They'll be pushing against the valve springs. I put mine in with the valve bridge unbolted and then bolted the bridge down (using the sequence in RAVE). As you tighten the bolts down, the valves will open on those valves that are being acted...

Sounds like it needs the engine immobilizer code from the ecu writing to the becm. if they dont match it will turn over but not start.

My EKA was stuck to a bit of Dymo tape underneath the brake pedal rubber. Worth a look!

What you didn't try wading across 😁 😁

Oooh, have a look through the hand book if you've got one. Somebody may have written it down🤔 If not, God knows how to get it.. Another box will know better than me. 👍

Sit down, now look into my eyes🤨.... Now get out!! 😜

Wednesday night coming over the bridge👍

Dot 4 all day 👍

Yes dot4 for the brakes, that's what will be in there now. Have you checked your brake pads recently? They are probably worn and some might need replacing

On mine, I unbolted the compressor from the engine. Lowered it down as the pipes are flexible. I did struggle to get the clutch pack off and caused a little damege as the bearing has a circlip on the end of its bushing... Mine doesn't anymore🤣 I...

+1 ^^^^^^ If the scratches are close to the dowel, I wouldn't worry about them.

Any news?

You need to measure at the battery rather than using diagnostics.

Sounds like a waste of time testing it, I suspect the brushes are worn out and in any case the regulator it's incorrect for modern batteries. It's easy enough to swap the regulator, comes with new brushes, can be done with the alternator in...

Do you have a good link to where I can get one from please

new regulator ordered .Many thanks for all the help

When I stop lending my DVM to youngest son 😁 😁

Well had to drop he wife off earlier and she was only going to be 30mins so instead of waiting I decided to put one of those voltage readers that go into cig lighter socket and go for a run. Ignition on but engine not running 12.6v cranking...

Very low, should be between 14.4 & 14.8 volts just after starting folding back eventually to 13.8 volts. Needs a new regulator & brush assembly a the very least, assuming your plug in DVM actually works, I have one that always shows 12.8 volts...

How will you stop it rusting if it doesn't leak any oil?

As the guys said cheaper option is to but a s type or xf and transplant, strip to block, heads, rocker covers, you can hear it running first Yes not to bad at all to remove complete with gearbox I basically only remove transfer box and...

We did our regular 35km each way shopping run today and were amazed to see over a dozen swasticars. Very unusual normally never see more than one. Wasted my time washing the cars, they are covered in Sahara dust this morning :(

JFC. Might be worth a post on LZ courier service. If someone like @Mark Piercy was heading over the Channel he might get away with saying it is his spare in the boot if anyone asks.

Ha Cheers Keith I still have a Disco 2, well most of it.. I'm still in shock ;) Nope.. Her replacement. :) Never thought i'd part with the P38 but it cost a fortune to run mainly insurance which was even at 24 £170 per month plus £40 tax...

Accuracy of the system is not important, screwing the punter is. There are hundreds of complaints like yours, good luck getting it sorted.

Yes I did that last time, will do this time too. The pins/clips came out easily. A crow bar and a push down on top managed to work the spring out. Made 2013 29th week, not perished. Good to keep as emergency spare. Now to the other side.

Normally replace the clips, coat them on a little grease as it'll aid replacement and keep corrosion down👍

If you can before you buy it, hear it running from cold👍

No, there's nothing the risk to make you feel alive😜 Or pain🤔
