Is there any know way to repair a corroded tail gate. I know its an ally skin on a steel frame but wondered if there was a solution.

My front propshaft has failed, managed to find the problem before it let go. I am looking for a replacement and ebay sellers are saying that they fit all models. I know that is not true so how can I check that I have the correct part if I buy from one of these scrappers?

Hi all. a few months ago I cleaned my window switch pack as a window was not moving. All was well after taking off the black switch caps and covering the switch pack in electrical contact cleaner. Now all but one window is not working. Am I missing a step in cleaning the switch pack? The...

Do you think you overheated your brake fluid given there was a lot of smoke and heat?

Hi there all, I need pointing in the right direction. Car was difficult starting last night and 1/4 mile later it gave out whilst driving. when the engine stopped I put it into neutral and coasted to a spot I could safely stop. I THINK I ran out of diesel, fuel gauge not working and it was...

Don't worry about it. I posted in haste and researched at leisure. The answer is a firm NO to them being compatible.

Hi all, I have a replacement auto dim rear view mirror as my current one does not work. I purchased it off flea bay and put it in my shed for a couple of years. I finally decided to replace it this week and only then found out that it is a different part from my current mirror and the...

Had a similar problem where door would not open at all. Use a long piece of wire between the window and the inner rubber seal, push down on the plastic part of the lock that the cable for the inner door release is connected to the lock. I had a post on it so look it up. Also use a bright...

Hose from intercooler came loose as I forgot to tighten up the jubilee clip. Pulled up at home to lots of smoke from under the bonnet, opened it to see all the smoke coming from under the heat shield. Left it to cool and was able to start it again, just have not driven it to see if the damage...

Not so good, the turbo blew up driving it back from the MOT garage. bugger! Just a part of owning a Rangie

Getting my diesel back on the road after 2 years was quite easy thanks to this forum. I forgot how helpful everyone is and the massive bank of knowledge and experience everyone holds. So car passed MOT and I am back in the Rangie zone (I think there is a song in that).

I have see the YouTube vids too. There are a couple of sensors by the base of the seatbelts under the kick plate where the wiring loom runs as well as the front crash sensors. Also, there is one behind the panel next to the accelerator. I cleared the fault and it did not come back during the...

To start with I am well aware of the required precaution to disconnect the battery for a minimum of 30 mins before looking at the airbag system. Nanocom is reporting "SRS error 004 Open Circuit. Intermittent fault". So it looks like I need to check a connector. I have been through the...

@nigelbb Thanks for the advice, this was exactly how I managed to get the door open. That trick saved me hours of effort and all done and back together in an hour. Once the door trim was off I sprayed the latch with brake cleaner to try and get as much crud off as I could. Then sprayed it in...

Sounds like you are about to have tailgate issues!

@nigelbb - Thanks, I will give it a go this luchtime.

Hi all again. I am getting my doozel back on the road after a 20 month break. All is good, starts etc, apart from the drivers door will not open from inside or outside. When I lock or unlock it from the fob or lift the door button, the locks open and immediately close. When the lock is...

I didn't make the tool, I found it on YouTube. Here are the links. The first one should be irrelevant if you do not adjust the collar as advised earlier.

Hi all, long time no speak. I am starting to get my P38 back on the road and one of the issues is that the SRS light is permanently on. What are the steps to diagnose the fault after checking the yellow connectors under the seats? I have read the previous posts but do not know what checks to...

The seal is all in one with no end, that is why its tight.
