Not sure I'd call only just starting working fine :D Good about the lack of faults though! Almost like nearly ever other car... :P

Are the breaks good enough to stop it if it's towing 5 tonnes..?

Had the battery held out?

James May said it had been moved up to the top of the bonnet I wonder if it's got something to stop you opening the door in that situation :P

+1 I'd also recommend changing the air, oil, pollen and fuel filters (all easy). Island4x4 do a reasonably priced OEM kit

Good to hear things are fixed :) How much oil came out in the intervening 4 months..? :P

intentionally Clarkson quote? ;)

The pipes are a different metal to the cooler, so the threads corrode, so I'm not sure if plusgas will help :/

cutting chunks of the car off is quite a good way to reduce the number of problems!

To check whether the RF receiver is the problem, see if yours has a green spot (It's under the offside rear parcel shelf - little black box). If it doesn't it's not the latest version and will probably cause the battery to drain. If it does have a green spot there is a small chance that it's an...

Hmm, well that's a mystery that was never solved haha So when the TB is in neutral does that disconnect it from the gearbox rather than the wheels? Well in an auto I can see very little reason to coast in neutral due to the lack of lockup meaning it causes little drag, but in a manual it could...

So is it OK to coast with the gearbox in neutral but with the engine on if that's running the pump? That's interesting about the transfer pump, so putting the transfer box in neutral before towing is to protect the gearbox rather than the transfer box? Also just to add a fly :P when I had my...

So the wheels drive the prop shaft which drives the transfer box which drives the gearbox which is disconnected from the engine and thus the oil pump when in neutral?

if in neutral why does it matter.. Surely nothing is rotating? does the pump for the transfer box oil only run if the box is moving rather than the engine?

Why's it called an octane rating if it's not to do with octane itself? Is it semi-archaic?

(Some of) This was absolutely the case for me! I went from a Clio to my P38 and now that it's gone and I'm back to a Clio drive it much slower (to the point of really annoying my mother who is firmly of the belief that you should power up to the red lights :rolleyes: ) The fastest I've taken...

No because then the battery would probably be flat :P

There was the scenic 4x4 and it may have had the same engine as was then fitted to a Clio :P
