Still worth checking the battery CCA/EN capacity even if it's "only 18 months old" . . .

Turned nicer as the morning went on. :) Wifey went off for a "pootle" around the local Bazaar's for "things". I took the mini out for a few "spins" to get it nicely warmed up and running well. Just pulled some plugs out for a check on the...

That's what mine is like.

Good point about the Trailer indicator light, I do get an indicator light in the original dashboard between the fuel gauge and speedo... I'll ask! Sounds like a minor thing to add so.

i have checked the inertia switch no joy with that.

How come the rear toe is out of spec? I know it's not adjustable.

If you mean the method with the EGR actuator connected to the diff lock spigot on the transfer box which locks the central diff i'd ask why would you remove that if it works cos it's a good mod, all you can do is to replace it with a dedicated...

Are you sure you don't have this. It is just a cast slot on the back of the arm, the new ones for sale still have it (image below from an ebay ad for a new one). This allows you to put a correctly sized drill bit (do not ask me what size) into...

top of the pedal in the footwell footwell you have the circular spring. Each end of this sits in a little plastic cup, and there is a plastic insert onto the pedal where the spring sits in the slot: Link shows the little plastic parts I am...

Disconnect the drag link from the pitman arm. Turn wheel fully one direction and put a tape mark on the top of the wheel. Turn back in the other direction using the tape mark and counting turns to work out the full range of motion. Turn it back...

Oh. My. God! That wasn't a dare! Get ready. @LR-hobbs I'm so sorry we're hijacking this thread and derailing it! Mark and I will now have to personally find the answers to your questions to try and get this back on track.

scratch that. just removed again and doesn't work. so will rebuild thanks

I think this is how it was done on the older stuff. It's unlikely that you'll be pulling too much amperage by adding trailer lights. The bypass relay is mainly used on newer vehicles that will throw bulb failure warnings if the resistance is...

Just cut and washed the older of the two dogs. She is only patient up to a point. Result: she has one "before" paw and three "afters"!! Poor old thing, like lots of old Cockers she has lots of warts. Still when the coat grows back they'll be...

Looks great but haven't a clue what this means 🤭 Is it from a specialist in such things?

Lucky you we got drizzle.

So, I learned something: 1) I need a 13 pin socket, those are mandatory by now for new trailers 2) if there is no dedicated kit for a certain car to connect the socket, apparently the connection goes directly to the tail lights 3) the...

Warm. The car had been sitting for a few days. I decided to take it into the village, about 6 km away, 40 km/h, so enough to warm it up. Then it sat for 5-10 minutes while I did some food shopping.

Hi, apologies but I'm racking my brain as to why my starter motor doesn't turn when it's connected to gearbox and power. I dismantle and run it off the engine and it works fine. As soon as I bolt it back in and add power it just sparks at the...

It bloody is lad😜

I'll also need to find out how I can correctly determine that the drop arm and steering box is in the dead centre straight ahead position. Steering wheel isn't anything to go by unfortunately

Maybe look at the crank sensor, and or it's wiring, also the cam sensor, does this only occur when the engine is hot or after a run, or does it do it from cold start.

All part of the fun of Range Rover ownership. 😂

So far, they never tested the function of the socket, not even lighting. As I replace the complete wiring of the car at the moment, I thought of doing the socket as well. After all, the tow bar is the perfect recovery point! Naively, I thought...

I'm ignoring him unfortunately, full stop.... 🫣

It's having a joke with you my mate😱🫣

Can't believe you didn't just tag him! We need another 60 pages of "Gotcha questions" whatever they are. :)

Maybe the guy with the enormous mechanical knowledge 🤔😝

Still can't get the link to work. Search for this on eBay: Universal 7 Way Bypass Relay PCT ZR2500 Towing Interface Inc Fog Cut Out Item number 202439920209

That's very kind of you both to say so🥲
