Found it ! It's upside in the access compartment. Now have a working rear washer for the first time in 6 years.

I have finally replaced my upper tailgate and carefully attached a string to enable re-running the washer on the new tailgate pipe . I splashed out and bought a new non-return valve. Now I can't find the bottom end of the pipe in the access compartment. I assumed that it should be downwards in...

Has there been a change of ownership at Emmot's of Colne ? Let's just say I won't be doing any more business there.

Gentlemen I am grateful to all of you for your comments. It can be worrying when you find unanimity on LZ !! I think that I will simply sink another barrowload of cash into my P38 2.5D which I have had for six years and thought I had dealt with all of it's problems.......what a naïve fool! It...

Thanks for the advice, Saint. It was a trade in at my local indy and they know the seller ( and me) : they're tidying up some minor cosmetics and I had my first look this morning. I'll try to get myself up to speed on the issues but will never reach the experience of you guys for which I am...

I'm looking at changing my 1997 2.5D for a 1999 4.6 Vogue petrol. The Vogue looks pretty good and everything seems to be working. Good service history and tidy looking. I haven't been able to take it out yet but I'm not familiar with the 4.6. What should I be looking out for ? He's looking for...

Hi Surplus If there's anything you need brought over from this side of the pond give me a shout. I'm in the USA two or three times a year and have friends in Georgia. We fish in Montana ( May July & October this year) I take it that you have RAVE ?

Just found this section. Does anybody know if we have any members in Orkney ? I've just been offered an "M reg 4. Range Rover" ( all I know at the moment) apparently coming from Orkney.

Thanks Wammers. I'm going to get the old one refurbed so it's available : any recommendations who should do it and does it make economic sense ?

I'm having injection pump replaced ( present one leaking and I will have it re-furbed) I am having difficulty sourcing LRT-12-119 and LRT-12-121. Any advice ? Thanks as always.

Follow the advice. Get the cables and software from Datatek. I'm travelling Edinburgh to Aberdeen week after next.( Travel Monday return Friday.) If it can be arranged I'll be happy to show you the stuff. Its cheap and simple. You should not be without it.

I wouldn't have thought of that.....I'll let you know how it goes......is that all I should wear ? I'd hate to have an accident with the dipstick.

You sound fit. In my case it's pie times the square of f*** all.

SPEAK UP......SOME OF US ARE GETTING ON A BIT......

I don't want to hijack the thread but I'll be replacing mine over the summer ( replacement standing by for fitting).1. Any hints/tips/warnings ? 2. Is the valve just a pull out ? ( mine hasn't worked for 6 years !)

Thanks Wammers : checked & they were OK. A full overnight charge on the battery seems to have done the trick. For my education , why are P38's so hard on batteries ( or is it sensitive to diminishing power in the battery ?)

Battery is only 3 months old !!

A couple of times when I just switch on ignition I get "Alternator Fault" message. Starts fine, message disappears, runs fine and no "book" fault appears. Haven't run Faultmate yet. Alternator replaced about 1k miles ago. Any comments/advice ? TAKdriver

Happy to do that : I'll bring it in £3 used notes.

I'll be in Colorado Springs in August and a buddy coming over from CO Springs at end April. Anything ( lightweight !) that you could use from this side ?
