Thanks for the link, paid my £5 and downloaded on three devices without any issues. It gives a good insight in to how advanced JLRs new vehicles are now.

There’s 4 variations of D1 tail lights in the life of the 300 series 1995 to1998. So based on 96/97 MY for UK & the rest of the world the part numbers are PRC6475 RH and PRC6476 LH As always to get the correct part the VIN No is required.

So are your tail lights different from the UK spec item, as there a few here new and used on the eBay sites and shipping to the states as most other places from the UK isn’t difficult, I’ve done it a few times sending stuff abroad of course there is a cost. If I had a lamp to weigh then a...

Rear fog lamps are the bottom segment of the body mounted units, tail lighting along with indicators are above, a standard as it left the factory. Rear bumper is just indicators and tail lights in both units, again as it left the factory. So what what is the reason for the fail?

I would be upset if water was getting into the gearbox and would quickly find out how, as that would mean oil would be leaking out ☹️

My 3.5 RR had a similar sound at 100K miles which was instantly diagnosed as a worn camshaft by the LR dealer which was replaced by them. Maybe it would be worthwhile if it is a cam issue to replace both, which I believe you engine has two.

Your D3 must be different ☹️ if set, the cruise control will disengage if the brake or clutch pedal is pressed.

I don’t know ☹️ but if thats that what LR call auxiliary drive belt tensioner securing nut, then its 45Nm.

8 The Thatcham security grade of the existing security system will tell you if the vehicle was fitted with an immobiliser system when it left the factory (Google Thatcham) And It will depend on the the immobiliser is active or passive, if passive the vehicle will be remobilised with the use of...

Don’t hold you breath for a reply, Tim hasn’t been seen on the forum for Jan 31 2023, its always worth checking with old threads to see if a person is still about.

Certainly a few clues of an HG failure being mentioned 🤔
