this from a man in Cheshire!

wow - a 2 hr round trip to fill up. There's dedication!

4 mile commute? Buy a bicycle

is the battery in the right way round??

I dunno, I haven't seen many outright bullies here. TBH, there are sensitive areas, but if you read the forum, you'll get to know the unwritten rules and learn to avoid them.

not sure. I kind of like the sport, but isn't it more of a Disco underneath? And it's smaller inside than you'd think. However, the FFRR is just too big. Too ostentatious. One of the reasons I bought my P38.

d'you know, I bloody searched for that! Maybe it should be a sticky? Excellent, btw.

That would be my thinking too. Also, there is far more experience of the P38 in the enthusiast community. Problems are well known and are able to be diagnosed quickly. The newer vehicle is less well documented.

you're talking about the condenser now, right? :D

1. look at the owners experience here, work out if this is the place for you 2. buy LR 3. introduce yourself politely 4. when you eventually have a question, search, then ask it politely 5. expect a bit of banter :)

it used to be that the vehicles' insurance group was set when the car was new and never revised. Hence, a 1964 mini cooper S still has a relatively high insurance group despite struggling to beat many shopping trolleys to 60. Your old landy will have had its group set before 1961, when a landy...

welcome! I'm just down the road in Kingston

...and you've got to be a contortionist to get a bloody cup out of it. LR ergonomics...

yup, which is why I had it pressure tested before refilling ;)

they're not too expensive either.

fantastic, thanks! I should have known from the audi, but I thought LR might have done something creative with it. The car is still at the garage so I couldn't just wander out and have a look. The next step is to gas it with a red dye and look for leaks. If the condenser is at the front, it...

Evenin' all. So, after having the book symbol on the display since I bought it, Thunderbird 2 finally went into a local a/c place to check the system for leaks. And predictably failed to maintain pressure. The diagnosis is yet to be made, but it's either a leaky hose, or condensers. Or maybe...

you don't have cupholders? Under the armrest? Pretty useless IMHO. Too short

that's useful advice. Thanks Wammers :D

could just be crap on the piston - won't let the piston return. I had the same on my audi after a number of years.
