Well, I've done it now for sure. I've gone a bought a D3 as if keeping my tatty old RRC wasn't enough! I'll be selling that soon, will be sad to see it go but look forward to getting to know the D3. I've just ordered a Gap iiD, I just know I'll need it sooner or later. I don't come in here...

This is one of those silly questions but does anybody know what type of plug is attached to the cap on the brake fluid reservoir - it's a 3 way plug/connector and do you think I can identify it!! It doesn't really look like a Junior Power Housing, can't see anything to match in TE connectors or...

Just for a giggle and being bored yesterday I decided I would investigate how easy it is to remove a door skin. I had a damaged rear door to practice on and thought it might be useful for when I eventually get around to trying to repair the rear doors for the basket case LSE I have in bits in my...

I need to get this off my chest, not a happy bunny! Have been having a bit of an issue with my trusty '91 RRC. It has been misbehaving with an occasional rough idle and stalling and it has been getting worse over a couple of weeks, it is now laid up as too poorly to drive. I looked through the...

Had to share! The old Rangie passed its MOT this morning, just a couple of advisories where the tyres have a couple of small cracks. Had to change a brake light bulb but apart from that all good. Emissions were a surprise, CO 0.278% (limit 3.5%) and HC 116 (limit 1200), it is non-cat btw...

Well after 2 years sitting in the shed I finally took the engine out of my basket case LSE. Don't talk to me about bell housing bolts!! Anyway after a bit of a battle the engine is out and I need to get it on to an engine stand but can see I will need an adapter to bolt it on the stand so I...

I have an embarrassing question to ask, I need to swap out the bellows on the air springs. When I bought this basket case it came with a set of Arnott bellows but I have no idea which are fronts and which are rears. I've checked the workshop manual and it has no information on the air...

Happy Christmas V8 lovers, may your engines rumble and roar in the New Year! Thanks to all those who have given of their knowledge, time and experience to help those in need and add to the sum of knowledge in this most excellent place. Cheers, have a good one.

I'm on the look out for miscellaneous bits of Rangie. I have two that I'm repairing/rebuilding. Project one could do with: Rear off side door in Ardennes Green. Front off side wing in Ardennes Green. Lower rear tailgate in Ardennes Green. I might also be interested in a good clean bonnet and...

That's right I have moved from down South and now live in North Wales. I've been a regular with the Hertfordshire Lanes crew for a few years and I have done some laning in North Wales. It would be good to hook up with any one local and get to know who's about up here.

LZ I need some help. My dear old mum has an early L322, diesel with just shy of 61k on the clock. Generally it is a good motor but I drove it yesterday and it doesn't feel at all stable. The air suspension rises as it should and I'm not aware of the compressor running to compensate for a leaking...

Hope somebody can get me out of a spot of bother:o My '91 RRC is having a bit of an electrical glitch. I'm getting close to 19v at the battery with no electrical load (engine running). I suspected voltage regulator so have just finished putting a new one on but no change. I can limit voltage...

Just out of morbid curiosity does anybody know if you can use the swivel preload spring balance values pre-ABS swivels on an ABS equipped axle? The thing is that I don't have a torque wrench that can measure such low values when setting bearing pre-load so I have to sort of guess which is not...

I'm rebuilding my spare alternator; it got a little cooked. I need slip rings, regulator, rectifier and bearings. Simple enough but I can't find anywhere that lists the parts for a Lucas A133 80Amp alternator. If it was a 55amp alternator not a problem, same if it was an Lucas ACR alternator...

Looks like my luck ran out:mad: 1991 3.9 RRC, had a mystery misfire getting progressively worse but only when cold. Then no start; jiggle dizzy cap and wires to coil ran sweet as. Today ran through a few checks and found 18v at battery - voltage regultor not doing its' job, so changed...

My 1991 3.9 RRC having a bit of a dip! Anybody else survived giving their V8 a bath?

Had a strange clicking noise on the steering and found the bolts securing the tie bar to the steering box were loose. Tried to torque them up again but the threads are damaged. No big deal but I can't identify what size the bolts are and wondered if anybody could tell me what bolts and nylock...

A friend of mine has a supercharged 07 plate Rangie and he asked me if I knew how to get the DVD/TV to work when the car is moving. Said I don't know and it is a bit dodgey to do it but I said I would ask, so does anybody know how to get the thing to work when the vehicle is moving? The other...

Some of you may remember I posted a question about odd symptoms I had with the ABS on my '91 Classic. Well, hopefully the following tale may save somebody some hassle. So, the brake pedal would be soft and spongy then it would be firm and pin sharp, no ABS warning lights coming on. Had a...

The ABS is playing up again:mad: The brake pedal feels soft then after an application or two it feels normal again. I suspect the master cylinder is on its' way so will be changing the booster valve assembly as I believe you can't replace the seals. The point to my question is that there...
