of course it would (doh!), northamptonshire. although with the likely costs i suppose I'd travel to london, midlands, oxford way to get the right people at the right price on it!

It is a 4.0, auto box :( :( :( Guys and recommendations for independents would be appreciated. My nearest and best charges £60 an hour. Thanks

Cheers for the replies, I gotta be first to admit I'm out of my depth here. Don't suppose you work for a garage and wanna do the work do you? Or a rough idea on labour time would be good so I don't get ripped off by a garage. Thanks

I'm thinking is more likely to be engine oil, i guess changing this seal you have suggested is a big job? Thanks

Hi I have an oil leak, no shock I'm sure. I've included a photo which shows circled in red where one oil leak is coming out from. I'm thinking of just pinching the bolts (circled blue) up, but don't know what they would be called in Rave? Any other advice is welcome, I'm not a...

ok cheers guys, will take it to the garage!

Ok I done exactly what you said and the alarm never sounded. I now 99.99% sure the whole alarm system is off almost like its not installed at all! There are no error messages on the display etc - where do I begin? I've just replaced my fuse box, and that has made no difference as it wasn't...

Hi My lights don't flash when I lock my P38, there are no error messages or anything I just get the impression my whole alarm system is not on? I read there is a shared fuse for headlamp washer and alarm flasher where is this? Any other ideas or tips appreciated. Thanks

7 litres purcahsed. I do have the RAVE PDF but couldn't find it anywhere! Thanks for all your help.

Hi Stupid question I know - but i need to service my car and can't find how much oil I need. I will obviously check the dipstick but I need to know roughly how much to get from the shop in the first place. Thanks Chris

Ok looks like the garage are going to have to reset that voltage thing. Have checked all the physical stuff and left battery disconnected and still no joy. Interestingly though if I disconnect the idle control valve the car still gets to 2000rpm but it takes like 10 minutes or so instead...

Just thought to finish the post off I would report that refitting a new manifold gasket has resolved my water leak issue. And to further increase my miracleness it was done without disconnecting the LPG - just a whole lot of wiggling! Cheers.

Hi I've just finished putting the motor back together after a head gasket change and now I have a problem, when the engine starts it revs at 1500rpm and then slowly climbs and stays at 2000rpm within 30 seconds. Now I popped a spring out of the throttle linkage and aren't to sure I've got it...

Ok - so now I just need to know which of the twelve holes are water ones? blackvoguebeauty - The manifold bolts were taken out which allowed enough room to wiggle the heads out (once the alternator and bracket etc were off as well). I don't like gas - can't see it - don't touch it! Hylomar is...

yes the two small pipes are on the plenum and tight. i take it you mean the 6 square holes either side of the valley gasket? - I thought these were for fuel? but then as I said I'm no mechanic. I've seen glues and things used on gaskets before but I would be really supprised if the seal on...
