What did you do with your Range Rover today

[DanClarke]

I took her to Beccles & back (200 miles) to get her a replacement Front Bumper.
East Coast Range Rovers it was. Nice bloke.

Sad day the range rover has been sold and gone to a new home





















so no more blasting round in my sons sport 4.2 supercharged i have to go back to my trusty dozzel p38

 

[Scotiawhiskers]

Put him on trickle again after charging the bikes and wife's Ka.
Moved the dehumidifier from the Ka to Otto too, while we try to deal with the cabin leak on the Ka. So Otto should get a bit more use. Especially if the bike bits arrive tomorrow as due.

8 new sparks plugs fitted and tyres rotated from front to back.

Minus 6C here today, micro tractor refused to start, bloody Varta batteries don't work in the cold even when fully charged, so hitched my trailer to a trusty P38 and off to a neighbours farm for a bale of straw. The bales these days are enormous, bigger then the trailer bed and they weigh a ton

. No sweat for a P38 though.

A really useful engine

Changed my 22k NTC for a 33k one. HEVAC takes slightly longer to start the fans, but also discovered the LPG evaporator seems to be stealing a lot of heat from the heater. LPG not commissioned yet, so might consider bypassing that until the warmer weather.

Also discovered distribution flap issue. At least that servo is accessible through the instrument panel hole. Will get in there tomorrow & see if it's stuck flaps or failed motor or gears. Feedback is permanently at 80% so not short or open circuit. At least I have a couple of spares in the garage.

Replaced front ARC pipes, after cleaning, etch priming and a coat of Dinitrol 4941

Went better than usual / expected, the 'while I've got time, what could possibly go wrong?' replacement of the N/S engine mount (degraded due to turbo oil drain seal leak softening the rubber) took just as long due to some nugget somehow belting the exposed threads so that the nut bound up....
Worth the extra time to lose the resonance at certain engine revs

So Wednesday it started making a noise,

 

[stuu]

As terminal as it sounded the center bearing had failed, holder was still good managed to have a bearing laying about off a bmw with same race inner and outer size, been out and done 40miles in it all seems perfect avain,

 

[stuu]

But I managed to get my pal to drive it while i was trying to fault find,
The first time iv heard it from the outside wow

Update today. Took distribution motor out and it's working perfectly. Distro flap is really stiff so dash will need to come out at some point. For now I have left the motor dangling, and manually put the flap in best compromise for screen heat & a small bit in the car. At least that way there's no cold air on feet !!

Eight in a V had a mod for a stiff distribution flap involving a self tapping screw.

 

[Scotiawhiskers]

Took him out for a 20 mile trip for garden centre lunch. Faultless, except the rear dribble and wipe.
Sorted that when we got home.
Now covered again with the trickle and dehumidifier working.
Also got the Ka into the garage for leak rectification work, and need to refix the heatshield on the 125s exhaust for MOT this week.
Honda parts didn't fix the misfire, so it is either wiring, black box, or valve issue...
Now seriously looking at doing the Triumph top end instead as easier than the Honda and likely to be the cause of the issues.

Yes I know that one. Tried it on my other P38, but the flaps have rubber edges and it was the shaft that was sticking. Next job is to get the Green P38 MOT done & back on the road. Then I can take my time and do the dash out, Audi heater, flaps, etc, etc, etc.

You should hear my mate's Jag F-pace SVR! Or MrGorsky's 4.6 on tickover since it has been rebuilt with the new cam. I tried to film it but you miss the pressure hitting your chest.
