Got mine back on the road, ended up buying sort of by accident of a mate a 11reg merc E350cdi, new for me as iv never had 3l v6 diesel, saloon, or merc or rear wheel drive. Lovely car on motorway, very quiet and RWD was fun on damp corners but...

I'll give Ashcroft a call one of these days, they should know. Seems the compatibility of RRCs and Disco 1s, and between early 2-door RRCs, later RRCs and those post 1985, only goes so far. A pity the workshop manuals do not come with technical...

Only on one side? Might be worth twisting ever so slightly while engine is running and someone is ready to kill it.

Usually jumper links to split the battery into smaller & lower voltage sections. There will also be a main contactor to isolate the battery from the BMS when required. Many now have low voltage jumper somewhere to allow emergency services to...

I can't imagine there's no breaker to isolate the battery before you start any works on the rest

Steering buttons depend on what type & brand you go for. There are adapters for most of the mainstream suppliers like Pioneer, sony, Kenwood, etc. If you're going Android then every unit I've used has SWC Inputs, and you program the steering...

That's how I understand it yes...... but you'll still loose steering wheel volume controls etc. It's pretty clearly laid out in RAVE, plus it'll tell you what wires do what etc.

I have the subs and separate little amp and only fitted a jvc Bluetooth unit. No problems with the installation. My son had noises through his speakers that came from the white connectors in the left foot well👍

À good question, you may have to get in there and let us know your findings 🤔

but you could, lets say, drive into a school, or a street parade etc

My brother-in-law's fairly modern BMW blew an ECU about 18 months ago. 6 months and 1 x ECU and new key later the local garage gave up and sent it back to him with an ABS fault and a bill for £1400. Then another 6 months and 1 x ECU and 2 new...

One of the reasons I'll propably never get a RRC beyond the 1984 MY, a Disco 1 or a Defender past the early 80s is all the elcetrical stuff! I like those three fuses!

It's a different way of thinking sometimes but still difficult at best💪

Without proper training, no garage in their right minds will let one of their employees touch one of those.

A friend of mine used to have a back street garage specialising in Volvo's. It used to amuse me that the local Volvo dealership would send cars with problems they couldn't fix to him to repair.

I would say that the likelihood of self harm working on a 400 volt EV electrical system is somewhat greater than working on brakes.

Come on guys, some rules around old engine oil and other car fluid recycling are good. I don't want people to dump 6 liters of engine oil into the ground. The way around the EU rule to have easy access to ligh bulps, and yes that EU rule does...

I think it's just aimed at people changing a bulb on their driveway. You know.. bumper off, engine out etc to change a headlight bulb on a modern car 🙄

Plus closing down the small back street garage that usually does a better job in my opinion

Including but not limited to, main dealers, those technically best qualified to work on your car

It's been rebuilt. I put three grooves into to aid alignment. After rebuild.

Exactly with sub standard work

It sounds like jealousy to me.. how dare you do something yourself.. you should pay a garage 1000s like i do

You could say the same now though. I'm not qualified to any standard to work on/repair brake systems yet I've done it many, many times. It's not illegal but it could be very dangerous if the brakes failed completely on a car that weighs nearly 3t

I'm not allowed to work on them for one powerful reason🤣 We've got to be trained for 'em... 🤷

Glad i don't live down under!!! https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/this-australian-city-wants-to-charge-people-to-work-on-their-cars I wonder how long it will be before we catch on!? Mind you, i bet you won't be allowed to work on an ev in...

It’s the fuel return hose thats connected to the pressure regulator, therefore the fuel feed is a the rear of the offside fuel rail.

I wouldn't touch the top of that pump unless it has been off. Just the act if retightening can affect the idle. It is very sensitive. You'll need a volunteer in the car ready to kill the engine if you tap it too far and it starts revving its nuts...

Thank you all very much!!! I found a good video here. It starts at 3:50. It seems to be solvable. I'll let you know. Then I'll remove the microphone. I still have the phone on the side – this microphone was probably added later. But I don't...

Yes, I missed the last promotion (15%/20%). I'll order the Nanocom during the next promotion.
