@Sloth, i understand what you are saying, however am happy i can now lock the car with a dog lead in one had and dog toy in the other!!!

DOH DOH DOH DOH DOH DOH

I think I know the problem. It went away when i disconnected the battery on the Duke. Once done, the Duchess synchronised immediately. I guess they were fighting for the signal.

Must have been a nightmare setting up new cars at the dealerships!

Still having issues with remote locking.

If it’s not the latches (both front now swapped with good working ones), not the fob batteries, not the RF receiver, what else could it be?

Thanks both. I spent out on the paperback version which doesn’t include the Electronics part 🤦‍♂️

Will look over the file version.

Is there a wiring diagram knocking around? I was a bit disappointed to not find one included in the workshop manual.

Thanks

BF Goodrich ATs are very good. I’m planning a set on my Mondials when I next get to a show.

Maybe they are the transfer case serial numbers? What does this http://new.lrcat.com/#!/1234/93198/93199 tell you?

Same as the brooklands catalog really. 2 part numbers depending on serial no.

that makes more sense then. Is the serial visible on one's hands and knees?

They are transfer box parts from the proper parts catalog (I have the printed version).

Evening all, trying to order some parts and there are 2 options based on vin number. The range is to (T)003K 49770 for early and from (T)003K 49771 for later. How does that translate to a vin number?

E.g. SALLPAMJ3YA422220

Thanks

It’s an auto. Right so could be transfer or auto box seal then!! Better try to find time to whip it off.

Richard, it’s the exhaust pipe from right bank as it moves left to join rest of exhaust.

I’d put a pic on but it’s hard on a phone on this forum.

Would red be transfer box or gearbox oil?

thanks all.

This week we have a burnt oil smell after a few miles of driving. I've not long rebuilt most of the top end, which involved sump and oil pump gaskets so surprised if leaking from there.

Tiny droplet of oil on the drive after 24h, black centre, clear once it's spread out. Quite odd, i've done all the oils in the last 6 months, all are clean when dipped.

Got under it today, and noticed a droplet of red oil on the transfer box flange directly above the tee piece of the exhaust that goes under the rear of the front prop. It's dropping occasionally on the exhaust, burning off, leaving soot then when the car is parked up, next drip drops on the soot, drips around the exhaust and onto the floor black!

Anyway, got to fix it i guess. Am i looking at gearbox out?

Cheers

this sounds like my intermittent (but getting more often) fault.... watching.

Hi,

Is there a way to tell what my car left the factory as? It’s badged Vogue, and is much higher spec interior than my other 99 HSE, but the DVLA docs say HSE. Maybe a previous owner added the badge and upgraded the interior, and running strips, bumpers etc.

Head doer!!!

I’ve got a few spare latches on my breaker so will try a few combinations, and swap the RF receiver

Struggling to chase this down. Would replacing passenger door latch with another have any relation?

The latch was replaced last year with Marty’s refurb items. Maybe wiring? I noticed the obd port is dead again.

Shouldn’t be. Not been behind that panel for a while
