Trying to get a S3 with the old 2.25 diesel running that has been sat for years, the lift pump valves were stuck so freed them off and got it to prime through the filter and down to the injector pump, it will bleed through the pump bleed screw but nothing out of the bleed screw on the cover...

Thanks guys, that makes sense about the stitching will look into it again.

My fault entirely my steering wheel is minging, years of using it as a work vehicle means on a hot day my hands stick to the wheel and the leather has split in the most annoying of places, tried cleaning it but its fooked, looked at covers on the bay and the stitch on ones are not going to work...

What sad news, his advice and knowledge on our cars was always gratefully received, sometimes you don't know someone personally but you do know them well as fellow Landy owners, RIP Wammmers.

Your right it did fit except the manifold end loose flange had the bolt hole centers way out so in the end I welded in a flex joint from my local car spares shop and used the old flange also welded on the hanger bracket from my old pipe as well, think it will last me and the car out, the...

Changing the front down pipe today, I had a new one stashed away and when unwrapped it does not have the flex before the cat or the mounting hanger rod, a label says manual trans, I wonder what can the difference be between the manual and auto trans have on the pipe moving, is the mounting...

Sprayed the passenger door rubber with silicone spray and that is much better, took the tailgate button out, didnt look to bad but cleaned it all up and sprayed the connector pins with electrical cleaner, short run of 12 miles today and all seemed ok with passenger door button self operating...

Thanks guys, understood I think I got sidetracked by the RF filter my battery is good and does not drain over a couple of weeks. Tailgate button is first on the check list as you say its fairly quick and easy to suss out. As its parked outside all the time maybe the water has got in as we have...

Thanks for the help guys, key fob batterys fitted solved the door locking problem, i also had to use the hack i read about on here of the coat hanger wire to free the heater fan, the low battery light still comes on but the car has been starting everyday so when he gets the green light to drive...

Thanks guys, just been reading Martys test sheet and his web site info sounds like he is a genius on this stuff, will print off the test sheets and have a look next week, I am thick when it comes to the electrics! So far not sure whether its the drivers door lock unit that makes the passenger...

My P38 has had a problem with the front passenger door getting harder to open, the handle pulls out but you have to give it a good old pull to open it and its been getting worse over time, just lately the key fobs have been playing up a bit but changing batterys has one working well but on a...

Thanks for all the replies, I see he has RAC cover and they do battery quotes including fitting so might just get a quote in New Year, I will phone the main dealer he bought if from but they are W*****s so don't expect any help from them. I used the owner manual link as above gave me nightmares...

My brother in law has been very ill and his disco sport has a problem with low battery warning, its about 3 1/2 to 4 years old he has had it from new, his son drove it for a while to try and charge it but it seems to be getting worse with heater and door locking now playing up so I reckon its...

Thanks Mark spot on.

I have the pipe and the olive joint for the manifold end but cannot get new nuts for the manifold end as they might well be a hassle to get off I want to get spare nuts first, anyone know the size or part number, thanks in advance.

Changed the front left brake hose that had partly rubbed through, this side had all the new parts but had shown as the issue, the sensor was tough to get out and had been rubbing on the reluctor ring, checked to ring it was ok. removed the copper coloured sleeve and could see the rust in the...

Definitely engine running flat out fit to fly to bits, I will have to try and see exactly what transmissions and diffs are fitted in it.

Thanks guys, good points to check, I am sure the engine is flat out as its screaming like hell but will check the throttle linkage, not using it on the road again until the front brakes are fixed as it would be iffy in an emergency.

On the road but the front brakes don't have the bite they should, rears lock up easily. New cyls and shoes on the front maybe the hoses are weak so they are next on the list. Road speed is slow even with overdrive engaged 50mph seems flat out, tyres are road type but would that make all that...
