48 hours with the BECM drawing 50ma is the test so far.

Looks like the P38 battery has survived being discharged to 1.48 volts. 18 hours on my home made charger (WW2 ex-government large multi tap transformer together with ex-gov WW2 ammeter and modern bridge rectifier) brought it up to 12.8 volts...

Waxed it last weekend. Got a bit of dust on this weekend Then it broke a CV joint and I found a small hole in the NSF air bag. What are the chances of both things going on that front corner? I am loving the convenient nature of these...

It very rarely comes through the body from underneath but you never know🤷

Wipe out any fluids first, and then vacuum all the loose debris, especially around the piston rings. Check all the core plugs for rust & signs of leaks.

Just try and get as much of the crap out of the cylinders as you can. Obviously all the threads in the block. You can also flush the coolant passages with a hose pipe just to get some of the loose debris out.

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...

It was intereesting to see the mpg on a long motorway run. I wonder how the sticky rear brake affected the mpg? :)

thank you very much Tim Apple

Not too difficult if this screw isn't rusted in

Check for air intake pipes that may have come loose during the engine being tilted to accommodate the gbox work. 🤔 Any problems before the replacement box?

When I had mine, I did it's first service and changed the pollen filters after that, I had a slight leak, never leaked before, I tried to scrape off the old foam seal made a right mess of it, sealed 'em back on with silicone and, just ordered new...

A good question, unless there was already an underlying issue that finally let fo🤷

That is deliberate to keep the economy going don't you know :rolleyes:

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

no money in it if you only get a customer every 10 years

For some reason, they just can't make anything with a half decent service life, today.

Maybe he owned an ejoke and trying to hide the added embarrassment 🤣 However there’s no proof of owning any car

I don't think here is the target audience for that :)

Where abouts in Europe are you franky lar👍

Bottom right in that picture looks questionable to me ?

It may be the oring inside the plastic head that has been damaged or aged? 🤔

Just take the centre dash panel out & sort it properly. Takes about 10mins to get side panels off, lower panel under steering wheel, & release the 4 screws for HEVAC panel, plus slide the radio out. Then you can unscrew the centre dash &...

+1 on thumping it Landy-style. The light came on. Unbelievable.

Is this post just a ploy to get people to watch the video? 🤔

No. You are trying to get it removed cos you are an idiot :p. Can you post a link to the video? The great LZ collective can then decide. J

Check the Pollen filter covers as said, if the foam has gone flat or has broken up it will let water into the filters and leak down through the heater motor. Pour the water on the front windshield and pull the filters out afterwards. If they are...

It's not complicated, you just have to remove the plastic trims at each end of the windscreen. The foam is a waste of time, I use perforated metal and add it to the ends that the foam doesn't cover.

Could you post the link for the glove and cubby box struts please lad, I had replaced mine a few year ago and they both gave up after a year or so 🤯 that was about 6yrs ago😝
