From what I can see the belts look solid, but are nothing like new ones.

Thanks all for the replies, I can't help but link the two issues too. I'll try and get the fan out next week (that looks a fun job! :rolleyes:) and what I can find. Didn't want to do that and then the more experienced users on here tell me "it's nothing to do with that, it's ......." :D Cheers...

Hi, Back again with another issue (I think). My mates always say they can hear my car before they see it, so I opened the door earlier with the engine running and I know what they mean. There is a sort of ticking coming from the engine bay, I've got a feeling it's the pulleys but I wondered if...

Cheers Rich, do you know what fuse that was? (Im been lazy, I could always check the manual) They are still disconnected at the minute, but I might re connect them, I think everything was just down to the battery been old, wrong and almost dead 😂

Took the hit and bought a New Yuasa Battery (yeah I know from halfords - but has a 5 years guarantee on it 😂) Turns out the old battery was a 019 but CCA and Ah were really low! Something like 650cca Anyway fitted the new 020 (950CCA 110Ah) and fired up first time and still started this...

Not yet, trying the simple things first, but I can see its going to get to this pretty soon That's a good point, I haven't got one, but will buy one If I have the same issue. It would be a coincident if both of the batteries are no good, but it's deinitely not unheard of! Cheers for the reply

Cheers Pete, that'll be my next task, I will find the issue 😂

Just disconnect both wiper motors and put it on charge again. Will update after a few days 👍

Perfect, Cheers Datatek, will give this a go

Ah yeah I understand. Don't suppose you can tell me a quick test / fix? Just researching it too as I'm doing this. Could I just unplug it or remove a fuse for a few days to test it? Thanks again 👍

Cheers Datatek. Yeah it does have headlamp wipers, I'll research that, what do you mean by not parking properly?

Just to close this off! This was 100% what it was! That's exactly the solition I used too! Thanks badfuffy! Saved me alot of effort. RR will sadly be gone in Oct (probably scrapped) Love it, but far too many issues popping up recently, almost weekly. This fix will keep me going until then...

Morning, Another week another problem! This time I have a real issue with something I can't figure out, battery drain I don't do many miles as I work from home so every few months I have to put the car on charge, which is fine. But recently I have to put it on charge every 2 nights, even when...

Morning, I need to remove my rear wheel, which I've done a million times on other cars, but no on my RR, so I have a quick question. I know there are two jack points for the sissor jack, but as I need to remove the disc I'm not trusting the sissor jack and will use a trolley jack. But I...

Nice 1, will take a look later today when I do it

Brilliant, I'll get the disc off tonight and see what I can do, not going to risk safety for the sake of a few days.

No it never worked properly, worked enough to barely get it through the MOT but they told me it was the cable that had stretched and that was the issue and wanted a stupid amount to fit a new one. They weren't RR speciailists - I only use specialits now, but they can't fit me in for at least a...

Nice 1, if I'm going to do it I might as well do it right. Now going totally again that, I can't get the parts until early next week and I should be going away this weekend. Would I be stupid to put the screw back in for the weekend and go away (40 miles drive)?

Brilliant, thanks! Yeah will get them ordered now, might as well put new handbrake shoes on them too whilst I'm at it. Thanks Marjon, that was really hepful 👍 Here's a video I found too explaining in detail if it helps anyone else out:

Thanks! The handbrake doesn't work really at all - could explain a few things! A garage replaced the handbrake shoes for me last year - I don't think they had a clue what they were doing to be honest. I just googled it and it is the Handbrake shoe hold down!! 👏 What a start!! Now to figure out...
