    Definitive 'maintenance' guide?

    I guess I would get some flak:D. Not having a RR before seems like a lot of gadjets on it. The other option was a Mitsubishi shogun.:eek:

    Definitive 'maintenance' guide?

    Now to me that sounds a good idea, as not really good at reading through 1000's pages let alone 10. Would be good with pictures aswell. Not that I am lazy, just don't know where half of the stuff is.:(

    p38, 2.5dse 1996, lights dim on hevac when brake peddle pressed

    Yes, looked on there and the battery seems to be the one, and 89.00 seems a fair price. Thanks for the help all.

    p38, 2.5dse 1996, lights dim on hevac when brake peddle pressed

    I will have a look but not a very good reader. One thing I have noticed is the battery looks smaller than what should be there going by the hole it sits in. Also it is 74ah which seems a bit on the low side to me.

    p38, 2.5dse 1996, lights dim on hevac when brake peddle pressed

    Hello All, I have noticed that when I press the brake peddle the hevac display dims a little. This is when I am stationary I have noticed it. I take this is a negative problem but where are the likely negative points on the vehicle aprt from the obvious battery one, or is it something else. Thanks

    I think I will add a few drops of the old tonic in with the next change, it can only help hopefully.

    p38 2.5dse power steering making a squeeking type of noise when on hard lock

    Well not on hard lock just when I have to get in and out of my driveway in about 10 moves because people park right up to the edges and more. Actually more of a rubbing sound than a squeek. Fluid level all ok.
