Grrrrrr's latest activity

It gets more complex with waves between different models. We've been here a few times over the years. Post in thread 'The landy wave?' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/the-landy-wave.382890/post-5453308

The locking works because triggering the button microswitch (i.e. CDL switch) makes the BECM thinks you're inside the car & want all the doors to lock. Conversely when unlocking using the button, the mod makes the BECM think you want to unlock...

the remote station installed gives power to the motor that opens and closes, then the cdl does the rest. so as you say, it makes the becm believe that someone is inside and blocks the lock... if you have the immobilizer active it is a...

Sounds like the turbo pipe has popped off. Or is collapsing under load.

Don't worry about the staining, as long as it's not raised or dented but flat and checked with a straight edge to be found good you can rebuild it. 👍 If you start scrubbing and remove any metal at all you'll run the risk of a burn through or...

Dug it out for a little towing jobby, well say little its london and back, it was either this or the 320d transit

You could try a bit of diesel or ATF with some fine wet and dry and very lightly with fingertips try rubbing it gently and see if that gets the stain off. Check regularly to make sure the metal is not scratched or worn by it.

Sounds a bit odd. There are 3 microswitches on the driver's door. One is the central locking so if that fails (closed circuit) the central locking won't work.

Now that might be a very useful post if Huf stop supplying replacement keys and Les from Classic Rides North Wales pops his clogs.

Hi everyone, I still have to unlock the brake calipers, change discs and pads and bleed, but since I have little time these days and the weather is bad, I took advantage to do some light work. On the advice of user @RobertZ , I checked the FIP...

I don't think I would want anything spoiling that mating surface from being as tight as possible. Think of the pressure when that gas mixture ignites and how long a bit of sealant might last against those hot gases burning. The valley gasket or...

More an excuse then anything, i genuinely think my vans brillant but comfort factor and losing 80 miles a tank isn't really that big a deal at all on a 1200mile stint, and the van doesn't make v8 noises 🤣

Same again. Nothing on the way home. Bizarre!

280miles down 300 to go with a range rover classic chassis on board

WTF?! To get the L405?

Could be. Did it this morning so we'll see what happens this evening.

And today, although strangely only on my way to work, not back. I begin to suspect low volts after a cold night as it only started after the temperature dropped.

AN stands for army navy. Its a very universal usage fitting style developed by the americans in like 1930 i think to be field serviceable, reusable and not need any special tools to assemble. Most of the stuff is rated upto 1000psi and 260 deg...

Great news. Went to hospital yesterday for colonoscopy. Camera right up to where splice is from tumour removal and all clear . NO signs of cancer only a non cancerous polyp found and that was removed. Slept a lot better last night :vb-angel1...

AN?

So this whole story started with my engine oil cooler lines starting to weep oil where the rubber joins to the steel hoses. I had some AN8 bungs welded onto my engine and gearbox oil coolers and fitting some very nice looking lines. Then it kinda...

Suppose that makes sense, front airbags were rated for a 10 year life (15 year side airbags). I can't imagine anyone ever had them replaced so even the youngest are looking at 23 years old.

That's a poor excuse, there is more than one customer that requires replacements at different times, No, it's Greed.

It's probably beads of sweat falling from your anxious forehead as you look intently for the problem. ;) When I first got my 2000MY P38 the footwells were so wett there was surface water like a puddle. Stealer took it back and claimed the screen...

Or possibly the windscreen bond has let go somewhere.

AIRBAG FAULT came up today. Nice.

@Mark Piercy found some cheaper ones in Europe.

No. Straight connector onto pipe a nd then barb connector with compression fitting the other side. Then the reverse to get on the other metal pipe. I'll post links when I get near a PC.

They used to do nice thick ones to take up the gap. Ordered some parts from China on eBay. Hopefully won't be long arriving.

Stereo slot access needs fingers like ET. Clips are too firm to get a blade in. I thumped the clock, as per other postings here - the light came on - sorted…! I am learning the LR way of fixing things: I kept getting an alarm that screenwash...
