I recently had a scary incident in my Nomad - braking hard, there was a loud bang and a soft brake pedal. It turned out the front left brake carrier had sheared completely off, leaving the caliper dragging along the road held on only by the brake line. I sent the car to Ariel, and they found hairlin...

Just a warning for Nomad/2.4L owners - the gaskets used for the cat section aren't metal as (I believe) on the 2.0L, so there is less chance of being able to re-use them as they might well fall apart on (dis)assembly ... mine certainly did, so with my MOT due on Wednesday I hope the factory are as e...

Interesting, thanks. Mine wasn’t done through Ariel no. Do you happen to know if it fails because of the pure emissions numbers, or simply because the cat is absent when it should have one?

Is it confirmed it won’t pass the MOT without the cat? My just acquired car appears to have passed three MOTs without one…

Hope these show what you need…

I’m in the UK (near Aylesbury).

That’s wasn’t me no (I wasn’t aware there was a WhatsApp group, how do I join please?). If you mean the black decorative exhaust heat shield then the car did come with one, but I wasn’t keen on the look so took it off (and enjoyed polishing the rather corroded looking exhaust, which looks good enoug...

Unsure why the pictures don't work - here they are as attachments instead of IMG links:

I forgot to say also - I didn't get an owner's manual, and Ariel don't currently have any. If anybody has a PDF version I'd be extremely grateful. I've found a few of the important pages in various threads here, but I also keep reading how great the manual is, so it's frustrating not to have one, or...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd share some pictures of my new (to me) Nomad. It's a 2016 NA version which I'm sure is known to some of you. I bought it from DK Engineering, part exchanging my GR Yaris to do so, which was a difficult car for me to let go, but I've no regrets having done it. I've only done...

I’m on firmware version 9.3.4.

Thanks, I will try that. Is anybody able to confirm what the factory setup is please? Mine is per the first post: water temp, fuel and battery on the first four pages, water temp, fuel and RPM on the fifth page. The up/down buttons also weren’t set to display next/prev page (they didn’t seem to do a...

Mine is very unlikely to have the latest firmware. Do you know if flashing this will retain the current configuration, such that I can then download and edit it? Pretty sure I don’t want to risk it, especially if the configuration I have is the correct one (which I doubt, because it seems rather use...

Thanks guys. I’ve just had a reply from Ariel also - they won’t supply me the configuration file required, so I’m stuck with the rather odd settings I have (are they the default I wonder?). Hardly a showstopper, but disappointing nevertheless.
