Just a quick follow up. Finally got the tank level down to 1/4 tank (yes, it's not used much) and it's still running properly so looks like there was an issue with the fuel pump not siphoning fuel from one side of the tank. Time to start fixing...

I certainly won't be buying tyres that damage the wiring :)

you can't ban them yet we haven't taken the p1ss enough yet

Ooh a tyre advert shall I look at it 🤔............................................... nah

I tried it leaving it in reverse and,putting handbrake . Oh boy did it complain that time. Thank god for a good handbrake. I was a couple of metres from hill edge 🙈😮

Try it with the foot brake on and see how much it complains :)

Is the handbrake on the wheel? As the car changes height there's bound to be a little rotation on the axis where the axle would be.

i always assumed it was bushes complaining

Nope. Brakes and discs done a while before creaking started. I'll try just park and see if it makes a difference 😁👍

Improved my fuel economy by fixing a leaking feed pipe to the HP fuel pump, 2 hours removing the intake manifold tightening a jubilee clip and putting it back together. Would have been quicker if I'd had cake. My drive will appreciate it as well...

Did it start after you had the brakes done? My handbrake was crap but the local indi fitted new discs and pads and got it working properly. What about if you just stick it in park without the handbrake until it's settled?

If you are around Manchester area i have a spare LCM that you can try. It's for a later car but it will prove if your LCM is faulty or not. Everything works but it flashes the brake lights every 6 seconds or so.

Does sound like an LCM fault. I guess you'll need to see what fault codes show up tomorrow and go from there. Be careful if you buy another LCM as they store a backup of the mileage and I've heard your dash will change to what ever is on the LCM...

Mine creaks if I adjust the height with the handbrake on and in park. Much smoother in neutral and no handbrake. As long as you're not on a hill :)

Hmmm, brake fluid level or level sensor. Broken brake pad wire if fitted🤔 Does the hand brake warning go off when you release the handbrake?

It could be the handbrake. A lot of cars do it. As the sus drops the angle of the arm changes at the rear and can force the handbrake a little. Your on cable and not electric aren't you @gold rover? 🤔

What are they doing? are there any light faults showing on the dash? Are there any fault codes in the LCM? If you unplug the LCM for a few minutes and reconnect it is everything ok again for another 5 mins?

Fink if you is doin very back winders yer needs an eggspensive type one that don't interfere wiv aerials init. I is got em an I finks they is cool init :cool: My tunes maker sound crap and no AM cos I fink last dude fitted crap stuff init.

Surely it's normal to have oil pressure warning until the engine is started.

Welcome. Better off saying hello in the intro section https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/introduce-yourself.20/

Have you checked the tappets

sounds like the exhaust is blowing. And tappety as above.

New MF31-1000 battery ordered for delivery tomorrow hopefully even though the old one is still showing 12.7v from last night.

Can't turn your back on em for a moment :rolleyes:

Took her for a nice day out and left her sat in the sun overlooking the hills around Burnley while I went to a garden party and she must have overheard me when someone said what's broke this week and I said nothing she's all good cos she rewarded...

Why does my auto carrot keep replacing right words with wrong ones?

Fuel pump done Handbrake shoes done Fog lights swap done Siren just needed coding back in Hoovered out Cleaned seats and dash (bloody biege) Coolant leak tomorrow as no manifold gaskets arrived in time.

dont forget the tea and cake :vb-biggrin: :vb-tup:

In your dreams :)

Hel probably get the lcm sorted, for now, atleast he has learned how to derail a thread with cake 👍
