Drove from West Somerset to the very north of the Yorkshire Dales for a mountain bike festival. Roof tent, awning, 2 up and all associated kit in the car. 313 miles in total, 3/4 of a tank and avg MPG (according to computer) for 41.8. Car was absolutely faultless.. except for the lack of...

There’s already one on order.

Update on this. Tested on a load tester, only showing 732A out of what should been 1000A, so weak there! Battery was sat at 12.5v turned off and with the engine running it was at 13.7v. Looks like the culprit is just the battery.

Will do, a good friend with the diag software has been around LR products for decades so he’s got a wealth of general Lr knowledge to tap in to.

Thanks for the response all. I’m going to get it hooked on to a load tester, and see what’s going on. With the engine running we’re only seeing a battery voltage of 12.5/12.6v so something is amiss.

Is that the Mobiletron VR-VW010 you’ve mentioned in another thread a few years back?

Christ.. So loosen -ve, ignition on for 10s, turn off and remove key, then countdown of 17s to remove old battery and fit new? Or is it 17s to just disconnect -ve and then all the time in the world to fit new? I’ve done the window resets a few times due to sticky windows so no drama there. Is...

Hi all, when I replaced the ABS sensor the other week, a friend had his SnapOn diag tool hooked up checking for a few other issues (glow plugs being one), but it did show up saying the battery voltage was low at 10.7v. The battery has been in there a 🤷‍♂️ amount of time, so probably worth...

ABS sensor today.. I’d tried previously but it had decided to ‘permanently’ attach itself to the hub. One mate and a drill and gas torch later we’ve removed it, cleared the codes and thankfully it’s fixed. No beep beep beep on start up now!

I am stupid. Took it for a drive. Soon as I pulled away it was dead silent.

I’ve just replaced the viscous fan on the P38. Yet the load roar noise is still present, and the fan appears to be running at full chat even when cold. There’s a LOT of air being blown by the fan. I let the engine get up to temp and it’s still there and loud. Is it likely a faulty fan or am I...

I’ve taken the advice and told him to put the torch away. Picking up some penetrating fluid later from ScrewFix and will begin the soaking to see if that helps before drilling.

Got a friend coming over in a few days with a blow torch to give me a hand. Can’t be stuck if it’s a liquid.

Went to tackle an ABS sensor.. and discovered it’s rusted itself in. Bugger.

Regassed the air con - used the stuff Ruberknees linked to a few pages back but also did some stop leak. There’s definitely a leak that Halfords can’t find on their machine, nor can a local garage I trust when filled with dye. Hopefully this seals..

There’s a definite click from there but there is certainly a squeak!

Well while I was giving everything a good old spray of GT85 to try and eliminate this squeak, I dropped the bench seat back down and… SQUEAK! Video clicky It’s the sodding head rest!

Thought it had solved it on the way in as no squeak. The way home? Yup, still there, certainly hasn’t made it worse though. Gave it a closer listen on the way back, and the clarity of the squeak may well suggest it’s coming from the cabin. I’m going to get some GT85 in the rear seat linkages...

Just checked the parcel shelf clips on the passenger side (where I suspect the noise is coming from) and the little bit of foam tape on each tab had disintegrated and wasn’t doing much so I’ve squeezed some mastic tape in there to see if it helps. Fingers crossed! Thank you for all the help!

I’ll double check them then. The parcel shelf is regularly removed and seats folded as I carry an MTB in the back so may have knocked it. 38r, 30f. I am running slightly larger than stock tyres, think that could be a factor?
