I had that error intermittently and Marty swapped out my driver pack for one he'd fixed. I haven't seen that fault since.
Sounds like fun :) I can't commit until I've seen dates, and possibly the weather seeing as we were using wading mode ON the road round here in January last year!
Here's another red one for Monsieur l'Orange

Probably not all that close to you but definitely closer than Newcastle!
Gordon mentioned he might start a thread like this, but he hasn't yet. So without wishing to step on toes, here's my attempt.
What could we attempt as a group?
I'd be in for:
Headlining
Possibly Ball Joints
Hmm, looks like you got a free Christmas tree with that one!
Nice blue, looking well too.
Have you tried Gliptone on those seats yet? The cleaner does well down in the cracks.
It looks like you've got a very hungry spider somewhere in your HEVAC ducts, I can't imagine may flies get past the pollen filter!
I'm all for it, January might be a tad damp... but if we go large on the barbeque we could keep warm!
February might be a little easier on the finances?
Bloody Hell, you sound like the perfect candidate for this place - welcome :)
First of all, learn by my mistakes: go and buy yourself a Nanocom before you've got a flashing locked out paranoid Range Rover that won't move.
The ability to read all the systems yourself gives great peace of mind when on a long trip.
Second - we need photos :) Have you got a link to the advert?
Sounds like you've got lots of fun ahead, enjoy the trip!
Thanks Richard, I'll get some grease on the pipe.
I've checked and you can pull the wheel up and down a tiny amount but like you say, it's really no issue.
The garage we used is well known for being picky but at least they're thorough. They replaced the jubillee clip on the radiator -> Expansion tank return pipe to try and stop the slow leak there, which was braver than I was when faced with the chance of snapping off the plastic stub :)
Advisories
one for the missing seatbelt buckle cover.
Steering column top bearing slightly worn
Anti-roll bar linkage has slight play in a ball joint nearside front (the ARBs have balljoints?)
Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint offside front
Road wheel with a slightly distorted bead rim nearside rear
Brake pipe slightly corroded offside rear
Hmm, I wonder how many of these will turn into a fail by next year, and if any are likely to cause jiggly steering over bumps (especially surface changes)
You are kidding!!!
How much is postage to you from the UK?
Well it's done, and we've got a fresh ticket.
There were some advisories, most of which seem likely to be related to the wiggly front end.
Steering column top bearing worn? New to me!
I'll list them tomorrow...for your sadistic pleasure :)
Nice one Gordon :)
Gottit. I'll check when they give it back. They're usually happy to do either route but I guess they're a bit miffed that a P38 came in for an MOT and didn't enhance their pension pots :)
Still getting a few here...
Then again the internet hasn't exactly been on top form recently with all to DDoS shenanigens.
Slung it in for an MOT at erm... short notice this morning
The garage (excellent work, but notoriously picky on MOTs) came back with rear pads (not a surprise) and front to rear brake pipes x2 6 hrs to replace.
Am I being rinsed? I know these can be a git on some cars but I see varying reports from 1.5hrs each.
You're a very brave man!
guess so!
It's more of a local pub, for local people :)

I bought the headlining kit from Martrim and it ideally needs 3 people to do it so one can stand either side with a third rollering the material onto the headlining shell. The glue they supply sticks instantly so you have to get it right first time.
Threadjack - but that sounds like an ideal project for another $SeasonCamp I need mine done, and I'm sure we could find a third without looking too far!
