Yes. And thanks for keeping this forum going.

Nice to hear from you again Henry. Looks like a great ride.

Shattered car window glass goes everywhere. Fortunately it's quite safe to handle.

Another welcome. I also had my 1965 Series 2A more than 20 years when I got the P38! They're great vehicles.

Oh man! Thanks for the info on the seller. I hope you get it sorted soon.

Thanks for that offer Tom. I may take you up on it sometime.

That's great. I've also used Maniac, but they don't ship to Canada, so it's a bit of a hassle getting their parts here. We don't seem to have a similar supplier on this side of the border.

Way to go Richard! A very well maintained P38.

That is steep. I didn't pay that much for my whole P38 10 years ago.

Sadly that type of thing happens on this side of the Atlantic as well.

Good find. It's nice to figure out the real problem before changing parts that are fine.

If I ever get another Rangie it will probably be a L322. I think they are great vehicles.

IIRC, it's always the RH lock that controls the tailgate, regardless of RH or LHD.

Zero is perhaps indicating something like a valve that's stuck open? As you say it's not likely something catastrophic. Can you remove a rocker cover and watch while turning the engine over?

I'm in British Columbia (Canada)

The photos make it look like they're genuine LR branded bags.

Also, if anyone wants my Arnott bags for cheap (I have less than 2 years on them), let me know (after my above review I don't think anyone will be interested though).

I'll chime in with my Arnott (Gen 3) experience. They work as advertised, stiffer when lower (handles nicely on the road) and softer when raised (handles nicely off road). However, I had 2 springs fail catastrophically on 2 separate occasions (when extending to max extension they blew right apart, leaving me on the bump stops). Arnott's warranty was good and they replaced the spring each time, but I couldn't stand the chance of having another failure. Also their warranty is only 2 years if you are not in the USA.
I loved the way they handled and I wish I could have continued to trust them. I think that I've had Dunlop bags now for 6 years and haven't had any issues.

I used Island 4x4 to Canada for my air springs (a number of years ago now). That worked great. I also use LR Direct and have been happy with their service.

That sounds interesting. I don't suppose you could post a picture? I also feel that the wheels get heavier every year.
