Back in! Finally

[Takson]

So I Finally tracked the forum down again. I did briefly earlier this year, but couldn't get in and then had trouble finding it again.

It is great to be back and seeing decent banter and advice flowing. I have bought an old P38 Range Rover to play around in (Sold the war departments Zafira instead. The X had to stay) and joined a Landrover forum too, for WHEN it goes wrong. It is a rude and pretty unfriendly place, so it has become a read for advice forum only for me.

so, 35k miles later, I still have the X and like it more than ever. I had it chipped about 18 months ago, other than that, it has been tyres, fuel and a bit of servicing.

I can tell it has been a while as there are a couple of bings and beeps when I start up, which I would have no doubt been shamed into fixing if I was visiting the forum regularly. SWIMBO now uses it more when I am in the trundle bus, so the nagging about the noises has now taken over from the warning beeps themselves.

So two questions:

1. What is the correct code for a replacement bulb for the angel eyes? (Halfords lighting department fitment charts give you the wrong one.)

2. I need a new front left parking sensor. What is the cheapest and best place to find one?

Wecome back............Sorry havent got Angel eyes & not had to change a PDC so cant advise without trawling & claiming advice as my own.

ok, so I found the parts in the end. I will post part number when I'm back in blighty, but can safely say it is one of the more expensive bulbs I've found for such a small one.

It is actually the whole unit as one, rather than just a bulb. about £22.

Parking sensor was about £60 and I treated the old girl to a couple of bottles of genuine washer fluid for good measure.

Welcome back as for the parking sensor the best place to buy one is from the dealer....the cheapest is fleabay.....you decide

Ive had a couple of fleabay cheap and they have been fine but as you know it's a lottery.

For £22, you could have had my spare angel eye bulb as I replaced mine with LEDs
