Was generally scrolling as u do and saw this, thought what a gorgeous colour and interior, still with actual dials 🤣 , 8 x speed and the very nice tft display which I’ve seen on some models where u can have the sat nav display in full display...
It’s finally working!
Having checked all of my work on it so far and found nothing out of order, I refitted the intake and tried a bit of easy start. It ran for a moment but wouldn’t keep going after the starting fluid was used up, indicating an...
When I say spare wheel, I mean inside the car. As in take the spare wheel out and look underneath it. Or is the spare wheel accessed from underneath?
There's a thing from JLR called Topix which is a sort of online version of RAVE, the workshop...
Never played with one but I think it is under the spare wheel?
If it isn't there then it will probably be under the car behind the rear wheel on the left (near-side in the UK).
According to Royal Mail, the manual regulators should arrive early next week. Soon enough. And somehow I am done with electrics once the wire are in! 😁
Trailer socket is next to the tow hook. If you do not have a tow hook, behind the trim in the left side of the boot you will find a connector for the 7S trailer wiring, it has a fused live and and earth.
If you are really stuck for a copy of...
Don't know how the electric windows work on the classic but could just be a fused wire straight to the switch? Easy enough to make one to get the window working for the TÜV?
Well, the "What did you do today ..." thread is not the best place to track all the wiring stiry. So here an update and summary so far:
All cables are identified and the routing as well. The rear harness is in, the main harness passes...
Ended up shortening the driver's side latch bolt and lengthening the passenger side one, that seemed to get the bonnet opening fairly reliably.
I'll probably have to make some micro adjustments to find the sweet spot
Can't seem to open the link.
I thought this looked reasonable but apparently it only has blue backlighting.

Was talking to mate of mine yesterday who said why would I recommission my 4.2v8 over the much cheaper to run E class, I said look at the cost of repair on them and issues diesels can have over petrol, and in Land Rover world there is plenty of...
Britpart is where I got mine too. Was thinking they might be a bit long.
I tried to line the bolts up with the cleaner metal on the bracket to get it close to the original LR position, but it's definitely not exactly as it was.
I might put a...
RF interference (loads on here) or aftermarket stereo draining it - usually switched and permanent live mixed up. Or headlight wipers not parked properly.
Doesn't surprise me. I had a chat with the nice service rep from the JLR garage that services my wife's XE. For all major brands, VW, BMW, Peugeot, you name it, there will always be someone to be hired who knows those cars, maybe even the older...
