Well MOT done and passed and as I drove it out the test station yard the bloomin ABS light and warning came on and wont go off so I will order up a spare sensor from the Bay and tackle it at my leusire now. The warning noise gets lost in the noise of the electric windows needing reset.. lol...

I did not have a special tool for this and seeing the state of the adjusting nut and unit at the bottom of the hub there was no way it was going to move, so I have taken my chances, as the car is my second car which over the past year I only did about 3000 miles any way. As for the ABS sensor I...

Yes it is now a fail. Have a look at the manual on the VOSA website because from April there is going to be even more strigent things coming into the test. For the steering dust covers 2.2.1.C and suspension dust covers is 2.4.2 of the manual which is in PDF available here MOT testing manuals...

Well guys I bit the bullet and changed the ball joints today, as for nearly a 15 year old motor it only needing a few rubbers and tyre and set of wiper blades is not to bad. Any way they were a right pig to get out but with a little heat and and leaving the new ones in the freezer all day...

Thanks for the info guys, I will have a full read of the info tonight and tackle again on Sunday once all the WD 40 has soaked through over tomorrow. In answer to Wammers comment, yeh it use to be an advisory until the turn of the year when the MOT standards were changed by V.O.S.A. now if the...

Hi folks, I have just had my Range Rover P38 fail its MOT on the rubber dust covers on the lower ball joint. Now having bought the lower and thoght best to change the upper as well since it will be in bits have got as far as the disc being ready to come off, but can not get it to move, so I...

I don't have any polystyrene bits in my boot. Well it was rear wheel that blew out, but had no issues as it was on the flat anyway. Thanks for the help guys cheers

Makes sense now when I think about it. Never actually used them as such when I had the blow out a couple of weeks ago. Lol I will stick them back in the boot now wrapped to stop them rattling.

Does anyone know what these are for in the picture?

During the bad weather I have had the lock out and defrosted it due to -15 weather. I just wanted to be sure it was that little motor that was the lock unit controled by the ECU. Thanks for the tip there about the back doors motor being the same I will drop it off when I get a chance and see...

Thats what I was suspecting, the motor part is on the bottom of the lock itself if I recall rightly. I will hunt for a another motor now. Cheers

Hey folks, I have a question some one might know about why my drivers door locks with the key and locks all the rest as well, but when locking with the key fob it only locks all the other doors and leaves the drivers door open. Anybody know if this will be caused by the motor in the drivers...

My P38 is left every 3 weeks for a couple of weeks and I have never had any issues, with it starting "touch wood"

To late me being a ex diesel fuel injection specialist in my long and distance past I just had to have a fiddle. So now got it running good idle until up at full temp then the idle slows. All though it now running with good power and pulling when hot cold or anything when on gas so it has...

I have had the car 6 months now and never changed any filters, it was supposed to have been tuned about 4 months before I bought it. Does the bolt on the end keep the lid on them where you would slacken and pull out a filter? There is a funny shaped unit just infront of the vapriser when I...
