    terrible screeching squeaking type noise when turning

    Most likely the drive belt slipping. May be a sign of trouble somewhere in the power steering system, possibly the pump, where the extra resistence of full lock causes the belt to slip. You might want to check the belt tensioner (on the left hand side, just beneath the alternator) has sufficient...

    £50+vat for fitting two airbags - great value.

    Nope, two rear bags fitted (plus work warranted - all the better than me faff around)

    £50+vat for fitting two airbags - great value.

    I'll have you know I am fully equipped for P38 ownership. I have a few basic tools, a copy or RAVE and for the major jobs - a box of swan vestas..................

    £50+vat for fitting two airbags - great value.

    I know, i know - but I don't have any firm, flat ground to do it, don't have any of the jacks, axle stands, tyre irons etc - so all in all I don't think it is a bad deal, plus County Landrover wanted over £500 for the same job and would no doubt have found something else that I 'needed' done at...

    £50+vat for fitting two airbags - great value.

    Just been quoted £50+vat labour for fitting two new airbags (Dunlops bought from Island4x4 on fleabay for £120 the pair). Great price from my local indie - James Tennant in Okehampton Devon. Anyone else local needs bags done - now seems like a good time. It would have cost me more than...

    Metallic noise from drivetrain

    The noise from my car was only when pulling off in first, much more noticeable on an upwards incline. Once into second the noise was gone and everything was fine. I was so concerned I even posted the poroblem on here thinking it was a gearbox fault. A few days later - the waterpump blew. As I...

    Metallic noise from drivetrain

    A few months ago I experienced a similar sound and was convinced it was coing from the underside, most likely near the auto bellhousing. The performance was down, the gearbox wasn't shifting properly etc. Turned out it was my water pump just about to part company. Still can't believe it, the...

    Continental Matador tyres

    Anyone had any experience of these tyres, I've been quoted £200 for 4 by my local tyre dealer who supplies a lot of farmers etc. My car only does around 3k a year. I found this link -http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Matador/MP-46-Hectorra-2.htm Reviews seem OK, but then don't they...

    Rear bags giving up the ghost

    The last few mornings the rear has been down a few inches, particularly on the o/s. The car rises and rides perfectly afterwards, however, it must only be a matter of time before a bag or the compressor packs up. I intend to do the work before the weather turns really nasty and so I was...

    am I paranoid.??

    If its been like it for so long, in all weathers and under all driving conditions, chances are its just normal expansion and venting from rad to expansion tank. You've done all the checks - don't open the bonnet any more, just drive it from petrol station to petrol station and enjoy the drive in...

    Pollen filter link to failing Blend Motor?

    Having just removed leaves from my blowers recently - http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/air-intake-pollen-filter-water-leak-fix-168313.html I can see how accummulated debris can make its way along the duct from the blower to the blend motors. It wouldn't take much to get caught and...

    V8 engine temperature - running very cool!

    From cold, the viscous coupling should allow free rotation of the fan blades. If the coupling has failed, and is 'driven' from cold, the engine will not warm up. Simple test on a cold engine is to see if a rolled up newspaper can hold the blades. If your paper is chewed - your viscous coupling...

    V8 engine temperature - running very cool!

    Faulty stat or viscous coupling failure. Check that you can stop fan with rolled up paper.

    strange noise

    I originally thought it might have been something to do with the autochanger (that being where it is on my P38) but having just looked at P671 on rave at your model it can't possibly be that. There are a few heavy duty audio/video components located in at N/S/R boot area, perhaps one of them has...
