    Fair point Disco. Never say never though.

    Possessed rear windows

    Yup. All that happens is when they hit the stops, in either direction, they just bounce off and either start going up or down again, depending on the way you are winding them in the first place. Will have to drop it off at the dealer but just wondered if there was anything else I could do first...

    Land Rover World - bath ruiners

    Those words will come back to haunt you Disco at the next event when you need a hand out the sticky stuff and the only thing near enough to lend a hand is a P38 :D

    LRO Training Days

    £50 is a bit of a bargain. I've done two half-day sessions at Rockingham but that was with the Land Rover Experience guys. The courses are not exactly cheap but you do get to trash, I mean drive, their cars and not your own. Although the instructors at Rockingham are superb, polite, patient and...

    P38 - Reset Windows & Sun Roof

    Weirdly this is one of the very few jobs I've managed to do myself, me being mechanically challenged and all. Just follow the instructions in the user guide Monty as the chaps have said. It does work.

    Land Rover World - bath ruiners

    Land Rover World (LRW) have a lot to answer for. There I was, luxuriating in a nice warm bubbly, relaxing bath, reading the July issue of LRW, when I happened upon the "Heritage on the Run" article. Quite interesting I thought, until I read the direct attack the writer planted square on the nose...

    Newbie help - P38A minor off-road prep

    Excellent. Thx Turbo. I'm going to Famous 4 in Louth soon so I'll see what they say. I really don't want to fit a new bumper if it can be avoided if the only ones with recovery points also have giant spaces for a winch. The recovery point on the Jeep looks very neat indeed. I'll keep you posted.

    Possessed rear windows

    What ho all. My rear windows seem to have gone a little wild on my Disco 4. I could take it back into the dealer of course but I just wondered if there was something simple to be done. If I put the windows up, they hit the top stop and then roll halfway back down again. The only way to get...

    OK. I've got to the point where the recovery points are going to possibly come in handy. However, looking around it seems it's not as straight forward as you'd hope on a P38. I'm trying to look surprised honest. Why would Land Rover think for a moment that someone might want to pull a RR out of...

    4,6 fuel consumption...

    On country roads which is my usual haunt I'm getting between 15 and 18 out of my P38, depending how much I want to hear it snorting and growling at the Prius's. I did get 20 on a nice gentle run though so I know it can be a bit more frugal when the mood takes it but why would you have such a...

    Help with chipping.

    I've not had my RR done by them yet but I've had two other cars upgraded and they are excellent. Try Angel Tuning - Chip Tuning VW, BMW, Audi and Alfa Romeo - Angel Tuning The impact they had on my BMW and my Santa Fe was amazing.

    Hello, A quick search on the Web will show you a whole heap of places. I'm not sure where you're based but Lincoln is littered with places. From my limited dealings with them so far I can certainly recommend Famous Four in Louth. Take a look at their website at http://www.famousfour.co.uk/ and...

    Sorry Hoody. I didn't hear anything so popped them on Ebay to see what would happen and they sold straight away. The guy picked them up today. Yeah, I meant the strip below the bumper. I figured every little helps. As far as I can see there's no where from the front to be pulled out with so I...

    Auto vs Manual

    I think the auto is a lot easier if you make a cock up like mucking up a hill climb and it does free up your brain to be thinking about others things (such as avoiding trees and cliff edges etc). No possibility of dipping the clutch by mistake and ending up making your way back down the hill in...

    K.O.R.C 4x4

    I have to say that I thought Kirton TOR was excellent. I spent a happy day there with my little lad today and had no hassle or problems at all. Far from it in fact. The marshals were helpful and friendly and the other drivers were great. Everyone waved when you pulled in to allow them past and...

    What do you expect for £50,000 ?

    I think you're either lucky or you ain't. I've had brand spanky new cars that have been a nightmare from day one and creaking old gates which haven't missed a beat. My 5 year old XK8 with only 30K miles on it was fab, but then the suspension fell apart at the first sign of a pothole and the...

    Cheers for the advice. I agree. Pound for pound I think tyres are probably the best thing to go for. If/when my Grabbers meet their maker I might save up and get a set of BF Goodrich MTs. Having said that the Grabbers did a superb job today and didn't let me down once. It was quite dry and...

    P38 aircon failure

    Mine seems to work when it's cool outside but at the first whiff of warmth I get the little book symbol and it drops dead on the spot. Given the cost of my car, which was bought as a weekend warrior, a grand would be a bit hard to swallow. Luckily the electric windows work as a suitable...

    Just about done and going to take him on his maiden voyage this weekend to Kirton. Got me Grabber 2's on, new battery, removed the steps and front spoiler and fixed the dodgy washer/wiper problem. Apart from perhaps getting a different set of crash cans fitted at some later date (with recovery...
