One work David - BRILLIANT.

What a fantastic achievement and you deserve to feel 'pleased' - understatement of the year . It gives all us IT geeks a good name when you do something as clever as this Once again, well done Gavin

Thanks guys

Few bits and pieces to finish buttoning it back up now then need to sort the mounts for the compressor in the boot now the LPG tank has been removed and she’s ready to come out of the workshop. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

I’ve been chasing a suspension fault today.

The car was showing an error code saying that it couldn’t vent pressure.

Click image to enlarge

I started by telling the IID tool to depressurise the 4 corners and then releasing the unions on the pipes to figure out where it was venting to. Turns out the solenoid on the bottom of the pump just needed a love tap from a spanner. Once I’d tapped this we got a load of air out and the car started to sink.

After it was repressurised the suspension has been working perfectly since.

The pillar covers on the drivers and passengers front door have been annoying me since I got this car too. I’d got 2 new ones to swap them out but seeing as I’d had the battery disconnected for so long I’d not been able to put the window down to get to the screws so today I swapped them out.

Here’s an old v new picture.

After I’d done that, I moved a couple of cars that live in front of the ramp and for the first time in 6 months my Range Rover saw daylight.

Purely by chance, today marks 6 months to the day since the Range Rover went into the workshop. Sunday 13th February…

We then had a very quick run up the private road the farm is on listening for any funny noises. No funny noises, knocks, bangs of noises from the drivetrain that I could hear. However, you can’t really get about 20-30mph so not a great test. The temperature gauge stayed perfectly where it needed to be, the gear change was smooth and that engine is silky smooth.

It’s definitely a Supercharged one though…

As I was sat in it on the driveway with it idling this evening you couldn’t tell it was running. It was totally silent and you couldn’t feel a thing as it was idling. Exactly what I love about the 4.2 Petrol. It’s a much smoother and quieter engine then the 5.0 Supercharged in my XFR.

So… for the first time in 6 months, she’s turned a wheel and seen daylight!

This is an Arnott compressor that runs on the AMK firmware.

It’s an eBay purchase but the date stamp on the compressor is recent so hoping it’ll do for a while. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather
