That's where RAVE comes in handy. Has anyone PDF'ed TOPIX?
Temperature sensor or foglights are the obvious ones.

Spent yesterday afternoon cleaning mine after a week in Wales only for my 3 year old to be travel sick on way back.. not a bit either. Had to do best I could there with baby wipes then full clean once home as Rangie was used later for us and couple more family to go to east Lancs heritage railway for a trip behind Flying Scotsman.

The best I can find at the moment is this, still cant find out what it is or where it goes. Trying to see mention of the other little cooler in there maybe it goes to a temp sensor on it.

Edit: No scratch that its the tranny cooler and no electrical connection.

Took my Range Rover to Cornwall to collect my other Range Rover, anyone want to buy a Range Rover? No? Hello...?
727 mile round trip with a fair sized trailer and averaged 21.4mpg which is probably cheaper than driving two Range Rovers!

Good job the seats are leather. Been a while since I visited the yard in Bury.

No, they are some replica tail lights. It's a TDV8 3.6 Vogue SE. I bought it from a friend, did loads of work to it with a plan to sell, gave it to another friend to sell in Cornwall as they are so rarely available there and the locals have never heard of ULEZ, then it started leaking coolant and he took it to a local "specialist" who charged me £72 to tell me it was leaking coolant but not where from, that it needs a driveshaft because "reasons" and that it needs front brakes. I put new Brembo discs and pads on it the week before! Anyway, friend is too worried about selling it for me and can't fix the leak so I just went to get it. In truth I could have driven it back topping it up every 100 miles or so (it's not a bad leak) but I figured it easier for two of us to share the driving of one car rather than try to drive two through the night and the cost was about the same.Is that a SC
Have fun

I am guessing that the leak is from the alloy pipe that runs down the side of the chassis rail as they quoted £196 for the part and that sounds suspiciously like the £193 it cost for mine last year! When I'm more awake and my friend brings it over from his place (maybe tomorrow) I'll get a pressure tester on it and find the leak, fix the problem and put it up for sale. I really need to thin my fleet a bit.

Exactly what farther in law said “good job it’s leather”
First time iv been to east Lancs, was a great visit, other half has booked a Thomas the tank event for him next month I think there so be interesting see how that turns out, left a donation yesterday as most seem to be volunteers and look to work hard, guy I spoke to was volunteering and said he was there from 6am and it was 9pm, long day for no pay, I’m guessing a lot do it as they enjoy trains and steam etc.

Well, I had a bit of a shock, I had been walking the dog, on passing the RR, I noticed, the rear near side tail light was steamed up. This is a bad sign, on investigation, it turned out to be a crack in the outer casing. I found a replacement from Powerful, this was a disappointment, it was totally clear, so the side was not detailed as the original. it was only £36 mind. I decided to look for a complete replacement of the whole unit. What a nightmare that was, Rimmer Bros was quoted at £221 +vat + P&P. The next one was even worse from LR parts, I was at my witzend. After a cup of tea and a rest. I tried again, this time I had more options, some of the salvage sites wanted £149 to £160 for a used one, eventually Island 4X4 came up with £159 +vat P+P free. Original LR part to boot, brilliant and brand new. It would appear that some so called parts dealers are really overpricing. My advice is to have a really good look around before you commit to a purchase.
