Yes this sounds like a good idea. My wife would never accept the kids riding in a low-back seat, even though they think it is great in a L/R.

Good advice! I will try it.

No doubt another no-brainer, but here goes. My steering groans when used at low engine rpm. People tell me that the steering box needs replaced (££££££), but I suspect the system needs bled. Looking at the manual Ch.57 p.10 it advises bleeding via a bleed screw, but where is the bleed screw? The...

Just the job! Many thanks.

Hi, does anyone know is it possible to buy replacements for the second row seats in a 2006 Defender? I mean something with headrests (for safety) and preferably better profiled?

Do you have the heater blowers and do they work?

Sorry guys, busy for a day or two. Thanks for your tips. Yes 1999 car. I will try to wash it again then crawl under every time I drive it to try to see where the oil appears first. There is just so much space in there to see things!

Another shot in the dark. My 20-year old P38 has a significant oil leak at the front of the diesel engine, which over time spreads oil over everything below and behind it. It looks as if the oil is coming from high up on the front of the engine, maybe the front cover or the head joint. Before I...

Yes that's it, I am careful in case I break something. I had the notion that they are plastic, but I see that in fact there are metal. The fact that the manual says that they should be replaced also made me wary, but I guess they were just playing super safe.

Very good - many thanks! Being the careful sort I will try the cycling option to reduce the pressure as much as possible before pulling the tubes. But I am still curious about where new collets can be bought, if necessary. Do Land rover sell them for a newer model (than a P38) or are they an...

Very good - thank you for all the answers! What about the collets? In case of breakage, can these be bought as separately? Are these a standard air-fitting used elsewhere than in Land Rovers? Are they used in later model Land Rovers?

OK, thanks, I will try this. By the way, what voltage does the control system operate on? Is the signal to the valves a simple applied voltage or a digital signal?

Hello. I am starting work on a 1999 P38 and would benefit from some experienced advice. There are several problems of course which interact. The air suspension works reasonably well, but I need to fix leaks at the valve box to prevent the car sitting down overnight. The manual says that the air...
