    Cheers guys I’ll look into it. Unlikely low battery. I’ve over 1000cca and it’s pretty new. Was 10min into a journey so unless the alternator is bad I’d hope it was pretty full

    just highlighting it had a recent pump so people don’t comment it! Guessing I need to scan it to determine which sensor?

    Morning all. Uneventful week and a bit. Drove 260miles round trip to the Billing off road show and managed 30.3mpg! The vibration / rattle at 50mph plus when you very very lightly tough throttle or lift off still occurs. I'll check UJ's soon. Seems to be that it disapears when you apply more...

    Happy Bank Holiday weekend all. Couple of jobs ticked off. Pulled apart drivers door latch and checked some things. Nothing to report so I’ll monitor. changed diff fluid, checked transfer box level (was done in the last 10k) Going to grease prop UJs too - no play felt. Just a weird one -...

    Could someone educate me on these remote jog switches, where to find one and installation. I'm actually going to be leaving the car sat for 10 days and this presumably is better than unplugging RF or disconnecting the battery.

    there’s no mention that it was 2nd hand. About £310 for the job all in to replace it on the receipt if that gives indication

    Just quickly done the Thermostat change. Not too bad even with the 1 piece cowl. About 45 minutes plus bleeding. Just waiting for it to cool now and I’ll top it off. see photo of old stat going to get after the doors this afternoon!

    Did it again on the way home. Lock and unlock rapidly several times in the space of a few seconds. Interestingly after closer inspection its all the doors minus the front passenger door. That remains unlocked. It functions perfectly in normal operation with the key and fob

    It's a strange one for sure. On the plus side I’ve pressure tested the the new/old bags. Cleaned them up and they are good to go. Not a second too late either.

    Could you elaborate? What I have noticed is when it was locking randomly it was only the drivers side front and rear doors most times.

    Definitely a bit of water yes. But assuming it's the original spring I'd of thought it would be worse so happy days. Does seem that way! I just lock on the key when I pull up and some point later it starts to work again.

    Rear Tailgate Release Button pulled apart at lunch. No particular sign of major water ingress. In fact I would say probably on the better side. Cleaned, greased and installed again working well. Moving onto front. First port of call is the non bloke who changed the latch last time ripped the...

    Interestingly door latch replaced in 2014, roughly 6-5k miles ago. Unfortunately I don’t think this makes it any less likely to be acting up now Good news is the waterpump was replaced 7k miles ago. Bad news is that’s 9 years ago. Other history found is it had a new transfer box in the same...

    What do we all think about the doors locking and unlocking randomly when still and driving? Door latch actuator possibly?
