Hi Harv, we´ll try this tipp. THX!

update ... car was at a dealer and they disconnected the receiver coil in the ignition barrel. That helped for two days until the alarm went off while driving on the highway.
I have now the suspicion that either the fuse box, the earth points or finally the BECM may cause the erratic behaviour, as the fuel filler refused to open for some reasons (it finally opened up and I told the fellow about the manual override in the late models ;-) )
I´ll keep this updated, as soon as we know more. Very strange ...

Yes, it is very strange ... I guess, I have to check it myself with the car and dig deeper into the alarm system and its connection to ignition barrel. Will take a while until the car gets to me, it is in France at the moment ... sadly the fellow doesn't have any diagnostic equipment.

I´ve asked my friend. Everything works, as it should. Car unlocks with the fob, LED is off when unlocked and blinks when car is closed. Starts and drives normal, but with alarm. He has disconnected the horn etc.. As soon as he inserts the key the alarm gets off. Seems like the microswitch or the receiver in the ignition barrel. It is an early Thor from 99 V8.

Hi at all, one my P38 fellows has a strange problem. When he inserts the key in he ignition barrel the alarm sets of ... horn/indicator. Fob unlocks and locks without any issues. Anyone ever had this phenomena? Hints, where to start? Car is not with me at the moment ...
thanks
Kurt

Thankful to Pierre ... merci pour l´inspiration! ;-)

got the package ... fits nice, now new headliner ;-)

Thanks a lot for all the help, hints and tipps!

Got the AC checked, system is tight as a submarine, minimal loss.
Found a like new/unused parcel shelf, a travelling Kit/boot tray and a NOS set of carpet mats, feels a bit like Christmas.

Yesterday with 30C outside the electric fans were running, but in slow mode.
Speed was mostly in TC mode in a hilly valley, so load on the engine and not that much cooling by „breeze“ ;-)

leolito ... I contacted the parts department by email and they answered ;-)

Jansen LR parts in the Netherlands have some of the clips in stock, both used and new …

I got the samples for the finisher material, which don't look satisfying :-( BUT I ordered some of the clips from a breaker in UK, will report if they fit (my purpose), when they arrive in Germany.

It is indeed from D2 ... EGP100290LUM

Cool, never seen that before … does anyone know the part number?

Bonjour Pierre, thanks ... where did You get this image? I did not know there is a clip-in finisher (never seen one ...) I guess it is part number 17 in Your illustration? 18 is the seal (I haven't seen/recognized in my catalogues ;-) )
The part numbers are both correct, as with many parts from LR ...
Can You please look for the part number "17"? Merci beaucoup!

hi Richard, I guess that will do it, sourced it over here and will get a sample. Thanks, will update if something fits, when the sample arrives.

Found it now ... BTR2697LUM out of stock ... now I am searching for a substitute, I guess this kind of finisher is in many cars.

Hi, I am searching for the part number and/or technical name for the finisher, which closes the gap at the headlining around the sunroof. Fitted a new headliner and as always , the old one doesn't look nice. I guess they are not available new any more, but it does look like a usual automotive part and there should be substitutes around ... anyone a tip?
I have searched the parts catalogues, but can't find the item :-(

Paradox intervention … blast the dye with compressed air into the system. Will bring it everywhere and will show the leak, as with the coolant under pressure?

Hi Richard, the solar sensor can be triggered by a really bright torch light, I was told. Maybe You can test, if the Nano shows the alteration? Iirc the test was, as You described, to point a torch light to the sensor and the fan speed should increase.
