What part of London you based in mate.

Most of that all looks pretty simple stuff tbh but if you need a hand I'm in the east side of London.

You can get the side boards for around £150 for a copy. Before you fit them cover them up in wax oil or something so that will protect it.

Thanks mate. I'm actually moved out of London temporarily. I am in Tipperary in the Republic of Ireland at the moment due to Covid since November, but will back in the UK in the new year. Location TBD

Oooh that's interesting got a link to those side boards?

Ahhhh fair enough mate. Covid is a horrible disease too catch that's for sure. I had a stint in intensive care with it.


That's the ones I bought. Fitted pretty decent on mine.

Oh they do look nice.

How does they work our with the OE front mud guards?

Got any pics of yours ?

I'll get you some tomorrow but I left the original mud guards on and they fitted straight into it

Perfect thanks.

Oh I forgot to thank you for the offer of help with mine.. thats very kind.

Maybe some time I'll take you up on it

What are the symptoms of your frozen radio? Is it just the LR Logo you're getting on the screen?

All of the electrics reside in the left hand side rear quarter. it's fairly common for the bluetooth module to get wet and when it packs in the whole system goes down as they're linked by the fibre optic network in the car.

As a very crude test you can remove (carefully) the fibres from the clip, get a BIC biro and cut the tube down and then put one fibre in each end to test it. It's not fool proof but can work, the other option you've got is to buy a loopback plug for it and bypass it.

If you want to go back to the standard look, I had 3 Supercharged alloys that I'm selling just now in the For Sale section. You'd need a 4th one but I'm not looking for a lot for them and would probably do a deal for the 3.

If you’ve got a Land Rover logo and a flashing amber light it definitely sounds like one module is dragging the system down.

... but how does something like this happen?

I mean I just disconnected the battery..

Welcome to Range Rover ownership I guess.. lol.

I'm getting IID at the weekend.. so between that and the battery trick hopefully it will work out.

If one of the modules ain't firing properly it won't complete the circuit so it won't fire up properly.

Think of it if your car was only running on 7 cylinders instead of 8, its not the full ticket (a bit like most of my colleagues)

Haha and a bit like me at times too maybe... like that time I agreed to buy a faulty L322 without even seeing it... err LOL!!

But yea, agreed. I need to figure it out. Be grand

Well you said it buy don't knock it mate. I done the same. All I see was the photos on ebay. Sometimes it works out some times it don't.

Anyways

Photos of the side steps

Awesome thank you.

I think i'll go with them if I can sort logistics. eBays shipping program doesn't exclude VAT when shipping outside England. As I am currently stuck in Ireland, I will get double taxes on import.

At least I know they are available now and I can seek them out later.

Loving that Impreza in the BG there (And trailer too..) Is that a track toy, or do you compete? I'm currently rebuilding my 172 Cup for track, from scratch .. here if interested..

If probably just hold on till your back here mate before you order them. Like you say you'll only have too pay the import tax.

Yea that's the project car. Had the car 5 years now and was doing well with rebuilding it till the ex stopped that happening. Hopefully next year it will be done year and ready to go round the nurburgring. It's going too be a fast road car that's also a weapon on the track as its having a 500bhp engine built.

I'll have a read of that clio blog mate

Yea, I think i'll hold out alright.

Sorry to hear the project had to stop.. I bet you can't wait to finish it off.. should be great fun when up and running!

Quick update..

Yesterday I received the GAP IID from a friend, which is great. I managed to run a scan, results below.

When I went to car today, it was dead. So connected up a pack, started fine - and to my surprise the radio was back working - here's hoping all electrical fixes are that easy LMAO!!

I had a quick run around the car with handbrake on and car in Reverse... Turns out 3 of the rear PDC sensors are gone (No clicking), where as all the others clicked. I also actually noticed the same corned with the faulty sensors got paint .. I could see the tape lines in the bumper gaps. I wonder is that a coincidence.. loose connections or something? Will need to get bumper off and investigate.

I also had a look at the spare wheel (Factory L322 Supercharged) and it's got a 275 wide tyre. Factory size is 250, and i'm wondering if 275 is ok on that. I am planning on buying the 3 wheels that dhallworth has for sale and moving over the wheels from the existing Sport wheels on the car.. If they are a safe fit, that could be a fairly decent set of events
