| I fitted Fox to my 110 and they are an improvement over the original factory items. Definitely more compliant and less bouncy. The only downside is that it gets a bit floaty when fully loaded. |

I have working knowledge of Arduino and CAN bus, PIDS, etc.
PM me with any questions.
One question for you. You're using a RPI Pico, how do you manage controlled shutdown for it? |

Really well done, You could replace the centre clock too with that round display.
That's exactly the same thought I had. I'm looking through the usual suppliers to find one that will do the job. It ... |

Excellent idea using the switch module. It's always where my projects stall, putting them in a box.

| I used Dinitrol 4010 on my Defender. I liked it because it was translucent and did not hide anything. However, I found it did not last that long and soon wore off and the rust was back. |

| I've just changed the rear half shafts on my TDCi to solid items (LOF). This has improved the smoothness of the gear change considerably, so much smoother now. |

Good advice on the drain plug torque, I've updated my service notes.
Additionally the service manual suggest a very long interval between gearbox oil changes. I prefer to it more frequently. Same g ... |
