Jesus I thought you were doing 700 mile oil changes…7000 miles, the oil will have more sparkle than one of Cilla Black’s dresses

Old stock Dunlop were better quality, these days is anybodys guess. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Dunlop today roll off the same machine as the BP ones.

What's the power steering fluid in these trucks/buses/j**ps? 
Handbook says Texaco cold climate PSF 14315..
Is that an expensive name for ATF III? Or is it different stuff? Certainly smells like 'well used' ATF Certainly smells like it needs a change

It's obviously been opened, but I'd love to know what they have done to stop dash lights and presumably prevent regen attempts. Also assume it means i don't need to worry about oil dilution?
I wonder if it's why cruise control accelerates very very slowly and won't maintain speed going uphill?

Not actually range rover but thought you might like a laugh. Wife's friend at work had been complaining about her brakes so wife being wife volunteered me to have a look at them.

Preventative maintenance is a thing of the past. It breaks, you move on. I met a guy last week who buys good quality Range Rover Mot failures being sold for buttons. Most fail on maintenance items, so couple of hundred quid and some know how and you’re quids in.

I'm more concerned that if might fail when tests get even more strict in a few years.
Plan on keeping it a while!
