Absolutely amazing work sir. Hat off to you on this effort. Long may you enjoy it.

I'm planning on a bit of a friction refresh, front discs have a little lip on them, pads are about 1/3 left everything and looks tired so I reckon it's time for new discs, pads, parking brake shoes and a fluid change as well as a bit of a caliber refurb while I'm about it so that when I finally...

Fix it. If you like the car, get a subframe and do it or get it done. I'm a firm believer in better the devil you know. Look seriously at the cost of this repair against the cost of changing the car, what will you get for yours? What faults will you buy and have to fix on another, up to 3...

In a bid to reduce my road tax and congestion charging bills, I've cleverly disguised the car as part of the Japanese Imperial Navy. Does anyone know how you get the diplomatic plates? eBay? Doesn't need to have the D dropped, I'm not that important. Also, I enjoyed a tasty treat...

Looks like it, people tend to disappear once their problem is 'resolved'. In this case it was either fixed or "fixed" as suggested in the first post :-)

Get yourself a set of fibre loops and start unplugging the units and bypassing them. If it starts working, that one is/was your weak link. Unless it's the amplifier I think, fairly sure nothing works without that but someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong. That would be my first...

I was a bit cross at lunch when I saw an old Vauxhall Corsa in the electric parking bay at my local Sainsbury's at lunch time. I assumed it was there because it's right by the shop door and all the parent and disabled bays were occupied with trades vans. Looking at the point you're making...

You state that it stays around 45ºC, how do you know that? If you're guessing that's an odd statement to make. But, I rather suspect that you're getting that data from a couple of potential sources: 1 - Diagnostic from the ECU in which case, the sensor is working just fine. 2 - Infrared or...

I had a lot of "fun" trying to get o rings for my Mustang injectors. Went to a specialist who told me that the measurements that are critical are the diameter and the cross section (how thick the rubber is). So you want to measure your Outer diameter and the thickness, that will give you the...

This is an excellent thread. Hats off to the OP for the work he's putting in. I've never had a P38 but I really do like them, we saw a stunning one yesterday at Littlestone, the condition of it was fantastic, so much so that my son asked "why does that Range Rover look so different to...

I had my L322 stuck in the air like this too. Question is, "what the Bl***** hell caused it?" From memory, I could deflate it with GapIID but not with the buttons and I had a lot of issues with the connector plug on the compressor itself where it kept disconnecting in spite of it going on...

I'm a bit closer and I'm always happy to get so close to the Pyrenees but even so, it's a bit far for a favour.

I've just been shown an advert on Facebook for JLR workshop manuals and although I have previously subscribed to Topix and got them all for our cars, I thought that at £5 with the discount code I'd just have a look and see what they were like. Honestly, for £5 just buy it! Fully indexed and...

Yup, after my day of off-roading a couple of weeks back the box was full of mud but the connector seal had done its job and everything was spotless inside. I'm convinced this is the CV joint as I've never ha a single issue with this until I replaced it, Common denominator and all that, I've...

That's some saga and sadly too true too often with eh quality of parts these days. I had a BMW 525TDS many many years ago that had an in tank pump failure in the middle of a junction directly outside a BMW showroom, could never decide which was funnier, the salesman trying to direct potential...

That's what I thought, on, off, on, off.... Again, this doesn't seem to make sense as it sometimes doesn't work, if it wasn't getting a signal it would never work. it's not caused when cornering for example, it's happened 4 times, twice in a straight line and twice on long bends. I can't work...

The back story to my question here is that I had a CV joint failure and although the replacement was nice and simple I've been getting sporadic ABS faults since. Specifically, this one: C0031-25 (E8) Front left wheel speed sensor - General signal failure - signal shape/waveform failure ( on...

"Give them a ring", Ha! Good one. You can't talk to anybody on the phone any longer and certainly not for this. It's not the tunnel, it's the ULEZ zone. The toll booths at Dartford were removed probably 10+ years ago to ease the congestion. Yeah, it didn't work! Update to my woes is...

If the compressor is running, it could be a hole in the air tank but the bit that interests me here is the signal fault on a couple of components. I had a similar (but not the same) issue and found that on some cars, the spare wheel can damage the wiring loom going into the compressor, that...
