Means to an end

You like your excel don't you🤔😜

Good luck with that, I remember the UK MOT garages always finding a fault and being disappointed when I took the vehicle away to DIY the repair. Here they test stations are independent and not part of a garage.

Rear airbags replaced last night. First time I've ever changed them without one being split; didn't think about what a ball-ache it is to refit the rear arch liner after removing it to release the pressure from the valve block. The good news...

Sod that then!

Got message from my mechanic, the rebuild carbs arrived today at said Land Rover specialist garage. Bunch of problems solved, it seems! No idea regarding the price of this adventure so!

Checked my NS mirror. Bit odd. The glass had just detached itself. Plastic strap and even the plastic mount that typically explodes as soon as you look at it fine. Reassembled and it is fine. Bit of a result!

Did this a while ago but needed decent rain shower to test it ... Leak in boot fixed. It was the bonding along the top of the rear quarterlight window. Smear of sealant in the gap and she's dry again.

Man, am I happy mine has none of those pesky electronics! 😉 Anyway, just bolted down the upper dash and instrument carrier before rain drove me in. The connector for the instruments is actually poka-yoke, fool proof, as in it can only be plugged...

Yes, it does a self check at ignition on @Flossie

Loaded it with ramps and tools, drove to my friend's place and (believe it or not) fixed his Toyota! Ha! Land Rover rescues Toyota! It had to happen one day. Have that naysayers! I also ordered replacement air springs for the rear as I have...

My book symbol has gone again:confused:. Question- would I be right in thinking that, for example, a sticky flap would bring up the book and ,without touching anything on the hvac , the next start will clear the book until I adjust something...

Thanks guys. As it happens I went ahead without the nanocom & loosened the mid 4 FIP bolts and tapped the actuator forwards with a hammer & it's running sweet as a nut now (aren't hammers just the best thing ever 😄 🤣 😂). I'll get some readings...

Truetrac in the back, no limited slip ones for 10 spline front axles, unfortunately. According to Ashcroft, pegging also helps to mitigate shock loads. And those pegged diff housing from Ashcroft are new ones. Maybe I get myself a ARB locker for...

Will it run on default values if you just unplug the MAF?

I think the MAF is the culprit, when going slow on a roundabout or junction the rpm is in the region of 700ish the MAF reading goes up and down from 25kg and when the car starts to “hunt” it goes down as far as 0 for a second or so. As soon as it...

Ive had all sorts of issues from sensors being out of alignment. Bags deflating, ride height issues where the front was higher than the rear by a good 40mm+. Random fault messages....... For me, had to drop the car to the bump stops and bend the...

People normally only peg the diff with locking diffs? Rangie has centre diff but not usually locking axles, unless you added them? Limited slip diff would be good.

You can show a reversing camera on the sat nav screen. I think someone put the details on a Jag forum. Same design. It is an American format, not PAL and it has to be RGB+ or something I cannot remember. Google it!

Someone smacked mine. Didn't break but now wobbles so I think the plastic strap / strut from the back has popped off.

Some twonk in a van going too fast down a narrow country road smacked my os door mirror sending the glass through my open window on to my lap. Casing is scuffed but otherwise OK, just a new mirror glass needed. Mine are heated so I've discovered...

Not today, but over the weekend really. 635mi round trip to Ard Rock MTB festival - didn’t set a foot out of place the entire drive. Set off Thursday after collecting a mate, and came back today. Even got complimented by one of the stewards when...

FIxed that for you. 😁

Was generally scrolling as u do and saw this, thought what a gorgeous colour and interior, still with actual dials 🤣 , 8 x speed and the very nice tft display which I’ve seen on some models where u can have the sat nav display in full display...

It’s finally working! Having checked all of my work on it so far and found nothing out of order, I refitted the intake and tried a bit of easy start. It ran for a moment but wouldn’t keep going after the starting fluid was used up, indicating an...

may be of help

All the cables are now identified! Tomorrow the instllation and testing, Sunday reassembly of everything. If it works, TÜV next week!

When I say spare wheel, I mean inside the car. As in take the spare wheel out and look underneath it. Or is the spare wheel accessed from underneath? There's a thing from JLR called Topix which is a sort of online version of RAVE, the workshop...

Awesome thankyou will get it up on the ramp and will keep this thread informed
