I do my best ;) Good luck today.

Maybe I'll give mine a bit more attention then. Uses same disk and navigation electronics as far as I can tell (doesn't have off-road option though), but is a bit of a pain with an IR remote for programming instead of the factory knob. Out of interest, does factory nav do postcodes outside...

Still trying to work out which bits of plastic you're bending. Can't wait for photos! Surely the "Holy Grail" to find an easy way to go double-DIN. Have pondered many an option and wondered whether the photos of HEVAC being moved "upstairs" are for real. With bated breath....

Oops :5bredface: - apart from the Satnav - getting old and forgetful!

OK, many thanks. Looks like I might just try it when I have the luxury of not needing to actually go anywhere! I'll wait for the LED on the Nav DVD unit to stop first though.

Interesting. As it drove off the other day with me outside, it sounded very much like tyres. I have the same Nexen tyres as I believe you have (from another thread). Not very aggressive so I didn't expect noise from them, but of course with a bit of front/back wind-up... Transfer box is...

No factory sat nav on this one (rather expensive, and by modern standards rubbish, aftermarket VDO equivalent was installed quite nicely into the official LR dash surround though). Doesn't have the standard kit on the right side of the boot, but instead an enlarged DVD drive (hung into the...

As in viscous coupling in Transfer box? I haven't checked it. Should have been done by Ashcroft when transfer box rebuilt, but if it'll make that noise perhaps I should.

So, Transfer box replaced with one rebuilt by Ashcroft. Noticeable improvement but still some whining, which is audible inside and outside. Found a receipt for gearbox fluid and filter change at 65k miles, and as noted above, I did that again at present mileage of 120k - what came out of...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I wondered how the disconnect went. My P38 (4.6 Thor) gets left in my office underground car park for a few weeks at a time during the warmer months. No power is available for a trickle charge or light for a solar charge. It has the remote antenna...

Yes, Had already concluded a rebuild might be on the cards. 6 big ball races by the looks of things. Just want to keep it running till the weather is better and I can take it apart at leisure - doesn't sound too nasty yet and isn't getting noticeably worse. Haven't looked at this job in...

Dex III as per Rave. Looked runny enough to be Dex III coming out - but certainly not Red! Different to my Old Series with a good dose of EP90 for everything.

Just to follow up. Transfer Box was a good call. Level was a little low but not by much (100ml maybe). Drained and re-filled whilst there and what came out was black! Not quite sure what would do that (just a chain, a few gears and the VC as far as I'm aware), but can't be good. Will...

Had a play with that setting a few weeks back using a Nanocom Evolution on my UK, 2001 car. Choice of No DRL, Sidelights, or dipped headlights. UK market was no DRL by default I believe. Sidelight setting will not stick (suspect it is because mine is set as a UK car and I believe...

Well-thumbed workshop manual or EAS reset tool?

Thanks. Had a feeling that might be the case. Will have to brave the nasty stuff or find a dry warm spot.

Just trying to get a feel for what's normal given there are a lot of transmission boxes and having migrated from a Series IIA with overdrive (no sir, never whines!). Not loud but I can hear the transmission clearly, sounds like Gearbox/Transfer box area (Auto 4.6). Varies with road speed not...

Tricky! Maybe I'll try something subtle too and see how it goes. Still trying to gauge just how hated Rangie drivers really are (outside this forum of course...). In my corner of the world where blinged up L322 and RRSports rule, the usual reaction is one of sympathy and a downward...

Having gravitated (upgraded?) from a Ser IIA to a P38 last Autumn, I miss the wave. Got very excited when a red Defender unexpectedly waved yesterday. Only managed a nod, I was so shocked - hope he saw! No obvious toys on my P38 just a nice well-maintained example (being hooned about in the...

Kent for me. probably the same supplier. No feedback left by me yet either. Probably won't bother. Depends what response I get having told him I've bought some others - that actually fit! yes, still £10+VAT. Arrived quickly & fitted perfectly. Just in time for some proper cold stuff...
