I actually bought a pair of those ones you linked to above yesterday, but that doesn't mean I won't be interested in some PU version, as I'm not confident they'll last a long time

HI Dave,

I'm pretty sure the one you've linked as right hose above is actually a rear hose!

I think I've found one on ebay, but I would rather have bought a matched pair tbh.

Are front brake hoses handed? I'm looking at Rimmers because I need a right front (or at least, I think I might - I'm getting some random binding, but the pads move freely, as does the caliper on the slide pins), and they seem to list different numbers for LH and RH. Can't work out why though. If I'...

Was there someone on this site who has a pile of front drop links they were selling off? I could do with a couple - the later version, where the two ends are in the same orientation.

Fantastic looking SL, in a really nice high-class colour. You have a great collection of cars.

That is an absolutely fabulous Double Six. I love it!

Lodein, you have an incredibly beautiful car there. Congratulations.

Welcome Lodein!

Looking forward to seeing some pictures. I love the variety of ways people find themselves owners of an 800. And you're right, there aren't many of us left now, even in the UK so I can't imagine just how rare an 827 must be in France.

Thanks Dave - and don't worry, I think I was overthinking it (as per usual...)

This will do it. It's only the integreted LED that was throwing me, but that's just a single wire, and an additonal loop on the switch itself

Excellent news - sometimes new is just the best way!

Mainly because I'm not yet able to confirm that it is indeed the ECU at fault. It could still be the K40 module, it could be...almost anything. I'm happy to replace parts, but only when I know they are the fault. If the MOSFET replacement didn't work, it's hard to justify replacing the whole ECU unl...

The car itself has kind of done the rounds - I don't doubt at some point someone has struggled with it, but also it's not the kind of thing you'd sell the car on for. It's annoying, but it's not a "quick, stick some K-Seal in a hope the head gasket holds" kind of thing

Aha - no, mine's an auto

Also worthy of note - it was clear when I opened the ECU, that the MOSFET had already been replaced, so there's been a history of fault finding

Hi Dave - yes, I have that exact code - p0806. I've actually already replaced the MOSFET (BUK101) component, and although it had the car running differently (it seems to hang on to the revs for longer, and at full throttle now gives a little 'cough' at the gearchange), it hasn't sprung the superchar...
