Not right now I'm not 😀 but we could sort another meeting if you like?
Yes, I think you are right. She stayed up at wading height overnight pretty well but needed a very brief top up to stop the top eas light flashing on startup. It settled in about 5s. That seems acceptable to me but I'll have to measure the drop.
The last pump was inaudible from inside the cabin but the new one can be heard and it does seem to run quite a bit while moving.
I tried comparing with Ashley's p38 this afternoon but he has aftermarket exhausts and the rumble masks the pump. Probably.
Or maybe I'm just not used to hearing the pump run when moving. Dunno! But it seems sensible to check
The Duchess has risen!
Marty is on his w@ay back.
Thank you all and safe trip Marty 😀
Whatever floats your boat hahaha 😀
The pump will be changed. Marty is en route as i type and earning even more heroism points.
I'm blown away by the support from everyone. Thank you. You have made the impossible happen.

You two are both utterly fantastic. Being stuck in Dorset isn't exactly the Sahara but we've got a 6 year who is expecting us to pick him up on Saturday.
Hopefully I can get rolling either with the new pump or the valves (or both) thanks to you guys.
My theory is that the pump which has been inaudible up to now has been working too hard due to a leak or a valve block problem. The Duchess is never normally parked on level ground so I haven't been taking notice of the height in the morning.
I'll test as soon as I can but mine host won't be amused if I delay today's shooting while I delve under the car! I'll get on it as soon as we finish but I'm pretty sure we will be able to get back home wiyh the new parts and do a full diagnosis and fix.
Thank you!!
Bit of a shitty trip 😣
The EAS compressor started sounding rattly and then the EAS just got lower and lower. No faults, and I haven't got the 35mph warning yet.
I'm guessing it is the pump, but how do I check it? I'm going to have to move fast to get a replacement if it's the fault.
Thanks!

Are you not aware of my work? :)
That seems to have helped the front end quite a lot! The Duchess now has something approaching Turn In which is a vast improvement :)
The mechanic said she was "Like a 3 year old car" underneath compared to a bogging Disco2 of the same age but half the mileage. Which was nice...

Confucius was a bit of a twonk then. I use many axlestands, and, last time I looked, I hadn't become one?
Yeah I cocked that up didn't I :)
I think my OEM fetish would have to go away at that point!

And that's all I know! sorry.
I live in fear of failing bags. Luckily mine are new (well, two years old now). It's something I'd like to watch at a Summer Camp one time. If Marty gets over the last one :)
Wow, great spot Clive! I can't imagine that guy is making a fortune on ebay, what a service.
I'll hold off on the tool, I know a guy who will have the right thing. Here's a shot of him giving a Morris Minor Van a "thorough going over" :)
Oh, and does anyone have any idea how I can sort out some captive nuts for the rear dog guard mounts Marty gave me? I'm a bit stumped, as I can't imagine that welding them on would do the paint on the roof any good!
edit: is this the sort of thing?

We have one of these: https://www.easyanimal.co.uk/solvit-tri-scope-dog-ramp.html
Not cheap, but very solid so the dog trusts it and long enough to give a reasonable gradient.
It folds up short enough to fit lengthways in the boot so there's plenty of space left for the dog.

We got one of those with the fleece liner, works a treat although I'm going to have to get some more velcro tape stuff after ripping it all out for a good wash (again!).

The removalable picnic table in the boot is a new one to me,, I thought they had the gun cabinets,, must be rare,, but the guys having a laugh if he thinks it’s worth ten grand, or near that ( he mentioned they sell 5 figures)
I’m thinking if it’s super clean 3-5k.
But to be honest I don’t like the interior ..
I think the gun cabinets started with the L322. The picnic table is a nice piece of wood, but only that.
Going for the Full Sauna look?

Potato!!
or in my case - TWO Potatos! :)
And maybe a blowing exhaust afterwards :(
