How strange, it started working again yesterday.

I won’t question it, but will think of some replacement for the future.

Will have a look. What is DSP?

All modes.

I have the original head unit in my 2001 P38.
It is hooked up to a parrot hands-free kit and works very well. I am able to playback music through the parrot as well as using it as a hands-free.
As of a couple of days ago, switch on the radio and nothing. Occasionally I will get a thump, thump from the rear bass speaker, but nothing else.

Any ideas?

It is being cheeky now. Still haven’t used it as have been recovering from Covid and the suspension is still right up! Definitely feminine…..

A couple of days have passed. I haven't used the car, weather has been very cold and it is still up!

No logic there, (must be feminine...).

Had to go out earlier.

After a -4 night, car was slightly down and took 6 seconds to achieve ride height.

Parked in town for half an hour, came back to the car and car hadn't dropped at all.

Will run a check later, (probably) but inclined to leave for a bit....

Okay, will brave the cold later!

Thanks for replying.

It’s been pretty cold at the moment in Surrey, -4 atm.

Where about will the system be leaking from?

I will check the heights with the Nanocom tomorrow.

Are you saying that the ride height sensors may be okay and that the faults logged may be spurious?

I converted my P38 back to EAS about 3-4 years ago. I renewed all the seals on the pump and valve block as well.

All has been reasonably OK, the odd hiccup when it decides to take 2-3 minutes of driving before it raises the suspension to standard ride height.

Yesterday, it started low, I drove it carefully for about 15 mins and it remained low. returned home and swapped cars, damn!

When car occasionally settles low, it does evenly.

I plugged the Nanocom in to check. Came up with invalid fault plus front L/H & R/H height sensors are out of range. Reset and used the car today, no problems apart from a 5 minute stop after about 20 miles when the car must of settled and on restart took about 1/2 mile to achieve normal level...

I know it is impossible to say but does that point to the sensors being faulty and need replacing?

I've just noticed that Rimmer Bros do a mild steel pair for about £115.00 + VAT.

Are these any good? I know that some aftermarket parts leave a little to be desired!

Actually the pipe has disintegrated where it enters the offside rear box. Run back from Heathrow this morning, I detected a rise in volume which was out of character!

Can this one box be replaced on its own or is it recommended to renew the pair?

Looks like a minefield on Ebay so would be happy to accept any recommendations.

Split found, cruise working perfectly again.

Thanks guys!

The Land Rover price given was from the main dealership, lookers I believe in Guildford.

The one that I am going to is in Sussex, Haywards Heath. No idea of the make but apparently he is well known in the Land Rover circles.

Spoke to Land Rover. Only £516.00!!!!!!!

I got details of a guy in Haywards Heath who will do a key for £100.00, brilliant!

Thanks guys.....

PM me if anyone wants his number.

Thanks for the part number.

I will give that a go first.

I have just discovered that the rubber twin button press thingy on my fob has gone missing!

I noticed that you can buy these separately, (Amazon etc).

Two questions please.

Is there a recommended supplier of these?

Next step, obtain a spare key fob. What is the best way to go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. I will be onto that tomorrow.

Excellent if it is as easy as that.

Cheers.

Only a minor problem with my cruise control on my 2001 4.6.

Cruise control is working but if for instance I set it at 50 mph it slowly drops down three or four mph and usually stays there occasionally going up one or two mph.

When I got the car this was always stable.

Is there anything that can be done or is this just a little annoying?
