I thought that but my dad isn't that quick to be honest. It went off halfway up the close where I live too, no chance of speeding there!

My parents have a 2008 Freelander HSE. They have noticed a sound that is similar to a doorbell when using the satnav. It doesn't go off in the same place every time and is puzzling them a little. Any ideas, or indeed answers will be gratefully read. Cheers, Mart.

I once had questions asked on a listing for a car... Hi there. I don't have the cash to buy your car but I do have 6 chickens, a cow, a goat and several varieties of orchard trees. Perhaps we could come to an arrangement where I supply you with eggs, milk and various different fruits for a...

Er... Nah this is safe, It has a CAT converter to make it amiable!

Not to mention the vague "2-3yrs ago" estimate to the replacement engine, are the bills not dated? I can tell you that June 2007 saw a new head gasket in my wifes car, (that was £48 by the way). I don't trust anything on Ebay, take it as a complete shed and be surprised by it's good points. The...

Hmm, glad she mentioned the V8 bit, otherwise I'd be worried now, especially as I'm older than any Rangey lol. Nah, She's still in her twenties but seems to be having a premature midlife crisis and chopping in her Vectra! We're now considering the virtues of a 4.2, 3.9 or a 3.5. Age is no...

The wife has expressed a desire for a classic. Awesome! Just had a look about and wow, they are two a penny! So, I'll be getting her one shortly. As soon as we have it I'll pop some pics up etc. In the mean time I'm scouring the net... Any nice cheap ones in devon? I have my eye on a couple...

Someone on here is trying to do this install on here at the mo and has concluded it'd have been better to just get another 300 lump.

Tch. The internet is plagued by arseholes who have nothing better to do than create hassle for people. I run a forum, it is prettys self moderated and anyone who posts **** gets their post removed and a bit of a word. Repeat offenders find it difficult to log on after a while, specifically the...

Sounds familiar to the "I was flushing the engine, with a hose" post!

The only good thing to ever come out of Halfrauds was some colour matched paint, once. In my experience, they are pillocks. Their "professional", trained staff installed a newborn childs seat, without actually putting the seatbelt through it, thus it was just perched on the car seat. Tossers. I...

Assumption, the mother of all.... I understand the D3 is so computer controlled that it's not something you could do anything to, when it breaks. Therefore it's to the stealers every time!

Sounds like connectivity probs, are the terminals all tight and clean... Or a shafted battery to me. As for the wet pump, unlikely to be connected to teh original problem, that definately sounds like crap electrics somewhere. If the solenoid is clicking, it means power has reached that far, just...

No mate, never saw it. :(

Impressive start, when are you going to do some serious mods then? :eek: You know it is now in your blood and other things will become inferior. I can't wait for this post to reach page two as it takes fookin' ages for all the pics to load every time I read a reply lol. I like Brian S's reply, I...
