Hi, I bought another key from this guy. Call Paul on 01206 211623 - office 07828 278465 07760 955966 07840 428888 No where near the LR price Griff

I could feed that code into my Testbook T4 and see how it interprets it. Might take me a little while though.

We are talking about the piston in the carburettor, as of course you are aware and are just taking the "piston"! Air filter off of course. ;)

The over reving may be due to the clutch switch. Do you have cruise control? If so engage it then depress the clutch and it should turn off. Griff

I have used both SP panels and Paintman for complete doors with no issues. I think they both do just the skins?

...and in a fascinating fun-packed fiasco today we took the mini's plumbing apart a little bit to confirm the total lack of a thermostat [shock-horror]. So the correct 88° thermostat was inserted in the housing and just because we already had...

I have a thread about the alternator belt tensions, I have just replaced the bracket with an adjustable link to keep tension LINK The power steering one is not usually a problem, have the bolts stripped the threads out of the blind holes? if so...

Not sure how you lift a piston inside a closed cylinder from the outside when it is all sealed up? ;)

Hi everyone, finally had the injectors tested today. One of them was dribbling all the time so that would cause the issue. They are replacing all 4 nozzles and setting them up to all open at the same pressure so they will be like new. Hopefully...

Now sold. Many thanks.

Just before I went out this a.m. W's dottir rang up, I went out as the call began. Went to the quacks to book a jab, then moved the car through Tesco's car park and out the other side to park at Motobitz, messed around ordering the right filters...

Hi, I've replaced just the cartridge lots of times on many different cars. Twice now on a 300tdi and both times they were great, the trick is to buy a Decent cartridge, I recommend Mellets. British company making cartridges for all different...

I've just been to kingfisher rubber and got load s of seals. All sorts , some self adhesive, ideal for series

A second key is useless while the vehicle is immobilised cos the BCU is locked for programming, you have to remobilise it first then a good used key can be programmed with nanocom by a friendly member close to you or you can hire one HERE ...or...

Hi, i have just visited Kingfisher Rubber 01527 570570 in Bromsgrove. all the seals you ever wanted under one roof. Really helpful, I've scanned a leaflet Door seals and rubber matting ideal for the floors window stuff. everything. I came away...

Me tratter is poorly. Billowing white smoke out the exhaust. Noticed fluid dripping from the braided section of the exhaust anorl. Hoping it's an njector an nots the gasgit. Need to check coolant level..

Today I got the hill descent working it wasn't anything complicated. It seems to work with either the original 1.8 cluster or with the 2.5 cluster that I have. I had unpinned the power feed from the plug that goes into the interior fuse box...

Thanks All, That is brilliant. It has given me something to have a go at. It is particularly good to know that as the fob doesn't work it immediately becomes immobilised when opened by the key. I've only ever had one key, so thought it would be...

Yup, keep it unless there are other problems..

You have a need then. Your old alternator may well fix to be an on hand spare. Swapped out a non working alt for spare a while back and got around to sorting it just the other day. New rectifier and brush/voltage regulator pack for £20 + post. If...

keep it

Kermit, your star, it would be greatly appreciated as I've got a fighting chance of getting something ordered for the weekend (if I can figure out what's missing).

A ball park idea of the condition would be good!

Trust me, I'd be happy with that over the same 6 CD's that keep playing over and over.

I have twin electric fans which have a fairly sizable draw on the when running and have a husky winch that although only used occasionally was the reason for the larger alternator. I used to have 8x 120watt spotlights on it, but they are now...

I don't think so, it is the same tension I would have put on it previously with the old slider. But surely over tensioning would effect the bearings not the charging ability? It is still spinning and not making any noises.

hi this black plastic piece is loose on one side and hanging down. (see pic with helpful arrow! ) what is it and how do i remove/repair it please? it seems to be a short curved bit of plastic i dont know what it is or does so any help is...

HI All, I'm missing some radio amplifier modules on both sides of my car, and I'm at a loss to what's actually missing. I thought the best way would be to post 2 images of what's there and what isn't in the hope someone can either post 2...

Please could I have your advice on the likely sale of my 2004 Discovery 2 TD5 ? Its had a new galvanised chassis fitted three years ago and has done about 140K miles. Just a ball park figure would be good ....

Got the RL off too. Much the same condition. No real signs of perishing. Will Keep as a spare. Spent the rest of the time cleaning underneath and rust treatment of what little corrosion there seems to be.
