looks lovely! i really want some sidesteps for mine.

clicking... is your battery fully charged?

I bought a roof mounted screen a few months back and found it at the back of my garage today and thought I'd try fitting it today. After looking at the size of the headliner, I changed my mind and pulled it apart to see if I could find another space to mount the screen... after sizing up the...

Mine did exactly what yours does when entering the code. Only the driver door locks and unlocks until one more unlock after entering everything. Then they all open. At that point you need to resync your fob by clicking the buttons on it till it works with the car. Not sure if the key still has...

mine is a bit wafty. i just figured thats what they were like??

Hi mate, I'm in Amersham and took my range to these guys (landrover specialist) a few weeks back: Home Page the website looks awful but the place seems pretty sorted and the people working there were very friendly and helpful. I havent actually had any work done there yet (still saving the...

I believe that button locks it into whatever height you're in. If you're in access mode tho, and you lock it, a message will come up about keeping your speed down and I think it bleeps at you.

Mine would be the gems engine then with the 4.0 on the top. Does that mean I should stick with another gems engine then? I'll keep the manifolds from my engine and swap them over for the LPG system. Seems easier using one thats been done then messing about trying to get another right...

I've got a KA for sale! £1000 tho... Failing that, get a merc 190e. You can buy one for next to nothing, and it should chug up the miles without giving you any problems at all... ever! Think I'm in the same boat as you. I'm clearing out the garage and looking at replacement engines, along with...

Just out of curiosity really, but I may have found a 4.6 engine for a good price, but I have the 4.0 in my range. how easy/hard is it to replace the 4.0 for a 4.6. Could i just replace the bits I need (short block) or is it better to just replace the whole engine? Secondly, I have an LPG...

haha, I didnt really think about it under the compression forces :p If I do take the heads off to have a look and it is a slipped liner, I take it I cant just bolt it all back together again, can I? Also, how bad is it to drive with it like that? I've done a couple local runs and it hasnt lost...

from my limited experience: If you go for LPG, make sure its multipoint. I'm 27 and my insurance is £310 on a 1996 4.0ltr with lancaster insurance (classic car specialists). You'll most probably be plagued with problems, like I have recently found out (most have been very easy to fix, others...

ah yeah, I see it. I didnt realise it was such a small... 'thing'!

What do you look for when you pull the engine apart? I have exactly the same problem with slow coolant loss and no other symptoms. I'm pretty sure mine is slipped liners, but might be an idea to double check before I start forking out huge sums of money.

also, after you've pressed the main switch with the motorway, and then the 'set' switch on the wheel, you can then press the set switch again to increase the speed. I think one click = 1mph increase. Switch on the other side cuts the cruise control briefly for the car to slow down, then you can...
