Plugs should look like the left one. If any are like the right plug, almost certainly head gasket.

+1 on check charging voltage. The cars are quite fussy about volts !! Also, check your time machine if the battery was changed on 27th Dec 2025 ??

It can also be the front cover gasket weeping into the coolant around the water pump. Definitely worth doing compression test on all 8 cylinders. Take all the spark plugs out first. Also flush & refill the coolant with water, and test again...

We could try doing one old one each ??

How are the Eurospares bearing going after a year ? I'm getting a rumble on mine about 60-65mph, mainly from the seat & floor, but not through the steering wheel. Feels like either rear wheels need balancing, or the bearings on their way out...

What does the owners handbook say ?

Here's the regulation: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/regulation/109 Her's the solution: https://www.xcarlink.co.uk/land-rover-discovery-4-range-rover-evoque-sport-tv-dvd-video-in-motion.html Website has this disclaimer because...

Click where it says "Option 1" in the post above !!

The only downside is these use 14mm clamp nut, so I now need 13mm for the ground & 14mm for this !! The kit does have another clamp for the ground, so will fit that one day !!

New positive fitted & working. MOT runs out today, so need to get that done next week.

If windows and locking is not working, then it sounds like you have an issue with power or communications to the outstation. Check fuses 9 & 22. Nanocom will show if the outstation is responding. If the latch is stuck in the superlock...

The beeps stop after a while as long as you keep going about 35-40mph.

It seems the OP is completely unable to comprehend that fact.

I've driven 50 miles from Lincoln on bump stops, no problem

I did Basingstoke to Langley on the stops, again no problem albeit a bit uncomfartable. If we try harder we could get this thread up to a few hundred posts !!

no snow here . . . just lots of rain.:vb-umbrella:

The lock button only moves the small white lever to lock & unlock the latch. The cable for the inside handle and the outside handle both move the unlatching mechanism. Best bet would be to get another latch & understand how it works first...

It does sound like you bought a duffer, and used a garage that doesn't do the jobs properly. Both mine are rather reliable. The only exceptions are things that fail on all cars at some point.

These arrived today. When it stops raining, will fit them - assuming I don't need to get new cables as well..

You aint been here long. Wait until you see how far off topic we can take it :):cool: oh, and btw, one (i.e. you) is mostly incorrect about lots of things P38.

and if your garage had followed the LR manuals, they should have used an exhaust clamp, not a u-bolt !! If positioned properly it cannot impact the diff. Nether of mine are anywhere near the diff

Hmm.. "There are none so blind as do not want to see'

You are not listening, the hole was caused by a badly fitted exhaust, no part of the exhaust should be able to come into contact with the back axle or any other part of the running gear even when the car is on the bump stops. It could even have...

X8R for the parts. Replace all the o-rings & diaphragm valve. Do the compressor refurb as well. Before & after that check the airbag for leaks where the airline enters, and around the folds in the bags at all four heights.

Sounds like you need a better garage, given they fitted the exhaust badly. If the u-bolt was that close, the chances are Access Mode could also do the same damage with the EAS working. I cannot find a single instance in the 600,000 posts on...

Almost certainly air leaks, and a worn or failing compressor. Could also be leaky diaphragm valve. @dubloman your location is a bit vague !! Plenty of us in the UK, but only those near your town could help !! Put it in your profile

I second that about the rain. Lower half has been useful at times, i.e. as a laptop bench when several of us were working on a Virgin/Liberty Global Trials site in the good weather. In the bad weather a one-piece tailgate would have been...

Yes I thought that as well. Ordered a pair & will see tomorrow. At least I can return them if they don't fit !!

Ha Ha. Never heard of that. Would need to be a sudden failure that dropped the car onto rocks or similar. Even on the bump stops, the exhaust is nowhere near the ground. If the exhaust was badly fitted maybe the axles came into contact ...

Def try Bemble or Ashcroft. They will probably know what needs swapping.
