    @minidave1994 Месяц назад +3

    LIN communication is similar to canbus but single wire… it’s used for non important things; but its master and slave… the master unit asks for info; the slave responds on the same wire. But because it’s single wire you have an issue at one module or connection, you get faults galore! Had a similar issue with a bmw m5 with water pump issues as it uses LIN for them also. Good spot! I recon it was probably the brake pedal switch that cause the ignition to not come on properly though, as you need the brake pedal to start.

    Rats are a bugger. I live rural Scotland and they eat my washer fluid lines on my truck; they're attracted to the heat from the engine bay in the winter. I made a sheet metal box that is wheeled over the front on the truck, and slides underneath. Acting as a cage of sorts to stop them getting in the engine bay. Not perfect, but it works...for now.

    Pranking Chris was a nice touch!
    Rats are a real pain - I was offerred car storage on a farm some years ago, and declined, due to the worry of rats chewing the electrics.
    In mountainous parts of France they have a beastie called the Stone Martin.
    THEY make rats look like wimps, and literally destroy anything electric in a car.
