Am I wrong then? The key fob battery is needed for the immobiliser too? I've never known a car that has that, I thought it was proximity reading the chip in the key that has no power source. I've never had a P38 but this is a terrifying...

Yip, I think I've accidentally connected the wrong cable into the Ariel feed.

Will have to digest that properly a bit later, thanks a lot , the diag I was recommended by my mate was the Kingbolen EDiag Elite, seems incredible for the price, can’t wait to give it a try.

Six monthly or 100 miles, whichever comes first :p

And I bet you have been with them for a few years, no loyalty these days 😟

Is that a yearly service item ??

The P38. Because they couldn't charge a card they cancelled the policy and decline to write a "NEW" policy. If I had seen their e-mail and/or they had called the number they have on file for me all would have been resolved. It's their way of...

Hi everyone, Just put my centre console back together, connected up the sat nav and it's not picking up my location? I have 1 cable spare and I've got absolutely no idea 1 what it connects into and 2 if this is for the sat nav?

Just central locking as far as I know

Which diag have you ordered? For your suspension you're going to need to see that it is building pressure and that you're getting increased readings. I would imagine that you have a split air spring on the front and that the compressor is weak...

The doors are 34" so the bulkhead to tub measure should be 34.5"to allow for shut gap.

Well I never. :eek: LV insurance couldn't take the payment for this years insurance automatically (card on file was replaced) and now they say they cannot insure me at all because the car is "too old" and they do not want to insure it. Now, they...

Low key fob battery has pinged up now. Are the batteries just needed for remote CDL? Won't effect starting or owt.? Might be a couple of days until I can get new ones .

Yes, mine dim. Ordered a standard bulb kit ta.

All I did was 2nd gear, ignition on, tow it and foot off the pedal when you're ready.

Haha that would be fantastic! Well I’ve ordered a new Diag which comes Monday then I’ll start tackling these bits and bobs in the hopes to get it back on the road :) … I’m glad it’s not that bad regarding suspension haha… let’s see 🤞🤞

Had a similar thing on my brother's RRS. Changed the EPB and fitted new brakes, on the near side it's fine because the shoes are one way up but on the offside when they are the other way up the cable just falls off the shoe every single time you...

Welcome lad!

Many thanks for the wonderful welcome! Being an old git I am trying to find my way around this forum to post my questions. My camera is also rubbish but cr is gloss black vogue vse with black piped cream seats and black wood except where it has...

LEDs are often directional, the cheap kits are usually garbage. Please, PLEASE don't change it to blue, it'll look sh*te! I'd stick with the proper bulbs, they go black over time anyway and with a fresh set of bulbs you'll probably be...

This is a great thread to follow along with. People often underestimate rust and just how involved the repairs are. You've been lucky here Gary to find such a helpful lunatic to take this on!

Afternoon all, I’m hoping someone can tell me where the pictured vacuum line goes on my M62, please. I’ve just reinstalled everything after doing the timing chains and can’t find its home! The line is in the top left of the picture, behind the...

Back on the TD5 Defender, this time with a nanocom and I'm still struggling to get it to fire. It's had a recon gearbox before I got to it. when I put the Nanocom on it was showing zero RPM while cranking. I discovered the CPS was not plugged...

Replacing the motor didn't fix it, can't clear the pot fault so I unsoldered the pot off the blend motor kermie gave me and swopped that out with the newish pot fitted last year? Cant check them as my dvm has died,and that seems to have fixed it...

I thought you replaced that a year or two ago? Fallen to bits already?

There were 3 kids from the old gals marriage, so all assets go 3 ways (per stirpes). Wifey, bother-in-law and as her sister died some years ago her share goes to her 2 kids. So we would need to buy the other 2 branches of the family out (2/3 of...

Suspension will be the easy bit. Don't know why but I really like resolving suspension issues on these things...? Probably because so many people are so terrified of it and in reality, it's just not that bad at all. I wish I had the time to...

I have a disco 2 automatic dec2003 It is going into limp mode with m and s lights flashing, cleaned the xyz switch no improvement then found transmission fluid low, so topped up still no difference. We had to travel back from holiday 550 miles...

Got some mud on mine to
