Try a search, one member bought a cheap bit of kit which he uses to reset his fuel trims. trying to remember who it was, think he was Lincolnshire based so no help to you.

What has happened to your car. Try & be specific & we may be able to shed some light on it for you.
right rick it all started with the alternator throwing its hand in like l said the wife drove it till it stopped traction control lights on alternator light on etc. so l drove it home with the jump start pack on diagnosed the alternator was up the creek fitted new one charged battery ok. went out in it on the day after popping back running like a bag of spanners checked for fault codes with my elm bluetooth jus one saying misfire so removed plugs fitted new and leads still same. did auto set up on gas took it a run of about 70 mile on petrol almost right but not if u know what l mean so . this morning ive took the plung and took it to our local indy land rover specialist who put it in test book and another diagnostic hey presto no dtc,s so he restet the fuel trims and said try it foe a day or 2 on petrol to get the ecu to learn all the driving conditions on way home it seems a different motor now so we wait to see the t4 said no misfires and lambas ok so u have it

With the very greatest of respect, if you and the missus are going through a life changing moment with her illness, I would advocate getting a reliable run-around that is almost guaranteed to start and get you both to the hospital/doctors at a moments notice....the last thing you will want is to worry about if the car will get you there or start when you need it.....

Nothing wrong with the P38 diesel. It's shite maintenance run it til it drops owners that are the problem. Much the same with the petrol models.
pmsl wammers yep must admit shes not badly maintained oil change twice a year ( only do about 8000 a year) plugs at same time maybe needs set of leads they have been on 15 months so shes not neglected l dont think. main thing is she looks the part and l wouldnt have a jap realy the last one l had a shotgun was s**t realy but every man to his own u keeping ok pal havent heard keith on for a bit ill b keeping my head down will b back and forth to chorley with the boss when she ha here op all the best

I was not suggesting that you are a bad owner. But the culmination of problems associated with these cars that you have to work through when you get one, is usually down to that type of owner. And of course some rip off garages who don't have a bloody clue what they are doing. Even a properly maintained Trabant will be reasonably trouble free. All the best to your missus hope she pulls through it. Tell her chin up.

There was a great disaster in Longridge in the fifties. There was a pig put on the Stonebridge wall so that the locals would know it was Sunday. One Sunday it fell off and everybody went to work.
