probably compression test from the glowplug socket, but I Am sure someone will confirm that shortly on RR engines

maybe.. pre-wired or something (I don't have steering wheel controls personally) Just interested really as I don't think Im missing anything. All the functions work (perm live, ignition live etc)

Thanks - I read in RAVE where the actual shoe adjuster is, but is the cable adjuster under the car or do I need to be removing the handbrake gaiter?

thanks - not knowing the ins and outs, what oil seal?

sometimes, my park brake sticks. so, put in drive, release park brake and no movement, handbrake handle gone stiff where the shoes are loaded up - normally have to just go backwards an inch, then all good. Are they easy enough to service? I am guessing its all crudded up or needs some adjustment..

anyone know what this interestnig connector does (or did when it was connected to the factory system?)

Thats a well known and well documented procedure, but worth bumping now and then (for later cars, you just put the key in the ignition, that syncs it.)

left a spanner in there?

Good call, I'll drain the Rad at the weekend and refill whatever is needed. Do you need the heater on max heat aswell for getting air out? Just not keen to disturb anything as it runs and cools so sweet at the mo, and I've had all sorts of air lock issues in other makes before..

Thanks - mine will be the same, being an 01 car also. Might have to live with it for a little while, until funding allows more RR spend :-) (house move out the way!)

My coolant doesn't have much, and I mean not a lot of OAT in it - so I'd like to replace/renew Is there any special procedure to avoid air locks etc as there is on many cars? Thing is it has no leaks and works perfectly so I don't want to knacker it - would really like to just drain a bit out...

Next time my missus goes shopping and hears something 'fall off' I'll let you know where so you can go have a look. I've lost a couple of them over time

Would I ( Handy with spanners) be ok fitting glow plugs or is it a special tool/ garage job?

- yeah, I know - I was just referencing the fact I'd seen that issue - sorry to confuse. Possibly the glow plugs but not sure how to test them or just replace them? I'll try three or four pre-heats and see if they are working but weak. Also check that master fuse for them as mentioned - Do you...

I've read on here about hot starting issues and fixing by 'tricking the car into thinking its cold or something.. mine really doesn't like starting first thing. Almost like the pre-heat isn't working.. cranks.. coughs and splutters and eventually starts. once its run, it'll start all day first...

mmm this could be the rear offside door then, as that won't operate the courtesy lights, and the car doesn't know its open (locked the keys in a few weeks back as that door was open, the car locked itself thinking no one had opened a door, then I knocked the door shut) I also can't operate that...

Can't seem to work out why my central locking locks and unlocks while I am driving thought the key might be at fault as it was in reasonably bad cond, so have refurbed it, all looks fine but when I drive, at random times the locks go down, and back up, and down.. etc no rhyme or reason. What...

Ive just replaced my stereo with an after market one (I have the plug and play ISO connected variety so was easy) question - above the standard ISO for speaker and power etc, is a small yellow plug with a couple of wires in it plugged into what looks like an ISO slot (same width) but isn't whats...

hahahahahahahhahahah lmao

all you need is the phone number of a recovery service :-) however, I do have an iphone, and its f***in great. :-)
