I meant the Sat Nav by the way. Not the amp. That's a world if pain.

That's exactly what happened to mine. You can take it apart really easily - just snip the seals and pull the top and bottom off. Inspect the green printed circuit board for water damage. If the PCB looks Ok you might be able to get it fixed. I have sent it off to a bloke in Hungary for a £50...

+1 That's a good price. +1 save the oil and take photos of the sump.

Change the transmission fluid and filter. It made the world of difference to my 04 v8 l322 Can't recommend a fluid and filter change high enough.

Nothing that a recon box shouldn't have fixed. Blocked filter, sticking solenoids, overfilled?

Try disconnecting the sat Nav. The connectors were in perfect condition but the circuit board was ruined.

So it's 1950 for the engine + undetermined cost of fitting. But likely about a grand? Still might be worth it. As it is, the car is worth about a grand in spares but about 5 grand as a runner.

Changed the gearbox transmission fluid and filter. Thank you Saint for the how-to, I probably wouldn't have tackled this job without it. In the end, its quite an easy job. Torx "allen" keys make getting the difficult to reach bolts straightforward. Next thing is the cam cover gaskets, which...

Changed coolant. Very confused as to what replace it with, in the end I went with Glysantin G48 (blue). Also topped up the gearbox. it took nearly 250ml. Is that excessive? I'll do a complete oil and filter change in the next couple of weeks.

Also make sure those wheelie bins didn't knock the headlamp wipers ( if fitted). If they're not parked properly this can drain battery.

What's the mileage? Rumbling and dipping revs might be torque converter on the way out 😖

Is the new battery fully charged?

I had this problem. Check all the fuses. From memory there's a 5 amp fuse that had blown.

Hi pwes. I can't help with the new engine but what kind of mileage had you done before the oil pump failed?

My offside rear window is also not working. Just confirmed that it is the motor/regulator mechanism that's duff. I've got 12V at the motor but no movement. My problem is that RAVE says I need to lower the window glass to remove it, but I can't move the glass down without the regulator. Hmmm...

Replaced top hose on my 2004 4.4 V8 (See post 2656). Should I do bottom hose too as a matter of routine maintenance?

Back home now. Will fix it on Tuesday

Yup

Hmm. Top hose popped off on M11 southbound jn 6. Waiting for recovery ;-(

That's funny. Mine aren't. What you've never had you've never missed.
