    P38A Tailgate wouldnt open.

    Couldn't get me shopping out, frozen stuff in there too! All doors opened fine then I remembered 'something' about slapping the lower tailgate around the numberplate area and it worked yay! Dinner was saved! What needs looking at before it potentially fails big time? Never done it before.

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    I've got a syringe with a bit of tube over the end and the needle fitted in the other end of that tube. Great for sucking diesel out of the injector Wells.

    Roof light bar

    Have you got a welder? Would be easy to knock up some tabs and weld on.

    Brake caliper rebuild questions

    I've always reused them with no issues. Britpart seal retainers are rubbish so I only use genuine there.

    P38A Reverse lamp, electrickery knowledgeable peeps, what do you think?

    First time reversing down the dark drive 6.30am this morning and...wow..bloody brilliant, so much better and safer. Bulb out warning is still gone too. This is with the two original rev lights with led bulbs still fitted.

    1991 200TDI Fuel Filter Replacement Priming Necessary?

    I do the same but when the engine has ran a while first. Then it's not idling cold after the filter change.

    P38 heater o-rings: draining tips?

    I used genuine ones from LR, £9 the pair, pricey but I wasn't risking it. Wiped out the ports with toilet paper and wire wooled the pipe ends rotational. Bit of spit for lube.

    Axles and Wheels - Which Type?

    Didn't the width of the hockey sticks change at a certain year? Also swivel bearings went from Bush to bearing, both front axle related.

    P38 heater o-rings: draining tips?

    You can buy a nissens matrix that has the 19mm outlets for a better job but more expensive. I got one with the 19mm because I thought my seals had gone again but it was just a loose bolt. Mines still on the shelf in the workshop. In two minds as to sell it or not but I can get the part number...

    P38A Soundproofing bonnet with asbestos?

    When I was young around 1981 I worked in a factory that made under bonnet insulation panels for cars and lorries. All of them were made using damp resin fibreglass and cloth and hot pressed to mould them. I suspect they are all made from those materials.

    P38A Reverse lamp, electrickery knowledgeable peeps, what do you think?

    In fairness , possibly it will reappear as I didn't go for a run last night as the wife got a lift home from a work mate. So I only switched ign on, selected reverse, took a pic, ign off, didn't start the engine at all. Possibly that had something to do with it as I only recall seeing the...
