Good news! I fixed the iPaq last night. I pulled it apart and found a piece of plastic from a trim piece aropund the SD card slot opening had broekn off and fallen inside the SD card slot and was preventing correct contact.

The problem with the keys was that the ribbon cable from the front keypad was dislodged.

Bad news! I tried to turn on my Solis SL90 espresso machine this morning and it won't power up. The lights come on for a fraction of a second then go out. Out of warranty, I'm afraid.



Ah, well. Back to plunger coffee.

Not very often.

Although a few blokes now ask if I washed my car. Every time I do, we have major problems.

5 SISTERS, boy you do have bad luck, I had 2 older sisters and always a younger one, to get even with!!!!!

The above problem has been worked out - the unit will switch on when the room is warm. So I just have to wait until the house warms up.

But..... Today the heater element has gone leaky to ground and is tripping off the house ELCB/RCD.

Just to bring everyone up to speed on the vibration on the P38A (remember from an earlier post in this thread that I thought it had dropped a cylinder, well, it's a broken flex plate in the transmission. The plate is availabe but the new flywheel is not available in Australia so it's a 3 week wait for it to come from the UK).

A while back I bought a new remote keyfob for the P38A - about $300. When it arrived it was a totally different key to the existing and wouldn't fit.

It seems Alto Land Rover replaced the lock set but never updated the LR database with the new key code.

Unfortunately, without that code, getting a new remote is impossible. One has to replace the complete lockset again - about $1600 for parts. Dunno if that includes new remotes or not.
