That makes sense. Yes I have read that powering up with the motors not screwed in place will cause calibration issues. Thanks

This is what I have done and it all fits cable length wise. 1 has no tape on it at all to passenger side. 2 wrapped with a green tape 6-8 inches from the motor end to the driver side. 1 of these 2 has an individual blue tape at each end of the cable fits upper or lower. the other of these 2 has...

Do not have a grey one. Blue one reaches to the top easily. Hmm. I better no power up until I find out for sure. Nothing in Rave.

Hi I am fitting 3 new Valeo blend motors from Island 4x4 and need a sanity check on the colour coding. The new ones are coded with tape as follows. 1 has no tape on it at all. 2 wrapped with a green tape 6-8 inches from the motor end. 1 of these 2 has an individual blue tape at each end of the...

Ah, ok. I thought the whole thing may need removing and striping then a reassemble. Do you know of any instructions for this on line? Or any tips? (thanks for tip on quadrant) Rave seems to treat it essentially as a non-serviceable unit bar the obvious replaceable items. There is no AC...

Looks like it is best to go for some good second hand ones with a 90 day warranty then rather than Britpart. Having said that, what if they do go wrong at any time soon. It is probably worth going for genuine ones for some (albeit small) peace of mind. I better order these I think...

I took the dash out today. What a nightmare job. A few queries: 1. I am planning to replace all 3 blend motors, but not sure whether to get Britpart, or would even second hand (90 warranty) be better? The OEMs were not great, so maybe the Britparts will be no worse, probably better than...

Oh well, long time no posts.......... I have not had an MOT failure for about 3 years now, so it has all been going far too well. Let's face it a 1996 P38 is not a teenager now, so to be expected. The main failure is corroded brake lines front to rear. Which is kind of understandable and also...

Some git smashed my rear windscreen last night then legged it. Found a lump of chalk about 2 inches across in the boot this morning. Bastard(s). Do not need all this rain too; otherwise I would be sleeping in it with a baseball bat.

Interesting. I have been thinking to do the same. Still need to reroute the brake lines. Checking Rave for the later model info and it is not too clear. Are they routed along the crossmember near the airsprings? I see flexihoses are used for the final line to the calipers. Hangers will be...

She passed!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!":)

Hi yes, replaced with new Dunlops last year. Not as hard a job as I thought.

Its that time of the year again. Booked it in for Thursday so fingers crossed. Very crossed.

I ran with a stat that had failed open (effectively bypassing it) for ages. When hot it only just got out of the blue zone. Ran fine though, no issues at all. I almost prefer it as these things run way too hot in my opinion. As soon as I put a new genuine LR stat in my problems started

I have had that, no end of hassles.......

First time I logged on in a week or so, I do not like it either........ But I hope it will grow on me.

Update. Resolved! Squeak gone, vibration gone. Front propshaft. A UJ had worn to the status of "really bad" and had damaged the yoke too. I am so glad it did not fall off. Thanks to my local indie specialist Ray at RHunt4x4 who I turn to for anything I cannot do myself. He sourced a...

Oh dear.......

Not a for a home DIY job then for an amateur....... I better look at getting a quote. I would imagine a competent professional could do both in 2 hours + parts? Cheers
