Sort of, anyway. You can save it if you right click the link and trust me!
Good call :) I'll have another proper look - I couldn't see anything with a quick peek by the side of the road. Soaking bolts can't be a bad idea either...
The gaskets are interesting. 2 Quid from Britpart or 40 from Land Rover!
Yep, just noise. It eases off on over-run, and it's pretty grim on acceleration. We're still running on all 8 smooth as ever.
Or do I just buy industrial quantities of Plus Gas and man up?
The Duchess has had a mild tick for a long time now, and this time round she got an advisory for a slight leak of exhaust from the manifold.
Today I overtook a van with full beans and suddenly I'm driving a steam train!!
Call me a wimp but I really don't have a clue where to go next. She'll probably got to the local garage (who have been very good) but just in case, are there any simple things I should try first? I'm guessing that it's likely I'll need to pony up for a new (passenger) manifold - are there any recommended ones?
Thanks!

There are enough around to make it worthwhile but you can no longer count on filling up en route without a diversion. I take half a tank of petrol and normally end up doing longer (for me) journeys 50:50 LPG and petrol. It's still a significant saving.
Those Russian trenches are pathetic!
MOT! 7k since the last one (can I hear Richard laughing? :) ) and just some niggling advisories apart from some bulbs that they fixed at the garage. 5 bulbs, only two I knew about! hey ho.
Do they still do emmission tests?
He should come and have a play with P38! :)
Hmm, I'd have been happier changing a CR2032 than an EEPROM!!
ah well- thanks for the info :)
Maybe it's time to do a conversion to a tablet - and finally get BT music :)
Yes, my handheld GPS units (going back a few years now!) would always be happiest if you switched them on within a few days and a few miles of where you switched them off. If you flew, say, from Germany to Canada and switched on - you could be in for a significant wait.
That satnav in the RR either fires up with the correct location or puts us in Barnett Lane, Barnett which seems to be the default location at least for my car. It takes an hour or so to work out where we really are and then it's perfectly accurate. This makes me suspect that either the almanac data has run out (but noone else seems to have this issue and I'm on the latest disk) or the antenna isn't working very well (but it's accurate once it gets a fix) or the time being off is enough to force the unit to start from scratch with no position carried over from the last time it was switched off.
Or something else!
Weirdness!
Ooof tough break :(
Dare I ask how old the fan was? I've a sudden desire to replace mine.
Does anyone know why my satnav keeps losing the time? I've noticed that when the SatNav decides we're in London (probably 90% of the time) the time displayed on the data screen is incorrect. If I drive for long enough the SatNav will eventually pick up the correct location, and time.
Thinking like a computer geek, is there a battery in the SatNav unit like the motherboard battery in a PC? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
No worries. I'm not saying it's compulsory :)
But I also doubt it would be very expensive.
I also know jack shit about P38s compared to most people on here so I'm not offended!
ah well, thanks :)
I can recommend Brian:

He'll probably be really busy right now getting people ready for the shooting season but come spring time he should be more available. Worth a shout in any case.
What happens if the headlight switch is on? Because I could really do with the headlights turning off with the ignition. For.. erm. .reasons :)
My factory sat-nav still works! Well, sometimes. Also, it still thinks it's 2012 or something so there are still roundabouts on the A1 and my house is a field... but it's hilarious compared to Google Maps :)
Remove the wood, take it to a quality gunsmith who repairs/replaces shotgun stocks. Ideally Holland and Holland! Where are you located?
I've been tempted in the past to have a "No Fly" type tag for the steering wheel of any car in the fleet that is currently "Down". I run three cars in a RAIV* configuration ie any one car can fail and be fixed in slow-time. Sometimes it's so slow that I forget!
*Not a real acronym. I stole it from IT - Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.
