Given that both have similar M47 engines, does anyone know if the 320D injectors are the same as the FL1 TD4 ?

So last night while driving to Fleet, my Green P38 completely cut out a few times, although only for a second or two. All electrics dies, but came back, so I thought fusebox again ?? Luckily it recovered each time, so continued on & got it home without requiring recovery. Chekc all the...

Guys, The front of my P38 cubby is slightly warped. I suspect it was like it before the adhesive used by the previous owner failed. Yes it's genuine LR Autobiography laminate, but any ideas how best to flatten it before I re-glue it on ?

Yes I know bad title…… Anyway was sorting my spare heater box distribution stiffness today, and figured out it was just the top two that do the dash vents & screen. After removing only that gear the distribution gears moved freely again. Problem is even after taking the box apart & removing...

After installing new coolant pump & thermostat, onnected all the hoses & started putting water in for first flush. Found the 90deg tee section near the oil cooler under the starter motor had snapped the 8mm outlet. No idea how that happened as I didn't touch those hoses. Anyone know the part...

Found the cause of coolant leak on Wife's FL1 TD4. Wasn't the thermostat housing or water pump. There's two holes in a small core plug in what I think is the upper camchain cover ? Does this end cover come off (reasonable easily I hope), with the engine in the car ? Pete

So after changing the diaphragm valve last week on the Green P38, is now making a strange squeak after it dumps air out the EAS exhaust !! It's easy to hear becasue my EAS has had the silencer removed for years (mainly becasue it makes pedestrians jump), and I can hear how often the pump...

Anyone using the chinese heights sensors rather than the genuine or 2nd hand sensors ? Wondering what the success rate & lifetime are like ?

Having sorted my Green P38 heater distribution motor & gears recently, it's now having issues with the blend motors. Firstly, it's not the flaps - they both move freely. Left one is working fine when I power it with a 9V battery & measure the pot resistance. HEVAC sometings bitches, but...

So yesterday I went to Bedford to sort my AC compressor & get the system re-gassed. That all went well. On the way back down the M1, the EAS went into "random extended mode" again a few times (i.e. the non-selectable height above high-mode). Mostly this happend at low speed in traffic...

Been chasing down the cause of my drivetrain whine (and new rumble) today, so started with front propshaft. The UJ at the transfer box definitely needs replacing, so will do them all as it doiesn't cost much. There also seems to be slight play on the transfer front output bearing. (probably...

We changed both front wheel bearings & driveshafts including CV joints recently on Son's 2004 FL1. All seemed good, but it still has a knocking noise on sharp corners. The VCU seems ok and not siezed (or wasn't a month ago). Wondering if the knocking could be the IRD failing ? What's...

This is for those that might want RAVE sections available as PDF's on tablets or phones If you get the "Link Removed" zip-file from my google drive & exctract the files, you can then get individual PDF for each section. Then copy them elsewhere & rename as required. **** The link has been...

While my heater box is out of the car, I've been sorting to stiff distribution flaps. Forgot to take a photo of the original positions. The front flap that does the footwell vents can only go one way, but the face & screen flaps can easily be 90 or 180 degrees out, because the square bar fits...

My rebuilt GEMS ran fine & sprightly to MK & back yesterday, and to Sainsbury this afternoon. For some reason when starting the car to head home today, the idle went up to 2500rpm, and then 2800. No faults logged and all fuel & air values seemed to be ok. In gear it dropped to 1100, so...

Recently ordered some replacement thermal switches for the pumps I have on the bench. Looking through all my pumps, it seems some have 125degC and others have either 100deg or 120deg. Also got a message from the eBay seller I used that 120deg are cheaper from the supplier than 100deg for...

I have been using X8R for quite a few years for my own compressors, and several others. Wondering if the claims by 4x4 Air Seals for their "new design" piston ring are realistic ? Will probably order one of each and do some testing. 4x4AirSeals: X8R Kit:

RAVE only specifies "Final drive units - Texaco Multigear 75W 90R". Which to go for ?

Guys, My son has been offered an early 1997 2.5 for £1000 or thereabouts but it has just over 200,000 miles on the clock. It's on coils (:mad::mad::mad:), but we could sort that later. New battery fitted, but gearbox overheat message on dash. Rear bumper swelling has damaged the tailgate...
