argh, ok. Thanks.
I guess it's time to have that door apart again and see if any of the wiring is crusty.

So, just sitting in the house, doing not much and suddenly WEEP WEEP WEEEP
The Duchess decides that someone has opened the front left door. Yes the same one that had a new (ebay) outstation a couple of weeks ago and a Marty refurbished door lock a few months ago. I silenced the alarm, "Alarm Triggered LH-F" and drive her forward and back a few yards. "Door Open LH-F" showed up. It's intermittent, but that's clearly enough to mean I can't lock the car. All other functions are fine (windows, mirrors, central locking).

On a normal car I'd be looking for one of those rubber covered pin switch things, but I can't see one on the Range Rover.
What's the most likely cause?
Cheers!

Why not get the JBLs and fit the whole set? I don't see any reason to keep the stock tweeters if you're going to replace the mids. I've used JBL (Well, Infinity, but they're the same company) before and they sound good. Then again, I think the DSP amp setup sounds pretty good :)

Notice how they don't show the boot, bet the gun cabinets aren't there, lol

Yeah, I wondered where the boot shots were! But I thought the P38 had a walnut boot floor/picnic table rather than gun cabinets which came with the L322.
Also, on second glance - are those tray backs missing their metalwork?

Seems a little too good to be true?

Are the stock speakers receiving the whole frequency range or is there a crossover built in somewhere?

I'll go and have another go later on, hopefully it'll let me enter the location again. This time I'll leave it parked in the middle of the village and enter the correct postcode. Last night I moved to a field entrance with a perfect view of the sky but I got bored waiting for 15 minutes!

What does it do with the old disk?

I'll try but I don't think the disk was a factor. I noticed I was 220 miles away last time I looked at the SatNav too. But now I have the new disk I want it to work :)

Nope, still in North London.
Seems you can only enter the car location 3 times before it stops you from being so damn silly.

Weird! It worked a couple of weeks ago.

Hmmm, does it need 15 minutes stationary?
I'll do the procedure above and see what happens!
Thanks again :)

But my Range Rover thinks it is!
Does anyone know what I should do about the Sat Nav in The Duchess deciding that we're in NW9? I'm not sure what all the little logos mean but there's a globe and stars thing which looks to me like "I can see satellites". Or it might mean "I'm seeing stars, wibble wobble"

It's only happened recently, and it only matters now because M. L'Orange (of this parish) has sent me a spiffy new Sat Nav disk or which I'd like to take full advantage.

Cheers!

If in doubt, upgrade! :)

What should you do if your P38 floods?
Fire the Chauffeur of course!

I think you're looking at trouble either way! I don't think the P38 was ever designed to float....

Probably time to get those carpets out too :(

Well, one was HG on a Montego (!) while doing about 80 on a French motorway - that gave a small but solid looking stream of coolant smoke out from between the side of the bonnet and the driver's wing. When I looked in the mirror the clear bright French day was blotted out by an immense cloud of grey smoke.

The second time was in the Jeep when a coolant hose let go and fired the coolant straight from the water pump into the engine fan and radiator then it blew back over the exhaust manifold. That wasn't hard to spot :)

HAH, you're not kidding there :)

I've had cars dump coolant on me twice, and both times I knew it was happening. Think WW2 Destroyer and Smokescreen.

Lol, epic is word :) you should be on Roadkill with a noise like that!

One of my O2s was tightened by a gorilla and needed Marty hanging off the bottom of the car for several minutes before it shifted. I'd already wimped out after slipping the spanner off it a couple of times - I didn't want to round it.

The other one popped off just fine.
