    Softdash seat ECU removal conundrum

    The ecu is only clipped on but there are some pretty chunky connectors that often don't want to come undone. I've had mine out a few times and even with good access it can be a struggle. I think you'll struggle with the seat in place. I'd go with Kev's answer if you can. I've had 2 rebuilt and...

    Classic rear window seals

    The issue isn't the selling site but the manufacturers. The first set weren't actually made even though they were advertised.

    Classic rear window seals

    I need a new pair of these. I had a pair ordered and paid for from ebay last year but that fell through. I've found a co called atkinson bespoke engineering in Birmingham who are selling pairs at £320 which is quite alot but as they are NLA from LR such is life. Has anyone used them or does...

    4.2 v8 rebuild - recommendations?

    My old lse is only 700 miles from 200k miles and I've promised it a rebuild. I'm fairly sure the cam is round but it still plugs along. I'm casting around for recommendations for the work, ideally in central england. I've come across the big boys, rpi, v8developments , je, turners etc but as I'm...

    Clarion radio - P38

    Clarion are just outside Swindon but you can't actually go there, you have to post things. They did have a number of the p38 clarion models but none of the classic versions, which look identical but aren't. Mine was water damaged and couldn't be fixed. They are on ebay and sorted me out in then end.

    Classic soft dash gear selector film

    Thanks, that's more or less it except I think that's the hard dash version which is slightly different. I'm tempted to try and make one.

    Classic soft dash gear selector film

    I need to replace the film that has the letters on - D,N,R etc as one side is a melted from the bulb below. Is the part used on any other model? The dash is disco based and a lot of the parts are interchangable but the gear selector isn't it seems.

    Classic LSE breakdown. What happened here then?

    The first time yes but the second there was no persuading it!

    Classic LSE breakdown. What happened here then?

    Makes sense but I can't see why it wouldn't restart on petrol?

    Classic LSE breakdown. What happened here then?

    The LSE left me stranded on the way to work. It cut out and wouldn't restart. The only symptoms recently have been a heater that wasn't very warm unless going at 50mph+. Today the heater was stone cold. Running on gas it cut out at a set of lights. Reluctantly it restarted on petrol and ran...

    2 aerial sockets on the clarion stereo?

    That is what has been suggested although I assumed it was just the name of the stereo system as that is diversity too. Apparently one is fm and one am/fm. We shall see. Thanks

    2 aerial sockets on the clarion stereo?

    8 track old bean, we're not that antiquated.

    2 aerial sockets on the clarion stereo?

    I don't think they are. I have a separate multi pin plug for the CD and the amp is separate too. I believe they simply have 2 separate aerials, one on each rear window. Something about a better reception as you move around.

    2 aerial sockets on the clarion stereo?

    Can anyone tell me why there are 2 sockets on the back? Both appear to be aerial sockets, one red one black. Its the same on the soft dash classics.

    air suspension..

    I've taken the box down that contains the compressor, valve block and air drier to find one of the pipes into the drier has come off. Makes sense so far, that would be the sound I heard. They seem to be a push fit so I checked and refitted it. No sign of why it came off though. However the car...

    air suspension..

    I'm hoping its something obvious. The compressor seemed much better than the old one. The more I think about it the system beyond the reservoir tank seems to hold air but the reservoir does not seem to be being replenished despite the compressor running. Hopefully it will become clear when I...

    air suspension..

    So I thought I had this sorted. New airbags and a refurbed compressor. All seemed to be working well until tonight. Heard a pop/bang pulling out of the car park but car drove fine and the suspension felt fine. When I stopped at home the usual hiss as I closed the door was a rather more obvious...

    How long have you owned it and how many miles have you driven?

    5 years for my 94 LSE but I've only done about 20k in that time. It shares daily duties with other things. Going strong and gradually getting fixed.

    Very nice, much smarter than mine. PS Give 2010 a poke to answer my email!

    classic radio

    Found the (rather obvious) problem. It turns out I have the wrong head set. Mine is a pu 9844a and the new one is a 9836a. They look the same, have the same buttons and LR logo but of the 3 sockets in the back only 2 have pins on the 36. So I assume the speakers are not connected, or rather the...
