Quite possibly. I know bearing noise can manifest itself in a few ways, but there's been no previous warning like whining or droning noises. Spinning the wheels just reveals a tight spot which is one of the discs which has warped, (Another job for the week) No excessive end float detected.. In...

Now then fellow range Roverists. Having enjoyed a good couple of trouble free months ye olde Rangey has thrown a curved ball into the mix. There is a distinct, almost non metallic sounding noise coming from the front right wheel area. I appreciate that trying to diagnose a noise over the WWW is...

Removing the tints was a priority really. I had to drive up from Portsmouth with them and the only way to clearly see at junctions was to lower the windows. I found that using a generously petrol soaked rag on the residue, allow it to soak in for a couple of minutes and followed by a vigorous...

Rusty brackets. And to be honest I think I prefer the look as well as not getting crud on my trousers. Also got rid of the front window tints..... The upside is I no longer have a queue of crack heads waiting outside my front door. ;)

Changed the wheels over this morning. Gone are the 'pimp my ride' 20's and in their place a set of 18" rims from our old D3. Fortunately the Redbournes were a D3/L322 fitment so had the correct nuts and spigot rings. The D3 fill the arches quite well. I think I like the look. Definitely didn't...

I'm so looking forward to doing all these things..... Not all at once though. ;) Having reliable cars where nothing goes wrong is fine, but very boring. :)

Perfect Marty. Thanks. I shall have alook in the week. Certainly couldn't see any strays floating around anywhere but....... Opticians on Friday, if you get my drift :rolleyes:

OK. Found some new tubing the correct diameter and have put everything back as it ws. Only problem now is I can't for the life of me see where the vacuum tees off to? I thought looking on t'interweb that it might tee off to the brake system but can't find anything. Any clues please chaps? TIA...

Ah-ha... Excellent. That explains why that doesn't work. Thank you. :)

Finally picked up my new toy yesterday. 240 mile trip home revealed a few minor things to sort out and a couple of big uns! I'll start seperate threads for them as I progress. In the meantime I was having a poke around engine compartment this morning and found this bad boy. I'm guessing it's...

I'll not be beaten. :rolleyes:

Not a problem. We're all in this together. I did notice from your signature that you also appear to be a phenomenal masochist. I also until recently possessed a Grand Cherokee and still have a veritable fleet of motorised two wheeled conveyances. We're all masochists I tell 'ee.

Back again with another P38. After a brief spell with a very pretty but EAS problem plagued DSE I slunk off to the Disco 3 world! What a a mistake that was. Cost a fortune to MOT. So having had a serious rethink I've gone for the most sensible and cost effective alternative ............ A...

It was a '99 with low-ish mileage. 95K. Full service history too. Just goes to show. :D The Passat is a 'safe' choice. Not the most exciting or glamorous drive but solid and reliable and 50+ MPG. (I do like that) I've got the Jeep for leaping around the countryside and towing duties and in...

The EAS was an easy fix. Apparently it was just a case of clearing the error messages and resetting the EAS computer doo-dah ? It may well have been OK after that, but that's what I thought after the first glitch. It has to be said that it wasn't the most unreliable vehicle I've owned. That...

The P38 has gone. 3 breakdowns in as many months is taking the mick. First one was a total loss of electrical power. Easily sorted but inconvenient as it was at night in the middle of nowhere. I mean, it could've done it on the driveway in broad daylight! Second one was when the fuel line...

Absolutely gobsmacked. Some people are just downright oxygen thieves. . . . . Signed.

Too many years with my head stuck in engine bays I expect. :) My Jeep does the punchy stuff better power weight than the 4.6 108 BHP/Ton vs 101 but lacking in Torques 222 vs 280. Lazy is OK for now :D I will seek it out. :)

Exactly right. Be thankful you haven't got a series LR. :D

This is true. I'll put a Clio diesel in it. :)
