Good that you're getting somewhere but I'm sorry to say that I don't think you're done. You will need to get the wipers off and find out what is missing under the scuttle, my guess is there's a grommet out and the drainage under the scuttle is...

found a friend a rather nice D1 commercial.. :)

Not just the L322. I would go as far as to say: The P38 is different... to every other car! Man that is a complicated arrangement! @Flossie - Stand really still and don't do ANYTHING until you have a new battery! :)

Am I wrong then? The key fob battery is needed for the immobiliser too? I've never known a car that has that, I thought it was proximity reading the chip in the key that has no power source. I've never had a P38 but this is a terrifying...

Just central locking as far as I know

Yes, mine dim. Ordered a standard bulb kit ta.

Which diag have you ordered? For your suspension you're going to need to see that it is building pressure and that you're getting increased readings. I would imagine that you have a split air spring on the front and that the compressor is weak...

If the LCD went blank then it's the bulb backlight that's blown

Had a similar thing on my brother's RRS. Changed the EPB and fitted new brakes, on the near side it's fine because the shoes are one way up but on the offside when they are the other way up the cable just falls off the shoe every single time you...

LEDs are often directional, the cheap kits are usually garbage. Please, PLEASE don't change it to blue, it'll look sh*te! I'd stick with the proper bulbs, they go black over time anyway and with a fresh set of bulbs you'll probably be...

This is a great thread to follow along with. People often underestimate rust and just how involved the repairs are. You've been lucky here Gary to find such a helpful lunatic to take this on!

Suspension will be the easy bit. Don't know why but I really like resolving suspension issues on these things...? Probably because so many people are so terrified of it and in reality, it's just not that bad at all. I wish I had the time to...

I agree with all above. our 2011 had new bags all round last year (i think, could have been year before :oops:) Started with 1 leaky bag on the front. we had the backs done 3mths later before any leaks. Have also rebuilt the compressor. So with...

I'd very much doubt that you have a height sensor issue BTW. Just have a look in your 4x4 settings screen and see where the markers are for the wheel heights to confirm. As you say you can hear the compressor running quite a bit it must be...

Leaking air spring for the win; it will effectively balance the pressure across the front so both sides will drop over night. They crack quite badly over time and when you lift them or do work on them it's usually the nail in the coffin (ask me...

Sounds like a typical leaking air spring.

Pop the A pillar trim off while you're in there. One screw behind the plastic Airbag cap at the top, think it's a T30 and then pour a watering can over the top edge to the windscreen, do it all the way across the top of the screen as you'll be...

+1 for this

Years ago, I knew a guy that grew cress on the carpet inside the door shut of his mate's Marina as it was so damp in there! Thing is, this one's got water splashing to about this height so there's no way that's coming through the scuttle and...

Did a little video for you on mine draining water, sorry about the wind noise. Maybe a daft question but was the panel already missing from the side of your dash or is there water behind it? I don't think it's the scuttle panel that's causing...

If it's draining slowly, it ain't right. Put some water in there, hit it with the airline, then wipe your face and change your shirt etc. as you will be wearing a fair bit of muck! Ask me how I know... Or cover over it a bit with a cloth, you...

Dunlops a bit pricey but Proevo+ about right. Never heard of Proevo+ before. Not sure I'd risk them over Dunlop, not even being 30% cheaper!

I use Dunlops on my L322 and haven't had any issues but that said, I didn't have any issues with the old ones... Until I did. Have you looked at Maltings? They have them on their site here...

That is a severe leak isn't it? TO have the water splashing on the door panel like that it may as well have the window open! I think you need to give it a bit of a hosing with a friend sitting in it. Have you cleared the drains out? I've...

I can't say for sure on the number of relays. The wife has just gone out in hers again so I can't check it. Damn thing is never still! The diagrams can be a little hit and miss as they are generic I think for all regions and options. it is...

Ah so that is why you never use one word when ten will do :rolleyes:

Is the pump running for the washers? The strainers will often clog up and although it tries to operate it may well not actually be able to draw any fluid. If I were you, I'd try a test lamp on the connector for the pump before you go too far as...

These any use?
