TDV8 4.4 - The Joy of Ownership

I need to start reassembling the old girl following Dinitrol treatment at South West Rust Proofing, but first:

1.) Fix the headlight power wash
2.) Glue the loose parking sensor holder back in place
3.) Stop the front break squeal
4.) Replace the break pad wear sensor

I honestly don’t know how I’d fill my days without her !

How much do they charge these days...? Pete

Pete, I paid £400 +vat eight years ago, which I thought was a bit expensive, but as a long term investment for a car I always intend to keep , worth every penny.

I think it would probably be an even wiser investment for anyone with a late model L405 they intend to keep, considering the many reports of corrosion on all the pipework and the effect of road salt on aluminium.

I think my pad squeal was due to an inverse orientation of the anti vibration spring…. Not tested yet but when I went to refit the pad springs, following the orientation that they were when I took them off, I noticed they fouled the wear sensor ( which was probably why it was broken ). With them inverted they clear the wear sensor and I notice that the spring “shoulders” support the top of the pads.

Good tip on the orientation of the spring. Mine squeal, and need new pins due to some previous gorilla battering the end into a mushroom Censored
But will take a look.

That being said, I am looking at getting my breaks serviced and coated. I found these guys as an alternative (https://www.bcs-automotive.co.uk/) which may be worth considering. No idea how they compare, but do appear to have more paint options.
I think their turn around was quicker too, but maybe wrong (it was a while back I enquired) Currently driving: 2012 L322 SE Overfinch 4.4 tdv8

R&G did a great job, the gearbox is noticeably smoother.

The contact is Dave Gregory ; https://www.randgautocare.com/ I rang on Monday and he fitted me in on Friday the same week. £ Very reasonable …. I was quoted twice as much from a place near Gatwick.

It takes some patience to find though as it was tucked down an alleyway. TDV8 4.4 2012

A few cosmetic up grades :

New front seat arm adjusters, And an update of the H/L braked light to the smoked version.

I have a remote parking heater fob and an IID tool in the post so looking forward to configuring those next weekend.
