So its not updating the date manually (same place you change the time)?
I've seen oddities on the NCDC/NCDR where the flash is corrupt. Refreshing the firmware can resolve it most of the time in my experience.

« on: Yesterday at 09:16:14 »The Govt. demanded recently that Apple give them a back door into icloud (possibly connected to the Britcard thing ?) Apple refused and say they will never comply.Unrelated to digital ids, and has been going on since the previous government.
The US and EU have tried to enforce similar, and when they legally have to provide such access, Apple remove access to that feature in that region. Hence, and it pains me to say, Apple are most likely one of the good guys in that respected.

And in your particular case AA, I suspect it was Norton. Best get rid of that junk IMHO. I just tried going into a Homehub via its IP on a W11 PC here, no issue.

Oh dear. You know some variants of Windows 10 remains supported for another few years? Saves buying new gear, and W11 is generally a useless, buggy piece of crap.... ....to the point I use a Mac day to day at home

When reading original post, I was thinking a wet/knackered door switch on the door your wife use, or a wet alarm ECU.
So hopefully the door switch cures it. Its possible the switch could be prone to water ingress, so might be worth replacing it, they are usually cheap enough.

Back to basics....
Are you getting a spark when cranking?
Are you getting fuel from injectors when cranking?
Then we can go from there
Worth adding, please avoid using projects like Easy Start to diagnose this sort of issue, it tends to do far more damage than good.

The company the government hinted they would use - Palantir - have come out and said they aren't interested in bidding for it, as it wasn't in the manifesto, thus is undemocratic.

« on: 06 October 2025, 14:12:17 »Had it six years now, spent a fair bit on it but its been worth it only paid £7,000 for it originally but spent just under £5,000 on it for servicing , tyres and various other things but it is totally up to the job now , keep toying with the idea of a Landcruiser but then I drive the RR and think I'd simply be wasting my money, just for the sake of a newer vehicle.Wow, time flies. Less than a grand a year including tyres doesn't sound bad at all for a big, heavy, luxury vehicle. I bet a set of branded tyres aren't far short of £1500!
I think you're right, the main benefit would be having a newer vehicle, if that's your desire. I doubt it would be as capable - although you probably run on road tyres and don't use it's full capabilities
