think im getting some where with this at last iv discounted hg failure after doing a sniff test not even going to consider slipped liner etc no real symptoms of that just leaking coolant from hose connections.
i have massively under estimated the poor quality of the **** part top hose T connector and hoses plus the constant pressure hose clips used, having replaced these 1 at a time my cooling system seems to be finnnally water tight no coolant lose for a couple of days after replaceing the said clip with decent hose clips.
i recently replaced this top T piece with an aluminium one which was great but the smaller long hose to the stat gave out and split i will now be returning to this set up once i find a decent 90 degree 25mm to 22 mm connector.

I sorted the locked passenger door.
A search on here made me suspect the superlock motor. However using rovacom I could hear all the motors operating to no avail. This led me to suspect the door handle.
I managed to remove it by opening the rear pass door which gives access to the screw which releases the handle.
With this out I found that the red plastic end of the actuating rod was loose as the threads had corroded. I did a bodge with a hose clip until I can get some new ones if available. I tried bits from my donor but they had also corroded. Its probably a common problem with water regularly running down the threads. Any ideas what the part no. is?

When I was younger and fitter I used to lift Rover V8s on my own - couldn't lift a Ford Pinto 2 litre though!

My P38 failed it's MOT this morning. Not much needing done.
Driver seat insecure...now fixed. Was gonna offer it counselling
Front calipers seizing up. Will do that Friday pm.
Headlights a bit squiffy, don't know if that means re-alignment.
Couple of front brake pipes.
Advisory's
Slight oil leak at the rear hub. Is that a gasket or rubber seal?
Slight play on the drag link (ball joint) Might just replace that.
Not too bad I thought.

I would interpret squiffy to mean boss-eyed rather than out of height alignment.

Not only does it put O rings under load but the flexible pipe and eventually breaks it and you lose all your trans fluid

Today I decided to write my P38 off! :-(
After fitting a new rebuilt engine, new gearbox, four new tyres and exhaust. Not to mention re-plumbing the airsuspension! I spent more on it than it is worth and will only get enough back to buy a Freelander!
At least the other driver and I are okay. Worse thing is, it was my fault........
