I used to have xenon, but was always being flashed by oncoming cars, I swapped to the powerfuluk bulbs, best thing I ever did, never been flashed and I can see where I’m going..
Come back to it tomorrow, or cup of tea then back to it, your getting very adventurous these days🤣😂

My 4.6thor has started to rev high on start up and is very slow to drop down revs when driving. Only thing obvious is the throttle body is weeping coolant slightly. Could this be the problem? If it is should I just replace throttle body heater or entire assembly? (I do have a complete spare car for parts)
Throttle body gaskets or the whole plate are readily available, how’s the H&H coming along..
As for high tick over, first thing I’d clean is ACV
Isn’t there a joint under the front inner arch, it’s normally a lot further back that goes kaput
I left them out of mine, that was 6 yrs ago and the rads still there I hope 🤣😂

Just had a look under the Ascot. It appears to have had a sidestep on the passenger side at some time in the past and the brackets are still there. Not only are they there but are far better than any that I've seen pictures of. Rear one has obviously been clouted against something but if they were in the same state as the others pictured, would have just crumbled away. They're yours if you want them Chris.
Thanks Richard, would appreciate that, no rush, I’ve just ordered the tubing so got to clean off the old step plates and see how the other brackets are,, there’s not much left of one of them, as it’s still attached to the step in my garage, not much box section either to be honest, but being 6’4” I’ve never used them,,

Hi, I looked for new chassis brackets when the passenger side step just dropped off the car when I went to step on it. I found the following:
P38 range rover Original Side Step Running board Mounting Brackets.
The listing says that it is the last one if it still available.
My problem was that the box section mounting arm from the side step itself had rusted through and then broke off. I just bought new box section steel and welded in new mounting arms. The chassis brackets on my car are in good condition, but I did drill right through the brackets and fix the side steps back on with 10mm stainless steel bolts.
Pierre3.
Most probably the better way to fix them,, I’ve ordered new box section, will have a play when I feel upto it

Using 'box section' steel bolted through works well too; Some of the 'Captive Nuts' on the brackets seriously 'resisted removal' though - in spite of liberal applications of Rust Remover etc. Yes Chris, angle grinders/drills are much more effective than spanners with this job !
So far it’s only one bracket, but I haven’t been under and examined the others yet, must admit I like the look without the steps, i don’t use them, at 6’4” I just slide in to the seat

Ages ago I drew out the sidestep brackets for an American(?) forumite on the dark side who wanted to make some custom sidesteps.
PM me if you'd like a pdf copy of the drawings.

Thanks for the offer, but I’m not in a position to be making anything, my arthritis is kicking my arse 🤣😂
Cheers Richard, I found a guy selling them, £70,, if that’s the case 2 bits of angle iron and I’ll drill through.
So I came out to find one of my steps dropped to the floor at the front end, obviously over the years the box section had corroded, but it was the bracket that bolts to the chassis that had given way, a bad design in my eyes, the dirt just sits in them.
I’m replacing the box section steel as the full plate under the step is near on perfect, anyone know where I can get the brackets that bolt to the chassis, otherwise I’ll redesign and make with the brackets welded to steps and I’ll drill and bolt through the chassis
Post a video of the noise, will help a lot
I was gonna say the dishwasher, a well remembered ex member used to wait for his missus to go out and clean all the parts he wanted 😂🤣😂

Actually gonna start on mine tomorrow, it’s about time, been over a year since I touched it

Looks good but states 'engine damage' in the ad: Can anyone recall the details of that ?
Most probably head gaskets, I love these salvage yards, the amount of p38s I see they can’t start after disconnecting the battery 😂🤣
My nano is unlocked to motronic and edc, it’s just sitting in the cupboard if anyone needs to borrow it,, just drop me a pm

I’ve never had any problems with eBay cases, I knock the roll pin out and after a little filing the original blade goes in, I must be buying the half decent ones, lol
