Update time. Overheating solved she runs nicely now so she went in for an MOT today. She did fail but it should be a fairly easy fix, 2 flexi pipes, front to back hard line, horn not working and battery insecure. The last one is totally my fault, she had a flat battery this morning and in my...

Found my overheating problem. The radiator is shot it just started peeing all over my drive:D

I found some of the coolant hoses don’t look too clever. The ones that are spliced in for the LPG system are rock hard and completely inflexible and I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a partial blockage. I will be changing all the hoses I think as all bar the top hose look ancient. I have...

I suspect you are right on that it was a known fault and because of that I think the chances of getting them to take it back are zero and it's not even worth trying. The car was supposed to be a running project and originally supposed to come with an MOT. The seller said that they had personal...

It will get one once its been checked over and any issues sorted out. It's on private land at the moment and was delivered on a trailer. I bought a project car so was expecting issues.

Here's mine 24hrs of ownership and already giving trouble :(

My P38 was delivered to me yesterday afternoon and overall I am pleased with it although it is being a typical Range Rover already. How long does an early 4.6 normally take to warm to normal operating temperature? Mine seems to warm up alarmingly fast. I have only driven her up the farm track...

It’s not stupidly loud no. It has a more noticeable V8 throb than normal but we could hold a conversation over it without raising voices. To be honest it’s no noisier than my old 300tdi disco. I can’t wait until it gets here it’s my first V8! With petrol prices so high it seemed to me the ideal...

Hello all I have just purchased a 1995 4.6hse and it has been straight piped by the previous owner. I haven’t got her home yet and she needs an MOT before she can be used. With the centre silencer straight piped but the back box remaining is it likely to be too loud for MOT?

Now sorted

Too big for my truck sadly GVW is 4000kg so I suspect a D2 would put me over weight.

Definitely not! I won’t drive any lane without a group and have personal AA membership as well as my own flatbed trailer and beaver tail recovery truck.

They say they have no recovery. I doubt they will do that twice

See if anyone else local can help with the parts. I don’t like the idea of leaving someone stranded as I know I would appreciate it if I was in that situation myself.

Over 200 miles from home so really not a good idea to drive that distance with clamped off brakes

Some lads on their own I believe. They have posted on the Strata and SYM Facebook page asking for help parts wise. This isn’t someone I know and no photos have been posted. That page though does not take kindly to off piste mind.

Copying across from Strata Florida Facebook page. Stranded D2 in need of a rear calliper to drive it home. I have advised to clamp of the the flexi to the wheel. Obviously it would be better if it had a working callipers. Unfortunately having never owned one I have no D2 parts whatsoever

I’m about an hour from bont I can run people around if needed.

I haven’t got the bits you need sorry. The best I can do is a 15 inch wheel complete with a 31 10.50 15 bf Mt. I don’t mind going to help.

anyone know how to get her to recognise her keys as currently she don't want to know and I really would like to see if this engine replacement was worth the effort
