It's not so much an off/on sort of issue, more of a grinding-gears-sound sort of issue. Just looked and it's got oblong lights :mad:, 2005 SC. How does the thing come apart?

Likewise ;)

Aha, OK, thanks Mark. So if I understand correctly I buy a crowbar and a ****ty P38 - then what?:p

My driver's side power fold wing mirror has developed a problem, seems to fold in OK (usually) but then has problems folding back out. I'm guessing some of the internal gears have stripped, but can't for the life of me find any info online how I can access these. Does the whole unit need to come...

Just done this and seems to have solved the noisy pump. Only needed about 1l to flush through. For those doing the same, it's the smaller bore pipe that is the return to the reservoir, so disconnect this one.

Thanks. Of the two pipes, one bigger than the other, which is the return?

I'm not sure if it's leaking, the level is low certainly - but by the colour of the fluid I doubt it has been looked at/touched in years. The belt looks OK. Re flushing the system. I'm reading conflicting advice on how best to do this - and not 100% sure if any of these ways apply to the...

Thanks Datatek. I'm going to flush out all the old stuff and put new in. Trying t find the correct fluid, seems the genuine LR stuff is 20 odd quid a litre, but Ravenol SSF is same spec and half the price, so might go for that - unless anyone tells me differently? Worth chucking in a bottle of...

Hi all. There's a godawful noise coming from the front of my engine, kinda whining/grating, worse when turning the wheel. I'm guessing it's the power steering pump. Am I right? I've checked the fluid and its about an inch and a half below minimum and a coffee colour. - do I just top up and hope...

Hi all, changed the oil on my 05 supercharged RR the other day and noticed some very rusty pipes coming from the oil filter mount. Should these be replaced? Is this a DIY job? I'll try and upload a picture... Thanks Tom

Hmmm, not for a while. Why?

Yes I do, electronic thing that squirts stuff in to the pressure side.

OK, quick update in case any one else experiences the same: no return of the smoke. I put the injector cleaner in but I doubt this would have made a difference, so, I reckon leaving the oil filler cap off and driving 20-odd miles must have sucked some oil somewhere where it shouldn't go... The...

OK, used the car yesterday to/from work, 25-ish miles total with the LPG switched off, so running on petrol only: no codes, no pending codes, nada. Could I confidently point to the LPG as the problem? - or does the car need to be run for longer?

Thanks both. I'll certainly take it easy until I'm sure it's sorted. I don't think I have live date on my reader, it's the iCarsoft one. I'll have look. TBH though we're rapidly heading towards the limit of my technical competence! Speaking of which, no, I didn't pull the plugs - I couldn't even...

OK, update: Started the car again on Sunday - only a few seconds of smoke, then cleared. Drove 30-odd miles, all fine. Started her again about 5 hours later - no smoke! Started again this morning and again just now - no smoke! Interestingly, the engine light has also gone off (but 171 and 174...

No not really. Just discussing, on a discussion forum! Many thanks for all the responses to this problem, it really is much appreciated.

Sure, but not lay down a smokescreen (other than my Series 3 that is...). Smoke from diesel contamination would persist whether at startup or 30 miles down the road surely? I remember my dad put diesel in our Austin Maestro in about 1988 in France, there was no discernible effect other than...

Pretty sure! Would it be possible to put diesel in it? The nozzle is larger on diesel pumps no? Also, the smoke clears after a bit whether on LPG or petrol, presumable if it was diesel it wouldn't.

OK, update: Put some injector cleaner in this morning. Started her up, as before it was like I was auditioning for the red arrows. As I drove through the village the houses on either side were completely obscured. Anyway, stopped about half a mile up the road with the engine running, took the...
