No it wasn't a specialist. When I say service I mean oil and filter change not fully disassembling (you might detect, I'm not technical at all). :-)

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could please offer any advice before I do battle with the garage. I recently had the Haldex serviced on my '14 SD4 and the vehicle immediately developed a knock. Basically, if you are for example manoeuvring back and forth when parking and hit the break hard...

Hi all I raised this a while back as just the memory had appeared to fail but now the lot has gone so the old posting heading is inaccurate. Basically I have an issue where first of all the seat memory stopped working (although the red button still lights). Then the seat and steering...

Hi all, Sorry to be thick but I'm a bit confused as to which of these two parts I would need if the seat memory has failed: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Rover-Sport-L322-Discovery-4-Drivers-8-Way-Seat-Memory-Control-Unit-/181933845856?hash=item2a5c1a2d60:g:ZYwAAOSwsFpWSeex or...

Hi all. Thanks for your 'useful' posts! ;) I've been searching but can't find a guide for removing the seat memory ECU. Any guidance would be much appeciated.

Hi all, A couple of days ago the drivers seat memory stopped functioning. All adjustments can still be made, along with the wheel and mirrors but I cannot recall positions by pressing 1, 2, or 3. It appears like I can save a position (i.e. the red memory light lights and goes out when I...

Thanks again for your responses. It's going in to the garage this week so I will let you know the results. Just to confirm, this only seems to happen once the car warms up, I'm guessing (with my very limited knowledge) that a faulty torque converter would display the symptoms regardless of...

Thanks Saint.V8, That is really helpful (it must be if I can understand it)! Will get it into the garage for diagnostics but looks like we won't have to cancel our holiday to pay for a gearbox just yet!

Thanks for your responses chaps! I took the vehicle on 2 decent test drives and this issue didn't rear its head typically!!! I have standard 18" wheels on there, albeit with slightly oversized Goodrich tyres. But it doesn't happen all the time, and seemingly only when the engine is warm...

Thanks Datatek, will get out of that habit immediately before I cause a bigger problem. I was hoping it wasn't the gearbox! It needs a bush replaced anyway so I will get it in the garage and get them to check it out on their computer. Will get the gearbox oil and filter changed too for...

Hi all Sorry to start a new thread on this but I thought it best to describe my exact symptoms as I have read conflicting info, plus please forgive my lack of technical knowledge. I’ve just bought an L322 TD6 and have started experiencing a ‘judder’ when stationary. This only appears to...

Thanks for your responses guys. I had heard about the timing belt needing doing at 150k. I have questioned this with the dealer as to whether they would do this for me. They've said that the engine variant is chain not belt driven. I suspected that this might be BS but having done some...

Hi Guys I didn't want to clog up the forum by starting a new post on this topic and did tag this on to another recent buying advice post but didn't get any response so here goes... I'm currently looking at replacing my Freelander 1 with a 2 and have seen a nice TD4 manual HSE for £7k with...

Hi Guys Sorry to jump in on this but didn't want to clog up the forum by starting a new post on this topic. I'm currently looking at replacing my Freelander 1 with a 2 and have seen a nice TD4 manual HSE for £7k with a full LR service history. However, its on 140k miles. Not being the...

Hi all, Just as an update, the part number for the under bonnet low pressure pump on my W reg TD4 was - LR020625. £354 from dealer or £150 from local specialist. However, I continued to run it for a few days with some fuel system cleaner in there and it has now been running a week...
