That might turn into a post-it note on my dash. And yes, city cruising worked well in 5th gear on the turbo petrol cactus. cruise control had no trouble on overpasses or turns. My normal driving is right up to 2000 rpm when the engine is broken in.The2ems wrote:Bloody hell!!! I'm in 5th gear by the time I reach 39 mphPrimekart wrote:If you want to rev your engine no more than 4000 RPM, remember these numbers-
Do not drive over 21 mph in 1st ie 38 kph
Not over 39 mph in 2nd ie 63 kph
Not over 63 mph in 3rd ie 101 kph
4th and 5th ar overdrive ratios.
Calculations are for 110 HP Turbo petrol, manual gearbox, 16 in wheels.
To make it easier to remember- 20-40-60 in mph or 40-60-100 in kph.
Makes sense for it to be on the passenger side on the right-hand drive models. Typically glove boxes can't even fit the car's manual on the UK versions because the fuse box and other stuff doesn't switch sides along with the steering wheel and pedals. Most documentation and manuals assume you have the left-hand drive version except some Japanese makers.berapotter wrote:Ok just a quick note about fitting a HUD.
1. The ODB2 socket is on the passengers side on the UK model.
2. Autodata shows it to be on the steering column, it's not. Your local non dealer garage might need to know this at some point
3. The lead supplied with my X5 model is ridiculously short, so you will need an extension male to female ODB2 cable
4. It will need to be a 90 degree flat socket (£3.99 Amazon) because the panel won't fit back properly with a standard cable fitted.
Just thought I'd share!
Nice find. It's not directly in view but better than nothing. I wish there was a menu page for displaying some basic diagnostic info like temperatures, rpm, boost pressure, tire pressures and error codes. That would be more appropriate than the calculator and calendar.Primekart wrote:You have the "blue warning", sort of...
Just look at the S&S "button ". If it shows the yellow bar, engine is cold and the S&S system will not start.
