What did you do with your Range Rover today

[Datatek]

Are you talking about the conductive paint?

That is conductive paint, not a lot of good if there is a crack in the PCB as the flexing will quickly crack the paint.
I solder a thin copper wire to the track either side of the break.

That will be the plan, small bit of wire across the crack and hopefully Dopey will have a spare switch pack

Well known failure point. Swapped mine to metal as soon as I got it. Datatek reckons the plastic has better flow but I have had no issues with the metal one.

Thanks to you and @Datatek - same advice which I will certainly be taking.

 

[Dopey]

Well its not the switch pack, put the new one in and all of it works apart from the O/S/F window again, so its something else

 

[Dopey]

It ****es me off sometimes, you look for a reasonable priced part order it, wait..... get it clean it swap things over, nagging from the wife "when your going to do this, its been on the kitchen table for a week" then the agro of taking the old bit out, putting the new part in...... and where's the butler?? he's having 2 weeks off again!!

Wires where they flex between the A post and the door.

 

[Dopey]

Well I got this other part now, I will check it then (I can always re sell that part with the switch pack) thanks m8

 

[Dopey]

Is this it the grey wires?

That's not a P38, I thought you were talking about a P38?

Yea I know thought it might be the same place or wiring?

No chance.

 

[Dopey]

No chance.

Never going to be that simple is it? a vid of me wanting to do it!!!!

You shoudn't park the motor on the kitchen table. Some women have no sence of humour.

I don't suppose anyone is around the Wiltshire area and has some kit we can borrow? We need to jack up both the P38s and find some axel stands that will hold them and nowhere around here has any! Will pay in beer tokens, fuel and Bix will probably kiss you.

P38 is about 2/1/2 tons with a full tank. Axle stand on each corner only takes a quarter of that. 2 ton stands more than enough. Halfords do some nice 3 ton ones.
