I think it's penny pinching, the dip stick and tube costs money, a sensor is cheaper and fashionable for marketing.

As we speak the car is out of the alarm state and can be started! First I want to thank everybody who chimed in with information and sharing their experiences. Now the solution I hear you think. So all the drivers door latch tests returned...

I remove the covers on my engines as they only cover issues 😜

It’s not like a straight swap or for the feint of heart. You don’t have a clutch pedal or associated requirements like master/slave cylinders, cooling for it, electrics all sorts of niggles before you even get to adapting a box to fit. That...

My cd player keeps playing up, says no disc when there is, stripped it down twice in my 3 years of ownership and it works again even though I can see nowt wrong through my untrained eye and I haven't adjusted anything. Got a good , apparently...

Yeah, if I had a totally knacked wheel I would have a go at recovering it then on to a pro if I couldn't get it right. This one has a few nicks and a fair bit of wear, mainly on the back, so it's worth a go with the restoration kit at £25. It's...

Looks straightforward enough to DIY to me. Looking closer at it...it doesn't look unfeasible to remove the leather and use that as a template to cut and sew on new stuff. Plenty of saddlers in Shropshire would probably have the gear and skills to...

Look what I've got hold of! Wood is good, leather is damaged and the wrong colour but I've ordered a repair kit so see how that pans out as I've never done it before.

Make it think you need to take it off.

Cross thread it, nature's loctite.

This mourning i went for a walk and sw a vehicle that i havnt heard of for sometime and thought some people might be intrested in .It was in camper form and looks the buisness for serious off road travel. Its an OKA and built in Australia...

Nah it rained 😁

Youve washed it 😱

Don't know and going away on holiday first thing in morning s can't check til I come back. I don't like driving with tyres that aren't right. have had 1 blow on motorway and that was once too many

What's the date on the rear tyres?

First pic is before next are the ones I got yesterday. On closer inspection rear tyres need replacing as side wall hazing. So that means 2 tyres to buy. On inspecting old wheels 3 tyres very good and 1 damaged plus rim is OK so 1 new tyre needed...

We all are - Normal P38 paranoia. So we just need to be methodical and thorough. Now you have a new latch start with the door latch test. Don’t rush - it takes as long as it takes so long as it’s done correctly. We need to 100% rule things out as...

Marty's door latch tests

+1 on sort the blend motors. Step-1 try moving them to 50% with Nanocom, and also try the Calibration option. Essentially you have two issues, i.e. the blend & distribution motors, plus probably no gas causing the compressor clutch error.

Sounds like a failed blend motor off the bat🤔

Isn't that what the archbishop said to the actress lol.

Like a lady I used to know. Ooops I digress :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Heat it up & peel slowly.

Best trying to remove tints on a hot day then stand a better chance of not leaving any residue behind, must have been tints in back of car I have now and it's been a bloody pain trying to get what ever it is that it leaves behind off !

Well top and bottom knuckles changed both sides good job @Flossie I took the sensors, they were used.. Both bottom knuckles were worn. Also left hand tyre was deformed on tread. Ended up buying four new (well old new) wheels with tyres for £60...

I've taken 2 abs sensors with me just in case ;) ;) 👍

If you dropped it off for me to do, I'd still be trying to get one of the abs sensors out later this afternoon. Car would be ready to pick up, all sorted, some time in October. :vb-lol: :vb-groan2::vb-groan2:. I proper struggled.

Heres abit of a dumb question: But did you actually clear the fault codes on the ABS controller? What are the current fault codes that the ABS controller gives? Did you insert the ABS sensors fully? If they not close enough to the toothed wheel...

Dropped the Rangie off this morning to have the steering knuckle joints changed . Should be ready later this afternoon for pick up

Bought her a nice new R/H front indicator cluster. Checked, double checked, checked again and bought the correct one. Only I didn't. I bought the L/H 🤦‍♀️🤣 but it's ok. It can go in the shed until needed 😁
