    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    Well, the nav unit is bone dry, and there's no dampness anywhere around that area.. in fact, anywhere in the car. But I haven't taken the other units out / apart..

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    :LOL: That's a very kind offer, which I may well take you up on.. but I wonder if it's worth trying to re-flash the firmware first, as I've read elsewhere that has helped others with similar (although not entirely the same) situations?

    No, sadly I sold it to offset the cost of the mk4.

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    Well the radio still works, even with the nav constantly rebooting, and I can even control it with the steering wheel buttons, so I reckon you've still earned it ;) I'm back to thinking the mk4 nav unit is at fault here, and all the cocking about with cables and fuses made the radio throw a...

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    Damn, may have spoken too soon. I still had radio & nav this morning, but 5 mins into my journey the screen flickered off, but the radio stayed on. Then 2 mins later, the radio went silent, despite the red led being on. At work, so haven't been back to the car since - will see how it plays tonight.

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    Ok, so I pulled it apart, could see nothing wrong, put it all back together ensuring all connectors were seated properly. It's now booted up and remained on for the last 10 mins, but I can't turn on the radio! I'll admit I didn't try to use the radio with Queeg either, but it doesn't seem to...

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    So, a new development.. I finally had a chance to look at this today and I've noticed that there's a small light flashing/flickering in the left-edge of the DVD slot, though the power light is off. Pulling the unit out completely and re-seating all the plugs made no difference, nor did pulling...

    Damn, ok - will do, thanks. Hope the "new" unit isn't already fried.

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    Thanks all. I have perspective view on, but not speed cameras or TMC. The trouble is I seem to be stuck with this classic interface and no nav, so I can't change any of these options anyway. I guess I'll pull the Mk4 unit out and see if my inexperienced eyes can spot anything awry. Just...

    Is This Queeg 500 (The Backup Computer)?

    I've had a Mk4 Sat Nav since July. Been really happy with it.. much faster, better interface. Brilliant. Went for a drive on Saturday, and 5 minutes into the journey the screen flickered and went off. In the past (with the Mk3 unit) it had done this before, and seemingly rebooted and...

    Suspension just went pop and collapsed!

    Thanks for the advice. Dunlops ordered from Island4x4 late yesterday, should be arriving tomorrow. I've fitted Arnott's all round to a P38 before so will hopefully be a similar job, difficulty-wise.

    I'll be sure to fill them with good-quality air then ;)

    Suspension just went pop and collapsed!

    I take it Dunlops are ok? I'm not going to suffer with poor ride quality not going with a non-Land Rover genuine part (who are quoting £400+vat per part, with an apparent list price of £600 - so they suggest I'm getting a good deal).. !! ??

    Suspension just went pop and collapsed!

    Good thanks buddy - still have you in my phone as "Ellis Wheels" :lol: Funnily enough only just sold the P38 yesterday, having had it in the garage for a year as an as-yet-not-started project. Got to a point where I hadn't touched it in so long it didn't make sense to keep it. Bought the...
