by putting in a replacement engine it gives yoú the opportunity to use the car and troubleshoot problems with it while also having the benefit of therapy sessions in the workshop rebuilding the engine. best of both worlds.

The central locking should work normally only the alarm will go off when you open the door. Certainly does on mine. Get the EKA code from the dealer if you don't have it and input it as per the manual. That will disable the immobilizer and allow you to start the car.

I always found it easier with the V8's to put in a second hand engine. Unless there are historical issues you want to preserve the engine route is a lot less hastle and with a know running engine you will be good to go in no time.

Will the white box fit in the back of the Landy?

Well done

Can you drive a smaller socket on it or use a bolt extractor socket? If you can drive a socket on it can you add some heat?

I am very chilled most of the time however with hindsight I should have moved the trailer sooner and released the ratchet straps holding the car. Maybe even remove the car from the trailer. I certainly should have moved the wheelie bins, that may yet prove expensive.

Yes the last thing I was doing to it on Sunday afternoon.

Yes

I only had the engine and gearbox to remove. Everything else I wanted is on the other P38 fortunately. I was clearing all the fluids so I could get it scrapped. Petrol was the last thing and I am now certain that ther isn't any petrol in it,

There is one behing it my P38 and three L322's parked on the road. As soon as I realised it was out of control II moved the three L322's on to the road well away from it as they were initially parked in close proximity. My P38 is currently imobilised so I put a ratchet strap on the tow mar of the trailer and tied it to one of the L322's to move it away from causing damage to the house or anything else. Had a look at the trailer this morning and appart from the two tyres I knew about I was expecting brake cables and electrics to be burnt out. Electrics are gone but the brake cables and two tyres appear to be good. Have bought 2 tyres so once I have them on I will take the trailer and get the Range Rover scrapped then assess fully the damage to the trailer.

Thanks It is amazing how quickly it can go wrong. When working on the fuel system please all be very careful. We all know petrol is volatile but you don't realise how much so until something like this happens. I was very lucky, I had a sleepless night last night going through in my head what could have happened.

One of many. But no great loss as it was a donor. Have lost a good V8 and autobox. A bit of excitement for a Sunday evening.

Can anytell me is the tailgate from a 2009 to 2013 fits a 2005 car? I cannot see how it wouldn't

A note of caution when draining fluids from your car. The Fire Brigade put this down to a static spark around the fuel tank. Fortunately all were safe with minor damage to the house and the trailer and two written off wheelie bins. VID-20200802-WA0004[1].mp4

Daan I hope that chassis is taxed insured and Mot'd

I deal with local authorities on a daily basis and regardless of the circumstances every officer I deal with will ask for more information than the last. Even if I have had something past in the last week I can say for certain that it will still need further clarification from someone else. These people in "power" need to justify their existence, if they are not refusing things then what is the point of them being there. This is the reason that the public needs professionals who are dealing with the authorities regularly to stand up to them.

I didn't say there was but I am interested in seeing if they can get one.

It's okay i saw the funny side. But am very interested in the consensus

Not at all it is a very interesting discussion/argument about things that are very important to us but the great unwashed simply ring the car and be damned.

Argue on. I am very interested in this can of worms that I have opened up.

But a Richard's Chassis is also not "direct from the original manufacturer" it is new from a chassis manufacturer.

it depends on which part you need. My (New) TDV8 had the mounting part and the electrics fully installed. I got the removable hitch part fro PF Jones and am currently trying to sort out the pin/bolt that holds on the hitch as the nut and bolt have different threads. On the TD6 some clown had fitted a smaller bolt which allows the hitch to move up and down creating a banging. Looking forward to trying the TDV8 with one of my toys on the back which should be sometime soon.

Neil I have a TDV8 and a TD6. So far I have only used the TD6 for towing and used it to tow one of my TDV8's from Oldham to Ayr. I have to say it say a very pleasant tow and one which should be greatly inproved with the bigger V8 engine. The only issue I had were relating to the tow barwhich was badly fitted. On the drive down, solo, I was getting 21 mpg going back it went up to 24.5mpg. This I can assume was because I wasn't so heavy on the go pedal. This is my best tow car to date.

Get in touch with your local main stealer. Two local to me have provided EKA codes withiout charging. The will also have the radio code.
