    just a hypothetical question

    I had the back end of a Ford Escort van that had been made into a trailer and it was brilliant. Towed really well. Being front wheel drive it had a lazy back axle so no diff to worry about.

    1992 Range Rover Auto Late gear changes

    I had the gearbox oil and filter changed almost as soon as I bought my P38 diesel and it made a huge difference. Smoother changes at all revs/speeds. Well worth doing I would say even if you still have to adjust the kick down.

    Starting up

    Mine is 99MY diesel and if I unlock it and open a door I can leave it all day without re-locking. If I don't open a door within a short period of time it re-locks. In order to start the car the correct fob has to be very close to the ignition lock.

    Calling a good Auto Electrician for battery drain problem

    The receiver is nothing to do with radio. It is the receiver between the keyfob and the central locking mechanism. It is basically the same frequency such as many 433MHz (unlicensed) devices such as walkie talkies, remote doorbells, some cctv cameras and other more powerful transmission...

    P38: LPG vs Diesel
