Somehow when I went to reply it didn't show up with GilbertD's response - otherwise I wouldn't have posted the same sites!

I've noticed that the forum doesn't show there's a second page unless there's 2 or 3 posts in it so you don't always notice that you aren't replying to the most recent post.

Vibration through the car isn't usually the front end. I've noticed that out of balance or out of round rear wheels seem to start at around 60mph and will come through the whole car. You'll feel it through the steering but you'll feel it through your bum too. A rear prop that is out of balance or even bent will do the same.

www.filllpg.co.uk is the best place to look but 62p is taking the piss. The main Peterborough services on the A1(M) is only 55.9p and is the most expensive around here.

50p? You're being ripped off. Only 46.9 from a Morrisons near me. I remember when prices went up a couple of years ago when it was around 80p a litre, still cheaper than petrol though. I still think we've got a good deal. Petrol got up to what £1.25 a litre? Something like that but now it's down to a quid or so and LPG has come down by virtually the same amount. Best deal I've found recently on fuel is central heating oil. I live on the edge of a village and they couldn't be bothered to run the gas main across the main road so I use oil for heating. The first lot I bought when I moved in 5 years ago cost me £320 for 500 litres. I bought 1,000 litres last week for £302......

LR Direct list an original https://www.lrdirect.com/ANR3323-supplied-by-landrover-branded-landrover.html and Britcar list a quality replacement as well as the Britpart one http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/107754/5497/brake_valve_assy_abs_nrr.

Both mine work fine. Keep good time too.

If it isn't a hose, then a slight leak from the valley gasket would be my next choice. There's waterways through the inlet manifold into the heads at both ends and torquing the bolts up at the back is awkward so I bet they often don't get the same torque as the others. The only core plugs at the back of the engine are behind the flywheel so inside the bellhousing so any leak would drip out the bottom of that rather than run down the outside.

Looks to me like the horizontal one is the positive. Purple wire has volts, black wire is ground.

Where did you obtain these, please? Pre-made or did you go to a local hose supplier?

I didn't, they were on the cars when I got them. I assumed they were standard as both have them (a '97 4.0SE and a 98 4.0 police special)

I've got a downloaded version that was freely distributed and I don't remember it needing a crack. Although it does have my name as a registered user and I have to tell my computer it's September 2006 or it complains that it has expired so maybe it did. I've probably got the installer on a CD somewhere. If I find it, I'll confirm but I agree with Gordon, it's probably best to not discuss it openly. I rarely use it these days now there is the Russian hosted version online.

As long as you de-pressurise the suspension first, not too much. I've changed a front axle but leaving the radius arms attached to the axle and by leaving them on the car. There's not a lot to choose really. In addition to some pretty big sockets and a long breaker bar, all you'll need is a big pry bar and a lump hammer to get the holes to line up again so you can fit the bolts.

I wouldn't have thought how a car is used would have any affect on the hose from the pump, it's going to have full pressure in it all the time whether the brakes are being used a lot or not. Ambient temperature may well have an affect though.

Tell him he can do the job for €350 cash but you'll supply the parts. Eurocarparts over here want £75 for a complete clutch kit. It's only £105 for a genuine Valeo! Even with postage it isn't going to come to €650.......

I know all about the prices of cars over there. My mate runs an old Discovery that he wouldn't part with for any money and currently also has a Peugeot 406 Coupe while his wife has a Toyota Rav4 and his son a Porsche Boxster. All RHD, UK registered and bought in the UK. What can be picked up for a grand over here would cost you almost 3 times that over there. He paid £1200 for a Saab 9-3 convertible last year that I picked up for him from a local trader and his intention was to keep that and sell the Peugeot. Then someone offered him 3000 Euros for the Saab so he kept the Peugeot. I had a car to bring back last summer so we looked around for something to use as a trailer filler for the way down. I paid £600 for a Ford StreetKa (the convertible Ka) which sold on Anglo Info for 2500 Euros despite it needing a new clutch. It's bonkers it really is.

Weather stations transmit a data burst anything from every minute to every half hour. If you are parked in range of one transmitting every minute the BeCM will never get chance to go to sleep. The other good one, if you are in a rural area with no mains gas, is level senders in heating oil tanks. They should send a burst every couple of hours or so (although not sure why they need to do it that frequently, 1000 litres of oil lasts me almost a year!) but when the battery starts to get low, they'll send a burst every second or so. I'm sure the buggers put out more than the 10mW the LPD licence exemption allows too, as they will go for miles!

There's a guy called Florent who is heavily into his P38 and making off road bits for them. He organised a French P38 rally last year and from the photos that I saw posted somewhere, some of them were taken outside the Land Rover dealers alongside the A6 just north of Lyon. Not seen him around for a while and his profile on Rangerovers.net shows his location as Paris. His username on there is 996TURBO (so I suspect he's doing quite well out of making bits for off road P38s....). He's on facebook, or at least his company is, https://www.facebook.com/rrevolution.evolution/ and his website is http://rr-evolution.com/. Although he may be in Paris, he may be able to put you in touch with someone in Lyon or Dijon that can drag the car back for you (he may even know someone that can change a clutch for a sensible price too). He speaks reasonable English too, or he's found a computer translator that doesn't convert a language into something that may contain all the right words but in completely the wrong order....

Ouch! That's a new one. On both mine it's a stainless braided hose and they don't usually fail.

You can still check it sitting inside the car, although you do get some funny looks from the neighbours when you are sitting motionless in a car in a parked car at night.

Tiger Seal.......

and with a Zirconia sensor you don't get a change in resistance, they generate the output voltage. The change from Titania was partly to make it easier to fall into line with the OBD2 standard which assumes 0-1V sensors (compared with the 5-0V from a Titania) and probably as a cost saving exercise (as they are a lot cheaper). Downside is that Titania don't need a hole for reference air so aren't affected by being dunked in water when wading whereas Zirconia aren't very happy with being submerged. If you've been thrashing down your lane to get to the garage, you could have killed them by filling them up with water (I know I've still got muddy water stains on the underside of my bonnet (and everywhere downwards of there) on mine from following you down there).
