Rusty Bucket, do you know how much weight was taken out of the flywheel?

But he doesn’t have a standard MG Metro engine...

What if someone recommended a AAA and you melted a piston?

There’s a piece of software that you can download that will give you a rough starting point. https://www.winsu.co.uk/

Personally I’d want it spot on. If it’s measurable then it’s correctable.

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

Ban IVF and make adoption more accessible?

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...

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

As with any mods, you need to decide what you want it to do.

Stuffed under a bolt head would fit in with the rest of the handy work

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

Whilst not original there is nothing wrong with the cable(s) being used as the earth cable.

Maybe, but it doesn't bode well for the standard of work in the rest of the car.

Among the interesting ‘modifications’ I noticed this, any ideas 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.

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.

Any good?

The ebay price is for a pair inc vat, so actually a fraction cheaper than the webshop.

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.

This one.

They come on in two brightness levels, all the leds are lit all the time.

John,

The solution is earlier in this thread.
