Grrrrrr's latest activity

Like a P38A but everything is a little higher.

Yep Turns out the new hose was not reinforced, so it expanded then contracted every time. This caused a small hole to get bigger and bigger until it ended in a slit about 21/2 inches long and hence the wheezy noise

Always nice when a fix goes to plan. That happened to me, once! It was about 10 years ago, the windscreen washer stopped working.. i topped up the fluid and it started working again!! 🥳

No power going up hills and slopes and a whooshing noise coming from turbo. Outlet hose had split. New hose fitted and full boost now back. :vb-bouncy2: 👍 👍

Back out in the back of beyond, and as promised

Not sure. He has his own Range Rover forum which is more technical with no banter.

No, he's lived there before. I think his father might still be there.

Well done on mot grrrrr mine failed today bloody emissions

I suspect those tank O rings may have never been changed since new. When I replaced the pipework a few weeks ago, I probably disturbed them and that's when they started leaking...

He had a lot going on in life last we spoke. Not good stuff either. Not exactly the type to flounce is he but we all need a break from time to time. I have tried to contact him few times previously with no response Or he’s still mad at Broke...

MoT passed although a couple of advisories. Track rod is apparently a tad loose. It isn't that old and it was Lemforder. Disappointing.

There is one of those newish MG SUV type things around here and the owner has bought all the individual letters to spell out M O R R I S G A R A G E S across the bonnet. That's a lot of letters, goes almost edge to edge across it.

U - cut the top off O P - cut leg off R I - cut arms off E All the other letters are there

Quite tempted to change the L322 to say RAGE ROVER. Would be apt as f*** around Oxford with all the pedestrians/scooters/bikes that just go straight in front of you like it's your responsibility to look out for their safety.

UnderPigeon is too hard to space out

"sigh". Buyers remorse, sellers remorse.. Really did miss this old beast, coincidentally new owner couldn't get on with the old beast, something about 12mpg........ :confused: Negotiated a deal and picked her back up. absolutely filthy...

The filler was similar to silicon when dry, rubbery and prone to peeling rather than feathering out like body filler, pita but got it satisfactory eventually. First coat of black dye.

If you want a professional job I'd recommend Royal Steering Wheels in Aylesbury. Had a Saab 9-5 steering wheel done by them and was amazing finish. Bit of a trek but could post as an option. Or I pass by that way often and could LRFerry for you.

So its finally flagged a fault this morning, 3-4th gear change, town speed slow pickup and while it changes if you remove or add throttle the gearchange is successful, exactly the same symptoms and actions as it did 60k miles ago when i first got...

Found a pic of what I was thinking of. Different seal on other side of the axle. .. Maybe just use a bead of something, Don’t remember any oil being able to seep through the cap on mine?

I'd give all the pipes around the engine and heater a good check over, mine have been replaced over the last two years due to age. Far cheaper than a cracked cylinder head👌

When my turbo s--- itself i was in Kazacstan and it started howling like you would not believe and every one moved to oneside believing it was either an ambulance or police car it also left a trail of oily smoke that caused its own ecosystem and...

He went to NZ in 2020 and hasn't been seen since. He's marty_nz on RR.net.

Just leaks slower when not pumping?

Tank leak will usually be NRV-1. With the system off, air leaking through NRV-1 will pass through the dryer, and lift the diaphragm, hence inflating the balloon (path of least resistance). Some of this air can also escape via the dryer seals &...

@Marty_uk has been known to fix them but I don't think he's in the UK at the moment. @Rick-the-Pick is the gold standard.

There's a yellow seal on that one. Couldn't see one on its own from eBay. I might have to contact someone like Charles and see if I can buy a few.

Make it think you need to take it off.
