Battery reset . The auto-elec go to ! :D

Not sure you I need to 'convince' you or me. Just someone who wants 'em.

Nothings free these days ! Except those little paper napkins . . .

☹️ To be honest Selectro don't seem to be the most popular. Though I wish someone was selling when these failed to function. Bizarrely I did search and found they seem to be quite popular in other countries fetching many $$$. Shame really as the operation was better than the MAP I had many moons...

Pair of Selectro Free Wheel Hubs, taken off Series LandRover. One side does not engage as a spring tang has snapped on selector. Think I over-wound it but did work fine before my stupid mistake. £50 ono

I paid about £14 for a full set of roof rail seals, eight in total. In truth they are basically dense foam pads that you could remove straighten and refit with a good sealer. Hang on. I'm talking Disco' 2, but guess they gonna be similar. The leaks certainly are ! Good look.

How long since it was sealed ? I found with mine the drain trays would fill up over time and overflow days later. BTW, sunroof drains are favourite but just about anywhere can let water in and then run along headliner and exit at a convenient place !

If it works, take the first one back. Did you try swapping the sensors on the car in case it a wiring fault ?

Had similar problem with my SWB Series 2. On investigation I was surprised to find that one cylinder on each side had seized. I replaced with Delphi cylinders and renewed all the springs with Britpart items. Cleaned the backplate and resembled with coper grease on all moving surfaces. But not...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but did you find the missing/broken spring ? If not anyone know how much a set of selectro hubs worth with a broken spring ?

The receiver is the little black box under the rear headliner, near the rearmost interior light. Damp is an issue here. Dunno if they all same, but my sensors where above LH B pillar and RHR near grab handle.

Lovely ! :eek: One trick that worked with the under headliner receiver was popping open the box and storing the printed circuit in dried rice overnight.

Don't want to make daft suggestion but have you tried cleaning sensors. Had issue with mine, tried closing vents, changing battery, then cleaned the sensors, checked connections and all was good. Well with the alarm !

Yes, diesel engine oil did have a detergent in, not sure if it still does. I am of the belief that sometimes a flush can cause more isues, so leave alone unless you prepared ... Also, the TD5 had two oil filters, centrifugal up top then the standard lower down.

A fitter I once worked with used old Engine oil and Diesel on the company Transits, with good results. I was going to use this on my Series 2 but remembered the mess ! My first treatment was Waxoyl mixed 30% cheap engine oil and 20% White spirit. I drilled holes using a step drill between the...

So don't leave me hangin' What was the problem ? :D

Yep, we all been there. Years ago I borrowed my Dad's VW 411. It wouldn't start so after trying the obvious called the RAC. He tried most of what I had, then tried a tow start, nothing. He looked at the battery, under the passenger seat, and enquired of a random wire hanging loose ? Nothing says...

Could be going into access mode if door is open, but more likely leaky spring. Inflate fully and spray with soapy water, bubble = leaks.

Not that difficult to replace if you into DiY. Decent jack and stands and a few hand tools is all you need. Couple of hours will have you right. Think I paid £100 the pair for Dunlops, they came with instructions.

I am probably as guilty as the next person but it would be nice if we knew the outcome of such problems for future reference.
