You're right and I'm wrong. It does have a second bulb for the main beam (referred to in RAVE as the inboard main beam) can't find out 100% which it is though.

We're both right, the normal headlight has a dipped and main beam, plus the additional "inner" main beam.
 
Finally got round to fixing the off side front window mechanism. The rivets were a b:£@?d to get off and then the replacement mech had lugs that didn't fit the plastic shims. Had to whittle away a couple of mm with the dremmel to get them flush and then take it to my long suffering b-in-law for the 3rd hand to get everything back in place. Overall I'm pretty pleased with myself cos me and tools are a bit like oil and water !

Yes this is what I thought, had the same problem on a rover metro I once owned, that was situated under the bonnet in full view, any idea were they are on the range ?

On your RRC it can be removed through the air intake vent above the bonnet and below the windscreen (man I sounded British there). It's fiddly and it's hard to get the wires to cooperate in the reconnection. Give a search here and on Google. There are some pretty good "how to" vids and articles on this common problem.

Thanks for the advice West Slope, I'll take a look.

I have the feeling that speed control is electronic and part of the fan assembly, could be the drink talking though.

I have had a look through the posts on here... and there seams to be mixed opinions.
One : As described by west slope, resistor under deck panel.
Two : As you suggest, resistor is attached to the blower casing. (on 92 models) ?

This may be the case for mine, It's registered in 92 but is 93 spec. Some times parts I enquire about only appear when 93 build year is specified. It has factory fitted 200 tdi and air con.
So I will have to take a look behind the vents as suggested.

Set about dismantling my original eas pump to see if I could replace seals. The reason bing that yesterday my RR decided to give me the dreaded EAS Fault Max speed 35mph - the first I've had in 50,000 miles (I knew I spoke too soon last week after reaching 135,000 "with no major problems". Suspecting the current pump I took that off as well: What a load of junk!! The piston had come off the drive shaft - no grub screw to hold it too the shaft like original, in fact the whole counter balance was different - the whole inside was a mess! Only bought it Feb 2010 (from a place that rhymes with haddock and also a place to keep horses) and covered 35,000 miles - shall not be going there again.

Just had fault codes on eas reset at my local garage after renewing seals and piston liner on pump 3 days ago. Mind you will think about investing in my own reader - they charged me £48 for the privilege.
 
Back in Bristol after my new year trip around Scotland.
Bristol - Perth - Glasgow - Edinburgh - Glasgow - Bristol = 985 miles
Gale force wind and driving rain coming over the border (I slowed to 65) but . . .
no problems, no failures.

Who says that P38s can't be reliable. :D

yeah, invest in the free eas-suite:rolleyes:
 
I changed the coolant temperature sensor and heater resistor pack on my 91 V8 RRC. Need to figure out whether over fueling is fixed over next few days but it seemed to run sweeter from cold earlier. 3 speed fan again is a major bonus. Either steamed up or massive noise was getting a bit annoying!!

Oh and new pollen filters too!
 
Experienced a massive wheel wobble :eek: when I hit a bloody pot hole on the A47 !! **** myself.. thought the bloody thing was going to fall to bits !

If anyone travels along there, between Peterborough and Thorny (towards Thorny), watch out !

I will be fitting a new steering damper sooner than I thought !

Don't be surprised if that doesn't solve the problem. That's where I started when I experienced the "death wobble". Steering damper first, then ball joints, then removing shims from the swivel bearing pins and balancing the wheels. Finally fixed it.
