Happy to report after almost a year she’s still oil tight at the front seal. I think Speedi Sleeves are a good solution to worn seal running surfaces.

great!, I have found it: https://www.skf.com/in/products/industrial-seals/power-transmission-seals/wear-sleeves/skf-speedi-sleeve/productid-99192

Changing the bulbs on the instrument cluster is dead easy, just remove the module and you can get at them all from the back. +1 for Les on the key front. I got a spare made a couple of years back. JLR gave me the lock barrel code and all I had...

Surprising as the ride on mine is really good only bettered in the cars I have had by the XJS. I do run locked at motorway height which softens things up a bit.

If the new oil you added has cleaning agents in it, it will probably loosen up a decent amount of gunk. So i would do another oil change reasonably soon. The how soon would be based on how dirty i think the engine is and how expensive the new oil is.

I've got the yellow polys on my anti roll bar but did fit oem spec bushes into the hockey sticks. 👍

It’s one of Les’ options one the order page.

Yesterday i took my 1999 P38 for MOT at 2.45 pm and by 3.30 i drove it out with a pass. Not bad seeing it hasnt been on the road for 5 years but before it went in i had to replace 5 bulbs but that was all today i taxed it.

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

Possibly the hole the ball-joint goes into has been deformed so it just wrecks the new ball-joint? Or someone fitted Britpart.

As long as the little rod is attached and don’t fall off :vb-groan2: . J

So you can just use the key blade to operate the car.

I have, don't have the eka code either.

Think he’s already done that if I remember. J

If Flossie has a Nanocom, all he needs to do is turn off the Immobiliser and EKA functions in the BECM, then the FOB battery will not matter.

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! :)

That is true. On the diesel, the immobiliser is actually a mobiliser, the BECM sending a code the the EDC to allow starting. It's a fixed code and if the BECM loses the code, the only way to recover is via diagnostics, you read the EDC code and...

Just used this today. Thanks for the info 😁👍

That's one good reason why this forum is greeeeeat🤩

At least one place will send you a device in the post that will record the output from you FOB from which they can produce a new FOB after you return it.

No adaption values on the diesel, I believer there are on later petrols.

Non standard shocks?

Cheap/britpart poly is always going to be better than worn out/broken rubber But how long will they last?

People seem to get varied results. Preference may be a part of it but some people report improvement, some none, few have even gone full polybush only to revert to OEM because it ruined it? When replacing old worn OEM with brand new polys it’s...

I put them on mine. Result was better than the knackered oem rubber

Fitted 'em to mine felt no difference, still rides like shít. :vb-biggrin: no real change.

That's good as I googled wessex land-rover in Portsmouth and no result unfortunately

when i emailed classic rides (Jan 2022) I said I had key #2 and could he make key #1 and the reply was yes. the link provided on email no longer works...
