What did you do with your Range Rover today

The fan is probably driven by the mice running on the wheel and you've taken their digs away ...

Y'know, you may have hit on something there.... I wonder if the fan could be utilised as a second alternator?

Just get the mice running fast enough, re-route the power via the BECM and et voila, a get you home bodge

Typical I go into hospital have 3 stents put in, come out and find my rdr suspension won't go up now, I just can't do it right now I will wait a few days and try looking at it then if I feel better

Take it at easy for at least ten days.

I assume they went up the femoral artery? Had a friend who tried to do too much too soon and the plug in leg burst. You bleed out PDQ.

Bl**dy immigrant mice, coming over here and displacing our mice from their homes.

The thing is I will need the car for work so have to sort it out sooner rather then later

If you were closer I would lend you the Clio. It fits in the door pocket of the Rangey

Wanted a bluetooth radio to play music from my phone easily and without problems.
Had a £15 voucher of £30 applied to an old ebay account and just had to use it.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281829070489?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Plugged straight into the classic with no alterations.
Catches the phone bluetooth as soon as i enter the car and plays any music i have running.
Has a 3" mp4 hd screen for watching videos ie a one hour vid on how to disconnect a p38 battery or a vid on the p38 spring conversion etc.
Phone handsfree as well but never used it.
Plays well and for £20 very good.
Buttons on the unit are pretty cheap and clunky but nice overall unit.
Usb, sd card and something about icrap in there as well.
Comes with faultless remote as well.

I bought a Sony CD player radio with DAB, Bluetooth, USB & aux in for my Mercedes, then it went into various motors, and now it resides in George.

Phone connects immediately, can do all the music stuff and because it's a Windows Lumia, I can even get it to speak txts to me which is handy (thanks Cortana).

I didn't realise the speakers in the RR were so damn awesome

Even though they are paper, they sound gooooooood

Me like

Just hit 180k miles (80k in the last 4 years).

I gave her a wash today ready for the weekend and bent a side step really need to fix them now maybe over the weekend. Last week I gave the golf a full service, new brakes and refurbed the wheels now feel tiny needs some tlc so ordered some ep90 for the diffs in the ecp flash sale 30% off happy days. I've done about 2000 miles in the last year and wonder do I need to service it? Oil looks clean, air filter is clean. Happy to do it but if I can spend the money elsewhere I would prefer it just looking advice normally service every 10k so 2k seem very early.

Do my oil every 5k miles but I use semi-synthetic. Air filter probably OK every 10 where you are as the rain will wash most crap out the air.

Take the side-steps off if you go off-road. They're just a liability.

10k is my everyday car so feel it's OK all decent runs engine up to temp and doing 18k+ a year. The rr is only weekend toy but still decent runs when it gets out, I don't want to wreck the engine for the value of an oil change but would rather spend it on beer.
Side steps as she is closer to a Chelsea tractor than a rock climber and the wife can't get in without them they are getting fixed. The majority of my off roading will do will be a damp campsite with a trailer on the back

Put new rubber on it.

Taking her down to Wales and back next week so we'll see what happens!

Refitted my centre box nice and quiet now The straight threw pipe was sealing to good, iv got new cats going on shortly iv heat wrapped them the same as my manifolds just need an hour spare to fit them

Replaced all the vacuum hoses on my cruise control system. . . . .. even the small one between the vacuum relay inside the pump housing, and the main actuator feed. Found one of the tabs on the brake pedal vacuum switch is broken, but managed to get it working. Replacement ordered.

Used this hose in case anyone needs some http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-...258100?hash=item51c3331df4:g:JX0AAOSwQItUDxnQ

Went to change diff oil and realised I don't have any way to get the plug out so what sized tool do I need?

There's a man who's now kicking himself and saying "I knew that square hole reminded me of something".

I did try but it's too big so either too full of cr#p or I need something smaller, I think the latter.
