Well to be honest, what with the title being “What Have You Done To Your Rover Today” one would expect comments about things one has done to their Rover...... the thread drift was getting a bit far off the path there and where it would end up could be along the lines of “certainly there’s nowt like a good poached albatross egg when you visit Botswana’.....
So to answer your question as to who cares, I do.... I’d prefer not to go flipping through pages of non relevant to the topic “bolloxology” if you don’t mind, but that’s just me. If I’m in the minority, then fair enough, we are all entitled to our opinions. Then again, why bother putting titles on posts? Let’s just all have a rumble and murmur about everything and anything and refrain from post titles...
Editors note:
My terseness today could be caused by the schlacking the Irish got today from the English at Twickenham.
There’s thread drift and then there’s this......
Took my daughter to school in the Linley today. Lady parked behind me in the line for dropoff got out tapped on my window.
Her words: “That’s so cute that you would put your wife’s name on the back of your truck. Wish my husband would do that for me!”
Didn’t have the heart to explain....
Gilbertd..... that was one of the better replies to a post on this site.... it should be a sticky......
Thanks for intel on this.
Does anyone know if they issued a users manual for the navigation system?
Neither of my P38s have such a manual and both vehicles had boat loads of documentation with them. I’d find it hard to believe that LandRover sent these vehicles out without user manuals for GPS.....
TheGPS clocks being off 15 minutes is a head scratcher
Correction it’s not a JANES system it’s a CARIN Phillips.
It’s all working right but when I set the time one to East Coast USA it’s off by 8 hours. Even if I just enter a timezone in the middle of the Atlantic, and time being actually 1330 the GPS says 1315, so it’s 15 minutes off.
Not a huge deal, and it’s not something I use as it doesn’t give traffic updates etc, but I would like it to work as designed.
The vehicle didn’t come with an instruction manual for the GPS, which may be understandable as it would take up the entire boot space, such is the complications of the unit. Ahead of its time back in
2000, but still....
I’m assuming that the satellite the car uses is probably on it’s slow death spiral to the earths atmosphere and soon to burn up.
Another question, does anyone know if the 4 digits code for the GPS to run a self diagnostic is a big standard one or did that come from some brown envelope handed across the desk on new vehicle acquisition?
Finally, would anyone have a spare copy of the CARIN Phillips GPS users manual they would like to sell or even copy?
Does anyone know how I can input the correct time and date into the JANES nav system on P38?
System works fine but time and date incorrect.
Changed every interior bulb to LED, including puddle lamps, glove box etc.
Makes a massive difference. Prior to change I had all the illumination of a birthday candle.... now I can actually see things.
Recommended task....
Does any one have a set, source or part number for the plastic covers that clip on over the exposed bolts that hold the seat belts to the B and C posts?
They are black in color and the only part number I van get from inside them is EWR10004XXX.
Broke 3 of the sh1ts taking them off.....
Refabricated the roof lining in the H&H. Took about an hour to remove. Did the job on my own as the misses was out with friends (social distancing I am sure). I’d recommend two pairs of hands but I am proof that one person can do it, with a cup of tea. Broke all 4 bastard plastic covers for the seat belt holders. Bastard things.....
Removed old fabric,wire brushed the shell, applied heavy duty spray on fabric and shell then Bobs your uncle. Allowed to sit all day and it’s now 153AM in Conneticut, USA and job is done. Phishing rain like a horse on a flat slab but it’s done. Happy with outcome.
Bastard covers.....
“What's wrong with just looking at http://new.lrcat.com/, all models up to 2015.“
Jesus Richard you gave me cold flash with that comment. Sounded exactly like that fuckwit at RR.net Toadhall when he would rant “Its in the RAVE” at every question posted.
Fortunately, we all know u r not a twat.........
White flag here. Lost in translation.... What I have is a brochure for ancillary parts such as spot lights, dog guard floor mats, first aid kit etc. As such I may have misled some into thinking that I have a brochure on all trim and vehicle parts.
I’m blaming global warming and all the talk about electric cars.....
I have one. Send me your email address and I will send you .pdf of pages.
Do you want covers front/back as well? All pages?
Jesus GILBERTD, thats not exactly the College Heave Ho thats gonna get me motivated to take this on....
Procrastinated long enough and now pulling the trigger on “Operation Comfort”.
Bought the bags and am putting plans together to put H&H back on bags.
Compressor rebuilt and hoses all in place.
Anyone got suggestions on next steps to take on this project prior to me jacking car and removing springs. I’d like to have all the ancillary items sorted before taking wheels and springs off and putting her away fro the winter work....
Do I need any special equipment, 2 x jacks, etc
The seller claims to have put $160,000 worth of work into it!
Would like to see the receipts for that...... of course he probably charges $100 an hour labor and all that hourly work time was spent trying to remove the “O” ring in the heater matrix....
Let me get my camera and some thoughtful, descriptive words together and list the LINLEY with a reserve of $500,000!!!!
Worlds gone mad.....
Another location of water ingress onto the floor is through the holes used to hold the lower windshield trim in place. With age the clips that hold that trim in place get brittle and snap off. Also, if your windshield has ever been replaced then these clips in all likelihood have been damaged.
I recently had this problem and ended up buying a new lower windshield trim. I found 5 of the clips damaged and no longer holding the trim to the glass. When ordering this trim you will need to ask seller to include 6 extra clips because they never come with a full set. After I installed mine I ran a thin bead of clear silicone along the upper trim piece between it and the windshield glass. Haven’t had a drop of water since.
Added to this, I pulled the wiring loom you mention out of the sill and drilled three separate holes along the channel so as to allow drainage of any water in the future. I did the same in the floor of the spare wheel storage area as water seemed to gather there a lot. Make sure to protest the bare metal with your favorite product after drilling the holes.....
Now that cold weather has started here in Norther East USA I had noticed a strange set of occurances in AM. This vibration is not from engine and doesn’t happen when car is stationary.
Vehicle starts fine but when I drive the first 5 minutes or so it vibrates bad enough to seem like a wheel is loose. There is no banging or noises from it. This starts at 15MPH and will stay there up to 75 or 80. Eventually (7 minutes or so) it will stop and vehicle drives normally. It’s still on coils (a task I was supposed to handle this summer but now on burners to 2021).
Air pressure in tyres is fine etc......
Only happens on morning with temps below 5C.......
Anyone have this issue?
Resolved.
One of the vacuum lines had fallen loose.
All set
