I'm looking for somewhere near Swindon (Wooton Bassett) to do some work and service my P38, obviously not looking for a main stealer, would prefer a positive recommendation for a 4x4 specialist or someone who knows there way around a Range Rover and is equipped to do the airbags etc. Does...

I'd considered the solar charger, but when i spoke to thorn, they couldnt guarantee it would generate enough juice to do the job...then started looking at the CTEK chargers. As I have no garage, it would be good to be able to use a CTEK via an external power socket (on the house) and be able to...

That sounds like a winning idea as my P38 often sits on my drive through winter, I've already had to have the battery off and recharged and was crapping myself about it causing problems. I did ask on this forum about using a CTEK charger, but didn't get an ideal solution. What did worry me...

Its been suggested that I get my MAF sensor changed when I next get my 2000 Vogue 4.6 serviced. I sourced the parts through Island 4 x 4 - Britpart @ £44.99 or OEM @ £119.99 is there much between them, I've seen Britpart take a bit of a slagging on the forum, but thought I'd ask what forum...

That will be the wallet emptying...:)

Cheers, she's booked in next week, hope its not going to be too painfull!

Thanks gents, have got an SRS warning light on on the dash too, just came on over the weekend. The RR's up in Catterick Village at the moment with my other half, although I'm Wiltshire based (Wooton Bassett), was planning to use the village garage in Catterick for the big service, they have a...

Sandy, out of interest what am I looking at cost wise from non stealer to get these done? I'm planning to get a big service done, its just a question of if I get it all done in one hit or spread it out over two months.

Cheers for that Datatek, already been suggested to me that the auto box oil needs doing, but nice to hear it from a different source. By air bags are you referring to the SRS airbsags or the air suspension? All advice greatly appreciated

My 2000 (X) Vogue 4.6 (82K miles)has been a dream to own and drive, but I have noticed that it seems a little uneasy at around 70-80mph. It's as if it cant make its mind up to to change gear and almost seems to surge then ease off. Its the same with cruise control on or off, I have noticed too...

Thanks for that..it's always useful to have a personal recommendation..I was stuck between the 4003 & 7000, hopefully I can get this sorted before I end up with electrical problems, as touch wood, she's run pretty much perfectly so far.

Sounds promising, which CTEK unit do you use? Would you recommend it, the big problem for me is there not being anyone around to keep an eye on the thing. I guess I'm looking for some magic solution, when there probably isn't an easy one!

I've got a 2000 RR Vogue, that spends around 8 weeks at a time doing very little as I'm overseas a lot. I'd arranged for a friend to come over take her out for a spin and keep things ticking over for me....surprise, surprise it hasn't quite worked out like that and I've just had a message from...

Bloody hell thats not bad....enough to make me look at it again, I was considering it in the spring but shelved it...mines a 2000 Vogue pretty much mint with 80k on the clock. I did some research and was getting quotes between £1300 (for cash) and £2k, these were for Multi point sequential...

Cheers Mozz, Was that the Magnatec? I'm planning to change oil every 6k, just coming up to its first oil change since its last service at 72 000. They're expensive beasts, but there's no point paying over the odds for basics, I'm overseas a lot so don't have that good an idea of UK prices...

Cheers Matt, that sounds a lot more reasonable

Can anyone suggest a good oil for my 4.6l 2000 Vogue(Thor), I've had two different ones recommended: Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 A3/B4 Castrol Edge 5W-40 The Edge seems to be a higher performance oil, as such costs a lot more at around £50 an oil change, as opposed to around £27 for 4l of the...

Bloody hell who's that with, I'm in a similar situation, not having had a car insured in my own name for over ten years, I was quoted a wide spread between £500-£1500 for a 2000 4.6 Vogue parked off road in Wiltshire, I tried Performance Direct for a classic quote,they weighed in at £1.1K, ended...

I'm looking to replace my original Alpine unit, I spoke to Alpine as I'm thinking of installing a complete mulitimedia/satnav unit the INE-S900R but was worried about compatibility with the steering wheel controls. Their technical support team recommended a product from an American company...

Sorry I can't help, but I'm looking for something similar, I want a blanking plate to cover the single din slot currently occupied by the radio/cassette. Thinking about replacing GPS with a GPS/multimedia unit making the rc redundant, but would like something firm enough to screw/stickl an...
