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 blocked. Bear in mind that there's a cavity big...

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 prospect to me If you need battery power for that...

Just central locking as far as I know

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. The rear should lift first and then the front...

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 install the, Had to put a cable tie around it to...

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 surprised at how bright everything is. Also, the LEDs...

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 "pop down" and give you a hand as you're in such a...

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 unusual and you shouldn't be too aware of it...

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 how I know). The good news is that they're...

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 amazed how far water will travel. Actually...

+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 back that far to there. Sunroof drain and coming...

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 your issue.
