When I adjusted out play at center with front wheels hanging the center was the first to bind. Although I had just replaced upper and lower ball joints both sides and the new ones were alarmingly stiff (gone now mostly, that was a terribly combination!). The column does have a tiny bit of play...

The Vulcan comes to mind. It was a fully electronic fly-by-wire state-of-the-art flying machine, the same principle which all large planes use today. However despite enough money and plenty of enthusiastic hands-on bods they had no choice but to decommission it because the technology is so far...

Mine is '95 but that's good to know. An afternoon down the scrapyard for an appropriate hose might be worth the potential savings if I fit a later box. It's not leaking (yet) but the slack is unbearable even after tightening the adjuster.

A bit deer. Can you recommend a recon supplier?

M51 manual. chipped Do you have a fix?

If there isn't enough wire to join to then you'll need to remove the intake manifold and injector lines to get to the harness trunking which runs along the block under the glow plugs. Remove the cover to access the loom (or jumble of wires in mine). Given the current and the season I would...

How much fuel is it using? The trip computer may not be accurate, mine tells me it's getting 38mpg most of the time while I get 23

Tried touching up some scratches on Ruby this afternoon and f****d it up. So I got the paint restorer out and cleaned up someone's carpark bumper deposit.

So I decided to touch up the scratches on my Montpelier Red (claret) P38 today using some Land Rover branded touch up + lacquer bottles, paint code 536. The scratches/spots are down to the white Aluminium and unable to find any decent instructions on prepping specifically ali body scratches I...

Generally only dealers tools in my experience, and only then some. It's not an OBD or EOBD requirement so it's manufacturer specific. For a post 2005 LR have a look for Mongoose JLR interface which runs on JLR SDD and IDS software. IDS was from their time under Ford, SDD came along after. There...

Not sure how I would like the effect on on-road veg oil use if road tax was added to fuel duty. I hear we are headed for a big fine from the EU for missing the carbon reduction agreement. So they're passing the fine on to the road users who had nothing to do with the agreement. ****ers. I...

I might chuck a couple your way Marty. Have you figured out a way to switch between 35/50C in use? Just to be difficult!

The same has been done to mine, much to my disgrace and relief. The thing is, what will happen if you go wading? I haven't come up with a sure-fire way to seal it back up again.

Are the balance weights present and correct on the propshafts? I noticed one of mine has taken a knock. Not sure how much of an effect it would have.

The proper kit is a set of rods of certain lengths which sit up in the middle of the bump stops and the vehicle is lowered down on to them to give the required heights. Here's one by the looks of it: http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/suspension-calibration-blocks-range-rover-lrt60003-p-27763.html or...

Well they are worth the effort. If was the previous owners who screwed up my P38, all of them I recon! Still, it's something to do.. I'll keep watching. Good luck with it.

I have just read this thread from the beginning. It's good excersise to adapt my mind to the even greater turmoil of L322 owning, ready for the eventual upgrade. First of all, sorry to hear your troubles. Some things are a pig to solve but that vibration is taking the p!ss. I've had a thought...

Nah I'll leave it as it is. It'll be handy next time the head goes :D

Manufacturing is a small cost of vehicle production. They are being squeezed from every angle to develop technologies at the cost of billions per year. This is why most cars share platforms, often with rival companies cars and why Ford, BMW and Volvo have been using Peugeot engines in their cars...

What sort of paint are you using? Could it be unevenly mixed?
