There’s a window strip that runs the lower length of your front windshield. Often this will wear out and the clips that hold it into the lower window frame will perish. With that water coming down the windshield will get under the strip and find its way in through the holes where those clips attach to and run down to the floor.
I removed the window strip and bought a new one. When putting it back in I had to remove a number of the clip pieces from inside various holes. I also put a tiny dab of silicone on each hole. No more water on the floor.
Also, while you are at the above, I would suggest that you remove the windshield wipers, remove about 8 screws holding in three plastic covers. Remove these covers and you will probably discover a bunch of leaves and hazelnuts etc. clear them out.
At the backside of the longer piece of plastic you will notice where a mesh had been attached. This usually perishes. This is important to replace as it keeps the leaves and such from entering into the gulley below the windshield which can cause water to get into the vehicle. I cobbled some plastic mesh from a home supply place , removed the metal wiring that held in the old mesh and replaced it. While there I added a stripe of silicone on inner side of both air intakes, where the filters go in order to help guide water away from them.
Pain in the arse to have to remove so much to put the mesh in and to clear e gulley but well worth it.
As an aside, with so much water in the door way you should probably check the site plugs further forward along that loom to make sure they are not damp.
I just purchased and installed the controller as described in the link by BOLT on Sept 19th above.
Took all of 30 minutes to change out. Fixed the left blower motor issue.
I would say it was the best $10 I have ever spent but that would not do justice to the time I spent in Bangkok some years ago....
Did you try letting the misses out of the boot?
Cheers for that....
Anyone have a spare speed controller they would be interested in selling?
Finding a breakers yard in the Great State of Conneticut is like finding an ashtray on a bicycle. I found one on eBay for $69 but in the interim will hold off for a few days to see if someone here would have one that would be sure to be in working order on arrival.
When I have blower control on HI both blowers run full speed.
When I select a lower speed setting, the right motor adjusts accordingly but the left motor stays on high speed.
I have R&R the left blower motor, separated the housing from the motor, cleaned the relay with contact cleaner and cleaned the internal components but the issue still exists.
I have noted that the relay for the left blower tends to get hotter than the one for the right motor but cant think of any reason for this. I did note a hairline crack running from one of the left relays ports to another port and, with that in mind, I swapped the entire fuse panel with another vehicles panel and the high speed only mode still exists with the left fan motor.
Questions;
Probably worth $15,000 in my opinion. But as my wife says, what do I know?
@Bolt, what unicorn are you referring to that went for $45k?
Cheers
He knows enough about it to be asking 55 clams for it!!!
ABS and TC light will come on if one of the sensors has worn down or if there is corrosion on the half shaft where the sensors pick up their signal. Hopefully its the the sensors. They can be a mare to remove.... Blast them with rust remover or your favorite bolt loosener for a few days prior to removing. If you are replacing sensors do both of them.
That is a beautiful P38 mate. Congrats on winning that award.
Great to see one so well taken care of...
Why would one put L322 headlights on a P38?
That’s a fantastic testament to your ownership....
Well done..
Great pic Morat!!!!
Saw that.
Price range is fairly large, as you say.
Worth a punt if you can get one for south of 6 bills I think....
@OldShep56.... need to have a big garage as I spend most of my time there cos I usually end up on the wrong side of my misses’ points of view!
I haven't a clue as to its value. I had a correspondence with the folk at LR about the valuation but they seem to think that there is no way to put an appraisal to it. Person in question told me that Landrover had assumed this vehicle no longer existed. Apparently they had located 4 of the 6 originally built except for the one that was stolen back in 2002 and they had mine written off as being untraceable considering it was here stateside and there was no mention of it anywhere until last year when it resurfaced.
She’s insured for 50k but I can insure my dogs back leg for 100 grand so long as I’m willing to pay the monthly payments on it!!!
It’s the left side.....
I’ll try getting something in to clean it. Beats the alternative.
I put new new ones in and still got same ABS error message.
I removed one of the sensors again and used a flashlight to look inside opening where sensor goes. Looks like the hub that the sensor touches has a lot of corrosion on it and I’m guessing this is my “new” ABS issue.
Looks like I’m gonna have to pull the shaft out of I want the ABS light to go away....
Suggestions or comments?
Great work so far mate.
If I could make a suggestion.... while you have the seats out of it you should remove the roof/ceiling and reupholster it. With all the great work you are doing in cleaning her up it would be a shame to have the roof lining looking gash.
The biggest part of removing the ceiling is getting the seats out and you already have that done.
Reupholstering the shell is a straight forward job and will be well worth the effort.
Keep up the good work...
Yeah it’s special made and being pulled by a Ford F550 Diesel Super FX4....
