sorry hit wrong button, i could hear the relay click in the cab and a fairly loud whirring on the actuator but no way could I get it to lock, tried gravel and circles no joy, so took it out and stripped the motor down, the actuator rod had correded to the alli casing and stuck fast, took some...

Morning all, new rear actuator fitted about two and a half years ago, working fine, used it probably only once last year, though I had better give it a spin,

No worries, I have just checked my box of of bits and for some reason I still have Dorman part number 800 - 994 unopened, I cant remember if I ordered too many, or its the wrong size, but if its any good to you let me know.

Hi, I used caps from a company called Dorman, had to get them from Amazon America as at the time couldn,t find them here, arrived very quickly though, I cant remember the exact sizes but I think the smaller was 1/4 and the larger was 5/16, please check though.

Many thanks

Morning all, a very odd and irritating thing has started this week, I noticed after taking the dogs out on Monday the cenral locking had engaged, thinking I had done it i never gave it tooo much thought, however same again next day and so on, I have worked out the locks activate every time I...

Morning all, seems heater matrix was the problem, mechanic flushed it and now waves of heat coming through!!

Well it could be a lot worse belive it or not!! I have a couple of mates one with a 2010 3.6 TDV8 Range Rover and one with a 2011 4.4 TDV8 Range Rover and as they are both push button start, their insurance quotes recentley was £1300 and £1700!!!

Going back in next Thursday for a proper look.

So a quick update, found the sensor,(just below drivers knee under diff lock switch) all connected and not loose, all be it fairly dusty, gave it clean, no difference, is it possible the sensor is bad? Found steepest hill I could and sat for 5 minuets on hot and no difference, drove around for...

Morning all, thanks for your replies, new thermostat when I had coolant flushed and it was just maintenance, no issues, temp gauge reads dead center, thing is now I think about it I dont ever think it was ever that hot, I will try steep hill and see if I can move any air, cabin temp sensor...

Morning all, quick question about the 100 series heater, iv recently noted although the cab gets warm after a while, even on the hottest setting the air seems to only blow warm and not hot, is this normal ? I did have coolent system flushed over the summer, I havent taken too much notice of it...

Thanks for that Tractionman, I will give them a call later.

It was a bit of a shock, clean licence, endless no claims, parked on a drive and only around 4/5 k miles a year, so on and so on, I might try an independent to see if it makes any difference.

Morning all, renewed my insurance yesterday and the cheapest I could find is nearly double last years from £230 to £430! has something happend in the insurance world ?

Hi Neil, just to get rid of the now pointless AHC control.

Have a look on IH8MUD, a few posts on there about it.

You can engage center diff lock in either hi or low range with dash button below the aerial up and down button, amber warning light should illuminate, select neutral, move H / L lever to L, center diff should engage and amber warning light shoud illminate, engage rear diff lock, ABS warning...

Hi Neil, if you have disconnected the dash AHC lights you could also take out the now defunct controls and add part number 58839 60040

I think it was a combo of flat batteries and the lock gummed up through lack of use, must admit I have never tried mine in three years until yesterday!

Update! he got in after prizing the top of the drivers open and looping a wire over the door handle, it seems that his good lady had left the headlights on, batteries totally flat, and as Tractionman suggested probably the door lock gummed up so couldn't open with the blade.

Thanks for the replies, not too sure if he's tried the key before, I doubt as no need to, so could be gummed up, I will keep you updated.

Hi Karl, he has had the motor for about two years and no problems, could be an AA job!

Yes that could be a possibility, would that stop the key from manually unlocking the door?

Ah I see, yes the battery is new and is lighting up the little LED on the fob so the battery is good, replaced I believe as the old one had run out.

Hi Karl, its the battery in the fob he has changed so the original key and fob, but now after changing the battery the fob or the key wont open the doors, totally locked out.

Evening all, friend just phoned me saying he has changed fob battery and now cant open the doors either with the fob or manually with the key, nothing turning in the lock, almost like its the wrong key, he only has one key, any of you knowledgeable folks come across this before? cheers

Thanks for your input guys, no other pics Tractionman, only the info from their website, cheers Dave I will be keeping an eye on it!

Very thorough Shayne, steam cleaned, old underseal removed, Dinitrol ML inhibitor, clear Dinitrol inside chassis box sections cavities and body panels,, then Dinitrol top coat.

I have tried to add the pictures in some sort of chronological order not very successfully, anyway pictures 4,5 and 6 are after a week and the high gloss has settled down bit!!!

Morning all, very interesting reading, I hope you dont mind me giving my twopence worth, my 100 had underseal from way before my ownership, it had started to look a bit worn, what to do? I did think about a diy job, I did my old Disco 2 with Bilt Hamber and thought I had done a reasonable job, I...

Thank you

Morning all, I am having a Dinitrol treatment done over the weekend, I have noticed a slight misting on the rear diff where the prop joins the axle, looking on the internet it looks very much like the pinion seal, I have a new one from Toyota and have spoken to the man at CSK, he is quite happy...

Try Amayama, Tilt 8923160021 Slide 8923260021, I believe they are a pain to change so used would be a no no.

Ah ok, not wanting to sound stupid but is that the power heater that is switched from the dash?

Can I ask what it does, and as above what is the point of disconnecting it?

You are going to have some serious fun getting that out! As you can see there are four bolts holding it in on the side, the top rear is a t##t to get to, if you cut the heads of the bolts the remaining studs do come out, (well did on mine) Millners are best price for a new locker just under £500...
