Yeah Rik! It's unlikely that I'll be coming for a game of Hide and Seek. :D

[MattyC]

I'll be here, however due to me doing my back in the other day and not being able to walk over the weekend, and being told to take it easy, I may have a dirty car (seem to be picking up tonnes of flies on the way to work and back) :(

[RichandPaula]

Hmm, This Sunday?

We might be going past on the way back from MG Live...:shrug:

IF we make it, please try to ignore the road dirt and dead flies stuck on the front of the car as it's just done an approx. 300 mile round trip!

Maybe. Well i'll see you all there anyway. I've got my daughter again this week, too.

[vindaloo]

Just back from holiday yesterday and spent most of today in hospital after a small procedure under a general anaesthetic so feeling a little groggy and tired. I was booked in to go to Harewood on Sunday but as I'm not allowed to drive until Sunday decided it's a bit too much for me.

With this meet being close to me, I should be able to make it for a couple of hours.

Looks like we may have a dry day for it today does anybody have a couple of spare fir tree clips they could bring as my ocd wife has put mine "away somewhere" and for the life of me I can't find them, my own fault for leaving them on kitchen table lol.
Anyway door cards are off and I would appreciate it guys

Thanks to everyone for coming today, looks like the spanners have come out of hiding again for a bit of action on Sid's car :D

[vindaloo]

Yes, reasonable turnout. Enjoyed it as always.

[Godfer]

Thanks to everyone for coming today, looks like the spanners have come out of hiding again for a bit of action on Sid's car :D

Rich, as ever, your kind and knowledgeable actions were much appreciated!!! :bowdown:

Alas, upon return home my motor has suffered some bizarre electrical maladies!

The remote locking has gone haywire. Upon return and attempted operation it simply didn't! Thinking battery I tried my other fob. Again nowt! Indeed, upon pressing the 'open' button (on each fob) there was a single mechanical click from the locking mechanism and nothing at all from the 'lock' buttons. The in car button operated as per expectation. Moreover, the key in the lock only operated the drivers door! I checked all fuses anyhow...all were sound.

Then it got weird! With the engine running, the remote locking operated with the other fob (and vice a versa).

Then I noticed the trip was resetting after each ignition start. Took the car 'round the block to confirm trip operation - and it did as per expectation, yet reset upon switch off (and subsequent restart).

Then the remote locking worked again!!!

Any thoughts? I'm gonna post it upon Technical Help and canvass opinion of the wider Club

Pass!

I only ran the wires up to the vanity mirrors!

Have you tried battery off for 30 mins?

[Godfer]

Rich, I know. I'm thinking (I know it's dangerous!!! ) with the fitting of the illuminated visors, is it possible the 'systems' need to 'learn' given a new electrical connection is in place?

I will disconnect the battery at work in the 'morrow if the gremlins persist! The remote locking function resumed, the trip resetting is bizarre!!! :shrug:

[carguy143]

Thanks again to all those who turned out, it was a great meet. The carvery was excellent, too. Let's just hope it continues.

I remember Rich saying the connectors were near the light switch (LSM), it could be possible that some wires were disturbed in that area.

Rik.

[andyg2011]

Great to see you guys again and new faces

I liked the V8 that turned up too :drool4:

The bite to eat we had was also good,


:smilie_re:Hoping you get your car sorted Sid ;)

[lightningmark]

The mystery deepens! On my way home from today's meet I noticed my trip had reset on both trip meters on ipk, exactly like the battery had been disconnected but then I realised I still had radio stations stored so no.
Reckon we must have been subject to a weird magnetic field lol

Really??? What are the chances?

I bet it was the glider guy, must have been testing some new hi tech weapon. The baddies must be planning on confusing us to death.

[RichandPaula]

Sorry we didn't make it guys, we didn't get back from MG Live @ Silverstone until late afternoon.

Hope you all had a good meet. :)

[firefly]

Excellent meeting yesterday - hopefully will be able to make the July event.
