Yeah that's likely for the age of the car it's just weird it happened immediately after the flash

I’d suggest maybe the old config wasn’t seeing it, or somehow it got stuck in a state and the effective reboot sorted it? It might also be a non issue

On Monday I turned the throttle controller back on for the cut and thrust of the traffic, during the holiday season I found it more relaxing to drive with it off.

Filled up. Over 502.0 miles (807.8 ks) dash said 7.6L/100. Pump said 9.2.

I'd love for the "optimistiometer" to come somewhere close to reality, but it's not a small nor particularly aerodynamic vehicle.

Mine has the "lights on" and no FBH indicator even though it has the FBH. The backported firmware for clock on dash is from the later model, which makes the FBH lamp come on when the headlights are on. The blue "high beam" indicator is in a completely different part of the panel.

Thanks Brad for identifying the mistake this SOF made!

I apologise to all that I said 'high beam light' as yes that is blue at the top of my cluster. It was the 'lights on' indicator that I did not have. Having update the Instrument Pack software to get the clock on the message centre, I now the the red FBH indicator to show me that I have my lights on!

I hope Garry gets the clock on his dash now...

Started replacing the RHS inlet manifold (MY14 3.0 TDV6), bought an after market replacement and I'm worried it's not going to fit. I'll re-evaluate in the morning.

it's a necessary sacrifice to the LR gods for they are not benevolent without. Even the simplest of things often ends on a trip to the emergency department to reattach a limb.

I had read about it needing to be trimmed a bit when installing. I had the mechanic change out my oil cooler at the same time as both intakes, which meant no shaving was needed.
