Morning all, another day, different car (and problem) my 2011 RR 322 seems to be suffering with poor DAB reception. When I originally purchased it there was no DAB reception which I traced to a faulty DAB module. I swapped this out and all was good for about 6 months and now I’m only finding...

Hi all, ...and Happy New Year!! - late I know So after: - my rapid purchase prep of a Freelander 2 for daughter #1 - an extensive (4 weeks) bout of Covid I've managed to get back to my projects and more specifically the 4.2 RRS that had misfire issues. I had dismantled it all prior to...

Morning all, This is probably a daft question… but I’ve noticed that both the (aftermarket) fobs for my daughters FL2 have key ring loops(what are they called?) that are probable too big and kind of interfere with the motorised docking process. It also makes it difficult/impossible to use any...

Hi all, after lots of servicing activity last weekend including changed throttle body and fuel filter I can't get the car started. There are no codes on SDD (there were before I change the TB) I ran the SDD process for new TB which completed successfully. I suspected that it was an air in...

Morning all, I’ve just (yesterday) payed a deposit and committed to buy an FL2 HSE TD4 for daughter no1 as she has no car having separated from her partner and has a young baby. She doesn’t know it’s doing yet as I want to check it thoroughly on arrival - it’s done just over 100k miles receipts...

Hi folks, Finally got the time to pursue the misfire on the RR Sport 4.2 S/C I was pursuing what I thought was an injector problem but on removing the S/C - taking of the throttle body lower elbow was a B**tard! I found that some fool and actually trapped the rubber hose that links the two fuel...

in a fit of complete incompetence I have managed to put a scratch/dent down both passenger doors on my 2011 L322 - It may be the final straw as I’ve long felt my driveway entrance was too narrow….and on bin day in the dark and pouring rain….. anyway the local body shop say it needs ‘weld...

ok, not as exciting as the title suggests…. Does anyone have or have experience of laser cleaners/rust removers. I‘ve been hankering after one for a while primarily for use on the ‘66 S type Jag in my garage, but as I’m About to clean up the chassis before putting in a new bulkhead I can see...

After months of inactivity due to a whole series of life events I've managed to get back into the saddle of Defender repairs. I am currently replacing the bulkhead and ran into a hopefully minor problem. After spending nearly an hour working out where I was at back in February.... I removed the...

Hi all, I‘ve been eliminating air leaks on my 4.2 s/c RRS and was running a smoke test on the throttle body yesterday and discovered smoke escaping from the base of the two pipes at the rear of the throttle body (See pics) one is hard plastic and runs to the top of a t-piece leading to the brake...

Morning all, I’m still chasing a misfire on my ‘cheap’ 4.2 s/c RRS I’m slowly narrowing it down: Compression is good across all cylinders (both hot and cold) All coil packs are good Plugs are new 02 sensors are good Starting to suspect it’s fuel pressure related - subject to me getting a y...

Title says it all! I’ve managed to get a workshop manual for my ‘05 sport supercharged but my search and Google skills have failed me with respect to a parts catalogue - can anyone point me at a pdf - or the equivalent of JTIS (for jag parts)

Morning all, I’m looking for recommendations for a slide hammer to use to remove the injectors on my 05 RRS 4.2 s/c. I’ve seen them advertised for around £65 with a slight bend to them. I was wondering what experience folks have had and whether the ‘bent’ version is what’s required for access...

As if I don't have enough projects, my defender 110 bulkhead replacement got paused due to winter and home extension delays, my Jag 3.8S full resto got paused to sort the defender, My XKR is running so I am pretending I can't hear the tick from the supercharger.... I purchased a new (for me)...

Hi all, probably seems a strange post, but I’m excavating the front of my 110 on a journey to replace the bulkhead and of course the number of parts I’ve identified as needing to replaced on the way is growing… Anyway, the front shocks and springs are pretty rusty and the towers are in poor...

Hi folks my intake hose (part ESR184) is mangled and is probably end of life. The question is, do I have to shell out £60+ for a new one or is it a standard size that can be easily fabricated? Any and all suggestions welcome steve

Hi all, Just put my 200tdi 110 in for an MOT - which didn't go quite to plan.... All the bodywork/bulkhead issues which I was worrying about - were fine - woop! However the lights which I tested yesterday weren't There was no n/s main beam, indicator, sidelight! - The MOT garage are good...
