  1. Eh, I'm a bit lost why I was directed to Fridge freezer's post?
  2. Tried in the wanted section, hoping for more joy in here. It seems cosy in here ? Looking for relay for the front heated screen on my RRC. PRC6796. Can't see any on the auction site. Anyone got a donor car that would have one?
  3. Thanks cwazy, I'll look into it more over the weekend as I'm off until Tuesday which is rare
  4. Would this be the relay in the footwell? There's a definite "clicking" sound from under the dash when the screen goes on or off.
  5. Expensive is a swear word in this house.....
  6. I think number 8 in the bottom right pic is suspect?
  7. Cheers Snagger !! Hall being plastered this weekend and painting to be done for her indoors, so I'll get onto it next weekend.
  8. It's a 92 Snagger..... It's either under the steering column or drivers footwell under the bonnet release. There seems to be two.
  9. Thanks Paul, I'm not entirely sure where the relay is on the RRC for the front heated screen. Any ideas?
  10. Hello guys and gals, haven't posted in a while but just after the RRC gets another fresh MOT, the front heated screen keeps switching itself on. Once I turn it off it comes back on randomly. I've had the switch out and disconnected it, but the heated screen still comes on even with the switch off. Any thoughts? Doing my nut in ??
  11. 265/75/16 DrRob....... They are phenomenal ...... Doot doo do doo do.........
  12. And one of thee most stunning views I know of Homeward bound
  13. Well all went well and the "clicking" has gone. Not sure if it was due to having barely no EP90 in it or grease, but its done the trick. Will still order the parts and get the CV's done ASAP. Here's a few sample pics of the weekend.
  14. VC checked out doing the simple test. Now filled with fresh one shot grease on both sides. Will not apply power (much) on full turn. Good amount of tools and axle stands I have (if not it'll give an excuse to put in my Xmas order) So I have the camera at the ready
  15. Ideally if I had more time and feeling a bit more confident I would. As my good mechanic can't squeeze me in before the drive, he told me to load it with one shot and do it as soon as you get back before heading out again. I am praying this will be ok? Took it out after loading it up with one shot and it is quieter. I am very tempted to order the CV and gaskets needed and do this one side before I go. I've got this weekend.
  16. Viscous good thanks for tip Grease monkey says "sounds very dry" Took some pics and the one that's clicking was almost bone dry. In one of the pics you can see condensation on the swivel housing.
  17. Lunch break and time to reply, Thanks for the info guys, will try source where to get the CV's and gaskets and shipped pronto sharp!! 12 days to get this done..... I've got bearing grease, one shot, locking washers and I'm sure a hub seal too in my spares. Do I need RTV? (just order it with CV's?) ABS sensors scare me so I'll be very carefull round about that. As this is the first drive and I REALLY don't want to miss it, I'm worried that due to time I might struggle. If I were to make sure it's got plenty of one shot, would I be able to get through the drive (two days) or would this cause even more damage? Thanks again, need to run as my Learners are wanting their driving lessons ;-)
  18. Nuts !! (For want of a better word) CV's easily enough to replace? I've had a look through the manuals, "Les" does a write up for replacing the full swivel (challis), but I can't remember seeing CV's being referred to. Not got time just now to search the tinternet, I seen CV's on JGS4x4 at £27 each. Do I need any seals/gaskets? Sorry never done CV's before Thanks for the comments so far.
  19. Before resorting to my local grease monkey, and after checking bearings, I thought I would post here to see what your thoughts are. RRC 1992 Auto V8. Has just, in the last few weeks started clicking clunking from the front wheels when I emerge from the drive or anywhere else when i turn left or right. It doesn't seem to do it when straight. Wheel bearings ok..... Loose brake pad on drivers side sorted after discovering a sticky piston (well hopefully sorted) so now after two and a half years of not being allowed in our forests, we are allowed with supervision, back in..... I have 12 days to sort this. :-( Rang my good grease monkey and he reckons it could be wear in the swivel? I have noticed a very small leak of EP90 from the seal at the swivel and was thinking to replace with one shot.... Don't think we've ever had 2 weeks of 30 degree heat in Scotland so was thinking this may thin everything down and leaked more than norm? Help is appreciated guys!
  20. Thanks again to this forum for the invaluable info ....... Having read a few threads I rang footman James direct, they called me back with an original quote of £313 I explained performance direct offered £276 ( this had shot up nearly £100 in the space of two years with no claims etc)...... they called back again and offered £230 Then when PD found out theirs went down to £238 !! So when I rang FJ back, they explained that their policy was with breakdown cover, legal expenses, and FULLY COMP, I snatched their hand off at 2pm today lol :) £230 ain't too bad fully comp with all my mods on it
  21. Don't know if this will help but good source for future jobs etc...... http://www.landroverresource.com/docs/rangerover/Range_Rover_Manual_1992.pdf
  22. 91 I think was right on the change over with models, I had an older unit that I acquired from a mate. I'm sure it's still in the garage somewhere, so I can have a look if you still need the info and give you an idea of where your looking
