    MOT Changes next year.

    I have heard that a few less than honest sellers/dealers have taken to cutting the advisory section off the new MOT, so the new owner is not aware of any advisories. 'yes sir, VOSA have gone back to the old A5 size MOT certificate. It is in very good condition, passed its last MOT with not...

    This is a Range Rover. Sadly.

    It did have black leather and had a white roof lining, not sure I would like a panoramic roof in the sun and white leather, it is not easy to keep clean.

    This is a Range Rover. Sadly.

    Took one for a test drive 4 weeks ago when my local dealer did their launch day. In my opinion it is a 'crock of ****'. it does have a good engine, but they are dark and dingy inside and look god awful from the outside (Black ones do look better than white or red ones). Suspension is too firm to...

    This is a Range Rover. Sadly.

    Had a drive in one about a month ago, very impressed with the seaing position and a good deal of poke from the SD4 engine. Wouldn't buy one though as they are pokey inside, far too small and is the worst looking car I have seen since the fiat multipla came out

    O2 sensors - help please

    They do only last about 80K miles, so it is possible you may have been driving with one failed for a while, but you would have had really poor fuel economy. I would advise only getting the genuine Bosch sensor as well, some of the aftermaket units have been know to fail after a few K miles

    O2 sensors - help please

    I would be surprised if both had gone at the same time. My code reader shows bank a sensors 1 & 2 on 1 screen and bank b sensors 1 & 2 on the next screen. As i have a UK V8 with only sensor 1 fitted on both bank A & B, my code reader always shows sensor 2 on banks A & B at 5volts Sensors are...

    Typically uninformed post, you should try sitting in a soft top with the roof up on a sunny day, the roof makes a very good heater and you need aircon if it is too cold to have the roof down at 60

    Opinions sought .............

    Had similar thoughts about upgrading my p38 to an L322. from the research i have done, you would be best to keep the p38 until a later model TD6 with the upgraded gear box and the touch screen sat nav was in your price range

    Farewell engine

    Sounds more like head gasket to me. I think if you had a slipped liner then you would get pressurising. IF and only IF a replacement engine is your final option (not HGF or broken water pump, etc) You could try Irontite. I put the stuff in my engine last week as the colling system was...

    strange things happening with temp guage

    Sounds to me like the thermostat is stuck open, normally the temperature needle would sit vertical and not move at all once the engine is up to temperature
