Meanwhile, I am reduced to trying to figure out why one of the the Lexus' screen wash jets isn't hitting high enough on the screen. Bloody unreliable Jap crap



It's the one way valve knackered - I know, I know, I don't know why this is the problem either.
My Volvosaurus does this a couple of times a year on the offside jet.
I have one of those air blower pistol-type contraptions that simply blast any muck or crud around. It's only actually useful for cleaning out the internals of the Dyson vacuum and for the washer jets. I just press the tip of it against the washer jet and let it have it with the compressed air.
Works every time.

Local buyer has parked it in his courtyard in pride of place but it doesn't seem to have moved in 10 days.

I'm trying to "bump into" the new owner to see how he's getting on with it.

Meanwhile back in the real world the TVR issues seem to have been resolved with a replacement MAF sensor and a bit of tweaking and a lot pf help with data interpretation from a very nice fellow TVR owner.

Wife was walking the dog and spoke to new owner at the weekend. He's delighted with the Range Rover and says it's a testament to my engineering skills that it drives so well and in such good condition biggrin

Now I know he doesn't hat me I can drop by with the original propshaft I found in the garage in case it's any use to him.
