What did you do with your Range Rover today

Topped up the screenwash (that’s a big old reservoir isn’t it?! Took a whole container)…then filled her up with diesel for the first time since purchase. Christ! And I though the X5 I’d been borrowing cost a lot to fuel!!

Go on shock us.. how much for a full tank. Coz no one here will ever afford to do it pretty much soon..

Think I'm going be sick...

Oof, bloody hell.
Is it petrol or diesel? Petrol will start going off in a month, at least with diesel you get about a year!

At least being sick gives you an excuse to stay home and save on the fuel

Red Rover did the daily commute again today, reliably running daily at the moment. Touch wood.

I also had a near miss with something horrible: we've got an Ejoke that's been parked up outside for a while (broken timing chain). I had to lift the bonnet, but managed to escape after that and have nothing more to do with the thing. Phew!

You touched an Ejoke I would prescribe a week in quarantine and some tinkering with a proper rangie and you may just survive

Moved mine of the drive so my son can work on his astra asbo, he had better get it sorted quick.

Hope it's a wire off or a duff sensor and not lack of coolant

Thanks Data, it was the wire coming off the terminal of the sender, so just cleaned it up for luck and pushed it back on. Everything now working as normal, I wish all fixes were that easy.
Being that the VM is reputedly rather fragile as regards overheating I am a bit anal about checking levels - I do have the level sensor fitted in the expansion tank, and it works - but all the same, it gets checked out every 2nd or 3rd trip, just because.

Had 73miles range left…cost me £149.70 for a few drops shy of 81litres. I’m having super noodles for my tea!!

I have one of these that i got for my vans joints i was hoping it will fit the p38 ones, i can always make up the correct size bit in the workshop.

Been told they are good on p38. I’m looking at dha kit for £50. Bits are for those blummin jeep things but it’s the giant C press I need mainly

Is a dirty diesel, but I'd be lucky if that lasts me 3 weeks. I normally need a tank and a half a month.

I've still got half a tank of diesel left from when I put £80 in to top it up back in February.i don't do a lot of miles and have been away for four weeks since. Think it's going to be a shock to the system next visit to the garage.

I have been having a few medical issues so mine is still brimmed. I don't think it or I will be going anywhere for a while. I had better put it on charge!

Filled all my vehicles up just as the prices started to rise, only just had to refill the Transit and one P38. I never let them go below half full, even so they both cost well over €100 to fill Not doing many miles at the moment, since Covid we only shop once a fortnight and trips to the builders merchants are more carefully planned to minimise the visits.
