    Renaming required, I think

    Do you feel then the same with an Aston Martin V8 Vantage? A Porsche Cayman (Fantastic fun car to drive BTW), Jaguar F-Type? Coz all the above are not : Proper Aston Martin, Proper Porsche and proper Jaguar if we follow these chain of thoughts. Shall we say that the Nissan GT-R is not a great...

    You know what, my dream would be that someone offer rebuilt Classic like eagle offers E-types. I would Kill for a 2 door Classic rebuilt like this, with maybe a new moderm engine, brakes and steering... Or like the Icon Bronco BR | Models | ICON

    Agree to disagree!!! The Evoque can't be worse than that : Fiat Multipla picture # 01 of 25, Front Angle, MY 2002, 1600x1200 http://image.trucktrend.com/f/41746513/Suzuki-X-90-side.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/SsangYong_Korando_front_20080711.jpg And the worst of...

    Renaming required, I think

    A part of me agree with you, another don't. We can't say that the Evoque is dragging the brand down, is the Evoque a bad car? Is there anything wrong in allowing people that can't afford a RR to not at least have a taste of it via a more affordable and very stylish car? This is (above) where I...

    Renaming required, I think

    you guys are rather "Rude" with the Evoque. Granted the Evoque is not a "Range Rover" not much as the Freelander, but not "Everybody" Can afford a Range Rover, here in Japan the 2013 RR entry model cost 82,000£ while an Evoque cost 30,000£ Almost as much as the Freelander or 6k£ more than a...

    Last time I checked on their website the Lifetime guarantee was only in the USA and not overseas. https://www.arnottindustries.com/faq/ Some parts sold to United States customers have a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Others, including compressors, have a one-year warranty. International orders...

    RR wont turn in ignition, steering locked Battery keeps draining help

    I was talking about possible gremlins to my garage if I decide to jump to an L322, and they told me that the worse case of battery drain they saw was rather uncommon. Apparently the whipper motor(s) was the culprit. Don't ask me why or how, but worth checking... I am sure that finding a way to...

    Diary of a first time Range Rover owner

    If you do not mind wasting a bit of money on this I am sure that a body workshop garage could easily fix this and paint over it. Personally I'll really have a look at such option

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Replaced my fuel valve purge alone like a "big boy" and without anyone help! No more tapping noises!

    Am I paranoid or what? Wheel Toe / Tracking

    Good lord they are asking £230 for checking alignment in Japan at your average specialist store! And most of them need to have advance booking of at least 2 weeks!

    Am I paranoid or what? Wheel Toe / Tracking

    Ok so TOE out for the front is normal... for the rear I will check but again I ONLY have checked this by eyes and using the wheel arch as reference. Will try to get this sorted out one way of another. Anyway Wammers thank you for your help and reassuring me that the front should indeed look...

    Am I paranoid or what? Wheel Toe / Tracking

    I know that I may need to see a psychiatrist for this one but, when I was checking my car tires I it gave me the following impression for toe. Granted I based my drawing on the car body itself. Still the car is going straight and I do not see any impact on the tire wear. Of course I GREATLY...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Please "Translate me this" Automatic dipping for reverse gear selection

    So the internals are indeed tired, while there are no wobbling when using them, I can count at least a 2 to 3 sec lag between the moment I hear the electric motors working their magic before anything move. I am sure that trying to fix this will be a pure waist or money, so I am going to keep...

    Please "Translate me this" Automatic dipping for reverse gear selection

    There must be a simple explanation on why so many p38s suffer amnesia... After all this is the only left gremlin in my car so far and I want it gone... !! It's what I have done so far... But I am just not normal I like things working like they should be...

    Please "Translate me this" Automatic dipping for reverse gear selection

    Ok, then I have a problem. I tried (will try again this week end just in case) what they said, but when I move forward the mirrors come back to a "driving" mode but not completely, well not like they were set before reverse. Any one had this problem before? Cheers

    Please "Translate me this" Automatic dipping for reverse gear selection

    I must be stupid, not please correct this, I AM but I do not understand what it is written in the manual. My problem is in the "Bold" text The mirror memory has a pre-stored function which causes the mirrors to dip automatically whenever reverse gear is selected. If necessary the ’dipped’...

    poor snow driving

    I have been in parts of Japan where it snow 30 to 70cm per night with my P38 fitted with Summer Tires and just a pair of snow chains that I fitted when the snow on the road in front of me was touching the chassis of the car. I drove like a maniac climbing uncleaned road and everything went...
