Hmm, when you turn the ignition on can you hear the fuel pump operating priming the fuel system?

My penny-worth: Years Ago I owned a Rover P5B. The sump gasket needed replacing. When the sump was off it got a good clean. In it was a grey almost clay-like goo at the bottom and in that were numerous aluminium pieces = shavings. I wasn't hugely...

In the plastic inlet manifold on the left hand side [as you look at the motor] there is a jiggle valve - a small diameter pipe leaves the manifold by the engine oil dipstick and connects to the coolant tank. The plastic manifold can warp... or be...

I hope you've seen this gem!

Ha - think our wives can relate to this as when the loo paper runs out in the bog - they go crook about that - don't they. Formula from the universe to explain life's mysteries: The missing sock formula:

That’s one of the laws of the Universe: Crap expands at an inversely proportional rate to the space made available for its retention.

Crap spreads to fill the space available !! I need more space now 🫣

Lol - aint that the truth!

… and I tidied up my ‘go to’ basic car tool corner in the garage 🤩 I give it 3 months till I can’t find anything again

No, not yet. But I'll give that a go. Thank you.

Ha - it was new in 2015. But has always had poor reception.

Thanks for that - Yes I do have a wired in Dash cam. However, the radio reception was crap before I fitted that :(

Hello peeps, \Advice needed from I.C.E gurus My radio reception is poor. I've a Sony head unit [CD, USB input, AUX input, Blue tooth connectivity]. It's the radio which annoys me. It quickly loses reception - crackles.... no buzzing that...

Spend a couple of hours under the FL1. Initially I was wanting to add an extra aluminium washer to the first gear switch on the g'box to see if I could get rid of the amber HDC warning lamp. But I could find the right washer anywhere :( So I...

A knocking of clonking? Possible noise from the front end = Anti roll bar [ARB] bushes cheap & easy to fix. OR Drop links are worn out [they connect the ARB to the strut]. Again a pretty easy fix and not expensive either. Rear end Noise: could...

OK - that's an interesting idea. I'll have a look.

If you replaced both gearbox switches and the reverse needed washers to work correctly, maybe the 1st gear needs that also and is upsetting HDC if showing on all the time ??

I've been tinkering with this problem for a while now but feel defeated. I must have missed something obvious. Late last year I replaced the clutch in my'98 K series FL1. All seemed to go well and the clutch works beautifully now. However, I...

So after 11 years of owning my FL1 I finally got around to getting the rear window washer working. I made it more of a mission than what it needed to be! I thought the pump motor was stuffed - no. Took both pumps out and then the washer bottle...

Mine's the opposite, always buys the parts for me in advance.... bucket, sponge etc.
