Land Rover LR3 V8 Project (Part 8) "It's All Coming Together!"

During our first successful test drive, we noticed the windshield washer sprayers were not spraying properly. We begin to fill up the washer reservoir and it starts leaking. So we remove the grille, front headlights, fender flares, wheel well moldings and front bumper so we can remove the reservoir tank and we find where it's leaking. After cleaning the tank really well, we use some plastic bond epoxy to seal up where it's leaking. After testing it for leaks, we reinstall it and find the nozzles are plugged. We use a dental pick and air pressure to clear the nozzles out. Now we have working windshield washers. Next, after some research we find out that we should have reset the learned parameters after repacing the Mass Air Flow sensor. After we reset those, the check engine light has remained off and the LR3 runs great. We've put on a couple hundred miles on the LR3 which no issues other than the transmission. We have an error code for a shift solenoid for 3rd & 4th gear. The shift solenoids are on back order from ZF, so once those are available we'll dig into the transmission. But the LR3 is still driveable. We then figure out why the traction control didn't seem to be working and the engine seemed to lack power. It was actually shifting to 2nd and/or 3rd gear. Once we put it in manual mode and 1st gear, everything worked as expected. I wonder if this is related to the other shifting problems in the transmission.
We are ready for our first Land Roving trail ride, maybe this weekend!
