Upto speed lad🫣. Before the relay is pulled 😂

Nevermind, just got of the phone with Auto Sparks, the RHD harness is overall shorter. So I just ordered the last LHD drive one they had. My credit card hates me, the credit card company loves me.

What can I say , they are addictive to drive. Just to rub salt in the wounds , I have no lights on the dashboard. ( And no I haven't removed the bulbs)

Don't forget it checks it's own height over the time it is locked. If your parked on anything other than level ground it'll always try to even itself out. 👍

If I cannot find out the details of the o-ring (if that is the correct solution) then I will probably have to use the sealant. As it is not leaking massively at the moment I can give it some time to see if someone has the answer. I will also...

Fair point kiddo. You'll have to let us know how you get on👍

LandyZone International Rescue

There should be someone who can help. There is a section on here called "international rescue". There may be a bod or two on there👍

Ok so. you could buy a multipack of O rings and hope you have the right 1 but if not then measure it and put it back in with some sealant to tide you over. Some gearbox/transefer box rebuilders on line show gasket sets which include O rings...

This info is a little confusing kiddo. If your dropping the revs on the motorway, how are you running at higher revs as well? One thing that will happen is an amount of extra strain on the rest of the transmission dealing with the extra pull...

That's the customer complaint confirmed then. Was it used for off-road? 🤔

Yes I have seen this and other diagrams and I have measured my suspension and every wheel arch is exactly 5 centimeters too high.

You can try it as a temporary fix but just check it every once in a while 👍

That makes a you a die hard land-rover nutter👌😎 I go practically everywhere in mine😉

No. If lpg isn't exactly right (hard to do on a modern log system on an old efi car) you can end up with very hot combustion temps. Brave that it's your only wheels. Been there done that

Does it make me more brave that it's a 4.0 that I daily drive to work and isn't on LPG ?

Thankfully, I have never had anything to do with the V8 but I have always understood that the immobiliser for the V8 ECU's was a rolling code not a fixed code like the diesel is. The code is transmitted from the BECM on a serial line (K Line?)...

this is at standard height 👍

Why not just remove it and go to your friendly garage/motor factors and get a new O ring? Or measure it and get 1 online. A bit of sealant probably wouldnt hurt, but then you are just doing similar to what you have just accused/complained about a...

I'd go for a dried cracked oring problem🤔 If they hadn't of replaced the oring it could have emptied itself and you'd be dealing with a dead transfer box reckon 😵

Why would it be the valve block? as it uses the same valves in any height. It could be a leaky bag(or 2) that has a minor split that closes when in extended but opens in normal. If you pull the relay under the passenger seat when you park it up...

Ah, no. They don’t look like they can be adjusted at all - at least, I’ve not seen anything that would suggest they can be. I ‘think’ they are heated though, but not tested that thought (or what makes me think that!!!)

Quote (it's my daily car and only car.) brave man most of us have a back up motor or two :vb-biggrin:

With all things considered I am tempted to see what my local specialist would charge to do the cam for me, while this will be expensive it's cheaper than a new engine or car. Being new to working on engines this isn't something I want to get...

The electric ones are adjusted like your front seats👍

Yeah, one thing nobody in their right mibds want's me to do DIY is anything electrical. If you want it to work, not set anything on fire or kill you that is!

Good job my MY 2000 P38 is approaching 25,000 miles. It finally feels like it is "loosening up" quite nicely. Most problems are due to the rubber elements breaking down and failing. I am perfectly happy with the performance and see no need for...

Blimey, is that little pick up rated to tow 3.5 tonnes plus?

Emptied the interior yesterday and today, isolated the transmission tunnel, got the rear carpets in, the transmission tunnel carpet as well. Reinstalled the drawers in the back. Plugged two holes, one in the driver foot well and one in the roof...
