Basically you have a three speed fan operated by the right hand horizontal lever in conjunction with the right hand vertical lever giving air to the windscreen and side windows.(up position)and the footwells in the down position.The horizontal lever on the left side is used in conjunction with...

Wire brush the area or better still clean it with something like 40 grit paper ,getting rid of the surface rust. Treat the areas with rust killer. Jenolite (contains Phosphoric acid )or Ku Rust etc .Red Oxide primer /bonda primer is what I use and then a couple of top coats of paint.Do it...

Once again many thanks.

One other thought did occur to me and that is possible earth problems on drivers door .Have you also physically checked the linkage hasn't come adrift .Just a guess.

Charlesy When one carries out the modification so to speak what does one do with regard the electrical connection .I assume that if it's left in limbo (tied up)what happens regards any signal that is still being sent.Just so as I know what to do . Many thanks

Looking back when I owned a 92 Discovery ,it didn't have a factory fit alarm, and the drivers door activated the central locking either by the key or the internal push button.To the best of my knowledge the drivers door actuator is the master controlling all the others.When you lock the drivers...

When you turn the key in the drivers door does the central locking activate on all four doors?Locking and unlocking using only the key.If so that would be a normal operation.However for actuation to occur using a key fob is a different kettle of fish altogether.Could be that it has been lost ...

I would have thought it highly unlikely that all the door actuators /servos becoming u/s at the same time.Have you checked the fuse /relay ? Start from there and work on the process of elimination. I do believe that the drivers door is a master on some models. Have you also checked out the wiring?

Then it'll be the icing on the cake so to speak.

I think you'll find that we are talking about an ali door skin.(white powder -oxidation-being the clue)I take it that you've done a good job of preparation prior to paint application ,etch primer etc.I can only assume that you have used the right paint, ie as per manufacturers paint code . Is...

so if Hell is exothermic then you will not freeze:D

It would help it you were to be a bit more explicit ie. vehicle /panel.

Before you go a bashing have a look at the chassis directly behind where the bolt ,nut and washer are. I think you might find that the chassis is turned up at ninety degress . Not much and it's the possibility that the remainder of the bolt and nut could be lying up against it ,thus preventing...

With the gearbox and props in place I offered up the engine and used a couple of bolts to temporaraily hold the m together.Then as the engine and gearbox were supported on a hoist ,I was able to manouvre them into the correct position. The chassis was then suitably marked as to where the mounts...

In this months issue of Car Mechanics (November) there is a very interesting article on the Range RoverP38 written by the editor Peter Simpson.The front cover shows a picture of a V reg P38 with head line "Bargain Range Rovers" It's worth a read. Good Luck.

I currently own a RR Classic and can honestly say that bodywork corrosion is not a problem.It's just not there.(yet)

Many thanks for replying and the thread info. I have also read info on some other forums and generally speaking the overall opinon is as you have said.They may have all the bells and whistles ,but it's just more to go wrong.,and build quality left something to be desired.In the past I have...

:confused: I would be grateful for your comments re the following. Which would be the better vehicle to have reliability wise between a 300tdi Discovery and a 25DSE P38 RRover.? I have never owned a diesel vehicle ,and know absolutely nothing about them and am contemplating a change from the V8...

Does anyone know the year /reg no that factory fit coil suspension ceased on the 300tdi discovery. Many Thanks.

There used to be a firm called Milner Conversions,but i do beleive they are now trading under another name.(try 01629 734411 their old phone number) I seem to remember I used a 91/2 clutch and all necesssary bits etc came with it. Hope it helps somewhat.
