I did read somewhere about the idea of the coolant tank being split past way up, coolant drops to that level and no further. I don't think that's the case here though. When i checked the other day and took the cap off the whole area looked dry...

Actually no. More like a hose/connection that lets water out at the higher pressure (when full to level) but wont leak at the lower pressure (when level is low). J

Cunning.. just like a land rover

Maybe they have cataracts and can't tell the difference 🤔

Went take some pics of that stashed p38 I been thinking about. Building next to it has either been hit by a lorry or exploded, all covered in police tape, p38 is gone it’s just a space of no grass with two drag marks. Take it she didn’t survive 🥲...

Pressure test with engine hot & not running ?

So you're thinking head gasket?!

Have a look down the side of the oil filter housing see if there's water in the V, I bought one those vacuum filling kits off eBay for another job and there's a pump in to pressurise the system that's how I found my leak turned out to be the stat...

MOT passed 😄

Like a P38A but everything is a little higher.

Yep Turns out the new hose was not reinforced, so it expanded then contracted every time. This caused a small hole to get bigger and bigger until it ended in a slit about 21/2 inches long and hence the wheezy noise

Always nice when a fix goes to plan. That happened to me, once! It was about 10 years ago, the windscreen washer stopped working.. i topped up the fluid and it started working again!! 🥳

No power going up hills and slopes and a whooshing noise coming from turbo. Outlet hose had split. New hose fitted and full boost now back. :vb-bouncy2: 👍 👍

Back out in the back of beyond, and as promised

Not sure. He has his own Range Rover forum which is more technical with no banter.

No, he's lived there before. I think his father might still be there.

Well done on mot grrrrr mine failed today bloody emissions

I suspect those tank O rings may have never been changed since new. When I replaced the pipework a few weeks ago, I probably disturbed them and that's when they started leaking...

He had a lot going on in life last we spoke. Not good stuff either. Not exactly the type to flounce is he but we all need a break from time to time. I have tried to contact him few times previously with no response Or he’s still mad at Broke...

MoT passed although a couple of advisories. Track rod is apparently a tad loose. It isn't that old and it was Lemforder. Disappointing.

There is one of those newish MG SUV type things around here and the owner has bought all the individual letters to spell out M O R R I S G A R A G E S across the bonnet. That's a lot of letters, goes almost edge to edge across it.

U - cut the top off O P - cut leg off R I - cut arms off E All the other letters are there

Quite tempted to change the L322 to say RAGE ROVER. Would be apt as f*** around Oxford with all the pedestrians/scooters/bikes that just go straight in front of you like it's your responsibility to look out for their safety.

UnderPigeon is too hard to space out

"sigh". Buyers remorse, sellers remorse.. Really did miss this old beast, coincidentally new owner couldn't get on with the old beast, something about 12mpg........ :confused: Negotiated a deal and picked her back up. absolutely filthy...

The filler was similar to silicon when dry, rubbery and prone to peeling rather than feathering out like body filler, pita but got it satisfactory eventually. First coat of black dye.

If you want a professional job I'd recommend Royal Steering Wheels in Aylesbury. Had a Saab 9-5 steering wheel done by them and was amazing finish. Bit of a trek but could post as an option. Or I pass by that way often and could LRFerry for you.

So its finally flagged a fault this morning, 3-4th gear change, town speed slow pickup and while it changes if you remove or add throttle the gearchange is successful, exactly the same symptoms and actions as it did 60k miles ago when i first got...
