    Very interested to hear back from you because my search resulted in a £45 price tag for a genuine cap! Tricky :(

    L322 binding brakes... random and frustrating.

    Rear brake callipers removed and replaced as piston was seized on one side also new pads fitted. Road tested with no squeaks or binding so happy days. Job done. Tricky :)

    Loose pads it is then. Time to get stripping those callipers. Tricky ;)

    L322 Fooling the locks

    Boot open, lock flicked across and enjoying the view of my front step. The Range is blissfully sleeping. I’m convinced this is a safe way to beat those battery drain fears. Top Tip - thanks kds. Tricky :)

    I’ve removed the paint dip plugs before now but having tracked the water ingress it’s the random damp that still finds it’s way in. Tricky :mad:

    I’ll try and remember to have a go at this next time I’m venting the boot damp lol. Tricky :(

    I love it.

    Good call on the 19’s with a higher wall. That’s the benefit of the 20” too. The 22’s will always find a buyer if refurbished so easy money but it may be a lot harder to sell them when they’re freshly done, I know from experience. Tricky :)

    L322 Fooling the locks

    I’ve converted my boot and tailgate bulbs to LED to reduce drain and benefited from the light being much brighter than warm glow festoon bulbs. Was relieved to find no error message on the dash. Tricky :)

    Good afternoon, just wondering if you got a definitive solution to your binding brake issue? I need to address mine so any pointers are much appreciated . Tricky.

    P38A Leather seat dye

    Has anyone used these? https://www.colourlock.com I met them at Classic Car Show and have spoken to them on the phone to get my sons car done. They say that if you send a swab or even visit there office they can provide a full kit to treat 4 seats with perfect colour match for around £130. Tricky.

    I love it.

    The paintwork looks great but you need to keep those door rubber seals free from grit to keep them like that long term, especially along those muddy lanes you mention. I’ve got to get the rear arches done on mine before the rot sets in. Regarding tyres the factory still put Pirelli Scorpion on...

    Hello from a Range Rover dreamer!

    I’m sure there’s a technical wizard out there who can do it. The market is huge if we’re to avoid scrapping 30,000,000 vehicles before their time. Tricky.

    Hello from a Range Rover dreamer!

    Occurs to me that you could benefit from a hybrid conversion to gain from the down hill sections. Just a thought! Tricky.

    Hello from a Range Rover dreamer!

    “Good point well made” as the saying goes. If the revs exceed 2000 rpm you’re in average 14 mpg territory. Add in some steep climbs and 100 litres of E10 will last less than 250 miles for sure. I did check the mpg while in rolling traffic through York and got 4.3 mpg displayed. She still puts a...

    Hello from a Range Rover dreamer!

    Hello and welcome, as a fellow SC owner I am somewhat biased in my advice but if you can manage the 12 to 23 MPG then enjoy. Best starting point set your budget with a few grand kept back for the first year potential surprises and look closely at the best condition and history you can find...

    A swede with a brit

    Welcome to LZ, I completely agree the SC is indeed a very good hunting car, although, currently hunting for petrol in Yorkshire. Enjoy your Westminster and rest assured the various noises will disappear one by one but possibly only to be replaced by other new noises. The beauty of the engine you...

    L322 A sound that shouldn't be there (?) (with sound file).

    Plus one. I spent a few days trying to resolve a similar issue on my wife’s car. It’s a rotating pulse so the best way to find it is trace the noise by listening to each rotating component. It could just be the belt tensioner! At first I thought it sounded like the compressor clutch trying to...

    Great link thank you, mine is without the wipers on headlamps but I think between yours and Jon’s information I’ll be able to get the job done. I’ll post any info that I uncover. Tricky.

    Many thanks for the pages will help when installing some mesh to protect the lower rad. Cheers Tricky.
