Oh wow , surprised it ever worked , assume u would have to code it unless the gearboxes module is the master so to speak , will be interesting to see if a second hand one is plug and play , will find out once another one is plugged in, plse let...

Yes mate always suprising here in Norfolk, have seen some blogs/information says code some says re-learn we'll see, was the actuator, your right about timer, try letting just epoxy soak into the foam before applying microfiber or filler to the...

Few pictures for you l/h bearings 170k discovery r/h is 100kish but not 100%, to be honest, the green is a coating worn through as you can see, also look at the edges you can see an equal marking to prove they were fitted centrally, well almost...

That’s great news mate , would never have guessed a fuel rail pressure sensor in a million years So pleased for u that you’ve managed to resolve the issues my friend , hats off to u

Me neither Lol on that day I re-bled the brakes using the ap200, then checked codes and decided to replace the pressure sensor as was getting intermittent pressure codes and ecm fault, changed for a OEM one I had don't think the one fitted was...

It very much depends what age of vehicle you're considering, for your usage I'd say petrol is the best option, they are nice to drive and handle poor road conditions better than most vehicles of a similar size and target market. If I were...
