    Water leak into passenger footwell + weird brake pedal

    Hi all, thanks for your help with my earlier VCU issues. All sorted thankfully. Latest questions relate to water leaking into the pasenger footwell. Its not rain but think it might be to do with the heater. I haven't been running the a/c but it appears worse when the temp is on cold. Any...

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    Thanks for all the contributions and am pleased to report that i have the Range Rover back. Band new VCU fitted for the bargain price of £40 cash from my local Agricultural and LR specialist. No more scrubbing and managed to get away without breaking anything else either. He had a good...

    Correct tailgate lettering supplier

    My new to me RRC had had both tailgates replaced which is great but the Vogue SE lettering is too high which is doesn't look right. I can't find anything but chrome letters for L322 online. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I think the old ones will peel off but i don't think...

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    I'm sure you're right, at least hopefully it will see me right for a few years if i only do 2000 to 3000 a year! I am desperate to drive it as i've only really done the journey home for fear of doing more damage. Hoping it will be fixed early next week. Then for the welding, but at least i...

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    Cheers, there are a couple of VC's on Ebay, one wth Venom 4x4. At under £100 its 250 less than a new one. Worth the risk? Do these items have a shelf life? It would appear as though a viscous coupling would be easier to change than the whole transfer box?

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    Yep, i do, although I was very tight on space having decided not to trust my 30 year old rusty axle stands so was doing it without the car jacked up at all. If I can't get it in the garage this week, i'll get some decent stands and have another go with the spanners.

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    Ok, so i have confirmed the viscous coupling is knackered...at least I know. Halfords special socket set is too fat to sit on the propshaft bolts so will have to leave it on and wait until it can be done at the garage. Had a really good look around today. It's in very good condition...

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    Thanks - had you done any other damage? Nervous my new motor may need a lot more than some plating and welding!

    New Classic VCU fail suspected, remove prop?

    Hello, Picked up a 91 Vogue SE today, bought off Ebay. Nice car, 105k miles. New tailgates, tidy body. Needs drivers floor patching, and attention to boot floor but sills appear good and chassis is tip top. Did the 100 mile journey home without a hitch, until i got off the motorway and...

    Which Classic - LSE or standard?

    As expected, different opinions! I think the lack of rot will determine the decision. Cheers though guys, will keep you posted!

    Which Classic - LSE or standard?

    Thanks for all the replies, comments and advice. It seems the LSE would appear to be the better bet, assuming that on a fuller inspection all is decent. The owner had a new viscous coupling fairly recently which cost him a bucket load of cash and a few electrical niggles, all now sorted...

    Which Classic - LSE or standard?

    Thanks for the response. I probably need to compare them back to back, at least as much as i can. You're probably right about the rot setting in in the Grey and if it was only minor, the current owner would probably mend it I'll reconsider the LSE!

    Which Classic - LSE or standard?

    Hi all, Been without a Land Rover product for some time and decided I need a Classic. I have a couple of options from work colleages that would like some advice on please? One is an LSE with 105,000 and lots of history. Still on air, no LPG and in tidy condition but only a few months...

    P38 DSE - looks unused - thinking of buying

    Thanks for the replies. I'll research the Blend motor isssue a little more, although early diagnosis appears possible from a dash display? Is the suspension compressor and airbag a suitable DIY job. I'm OK-ish with the spanners and have a big garage to keep it in. any idea as to cost of...

    P38 DSE - looks unused - thinking of buying

    Hi all, newbie here! In a bid to establish some slight credibility, I have owned a number of Land Rovers from Series 1's through to 90's. I've also had a couple of 300Tdi Discovery's and an 89 RR Classic. Disco's were road cars abut all others were off road toys. My post here is about an R...
