I've given up hope of seeing my in-laws ---- tbh that's not actually a bad thing What I don't understand as many of you are the same------ the tier system is rubbish ---- if people used common sense then this tier system wouldn't be needed ----- That's simple However many these days don't think for themselves they go by Facebook Twitter ect ---- I found having a P38 & discovery 1 is a good way to isolate your self ----- plenty to do 👍 Anyway All just remember things could be worse ---- just try to keep positive

Just wanted to wish all of you and your loved ones a merry Christmas especially as this year has been a challenge to say the least

The hard bit is my right hand out of action and trying left hand instead ---- don't put fingers in way when replacing a cylinder head ---- maybe tomorrow get my brother to help me he not interested in cars BUT he got both hands working

Had heater matrix o rings let go on vogue spent all day trying to get to it ---- after 8 hours still can't get it so seriously thinking of pulling the engine and scrapping it now I can't be taking whole dash out of the thing

My vogue had same issue of wet load area ---- it was the tailgate seal ---- same for most p38s ---- put sealant into jaw part of seal then the fit seal ---- that should cure problem

Went to get center cap for vogue wheel and got a range rover classic bull bar to fit my 300tdi as well

Me got 1 on vogue ----- black HSE don't mind you it won't have roof n back soon either --- making a 2 door pick up

Busy day today ---- put heavy duty links on rear roll bar on vogue Then rear seals on 300tdi Then took drivers door of consul MK2 for reskin tomorrow & then can get back to 4.6 HSE body strip

Rear roll bar link change today and tear wheel bearings on 300tdi while at it

I had a 1973 96 v4 that had column change and had to be in reverse to remove key also had freewheel so could drive it like the 2 strokes ---- great car

Bloke did that at a car meet in his triumph stag ---- load of guys all stood around it guessing things like starter solenoid wiring etc etc I walked up to it got in put it in park n started it up ---- bloke bought me a burger for that 😊

Other problems with V8 left standing is oil seep on valve stems and sticking hydraulic lifters either can do emissions ----- I do hope it just oxygen sensors though

My vogue kept having was fault --- it was plug connector by pump ---- ended up redoing the wires with another connector block 🙄 real pain but problem gone ----- always seems to get problems in the dark or rain or cold never ona nice sunny day ----- such is life

As title says ---- this is a mates DSE My suggestion of bin it and get a V8 didn't go well ---- it's a BMW engine and I don't like them having blown 6 m57 derived versions ---- might be good in cars but crap in marine use ---- Toyota far better So any suggestions would be great help to mark and his DSE

That's someone who wants to autograph everything they can ---- Or just jealous --- that's envy for you Stangerover

Hi Paul welcome I got td5 commercials at work --- yep don't like them But got a discovery 1 300 TDI 7 seater and I love it's simplicity no ECUs to mess up electric stuff is lights wipers horn ----- classic insurance too But my vogue is better yet worth less ,!? Wired that

Took vogue for mot PASS
1 advisory ---- near side front roll bar link bit worn
Ordered 2x heavy duty links arrive Monday

That's what happens ---- I blame these car shows on TV were they go on about how bought cheap /did it up / sold for huge profit ------ mate of mine got 3door classic I'm helping to restore in new year

I'd guess it's gearbox as when in drive it crawls ---- maybe filter getting clogged when left standing and once warmed up crud on filter moves allowing oil flow ---- that's just my opinion on issue

My vogue was showing revs on cranking but no spark when engine heated up ---- also when started from cold would hesitate then revs would even out then ---- stop and no start after that ----- new crankshaft position sensor job done -----but my omega had LPG and every so often had to squirt carb cleaner spray into main gas line to injectors to clean up the waxy deposit left by LPG
