If you are careful you can actually change the piston ring in situ.

You can remove the compressor without removing the box. Had to do it with mine.

I have to ask. Why did you want to move it anyway?

Probably the ignition barrel connection faulty.

Changed the receiver today. Everything now working fine. Evidence of water ingress on the old unit. Taped up the new unit with insulation tape to try and prevent further water problems.

Interested to know why you ask if the dash switch works. Is it on a different circuit?

Have discovered (no pun intended) through browsing the internet that the Rover 75 utilises the exact same receiver as the Discovery.

Yes everything is working apart from the C/Locking and alarm. The car runs with EKA.

I have an issue with my central locking/alarm (neither work). It's not the fob (had that checked). All the items relating to the BCU work ok. I'm leaning towards the central locking receiver. Cant get a definitive answer from the local auto electricians one of whom said it could be the BCU. I...

Could be just the AR links. Stand outside, grab hold of the rain gutter and push the body up and down. Helps if someone else is under the car to identify.

MOT exempt. How's that then?

Like I said, a broken spring not easy to see. Quite likely broken right at the bottom and the coils close up.

Check your springs for breakages. It's not always easy to see and the vehicle drives alright even when broken.

A picture would help. Cant believe there are 3 bleed nipples.

Have you tried pressing the unlock button after locking it and then repeating the lock process?

Didn't know you could get brake pads in twos!!

That's what I thought. Fob is your problem.

So how did you get in the car in the first place? Key or fob?

The radio digital switchover is on the cards and means basically our analogue car radios will become redundant. Any comments?

Check your top and bottom knuckle joints. See if the boots are split.
