
