Thanks for your help, it looks like someone has modified the run of the air pipe as the valve block isn’t there. No it hasn’t always been stuck it’s only the last day or two

Thank you for your speedy reply! Mine doesn’t have that but, the air pipes seem to just go through the bulk head it’s mounted on. Is there another way to drain the front of the system do you know?

My air struts at the front are stuck in off road mode, I suspect that the valve has been blocked and they won’t go down either with the car or diagnostic tool, i want to crack the piping so that the air at least comes out so the car rides normally for now, but I can’t seem to find the valve...

I've had this problem a few times where you go to wash your rear windscreen, the wiper goes but no fluid comes out. Once you've checked that there actually is washer fluid in the reservoir, the next thing I would check is the pipes in the wiper motor aren't gunged up. I've had a few people ask...

It always depends how long a jobs taken and how many beers I've had in the process... :D

I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself today! In the space of four hours I managed to repair two reasonably expensive parts I thought I was going to have to replace. Took apart and fixed the rear wiper motor and the steering angle sensor and managed to fix them both successfully. I'm a big...

Thank you I might give that a go first as I can get it for around £25 but I think eventually I will shell out the £400 for an IID!

So I was updating the bulbs on my 2005 RR Vogue in the boot lid that point into the luggage area, and when I took the left hand one out I heard an arc and the two lights in the boot lid and the one in the boot itself stopped working. The rest of the interior lights work and I’ve looked through...

Thanks for this I’ll look into getting one of these. I’ll also use a good multi stage charger to get the new battery in tip top shape and see where we end up! Thanks for all your help

Ah okay thank you. Is there a diagnostic tool you’d recommend for a Range Rover?

So I’ve got a 2005 RR Vogue and I stupidly didn’t shut a door when I left the car in the garage and totally killed the (reasonably old) battery. I’ve since fitted a brand new battery and everything is back up and running but I now get a message saying that the HDC and air suspension are inactive...

Thanks for your reply, a 22mm socket went on after a bit of a tap and I’ve now ordered an extra long bar to try and get them undone so I suspect that you’re right with some rust getting behind them. I’ll replace the nuts when I get them off and give everything a good clean!

Hi! I'm new to both Land Rovers and the forum, so hi! I'm about the change the brakes on my 2010 LR Freelander 2, but I've fallen at the first hurdle. The wheel nuts appear to have caps on them, which I can't remove. They feel plastic and they move on the actual nut, I've tried using a cover...
