Wey hey, my LHD P38 just passed the CT (MOT) with no advisories. It failed 3months ago with a diesel leak from the FIP. It was too cold for me to fix at the time so I left it for the weather to warm up. I also replaced the leak off pipes again as one was leaking.

Took family down to imperial war museum Duxford, Range rovers really are great cruisers, took nice and steady managed, showed 34.4mpg, worked out it’s done 33.2 so quite accurate not bad for a old td6. Definitely worth the 3 1/2 hour drive down too. Great place to spend a day.

Got her back from the hospital.
The lagging at 2000 rpm, was down to a burst vacuum hose
Stereo now working , apparently all good after a hard reset
New height sensor finally on
Horn u/s was due to fuse holder corrosion
And a bit of vanity : a nice new valance for the driver's seat controls
Now I'm off to lay down and recover from the cost.

No, didn't know it was counted! I'll have a look.
Watched the voltage on a longer driver.. it starts up idling at 12.9 then slowly creeps up over 5 mins or so so i think the alternator is fine, just doing its thing.
