It could be the Torque converter the stator within the converter uses an overrun mechanism with a series of clutches, when they start to deteriorate they, can cause a rattling/chirping noise.

Being in the box would explain the "". Won't do it free revving, will happily do it when accelerating or loading up the gearbox foot on brake when hot."

I painted mine LR Java Black and they look great..

so long as you're a dab hand with the spray cans and wetsand

I'm not even sure about the Vogue, I'll have a proper look at my mates next time I'm round there.

My Vogue seems to be real leather on the front and arm rests. The sides and backs look to be the fake stuff - I can see the fabric backing where one of the seats has been nicked by something :(

The leather on the steering wheel is real (I can tell because it's heavily worn and it's not got fabric backing) and the leather on the centre console and door cards seems to be real too. Not sure about the knee panel under the steering wheel.

No idea if the real leather Connolly and no idea how to tell.

Tl3 and TL4 are the model designations in the factory for the trim.

TL3 is HSE
TL4 is Vogue and Vogue SE.

My seats are 100% found that out after the stitching in the back came apart, luckily i'm a dab hand with the needle and thread!!

Hp laptop with windows 10..

As for the chip, i have no idea Richard, is there a right and a wrong?

Cheers Richard...

Didn't seem to do anything

EAS software doesn't give me the "good idle"

and it keeps flickering green and red...

The car is also sitting pissed again, and i can't adjust it!!

piece of shyte.

The HSE and Vogue have it as standard, the Oxford leather option is connolly also...

The Armrests are PVC on the DSE - SE - and Base these have the cheaper leather...

you can also tell by the seat backs..

TL3 TL4 and special editions all used connolly.

The seal around the glass i'd have my money on!!

Or water has comehow come through the boot on the back where the bulb comes through..

You could try separating the glass and resealing it?

You can repaint the reflector with chrome effect paint, atleast thats what i did with my Dads old V70 and it worked..

Having to work on both of them requires some good flexability and a sense of balance...

So eh?

Was he right Richard?!

Could coin that as a new position for that fangled book on how to bend in certain positions during sex...

LOL

If her box is that loose "fnarr" then that is probably the issue..

The P38 was the last car to use Connolly leather...

Great stuff, mine is ruined though!!

I use Autofinesse products on mine..

You got a few cars David

I really like the XM!!

Used her to move a few Lawn tractor engines between home and my unit..

Short journey 4mi each way, also threw some petrol in it as the LPG is cutting out randomly, which can be a pain in the bawbag..

Averaged this..

Considering I was giving her some welly i'd say that wasn't too bad, stupid autobox insists on changing gear at silly low rpm even when the go go pedal is most of the way to the floor..

Threw it in S and gave it the boot, much better!!

Always wanted a matching pair of LR's.

I had the choice of a MC blue D2, but it was a V8 and i couldn't justify the 16mpg thirst without LPG..

In retrospect, i should of bought it, as just after i bought the diesel one the company i worked for gave me the sack!!! LOL

My TD5 towed/tows very well only issue is on the Auto the TQ stall is 2800rpm so it's revving the balls off itself almost all the time!!

My Dad had an XJ Morat..

I remember them being a great car - S568KNK - Dead now i think, twas a funky shade of purple..

I use this thread to introduce the other Money pit in my life ;)

My beloved MY1999 Land Rover discovery II TD5..

Bought in December 2018 as an early Christmas present to myself she was/is truly mint!!

Built in 1999 painted in Blenheim silver metallic with the offroad pack..

Bought with 177k and now on 185k it is a great thing to drive, and everything works...

I even bought it from a dealer a hundred yards away from her supplying dealer in Droitwich..
It was a great car to drive to and from Droitwich "where i was working" at the time 60mi there and back.

In the few months i had her an Alive stage II map and Turbo were fitted along with a few other things stock these things usually put out 136hp and 310nm with the map it takes it up to 170'ish HP and 390nm and she does go very well...

With her on the road i struggled to justify putting the P38 on the road..

However when leaving my workplaces carpark i decided to giver her some hoof and the flexplate shattered!!

so..

P38 back on the road and the TD5 lies in wait...

Anyway Lockdown blabbering on!!

I'm board! lol

I'm gonna drop the autobox off next week "hopefully"

Anyone else LOL

Just wondering..

Have been dragging a Unimog around with mine, close to 10t IIRC...

Low range 1st - The Morse chain in the T/box is loving life....

These cars do have muscle...

Any road going loads?

How do they tow at speed near the limit?

I've disconnected it..

AND!

Battery is fully charged, no drain!!

I think you've hit the nail RomanRob!

A fast idle stick can work wonders LOL
