Mine does that at times and I thought it was something to do with when the sun's out. I remember trying to have a rest at work during my dinner break and the central loking kept waking me up. Maybe heat is a contributing factor. I wish I knew what it was :(

Makes me feel very guilty just putting mine through a car wash :(

I just did mine this morning while I had the car up on stands to do the oil. I was surprised at what they looked like. I was expecting a couple of pipes. They are either side of the transmission tunnel quite high up above the gear box and are like black domed rubber bungs with a cross cut in...

Where did you find the drain? How did you unblock it? Just a bit of wire? I need to do mine. I have the wet carpet too. I know mine is just the AC because when the AC is off for a week of so, the carpet has dried out, plus if I soak it up with a rag it's clear and odourless.

I got mine from him too. The Dutch instructions put me off, but when I looked back at ebay last week I noticed he had English ones now too, so I took the plunge :)

Sounds like it's gone into the default Italian mode.

The grub screw you remove from the outside is just a bung. You realise you have to put a smaller allen key through that hole to access the grub screw that grips the shaft? This was not clear in the photo instructions I was using. I was scratching my head for a while. I had trouble too...

I removed mine without removing the black bit. It did damage the card under the carpet, but once it's back in place you can't tell. How does the driver's lock affect the tailgate? I did notice on the wiring diagram that the feed to the tailgate switch came via the driver's door. Sometimes my...

RE: 1998 4.6 P38 Fuse 10 blew a week or so ago. The manual says it's for the RH seat. This was confirmed by the seat adjustments not working. I just put in a new 30A fuse and the seat was working again. But when I started the engine the message popped up saying the fuse had gone again. What...

I have the same fault on mine. The previous owner had it too and put some string onto the back of the lock going all the way to the left and coming out of a hole. That is MY manual override. Unfortunately at the moment the string is not visible. :( Mine works mostly but fails just when you...

Today I just fitted one of these rings and also a new inlet filter. I can't say as I've noticed any improvement in the 5 minutes I had the engine running but at least it's not worse. My original yellow seal was not visibly worn, but it had a couple of indentations around the perimeter, which...

Shoot the dog. It's easier. It'll save money on food and vet's bills.

If it's the auto you have... stop the car put it in N. Move the selector to the left. Wait until the beeping stops, then you can select the low gears on the left. It's always in 4wd

I think the most important thing when bobtailing, is to be sure you start at the right end.

How much more in fuel would it cost to get a V8 petrol? With diesel at 12p per litre more, the difference in MPG between the TDV6 and a V8 petrol, there can't me a lot in it. Especially when you factor in a perfomance upgrade.

Mine had every stamp upto 74,000. Mostly from Land Rover Approved garages and Land rover speicialists. It was 76,000 when I got it and it's 81,000 now. I've done the oil and filters once so far. I think it's time I got on my back and greased anything that moves :) I am not planning on selling...

How about... Most emulsion in the oil filler cap. Car with the flattest battery. Lowest MPG. Wettest carpet. Most porous block.

Small world. I used to post on there and went to a couple of meets with my (E32) 740i :)

How important is it you do all this? If you just go through 18" of water on odd occasions do you need to plug the holes? What damage can be done if you get water in? Will it dry out?

A quick one round the back with the garage owner?
