Had mine replaced by Egdon Motors - indy Landy specialist near Worcester. Gave me an honest commentary on the DMF, but i chose not to go for it, as i had no symptoms of vibration, and the car probably won't last beyond another 2 years. Cost a little over £600. Biting point now very low but light...

Thanks all so far. Just to clarify, i had total unpredicted battery failure which didn't hold its charge after a run, so i replaced it. Just wondering how many of the scare stories about underlying problems are genuine. The 2/3 v 1/3 figure is very helpful.

Hi All I had a total battery failure on Sunday - everything fine, then total inability to power dashboard lights or starter (could hear the relay and the solenoid clicking). No alternator light before or since. Have now replaced it, but there are a number of threads on batteries citing...

But not possible without significant infrastructure and expertise

Hi all Just a quick straw poll really. Getting quotes for replacement of my TD4 clutch, as the noise from the failing release bearing has gone to a new level! Which of the following would you get quotes from (or trust) to do the best VFM job? A. LR main dealer B. LR specialist C. Clutch...

Doesn't have a "limp mode" as such, does it? Just poor performance. Sounds like Pele should be advertising it!!

Thanks Nodge. Better have a look into getting a quote or two then ....

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Thanks again

Hi All Next in the saga is the development of a whirring noise when depressing the clutch. No noise when stationary in neutral, clutch up, throughout rev range. No noise when driving, whatever gear. Noise appears exclusive to the clutch pedal being depressed, even partially. I'm assuming it's...

Yes, i did - off an ebay store. There are a couple of different styles, one which looks identical to the original equipment (black sliders, etc), and the other has bright metal sliders, with slightly different bolt configurations. I went for the former, and it was a straight swap. As I said, my...

OK, quick update. Motor, regulator, cable, slider assembly came quicker than the ebay listing suggested it would, stripped the old one off and put the new one on in about 45 minutes (taking into account paranoia about breaking the glass by installing the sliders askew!). Recalibrated just to be...

I think that is what i must have done - but i'm fairly sure (from prior attempts to recalibrate) that it must be the motor switch thing that Andy mentioned. Have bought the whole assembly for not a great deal more than the regulator alone. I'll keep you posted (probably at the weekend) as to how...

Thanks for taking the trouble to post these pics, Andy. Your glass holders look even rustier than mine! Mine looks largely like this, but i think i may have loused up the cable kit by introducing some kind of twist while winding it onto the drum, so it is now getting tangled when i move the...

OK, so i taken it to bits again, and it looks like there is a twist in the cable inner, which is getting knotted up as the drum turns, so it is seizing up. I've rewound it, and got it to the stage where i can shut the door, and the window goes up (but still sounds like something is catching), so...

That would be massively helpful Andy, as i can then give it another go before resorting to the whole assembly. Is it advisable to place the window holders in a particular position on the sliders before trying to attach the cables? From the pics on ebay, it's not 100% clear how the motor...
