Back on topic ... Jacked up the Rangie and left her on axle-stands with the battery disconnected.
What did you do with your Range Rover today

Changed the accessory sockets to ignition live from permanent live. Easiest job yet, 2 minutes and 1 relay.

Odd, I put one the other way in case I need a solar charger on it.

Not checked yet but I don't think it changes the one in the boot so can put the solar charger on that.

On mine, the one in the boot is switched with the ignition, I fitted a second socket in the boot for my solar panel wired direct to the battery via a fuse.

I did take some but want a WiFi connection before uploading!
Had to stop for now as I need the clutch lever bushes which means waiting till next week.

MPG dropped from 30 down to 26 mpg. Hmmm one suspects an FIP seal leak as I saw this happen before. Look underneath once I'm home, wet patch, then drip. Open bonnet look at the lower lozenge shaped cover drip drip drip appears to be on both of them. Bugger. Off to France on 25th May
Need to get my spare FIP refurbished in a hurry and then fitted. Problem is I'm working in Cornwall and my car is in Cheshire. SWMBO will be doing her best by dropping off the FIP off with Diesel Bob on Tuesday.
Anyone want to help me swap in next weekend if it's back from Bob's?

Although friction and pressure plate are back on. I did give the flywheel a bit of attention with some wet and dry and brake cleaner before fitting them.

You'll definitely need the tool to hold the fuel pump and lock the flywheel. Then there's the adapter and dial guage to set the pump. And socket for the injector pipes as they have to come off. Think that's it. Have you got a beavertail or suitable trailer?

Then there’s the locking tool for the camshaft TDC and you may need new inlet manifold gaskets to get to it and set also
