Wouldn't it all drop out the bottom of the boot floor?

I shall make sure the camera batteries are charged and the memory card is wiped.

It might not be a bad idea for the mag anyway as old Jags also suffer from drooping head linings and although some may argue the practical side of it they are definitely performance cars and the kind of daft financially dangerous car that a lot of the readership would buy (a bit like the P38...).

Second appearance in two months. :)

Cool, I am off work today but Monday I shall speak to the owner of said tracking gear to make sure he is happy for me to hang on to it and bring it along. It isn't the most advanced thing in the world but it works. Though you do need a flat surface as with most tracking devices.

I am interested in your modulator change as mine could do with a refresh.

I'm going to compile a list of all my Range Rovers ailments and see which if any I can look at whilst up there. Sunroof will obviously be a priority whilst the headlining is out (won't set, drains check as I have a drip after heavy rainfall).

How much under-cover space is there in case it is wet? I do have a 12'x12' ex-army tent. It's incomplete but useable and can be erected on hard standing.

There's plenty of shops in Marlborough if we get really stuck.

Hand cleaner is a good addition, considering the potential for sticky fingers.

I currently have a set of optical tracking bars on loan to me, if anyone wants to check/adjust theirs I'll ask the owner if he minds me bringing it along.

I have standard size domestic broom that I'll chuck in the back. I'll sort out my tool kit too if I get chance and bring along some electrical tools and an extension reel. (assuming you have mains power available?)

Sounds like my mug at work...

Chers for the offer of the use of the Nanocom, would be good (or could be scary) to go diving into the vehicle and see how healthy it thinks it is.

Getting closer, my P38 must be getting excited/nervous, the snag list is growing!

Marty, are you bringing your wonderful magical diagnostics test gear with you?
I have the SRS light on (only needs a reset after unplugging passenger airbag) and the HEVAC book symbol.
I would also quite like to check the EAS isn't holding any issues as it's still not right but I suspect it's down to leaking through the solenoid valves as when stood the front sinks and the lighter rear raises!

Can anyone think of anything we need to make sure we have supply of?
Waste oil drums? (I have a 20ltr drum I can bring along)
Disposable gloves?
Disposable cups etc...?

Smiler.

I've just discovered mine has this very same feature too! :)

Paid. :)

That is very decent of you, particularly considering I had my first ride home on the back of a recovery truck today!

PM on its way.

It'll be that 'cheap' £30 belt from Halfords. Maybe I should try the £7 britpart one next...

I didn't take a photo of it but there didn't appear to be much of it left, just one tangled rib. Saying that the rest could be a tangled mess hiding beneath the fan shroud.

Well I finally graduated to become a fully fledged P38 owner today. I have undergone the right of passage and got a lift home on the back of a flat-bed!

The cause of this was a failed accessories drive belt. The very belt that I replaced as a preventative measure when I first got the vehicle whilst I had the radiator out barely two months ago!

All effected pulleys and accessories have been checked and are free to rotate. Alignment looks to be correct too.

Joy!

Ferryman, that's the one!

If you do not require it would you like to trade it for some of my finest beer tokens?

Hello folks,

Does anyone have a spare one of these?

Regards,

Smiler.

You have PM :)

That guide worked, sorted.

Thanks very much. :)

This is creeping up fast now. I'm guessing we will need to finalise, order and pay soon.

Thanks for the replies. I inadvertently knocked the lid shut with my shoulder whist doing up the hinge bolts. Not that this excuses me from testing the latch first.

I shall follow the instructions in that link tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

Smiler.

Well worth it!

£1500 for a supercharged Jag V8 on emerald management with a six speed manual? I'd snap it up. Then break the rest, wheels and tyres must be worth a bit alone.
