Starting to feel fit again so might try and look at this today.. did you need any special tools or extra bits?
Yes, got a new MoT, clean sheet, but checked online for historic MoTs showed coolant leak at rear of engine as advisory for a couple of years. A check over at my local indie garage diagnosed oilcooler problem with traces of engine oil in the header tank, wear on brakes and various suspension bushes, to be expected of a car that age and mileage. But if that's all that's wrong, I reckon just under £6k was a sensible price.
and the 10 reg Vogue I got before that, the one with 50-odd electronic faults has now been taken back by the seller and my money repaid, minus a bit for using the car for a month. That was Junction 5 Car Sales on the old A40 at Stokenchurch. Beware!!
Off to Essex today to collect the crankshaft and cylinder heads for my 1952 AEC bus engine, braving Operation Brock on the M20 and the Dartford Crossing.
No the mega fuse reconfigured with what was there.
you changed a battery before so no about the security torx holding the ECU bracket.

Thanks
Some numpty decided to use a grinder to make a slot for a flat head instead of rescuing for the torx bit

Found something prematurely 'worn out' on my modern Range Rover - the airbox screws have been 'cammed out' and need replacing, as you'd expect, the screws are not available separately, so L319, L320, L322, L405 & L494's (and probably others) need to have replacement airboxes - unless you use the Jaguar part number...

Excuse me for being curious, but are those screws steel or plastic and do they screw into plastic?

They are steel screws with the consistency of a warm brie and they screw into plastic. Most of mine have been slotted by a previous owner/garage. So glad to have the part number now and I can order a full set of them. Bet they're. a bargain too!

Typical JLR quality
Screws like that should be available from nut & bolt suppliers.

I doubt JLR make them but their purchasing department will have found the "best possible price". Plenty on eBay of OE quality I'm sure. It's too dark and rainy to go and count them but I think I need 12 for my car, they are of course sold in packs of 5, 10, 20, 30.

B*ll*cks hit a very large pothole tonight. SRS warning light on and airbag fault in message centre. Will put diagnostics on tomorrow and see if it gives me any pointers where to look
Six per airbox, I got them for £0.62 each, retail may be a bit more, maybe 20% more.
TBH, my L319 had them replaced at ten years old but no power tools have been used on them, just the correct (PH2) driver.

Air bag connector under the drivers seat if it has side airbags is a likely candidate.

There is a second one for the drivers side air bag near the seat base as well, the dashboard above the glove box and passenger seat base area to boot.
