Ordered 6 litres of Mannol 5W-40 ceramic life extension oil and filters. Interested to see if the engine "feels" or sounds different (TD4, 325,000 km). Used BMW longlife last time and I got 875km on a tankful and no low fuel light!

I have a similar unit on my tractor and have carefully pulled, no snatch, in excess of 3 tonnes. I wouldn’t do that regularly or trust it’s fatigue life but for usual use, I reckon it’s fine on a hippo. Edit: I just checked a number of references and your arrangements is EU approved and is...

I am very pleased to hear you got it done and 2.5 hours! Well done.

Just to update those taking interest, I removed the fault codes and recalibrated the gyro, having remade the connection next to the handbrake. Today I’ve started the vehicle twice and driven 10 miles each time on a mix of rough dirt terrain (I’m living in a remote place) to public roads of mixed...

I wish I could be more certain, but I am certain that they didn`t bleed the brakes or top up fluid so I presume the brake line was not touched. They did have to gently strain this and that and I saw reasonable use of the polythene faced mallet at one point. They faffed around to get...

Hello all, while trying to understand other faults which I have cleared, pscan showed this: - Teves Mk 25 1 error code 5E5C C1220 Unknown code There are no wheel speed sensor codes and the Bosch front pads, 600 miles back, the wear indicator connections are correct. I can't find it anywhere...

My pscan arrived this week and I checked all systems to see the following faults: - B1001 Battery voltage too low B1004 Warning lamp failure (short to ground or open circuit) B1008 Front driver airbag, resistance too high I have have reset the errors and used the car. Nothing came back and...

The garage I was forced to use by unfortunate circumstance used that approach on my 2005 rear right wheel bearing replacement a few weeks ago. BTW, I couldn`t believe how much noise a bearing "starting" to fail created in the cabin. Good luck!

Hello @Nodge68 - I cannot see the Armageddon link.... but if it refers to what I think it might; I would offer that UK has a more sensible approach to cars and motorcycles. That is, in the broad sense, does the vehicle have a continuing safe condition for use on the highway. Here in France and...

@andyfreelandy can previously used 17TN fobs be reprogrammed in your experience? Thanks in advance.

Thanks @andyfreelandy. I need/want to have a second working fob. Knowing it is the 17TN is a huge help. I just ordered a pscan from @pscan.eu to help me with the bizarre behaviour on the SRS side, so I can do the CCU work too.

I just looked here and on eBay for a FL1 2005 key fob supplier. Any recommendations that respect the bank account please? Do the Rover 25 45 100 200 400 ZS ZR MG MGF 2 Button fobs suit FL1? Thanks

Thanks, while out shopping for beer to help my misery, I thought much as you. I’ve called a friend who has the LR setup to fully diagnose. Maybe there is something happening with the ECU and there is no fault at all with the systems it’s monitoring, like a false negative. I’ll post back when I...

Does a hippo drive you to drink?? 🤣 What’s so infuriating is everything else is working, even HDC. Pretensioners are all same length. I’m ringing The Samaritans later…. they surely know some of our issues!

Hello, came to UK last week with the TD4 2005 Facelift FL1 (manual trans, no cruise control). During the ferry crossing and hour getting through a DRENCHED Portsmouth, I had both the SRS light come on and the orange hill descent warning light show. Overnight; the HDC warning disappeared. But...
