Hi Tony...Yes, it's been a long time Bud. Obviously been sorting things out and having to learn domestic skills at my age is quite challenging to say the least !! Doing okay though and getting back into the swing of things.

The inner section of the pulley is located on a spline at the end of the compressor shaft, it's probably rusted on. Give it a good dose of Plus Gas or other penetrating fluid not WD 40 which is useless at freeing rusted parts, and leave it overnight at least. A 3 legged gear puller should shift it

"Cheapest Parts " on Ebay should have what you are looking for their prices and delivery costs are good also. You could ring them on 07707 723003 They are based in Bedworth near Coventry

Removal of the battery and tray to access the starter motor is quite an easy job providing the battery clamp bolt is not rusted in. When removed the starter motor to bell housing bolts are accessible, at a guess it should take around half an hour or so to remove the starter motor.Make sure that...

Hi there, Yes I still have it. Let me have your email address on a PM and I will send you a copy. Regards John

Jaysus....I started this topic before I had grey hair and didn't need Viagara lol :D:D:D

At Easter 2014, the alternator on my 2002 TD4 died on me. Unfortunately being Bank Holiday and not having my tools as I was away from home in the Midlands, I went to an auto electrical repair shop where they replaced the alternator with a new (Not recon) unit. They did not swing the aircon...

Hi Tony....Things all over the place mate. PM "Gemsdad" for details. All the best.

As Wammers says. Diagnostics just forces the gauges to read either empty, 1/4 full, 1/2 full, 3/4 full and full in order to check accuracy. In the case of the temp. gauge, it forces it to read Cold, Normal and Hot positions. It does not calibrate the gauges nor senders..

The "OLD Timer" seems to stick around bit like dog s***e on your shoe lol.:D:D:D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p

Aint seen Keith (Datatek) on here for a bit.....has he gone to ground ???????

Dunno what it is John, taken in last Friday, chest pains, sickness and loss of appetite. They suspect it may be Gall Bladder related. She's having a scan today so I will know more later. Nice 80 mile round trip from here, good job I dont have the old 4.6, P38...I would be broke in a week and...

Keeping my eye out for you !! Missus is in hospital in Bangor so I am home alone....just me, the dogs and a few full bottles to keep me company !!!

Your existing BECM can be "Unlocked" and all settings read with the BECM, SM035 software, including the keyfob data. To replace the lock, you will need the set (Ignition barrel + transponder+ tailgate + drivers door) and of course at least one key. The S/H BECM does not neccesarily, but it...

Send a pm to "Jimsnapon"....He has my old P38 full diagnostics kit, including the BECM SM035 module and knows his way round P38's. He has a small workshop in Kilmarnock as far as I know- haven't heard from him in a while. Worth a shot anyway.

Hi Hippo....None whatsoever, furthermore I am sure they improve the life of the VCU mounts/bearing assemblies due to reduced vibration and radial movement. Polybushes are resistant to oil/grease and weather deteriation. The original brackets are utilised-the original rubber/steel bushes have to...

With the trim removed, you will see two slotted screws with M8 nuts on the outside that secure the bottom of the guide rails to the door shell......do you remember poking the studs through when you refitted the regulator assembly ??. Slacken, but don't remove the nuts and try adjusting them in &...

Polybushes are the way to go. There is a place that advertises on Ebay based in Rhyl, North Wales that sells them. Had mine on for over 3 years now (Front bush) without any problems. It's generally the one that that goes. You can buy just the front or the complete set. Fit and forget !!

+1 on this ^^^^^^ I fitted a pair of Bearmachs last year and have not had any problems, The rubber "Shell" is firmer. Make sure that the space between the flingers and the bearing are well packed with grease-As per RAVE, it will help prevent ****e and water getting into the bearing.

I'm reading this post from the sidelines. My TomTom also reads about 5mph slower than the speedo on my 2002 TD4,fitted with the standard LR 16" wheels, at 70 mph on the speedo. The F/L has the factory option of 15 or 16" wheels and I am sure that LR do not have specific speedo's on the...
