Re your starting problems, is the engine and starter physically connected electrically to the chassis and battery negative?

Whatever I do today, I have professional help!

Apparently, almost all the stuff I ordered beforw and during our summer vacation, ehich is ending tomorrow unfortunately, has been delivered. My catsitting dad was so kind to also take delivery for that. He just told me that it looks like...

As promised before and after piccies

Jet washed all the axle oil & mud off the underside so I can see if there are any other oil leaks.

My dearest wife paid for the RR to have new roof lining fitted today. Picks to follow tomorrow. Looks 100% better now. :banana: :banana:

Has anyone ever had the one way valve in their ABS pump fail? Since i got my P38, when the ABS pump is not running it would make a very soft rythmic ticking. So making an edjucated guess i thought it was the one way valve that was leaking and...

Thanks.👍 Problem is it's through the clear coat and the paint layers. You'd think it had sat for years rather than a veh that is rinsed, washed, polished, resin'd regularly 😔She's going in for a little bit of body work maintenance around...

Try wet sanding- 3000 grit, then good polish something like Scholl s3 gold, that will remove the sanding marks and bring the panel up. When I got my 4.2 the previous owners house was surrounded by trees and he obviously didn’t do the roof much...

Just been out and cleaned her from top to bottom, including a wax. Ended up furious at myself. I don't usually get steps out to clean the roof, as I can park next to a raised bit and reach all areas. Today I got the steps out. At some point I...

I'm lucky enough to live in the flight path of the Spitfire from Headcorn Aerodrome, it passes over my house half a dozen times a day in the warmer months. If you pay the really big bucks for the passenger experience, they will do loops and...

Absolutely is, the way it’s sat there is like it’s had the hangar built around it.

That B52 in the American hanger is massive!

WHen im in the UK istay near littlehampton and the goodwood airfield is near and often there is a spitfire flying over and if you have got a spare bit of cash you can fly one...

Took my 4.2 sc on a 6 hour round round trip from Rochdale to Duxford air museum Cambs, drove great there and back, even kept the mother in law happy! Took about £95 fuel with average of around 24-26mpg. Also for anyone not been Duxford is...

Well the car has been up on the ramp at the garage. Reckons the steering rack and track rods are fine! The only movement they can find on the front is drivers control arm bush.. which is the only one I've not replaced so that's no surprise. So...

Oi! You leave the Sierra out of this, I had a few of those and I always loved them.

Sierra jelly mold styling comes to mind on the current crop.

Very true even though 405s and new one are bigger than 322s like you say I think they were the last true Range Rover shape where anyone even them not into cars could identify a Rangie from a corner or roof or headlamp, everything else especially...

Yes I have had a lot good comments on mine. These l322 seem to get noticed a lot more than the newer ones. II think a lot is to do with looks, a Range Rover should be big, wide, high and look like a big tonka toy. The new one with the rounded...

Was wondering if anyone else has noticed an increase in L322s being noticed by general public presumably since Harry’s farm did a video, Ian Tyrell did one and obviously clarksons farm all feature older l322s despite all 3 having enough cash to...

Bigger hammer :)

I didn't even use a puller, I just bashed it with a big hammer and a piece of wood on the end of the shaft.

Having wasted more time on the phone today, a friend from Luxembourg called in at the recovery truck place at Houffalize. Haad a lengthy chat with matey there who explained that the fan belt had lost about a third of its width at one point and...

After more hours hanging on the phone to the UK breakdown people, we've all tried various LR garages in the area. Most have closed down for the summer holidays, they won't re-open for another 2 weeks! There's an offer to repatriate the car in...

all well and good, but a lot is down to opinion (and subsequently experience) of the tester.. one mans advisory is another mans fail. tolerances in older cars arent the same as modern cars. if you've only ever seen modern, you'll fail an old car...

Good luck with that, I remember the UK MOT garages always finding a fault and being disappointed when I took the vehicle away to DIY the repair. Here they test stations are independent and not part of a garage.

Rear airbags replaced last night. First time I've ever changed them without one being split; didn't think about what a ball-ache it is to refit the rear arch liner after removing it to release the pressure from the valve block. The good news...

Got me MOT due in September but found out yesterday the place I have always used for many years now got burnt to he ground a couple of months back.. As Tony the owner is in his 80's and his son is now 60 it doesn't look like they will be...

Did this a while ago but needed decent rain shower to test it ... Leak in boot fixed. It was the bonding along the top of the rear quarterlight window. Smear of sealant in the gap and she's dry again.
