    4wd does not seem to work

    sorry had a date last night and a busy day today. (waits for all the gaylander jokes to subside regarding date). I AM NOT SLATING RATTY OR THE ADMIN i just think if we can put up a decently worded sticky where members can put their experiences of good and bad garages and keep the language civil...

    4wd does not seem to work

    so rob does that mean by association that all the poor sods that got ripped off by the ird guy who seemed to warrant a sticky should join us or do you not consider them moaners? im sure 1 or 2 of them who spent good money only to get less than they were expecting would like to know what you...

    turbo timer

    shows how easy it can be to get caught then. i wonder how many people out there are driving jap 4x4s with illegal timers on them that they cant switch off. im surprised its not picked up on an mot.

    turbo timer

    so where do you stand if youve bought a jap import and get caught leaving it even though you didnt know it was illegal. we all know about having to make sure you have a rear fog but i never knew about the turbo timer before.

    4wd does not seem to work

    guys can we not have this turn nasty or the meaning of the thread will get lost and i believe this is quite an important thread. we could def do with a sticky that can be added to where members can post objective comments on the places they received good or bad service. if these posts are...

    4wd does not seem to work

    well i havnt got an attitude and dont think my post was arrogant but i would like some clarification on whether its worth bringing up bad service to let other members avoid as i did when i posted my concerns regarding my insurance company or if posts will get pulled for legal reasons. i watched...

    4wd does not seem to work

    as i stated i dont have a prob with p.ms being private. what i do have a prob with is stating something that could easily have been put up as a post being sent as a p.m. if the forum is worried about legal action because of the members post then why not say so in public. the idea of sending the...

    4wd does not seem to work

    as i said i dont have a prob with p.ms but when someone asks things not to be shared with the rest of the forum it makes them look suspicious even though they may not be. as i also said the contents of the p.m could quite easily have been put on the bottom of the thread for a couple of days or...

    Freelander 2 Mk V

    I think its so funny that LANDROVER actually let victoria beckham help with the design although she might actually appeal to the tratter guys as she does resemble a pig. lol

    turbo timer

    So its one of those things its not illegal to have but illegal to use. lol. I used to use mine all the time. Sounds like I had a few lucky escapes. I wonder if all the guys driving imports with them fitted know this as mine was adjustable but I nearly bought a jap import terrano which had no way...

    turbo timer

    so is it illegal to fit one? or illegal to have a vehicle fitted with one? my truck went through the mot fine with it on although i did have it switched off at the time of the mot so they might not have noticed it was fitted as the control is mounted just under and to the left of the steering wheel.

    turbo timer

    this is a little thread i thought about last night and doesnt really concern me as ive got the petrol, i used to have a jap import nissan 4x4 and it had a 2.5 t,d in it and had a turbo timer fitted which meant i could set the running time after i had switched it off and left the vehicle. just...

    4wd does not seem to work

    ok so i understand posting p.ms isnt good but why the secrecy? were not idiots and can understand why a thread could be removed if it could bring the site into disripute but why the keep it to your self bit. the p.m doesnt smack of conspiricy in itself but the bit on the bottom about keeping it...

    4wd does not seem to work

    I think a name and shame section might be in order and maybe someone one on here who has legal experience could make sure the wording is ok and edit if not. Then we could all put our own experiences with companies and the cream would soon rise to the top.

    Does my FL have an Easter Egg?

    your not alone mate. i drove a mondeo as a cab for 12 hours a day for 2 years before someone told me it had reach and rake on the steering. i had never even tried it as there was only one lever i thought it was just height. i pull and lift on all steering wheels from then on. lol

    that sux that a company would do that. all the weight of the prop but no 4x4. be easier to just drop the prop.

    Central (un) locking not working properly.

    yup not sure on that one myself. lol. just out of interest have you looked at the link? its really good. i bookmarked it as its just so handy if something im wondering about the truck pops into my head while im messing about online i just open another tab and have a look.

    Does my FL have an Easter Egg?

    yup but it goes on on its own automatically when the front wipers are on and you select reverse. not a bad idea in this country.

    Central (un) locking not working properly.

    dont worry too much about not knowing the keyfob stuff mate. ive had shed loads of cars and didnt realise the double lock unlock on the fob either and didnt realise you could download the manual either. i went so far as to pulling the rear handle off in an attempt to open the back and only...
