Apologies, it is 3.6 - what's .1l between afficianados.

Everyone, I am so grateful for your replies, very much appreciated. Whilst I trust the garage it is currently in, I think using your advice is a cracking steer to hopefully speed up the diagnosis. I'll pass on the above and will hopefully have some more info in the next two days which I'll mug...

Many thanks for your reply, very much appreciated. The car died basically. The check engine light came on, but it was still working. Steering got a little heavy and then it just died en route to the garage. They looked at it and it had around 99 faults, however some were none existent I...

Hi all, Have a question ref BECM replacement. My 2008 3.5l Vogue appears to have a BECM fault from various signs and according to the nice chap at the garage. He's replaced them in other vehicles (not LR/RRs) and tells me that it basically bricks the vehicle. I've done some digging and seem...

Many thanks for all your advice, very much appreciated. Getting it fixed. :)

Many thanks for the reply. As it is, it's not running due to the turbo. I realise that it's best to replace both whilst they're at them. The mechanic (sound bloke) reckons there's nothing wrong with the second one. It isn't in bad nick, bit of scuffing on the rear bumper and a cracked d/s wing...

Hi all, I was seeking some advice over the route to take with my 2008 Vogue. It has been serviced/maintained pretty well, not quite FSH, but not bad. Body work is all good, no scratches/dent etc. It has around 158000 miles on it, isn't driven a great deal - around 20/30 mpw. The score is, one...

That is my opinion. Servicing and maintenance is current as per the warranty schedule and there was no indication or signs of it slowly breaking. I'm thinking that getting some figures and stats together on the average life span etc would bolster the appeal/complaint.

Many thanks for the steer, I will get onto them and see what they can advise. Hopefully they can give me some symptoms I can put in the complaint/appeal as well as some facts/figures relating to longevity.

Good evening, Not sure if this is the correct forum, so apologies if not. The turbo on my 08 LR RR went last month and it was towed to the garage. No dramas, thought I, I have a warranty which the garage assured me covered wear and tear when I took it out. (I know, a lesson in not being a...

Evening all, So, driving around Canterbury and an arse in a works van took a roundabout I was on a little too narrow, rubbed against my motor, swore at me and drove off. Livid isn't the word. I eventually parked up and assessed the damage. Basically, the passenger side headlight has been...

Hi ladies and gentlemen :), Not sure if anyone is still looking, but thought I'd send an update. Basically told them no, I wouldn't pay the 1000, got put on to a finance director who told me 'the Director has said absolutely no way we're paying more than the 1800'. I told him I wanted my cash...

I really am very appreciative of the advice. Thank you for taking the time for someone who appears to be at worst an idiot, at best a novice! Apologies for the offending 'Fellas' comment. It's a verbal twitch used for, well, everyone from a former life. Included could have been matelot, pongo...

Well, that escalated!
