Right, that's enough. I asked a civil question about EAS valves which has now been hijacked into an ego match between a few a holes. Mods, please delete this thread. Reasonable contributors, my genuine thanks, you know where I am.

No, there's no hope for those who think it ISN'T rudely phrased, and as for 'not listening to good advice', I'm sorry for that lack of comprehension, or tollerance. What P38, and now Whammers, are actually doing is getting grumpy when someone won't do as they TELL them. That's not advice.

As you wish,

Thanks for your 'advice' phrased as a very rude statement. I have received a lot of excellent, friendly and very helpful advice from several people, most of which I would follow, if I were able. That which I can follow, I will. THEIR advice was given in a friendly, supportive way, even offering...

That's what I'm thinking, but I don't mind having a block handy just in case!

None of his bloody business what decisions I make, clearly has not read the whole thread otherwise would know the wiring has been checked, and was damned rude in the way he phrased it.

Hm, good point - possible, but I'm assured the compressor is new(ish). I accept that doesn't mean it won't die though. It's very hard to know exactly what has been done, as it's a case of Chinese Whispers from mechanic to mechanic to me. But shhh, Big Red (aka Timmy2) is behaving so far this weekend

No, I'm ready to accept that a) he might be right, b) never turn down the offer of good parts, c) Americans are bloody rude.

Thanks, what would you like for your valve block and postage? Don't know how to start a private conversation from here!

Well, he seems to have checked everything properly, so we're back to the valve block again. He can't find any individual valves, so is looking for s/h block. I'll check and clean the connectors, though, over the weekend, and download the EAS software. I used to have a cable, and a kicker, when I...

Hi there, so exactly where am I looking, and what am I looking for?

Thanks Kurt, will bear that in mind and let you know, as you say, first things first, Wammers' et al's wiring checks.

Hurrah! More updates later, but expensive diagnostics have lead to the conclusion 'it's the valves'. I'm getting my car back as it was! So I can check connections this weekend :)

Hi Dan, believe me, I want to! I just have to a) prise my beloved boy out of their clutches before they do anything horrible to him, and b) defeat the exhaustion/ shakes demons of Parkinsons and stress that have taken hold these last 2 days. I have just phoned for an update and 'usual mechanic'...

Now I'm getting worried. Apparently several thousand £s worth of diagnostic equipment, does the diagnostics for Taunton LandRover, and I haven't heard anything...I think I want my car back.

I'm in Somerset, happy to travel a bit...

Yes that was a red flag to me too, seemed too easy and expensive a way out.

It just came up with 'EAS FAULT', the pump kept running, when Green Flag unplugged the pump the car stayed level and drove perfectly. It did try a bit of up-and-down at the front just before the pump was disconnected, and that morning while reversing out of my space did a little dance at the...

That is what I have done, apparently. If I could describe things (what things? All I know is what the mechanics tell me) in more detail I'd be a mechanic. I asked can he change one valve instead of the whole block - question more than answered. No need to be grumpy.

P38 Spares, OEM valve block £975?????????????????????????????? I don't think so!!
