    Diesel starting

    And if you change the glow plugs, which is quite easy, dont trap the wire of the 4th injector in the manifold when reassembling, like some idiot on here did recently!!!!!

    M5 Roadworks between 4A and 4

    I will save any disparaging comments until after the course. I have avoided a ban previously after totting up 12 points and pleading mercy at the court so will happily take the course rather than more points. It was only yesterday morning before postie arrived that I was looking at my license...

    worn ignition barrel

    Changed my barrel quite a while ago.....no big deal having 2 different keys for doors and ignition.......especially as I dont have a spare £500

    M5 Roadworks between 4A and 4

    Just done a google. Apparently the limit is 50mph when entering the roadworks and changes to 40mph 1km in. I guess i set the cruise when I went in and didnt notice the change. No restriction southbound. Ahh well, pay the course cost and go to the naughty boys classroom!!!

    M5 Roadworks between 4A and 4

    I was heading through the roadworks on Boxing Day and have just received a nice letter from Mr Plod. I have allegedly exceeded the speed limit of 40mph!!! Now I was allegedly doing 52 in what a thought was the limit. Can anyone up that way confirm that the signs are at 40 as I am normally...

    Range rover Sport!!! lol

    Couple of friends of mine have/had RR Sports. It would be fair to say they all liked the look and the drive but the irritating small electrical gremlims has soured the love affair. The one that is still in ownership is used locally but they have lost faith in it so if going away for a few days...

    Why is my tool not doing the job? (injector )

    My comments in post 14 relate to a new injector. So yes it is possible that they leak!!!

    Why is my tool not doing the job? (injector )

    Same happened to me. It was the injector itself that was leaking so took it back for a replacement. Didnt fancy tightening the injector although that is what the part supplier wanted me to do!!!

    front wiper mechanism

    looking at the pics from Rave it looks the same as on my D1 which I done recently. When reassembling I used some baler twine under the rubber to pull it up to get the trim back underneath. Although the motor was faulty it was it also burnt out the switch stalk......or may be it was the other...
