No I ended up going to a car meet and then sat and fiddled getting my handbreak light working.
All centre console button lights arnt working except the low range button
And the hevac lights have all gone except the display.
Iv bought a 318 2.0 touring today pick it up on the 11th so mot that and take the rangie off the road for a few week to get this air suspension,
gearbox, rear crank seal, new discs all round these drilled and groved have seen better days, windscreen, headlight washers, rear washer and wiper motor And dash out to sort passanger blend motor and fit undamaged trims. Half colour coded front bumper and mirrors too like my old red one had, hopefully find a set of second hand hurricanes or mondials to get these horrible wheels off it haha always somthing to keep me busy
Enuff

Was smiling until I fired her up...Ran ok for a minute, then spluttered and hydrolocked on cylinder 7..the very same reason I changed the head gaskets. Anyone seem any affordable top hat cylinder blocks around or have any suggestions ??

Most people seem to trust Turners but been a few disasters from there recently. Think decent blocks are starting to become rare.

Grrr Iv got one of them breather things and the pipe sat about if you want it?
Really? That would be good. I think the filter is probably ok as I cleaned it out with petrol a while back and it still looks clean inside. The pipe is totally shot though. Was looking online at various pipes but getting one that bends that tightly without kinking and oil proof and heat resistant is hard!
The hose you need from Land rover agents. Think you may want to try the offered S/H one. https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-ESR4566 Also remove cover plate inside cam cover and clean out oil catcher mesh.

Drove her. Simple I know but after everything and recent battery issues again, with no obvious cause, to just get in and drive, is such a joy. I look at other 4x4s , even the same stable but, it is not envy or desire, it is just interest, at what others have or have not done to theirs. Despite all the heartache, I still love the Golden Girl. I love when, after pulling up at location, whilst talking to someone, she settled the EAS , and the person was impressed, even more so,when I showed the EAS control It's the little things (@holidaychicken)

Where's the cam cover plate? Got a picture simple enough for a simpleton to follow?
Inside the cam cover secured with twelve torx bolts. Under that is the separator mesh. You can see it clearly on your seventh photo. Have you heard of specsavers?

Had to resync the wife`s keys, I don't know what she does but its all ways her set and then moans its my fault
Should be Torx bolts. Make sure you use a good bit.
I'm exhausted
Fitted & working. It was so simple... Would have been easier if both hands were fully operating, but one hand and my belly did the job
One thing though, cruise stopped working since I did the valve block. The rubber pipe is cracked like a smashed windscreen so I am hoping it's just that.
Question is, the cruise was working, albeit at 2mph or so below selected speed and would drop speed before banging back on. Now I am guessing the leaking hose caused the problem with the cruise, but is it vacuum operated? If so, it's highly likely this is causing my misfire too, no??
No other cause to be found
