Still got to remove those spring things and refit air. dont know how big a job that will be

RangeRoller dt · Mar 21, 2020

Setting it up getting it all working correctly will be more of a job than the swap.

Check what they did to the height sensors hopefully they are tucked up safe and still on it. If it doesn’t say ‘EAs manual’ and lights blink away good sign your becm is in one piece

‘People’ that chuck springs on don’t tend to disconnect lines and plug the ends - they just chop away, worth checking

ALR6943 FRONT DOOR GLASS CHANNEL????

brianp38dse · Mar 21, 2020

Dopey i think the glass has to come out to refit that bit, it may well need gluing in to hold it into shape, if you need a hand shout .

Wow.

Well finished in the workshop about 1am.
Went home slept up at 5am.
10miles down the road
>check coolant level< it's fine.
20miles later >check coolant level<its fine.
Checked it again before leaving my pals still fine. 5miles down the road >check coolant level<
You can see the pattern here. Not a drop used. It's been fine attacked 366miles so far today averaged 23.7mpg to say 2/3rd of the journey has been on dual carriageways locked in normal height. Shes done good as usual.

Put the battery on charge as it was showing <12.4V on the idiot lights. Still charging 5 hrs later. I guess it needed it. :-D

A good friend has bought a 96 DSE that has been sat in a field for 8 years..

We got it out, did a basic service + the brakes..

I think those pads were worn......

Years left on them, as long as you leave it parked in the field.

Looked at it through the lounge window, The Enemy stockpiled wallpaper and paint before the lockdown.

Guess what I've been doing for the last two days.

A big thanks to @brianp38dse Saved my life, he sused out the rubber window channel and put it in for me, and almost sorted the wing mirror (the motor on it is broken though) and offered to sort my front dampers it and fit them for me that other mirror is for a Disco 1
