Mrs Blip's trattor only gets cleaned once a year, and that's the valet the LR dealer do during the annual service. This year they didn't even bother doing that properly, and at £450 for a dealer service we won't ever be going back there! I remember when it had new car smell. For about a day...

Weird, because it was supposed to be one of the main differences between the GS and ES. I think the other extras were aircon as standard and a vanity mirror with little lights! Possibly CD player too? Cheers Blippie

Changing the rotary coupler isn't a hard job with a Haynes manual. Did this on our TD4 in March and the longest bit of the job was waiting for airbag capacitors to doze off after disconnecting battery. Cheers Blippie

Both those sizes will fit on a 17" rim. Cheers Blippie

After months of fiddling, my door started working again absolutely fine after two weeks of not using tbe car when tbe battery was low but not flat. The firtst time I went back to use it, the alarm went off when I opened the bonnet, but after that the car awoke from it's slumber and all worked...

Thanks, I'm trying to remember if I changed the glowplugs with cheapo or genuine parts some years ago, and would a dodgy glow plug contribute to this. I'll grab my multimeter and have a play at the weekend. Cheers Blippie

The front seats in the 5-door will not fold forward. Cheers Blippie
