the handbrake on a Landrover Defender is tested using a decelerometer

I,ve come across all manner of problems caused by water in that channel , its always the first place I look now

I fear you're wasteing your time and more importantly your money taking it to a local garage......you need a RR specialist ( though avoid main dealers)

Along the left side of the car, under the door kick plates is a plastic channel in which the wiring harness runs to the back of the car......the channel fills with water and rots the wiring loom joins I'm not saying this is deffenetly your cause but its worth a look before you get too involved...

That sounds like quite an accident you've had there..............good luck with it ( pics please )

all MOT testing equipment needs to be of the approved type/specification........there are no approved db meters for MOT testing .......so officially cannot be used

There are no db meters approved for MOT testing,

Appologies guys..........I got that arse about face ........:oops:

You cant have it sorned and insured , they fine you automaticaly , I suspect once someone registers it in thier name the muck will hit the fan

Approach the supplying dealer politely ask if theres anything they can help with ........such as a policy claim where the manufacturer makes a contribution , some times all of it.......but bare in mind its not the dealers responsability or decision. Second thing......if the vehicle is on...

Have you tied to pull away in D1? and if you have does it ?

Put it like this............would you use second hand brake pads ?

If skinning your knuckles on a cold day ......or popping to a food bank for your sunday dinner doesn't appeal to you ........buy a Land cruiser :rolleyes:

Its for a totally different engine ( Jaguar) to what you have in a P38 ( Rover) and wil not fit anyway

Of course no one would recommend taking the law into their own hands or discussing how to do it on a public forum, things like that are best left to the powers that be

It wont be me "popping round"..........but if it was my car/ money I couldn't just walk away

Organised professional bastids still bleed and feel pain and you'd be amazed at what will burn with a 'lil help from a hydrocarbon

Assuming these crooks get prosecuted cant the OP seek restitution under the Proceeds of Crime Act ?

I've been to Jaywick.......its not as bad as Wolverhampton :rolleyes:
