Too true, got a blend motor problem on my LHD one at the moment but no time to fix it.+1 on that Keith. . . . it will be HEVAC motors, compressor clutch, condensor failure, SRS connector problems, heated seat failure, tired water pump, rusting steel brake lines, overheating fusebox, leaking rear-view mirror, etc, etc.
I never had a problem they all helped me sort mine, and I had to learn from scratch.
All I said was 'I did this and another thing went away'. I wasn't quoting rubbish, I was explaining my recent experience with my P38. It's not my fault you don't like my experience or why you can't explain the link but, it was real and I'm only too pleased it has gone away. You should be aware that the whole point of performing FMEA analysis on a new car, prior to release, is to find unintended consequence when wires get accidentally crossed by damage or corrosion or by some other means and having spent 45 years in the electronics engineering industry, I would suggest that LR didn't do a thorough job with their FMEA analysis, which is why this model has such a bad reputation with the general public. It's true that a previous owner may have messed with the wiring but, more likely there's a latent fault in my P38 that caused the snap, crackle and pop noises. I'll never find the reason without an extensive audit and I don't have enough life in me to start that exercise. The purpose of my recent report was to help other members who may have had a similar problem. Clearly, this has never happened to you and I'm very happy for you but, you're not being forced to reply to my posts, so if you don't like them, don't comment. You can put away your pitch fork now.
That's not my experience and I disagree. The exact purpose of an FMEA audit is to find unintended connection and when properly performed, the FMEA does not care how that connection happened. Obviously, an FMEA is not perfect an relies upon imperfect humans to perform the FMEA but, if thoroughly performed, an FMEA will find every fault. Note: this is one reason why very few planes fall from the sky and why planes are very expensive to manufacture - compared to cars. Anyway, this has been an experience but, I've had enough. Bye.
Aircraft use quality connectors not the crap tin plate connectors used on P38's. Look at LZ over time and corroded connector's crop up time and again. JLR and their predecessors are only interested in the vehicle surviving for 3 to 5 years what happens after that is of no consequence. Some makers use gold plated contacts on critical connectors as it the case with my Toyota.
Economic fabrication I call it and in the aircraft zone and quoted by an engineer I spoke to in the aircraft or airliner game, they call it value fabrication.

Absolutely correct. There are loads of electrical noise sources in cars, hence why the HK Audio uses balanced audio connections & have each amplifier grounded. Most likely that car has corroded connectors in the footwells . . . where the balanced audio flows & it's randomly unbalanced !! As I said if the amps are still active with the head unit disconnected, then somebody has bodged it !!
You got some balls
you and Dopey.
That's a good move if you do a lot of swimmingYou got some balls
Do you remember way back the guy that moved the becm to overhead?
if you don’t have sunroofThat's a good move if you do a lot of swimming
unless p38s can do backstroke
