So far this weekend we've had two blips, nothing serious, just frustrating. First the sunroof stuck open. Nothing i did would make it close but it turned out that after the interior trim was removed and the motor unplugged and and then plugged in again, it worked! Not too sure what the problem was but with the rain clouds closing in it did make me panic a little! Also, something tells me that Land Rover didnt use woodscrews to fit trim. The screws I removed are on the left, the right has the screws that I've dug out to replace them with.
There's a special place in hell for those who use woodscrews in place of the right bolts/screws. Im not sure if this was an electrical niggle or a problem with the motor itself. when the button was operated the motor was making a clicking sound, sounded like a relay to me so it seems its getting power. My guess the motor is all gummed up inside as it moves very slowly. once im off work ill get it pulled out again, stripped down and regreased. hopefully that solves the issue.
The other problem is that the numberplate lights were very dim so i pulled the units out to replace the bulb but one holder fell apart in my hand and the other doesnt work. They were both pretty rotten so I've had to order two new units.
Oh, and another thing, the bracket that sits on top and holds the headlights in place was broken on the passenger side has had to be replaced. It was cracked and reglued before but its finally done i think.
