Mine doesn't have a dipstick. Stupid idea! Dipsticks don't break or wear out, like sensors do so it's a good job the oil level isn't important

Welcome. I believe a lot of cars these days don't have dipsticks just sensors. A friends Discovery Sport is like that

Belt, pullies and water pump if included the system. Peace of mind. I've got a mercs vianno here, a 3.0ltr diesel v6 at the garage with a destroyed belt wrapped up in the fan. An elastic belt to boot as well. All going to be changed as I've...

Finally got chance to check and the fan is barely spinning. Can stop it easily with newspaper I will get it sorted. Thanks everyone for your help. 👍🏼

I had that on my 52 plate a few years back. We were abroad, going from Holland to Belgium, car running fine, stopped on motorway services, car refused to re-start. It would crank quite happily but no start. Recovered to main dealer who ended up...

It's normal the replace the idler pullies with the belt on many cars.

Tensioner pulleys can let go, especially if someone in the past has been heavy-handed easing the tension off.

Pretty sure my Lemforder one is removable both ends.

Not bad for delivery Fedex just been in touch to say they are delivering tomorrow morning 👍

Sure he said the one on mine had both ends changeable . May be some one in the past had fitted a doctored track rod or the tester hadn't looked correctly. Any way proper one on order

You have to change the whole track rod as one joint is part of the rod and not removable.

Took the old old gal in for MOT this dinner time with a recommended garage near by in Sheffield. Passed with just a couple of advisories to do and a couple to keep an eye on. Track rod end rubbers starting to perish and will let in dirt New...

A long time ago, I had a test drive in a brand new Classic when I was looking for a replacement vehicle. Unfortunately, the gear lever came out in my hand so the journey back the the dealers was in second gear! I purchased an XJS instead.

I towed my caravan to the UK and visited my folks in Yorkshire, the P38 coped fine with Holme Firth.

The funny thing is, the L322 is basically a BMW... But then 30-odd year old BMW SUV are dirt cheap as well. Less capable off-road so.

My P38 gives me a darn sight less trouble than your L322.

Maybe the nephew will have it. Plenty of time yet 😉 landed should be in the family, is where I got the bug.

Pretty much the same as you. Pros. 1) For the price it is a hell of a lot of car, especially if you have a scrapper for parts and a backup car (our backup is now Honda Jazz!). 2) I can use it for work and it takes a ton of wood with no issues...

L322s are great value too at the moment it seems. Disco 2s are among the expedition / adventure crowd favorites, hence the price hikes. Personally, I am cautious about anything with electronics, simply because I cannot repair that. But then I...

160 quid a tonne here atm..

They get under your skin and you can't part with them. The times in the past I was getting rid BUT now what would I buy. On a limited budget its cheaper to run my P38 than buy another car for the money I would get for her.

I feel for you! I considered at many points to sell my p38 for the same reasons. Always some problem, at one point it felt like there was a new problem every week. But after dealing with the problems one by one, the car stopped having as many and...

Hi yall. Coming back here to conclude this thread. We fixed my EAS problem. The main problem was beep beep, "EAS fault" and car immediately either jumping to wade height or sometimes dropping to bumpstops. The fault would always come when the car...

So, time for quick summary: Harness installed, everything working except wiper / washer, horn and ignition. Reason, most likely, a mixed up wire at the starter motor, and now a broken contact at the starter. New starter should be here end of...

For the egr valve pull the vacuum hose off and plug the pipe with a bolt and you will not have any more problems with it as it will not work anymore and clog the engine with junk :vb-biggrin:

I was hoping my nephew would take it, although a bloke in the pub was asking after the third one last night. I can give it up anytime I like ...

When they work LOL

Became hard to hide... Even worse, it caught up with my bank account... Luckily, not a lot is missing: roof tent, tires, distributor, roof bars. And there, only the tires are really required. And the fuel lines and other hoses. I just hope...

Bit of a mystery this ... Driving yesterday and set off and suddenly there was an almighty racket. I thought the gearbox input shaft bearing was toast. Dumped the clutch and then tried to pull away again and it was fine. Did this a few more...

If it would help, I'll post a link to a suitable solar panel.
