What did you do with your Range Rover today

If it comes away from the screen can you put a small piece of glass over it and use a squirty bottle to test it.

I got bored while let out at lunch time so took it my frustrations on the rain sensor.
Took it off.. cleaned the sensor, cleaned the screen wet the gel pad.. put it all back together.
It worked all the way home!

Oh yeah, birra heat sorted the top one which then allowed me access with the press the get the bottom out. New part chilling in the freezer.


Bottom, which had the split boot is knackered…job validated.

Don't forget new drive shaft seal while it's accessible.

I have it ready to go in once everything is back together and aligned.

Anyone know which fuse covers the headlamp washer pump? I stupidly replaced the pump without checking the fuse first.. though the pump is likely dead anyways

Found it.. and the relay. Fuse ok, both have power.. unlikely to be a broken wire if the fuse is ok? Must be the relay? Doesn't look burnt

Checked the diag again.. mentions the coil circuit and pump open circuit as the same code, maybe i can test the relay

Relay tested, that's fine

Don’t forget you have to windy wash a few times with lights on for the headlights to get a squirt.

Don't forget the headlamps have to be on and the pump only operates around every 5 pulls of the stick.

Oops, double post. That's what happens when you don't read everyfink

Put the switch pack back after cleaning the switch contacts and cleaning the sticky black stuff off the surface of the plastic.

And.. the low warning can't be on I'd just put a bit in to test going out now so will try again

It only bloomin' works!! I'll be getting thru even more screen wash now

But the rain sensor has stopped working. Again.
That says to me the sensor is fine the problem is the screen thickness of the gel pad thickness. Probably the screen thickness as the pad gets s swished by the sensor clamps

Another piece of unreliable unnecessary tech.

Yep. It falls back to intermittent, but it seems rubbish, the wipe times are hopeless

Gave mine a good polish, couple of areas needed a wet sand with 3000 grit wet and dry.
Need to do roof tomorrow.
Also de chromed the front headlamp washers and fog surrounds, original body colour were underneath and just needed a clean and polish.
