Checked mate. Dry. Defo time for an alternator though.

So come on then. Who would like some winning lotto numbers???? Disconnected battery. Cleaned terminals Cleaned alternator wires. Checked fuse box (looks brand new) Thought meh lets just put power back to it. It’s like nothing has happened. Everything came back. Lights,CL, windows. Just the...

So reading up there are a couple of extra things to check but anything missed will be appreciated. So to do over the next day or so. Battery off for a good overnight charge first of all. Clean terminals and battery posts too. Check voltage drops across battery leads. Are there any specific...

12.5 v so half charged battery. 13.7 v back when to battery when running. I also noticed the osr door is locked and won’t unlock. All the rest are unlocked. I opened this this morning just before the problems started. Interior lights don’t work and nor do windows. Climate seems fine

Be nice if it was. I’ll check it later and put it on charge. Interestingly enough I did about 300miles in it on sunday which is very rare. So if anything if should be well charged. I’ll check it once I’m home.

As said the p38 has gone mad this morning. Came out. Unlocked and starts fine but the electrics have gone mental. Lights are on, off, on ,off, on ,off. Doesn't matter if switch is on or off. Wipers seem to have intermittent power on max only and stop halfway across the screen, central locking...

Steel wheels here and non swelling steel nuts :D Just got to put up with wammers telling me it looks sh1te ;)

Well at least you know you have 2 good tailgate latches :D

+1.

Touched up the peeling paint on the door frame. Put some heat on the steering bar to try and free it off. No joy.

Starting to come together :)

That’s the bit I’m on about. With the screws and rubber seal against the body.

Yes have a look at the pollen filter housings. Did mine last year and added extra sealant. Also changed the foam insert as mentioned. Page 5 of my thread shows what I did. All seems well since. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/first-landy-p38-mods-plans.313279/page-5

I’m talking about mine. Diesel manual. I don’t have to worry about the auto stuff.

Steve said it’s fairly involved but more than doable. Have been tempted for mine although he said it would probably eventually eat 5th gear in the box due to the torque.

You need to speak to Steve and Jay at kerbside cars. His mrs has been plodding about in it for the last couple of years. Got a picture here from his FB page. facebook.com/kerbsidecarspoole/

I've seen a fair few 3.0 M57's now but this is new :)

Or just a good used bonnet

Don’t mistake it for the later fiat 16v unit. This was a chain driven beast. Not a frail cambelt snapping diva. Edit. Just looked up the slang for twink. Twink is the name given to alfa and fiat’s twin cam engines. Not the other thing. :rolleyes:

Doo. I’ve checked it and all working. You’ll need to rescue 2 black plastic inserts off your original. I’ll PM you now.
