| When I swapped our 2008 FL2 to a 2010 engine, I never really registered swirl flaps. I swapped engine looms so that the later engine uses every sensor and the original ecu from the 2008 car. No fault ... |

| Hi, Jules. I used to use, like many people, a Henly Solon 15watt iron many years ago, sadly now obsolete. A useful tip for circuit boards is to cut each tag on the components one wants to remove on th ... |

| Charging voltage is at the bottom end, but Ok. The reason I said cranking voltage is that an apparent good battery can, under load, give a fairly low cranking voltage when drawing, perhaps four hundre ... |

| Too low. I find that I have to take out the battery and put it on a refreshing charger for the weekend every few months to achieve 12.9 volts. Calcium batteries do not go as high as a good Lead Acid b ... |

| Not really, although I find the fuel gauges tend to drop rather fast when just below half a tank. I suggest that, as the cars age, oldest now eighteen years old, the rubber pips will slowly get porous ... |

| My local specialist only fits genuine parts, unless I supply him with them if I can get a better deal. I normally use Rimmers, LRParts, or Maltings 4x4. Paddock are not so competive now, and Craddock ... |

| The battery voltage is a contentious issue on FL2's. My daughters 2009 model was running on a fairly new No.72 battery, and showed a glow plug fault on starting, and 11.2 volts. I replaced with a full ... |

| The Delphi ones are OK for three to four years, then the boot degrades, see my above explanation as to why. I have just had a Landrover one fitted to my 2013 XS, so will see how it goes, £180 each. |
