hi, im in winchester

Hello again everyone, well the squealing from under the bonnet isnt the drive belt so the good news is i now have a spare. the bad news is that the squealing appears to be coming form the aircon pump and i have been advised that it could be the bearings and i will need a new pump. This will be...

hi i was in low range and all was green with no warning tone. i took it to brooklyn4x4 and they put their machine on it and it said all was fine but when i took it to landrover they said it was definately not working.

oh i did have it in landrover the other day and they said it wasnt working and that it would need further investigation aka more money.

as i go down the hill there is no speed control and it speeds up to the point that i have to break so im pretty sure it doesnt work. i was under the impression that it kept the car at no more than 5 mph which mine is definately not.
