What did you do with your Range Rover today

So today, having a day off I thought I'd clean up the DSE and get it ready to take piccies for fleabay, ( need funds to start on the new one..). In three years it had never so much as missed a beat. TODAY..!!
KEY CODE LOCKOUT.
Remote stopped working, EKA won't go in, CL stopped. Just great..!!
Don't tell me they don't know what we're up to.. just waiting for their moment.

You have entered the wrong EKA code three times. Enter it, if you don't succeed on the first two attempts, open and close the drivers door for two more attempts. And you will not get key code lock out. I have lost count of the times i have said this on here and nobody seems to take any notice.

Stop it.. I'm feeling bad enough already. Up to me they would both stay, but trying to put a brave face on it.

You migh be Suffering a little separation anxiety after it’s gone

Can't believe your getting rid. It's only a wiper

Bet you not even spotted what's wrong with the door pins.

End of an era

I tell people about the open/close door wamms, learnt it off you but never needed myself. Only had immobilised on dash once. Locked/unlocked with key and it went off

I was quoted £80 for a re gas for the air/con, now I know gas has gone up, and they want you to change the gas you use, but thats a stupid price

I do my own, cost me about £30.00 for R134a gas a couple of years ago, have some left for top ups. But gas has gone up to a ridiculous level. It will be because of these man made global warming idiots no doubt.

I was thinking to do my own, but the cost is almost the same

I have all the gear to change or refill aircon. So all i need is the gas.

I did mine last week and now it's working it squeals like a stuffed pig, had to turn the bloody thing off.

Its an oil they add with the gas, it lubricates the inerds and keeps the seals supple

Oh that stuff. maybe but it sounds more like the belt slipping to me. It seems to stop once the engine gets to around 2k rpm.

You can tighten your belt a little on the tensioner adjustment. Pop the cap off with 2svrewdrivers, spanner to untighten, Allen key to adjust tension then nip up with spanner while holding Allen key.

Datatek says belt dressing may work temporarily if belt is half decent. They are only £7 odd or you can take it off

cheers for the info. I'll have a go this weekend.

Gave it a good clean today. Hides the crumples well


Couldn't find my Tcut so may have better pics tomorrow. Trickle charge battery overnight, reads at 80% full after 4months. Also pulled door cards off passenger side doors to try fix handle/window not setting. Typically, once door was open and innards hanging out it set straight away Think I found the problem, can you see what it is?

Found a place to top up my air con £60 my mechanic Max, doing it on Monday
