If you have a charger, put the battery on charge for 24 hours, you may find some of your problems then disappear. The P38 needs a lot of power. They do not like batteries going flat.

Don't mean to offend but if you don't know the difference between a brake pipe and a cable maybe best to get someone else to do the job of changing it, just saying.

I took one end off and both ball joints felt good. That's what i thought it sounded like to be honest. I've got a new one.. maybe i should swap it anyways.. but the one that's on is only months old

Right, never looked on there didn't know they did them. I first saw a mod on fullfatrr which was a bit complicated and still ment moving lever to sport for them to work then Zeebadee (think it was)on there mentioned kit that Damien Walker had...

I could see movement in the bush clamp on mine, you sure it's not the anti roll bar link arms ?

Did it on my TD 6, swopped them on to l322 TD v8 I have now. Where did you get them from out of interest?

Front one's are bonded to the bar need to be cut off then enery the bar after to get all the bits off.

I learnt the hard way to never say where she can hear you that she's been good lately.... 😂😂

i was doing rear wheel bearing on my disco3 and dissasmbled the hand brake (drum in disc) and went to reasemble it and a spring was missing .searched all around the shoes drum and any other places and the floor was clean concrete got the wife to...

If it went down one of the oil returns, chances are it's in the sump ? From that angle, my bet would be it bounced on chassis or drive shafts & is lodged or stuck to an oily bit below. If it hit the ground it could have bounced anywhere...

Not on the 3liter, think it came in with the 4.4 hope this helps.

It would mate, you could crack the smaller clip and allow it to breath into shape and then reclip it. 👍

It's not had the clips tightened at the right moment or position and is under vacuum. 👍

Are we talking manual seats or electric?

Blimey, is that little pick up rated to tow 3.5 tonnes plus?

Do all the other buttons work for the stereo and the horn? Looks like (looking at wiring diagrams) fuse 9 for 12v, ground, i-bus and a connection to the instrument cluster. May be the clockwork spring? No relays involved, just a load of...

I've got it as number 9 in my book (2008) which is brake light, exterior lights and few other things.

With the engine running you should get a green symbol like a Speedo on the right next to the air bag warning to indicate it's on, as for a relay I don't know but it is possible as the diesel P38 I had had a relay for it, guess you have checked...

Just used something similar, time will tell if it works.

It is only necessary to disconnect the earth terminal.

Measure the voltages on the output pins with a DVM.

Sounds like yet another one with a dodgy ignition switch.

Or use a solar panel and charge controller to keep the battery topped up as I do with all my vehicles.

As mentioned no battery set up on the 2005 car but 40 days without use will kill it stone dead. You mite get away with 3 weeks even then special programmes will be off until it reached full charge. Disconnect the battery next time and lock it...

Maybe key code?

No battery management on 2005 and that year is not set up for AGM batteries best stick to lead acid.

Mine would also be dead after 40 days without a charge.

You underestimate my ability to burn things..

Now fair enough you might set the car on fire with a plumber torch soldering tiny wires but you can get electric soldering irons now which would be a little safer or even small gas powered ones lol.

I put up pictures in a post maybe 12 years ago. Swapped motors over from an MGF lock of the same vintage as mine.
