Cat & Fiddle Road - This definitely looks like a road worthy of being on the list of Best Roads to Drive. Seems to be very popular with Bikers as well

Is it in the UK, Europe, States....where is that 'must drive before I die' road? Maybe it's the Amalfi Coast Road, the Stelvio Pass, the A3 with the Hindhead tunnel...or do you have one we don't know about? We want to hear about which journey brings you immense pleasure when you drive it...and what would be your favourite car to do the drive.

Here's one for your SatNav .... enjoy! http://www.drivn.co.uk/the-best-driving-routes-in-europe-for-your-sat-nav/

It means the Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction is throwing up a fault. Below is a brief description of the fault: When the code P0720 is set in the Powertrain Computer, it means that the Powertrain Computer or PCM is not seeing a rational speed signal from the Output Sensor or, there is a greater than specified RPM difference between the rotational speed of the Input RPM Sensor and the Transmission Output Speed RPM Sensor. This can occur during shifting or when driving at steady speeds in the same gear. It often implies that the transmission is slipping. Symptoms Check Engine Light will illuminate Vehicle will not shift properly Decrease in fuel economy In unusual cases, there are no adverse conditions noticed by the driver In some cases, there may be performance problems, such as dying when coming to a stop after driving on the freeway and/or misfire-like symptoms Common Problems That Trigger the P0720 Code Defective Output Speed Sensor Defective Shift Solenoids Defective Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Defective Valve Body Dirty transmission fluid that restricts the hydraulic passages Defective Output Speed Sensor wiring or connector Common Misdiagnoses Engine Misfire problem Internal Transmission problem Driveline problem

Hi Ritchie...welcome to the Forum Exciting times then! Let us know how you get on Cheers Trevor

Here's how to carry out the Battery reset procedure - (originally posted by Raistlin in the S Type Forum) Have radio code to hand BEFORE disconnecting battery. Restart the clock (where fitted) and set it to the correct time. Enter your radio code or if you do not have it then follow backdoor code below The code only works once you have entered the failed code 3 times Enter any code 3 times so that the display shows "PLEASE WAIT" Simultaneously press ">>" "PTY" "A.MEM" should only take 2 or 3 seconds and the radio turns on. You must press the buttons together i.e. at the same time Windows each window 1. NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected it is necessary to initialize each door window motor separately to operate the "one-touch" up function. Operate the window control switch until the door window glass is in the fully closed position, continue to operate the window control switch for a further two seconds. 2. Release the window control switch. 3. Operate the window control switch in the closed position and continue to operate the window control switch for a further two seconds. 4. Operate the window control switch until the door window glass is in the fully open position ("one-touch" down). 5. NOTE: If the door window motor initialization has been completed correctly, when the window control switch is operated, the door window glass should move to the fully closed position ("one-touch" up) automatically. • NOTE: If the door window glass does not fully close automatically ("onetouch" up), repeat the complete procedure. Operate the window control switch once to the close position. 6. Repeat the door window motor initialization for each door window motor. EPB reset 1 Switch off ignition. 2 Disconnect battery for 30 seconds reconnect battery (not required if battery changed). 3 Start the engine. 4 Confirm that the message "NOT CALIBRATED" or "APPLY FOOT AND PARK BRAKE" is displayed on the instrument cluster message centre. This indicates the the parking brake is in calibration mode. 5 Lightly press the foot brake. 6 Apply the parking brake by using the EPB switch. 7 Release the parking brake. 8 Release the foot brake. 9 Confirm that the brake warning lamp is no longer illuminated on the instrument pack and that "NOT CALIBRATED" message is no longer displayed in the message centre. 10 apply and release the EPB 5 times to ensure no error is present. Following reconnection of the battery, the engine should be allowed to idle until it has reached normal operating temperature as the stored idle and drive values contained within the ECM have been lost. Allow the vehicle to idle for a further three minutes. Drive the vehicle at constant speeds of approximately 48 km/h (30 mph), 64 km/h (40 mph), 80 km/h (50 mph), 96 km/h (60 mph) and 112 km/h (70 mph) for three minutes each. This may cause a driveability concern if the procedure is not carried out. This will allow the ECM to relearn idle values

Found this earlier...very clever ! The Renaissance Series, Classic Works of Art Recreated With Mechanics in an Old Garage The Creation of Adam Photographer Freddy Fabris has created “The Renaissance Series“, a wonderful interpretation of several classic master paintings of the eponymous time recreated in “an old Midwest car shop” with striking male models posing in mechanic’s uniforms. Fabris explained how he came up with the idea on Huffington Post. Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp The Last Supper Portraits Portraits Portraits photos by Freddy Fabris via Huffington Post
