Thanks Optimus - though it says in the manual that it is a standard feature...

I have a 2005, '55' plate TD4. Will it have an FBH? I have never heard any noise in a morning, and it has been VERY cold recently. If it does, how can I make it work? Should I buy one of these remote controls available on ebay, and if so, how do I programme it to work with my FBH? Thank...

Noooo.... you're confusing it with a Defender that won't actually reach 54mph, but will go places the AA can't get to!!!

Unlike you.

I take it you've not got any for sale then?

True the handling is very good - and the Roadventures don't disappoint in the twisties - but to be fair, unless you are driving a superb handling sports car, you ain't going to be doing much more than 50 or 60 down the roads I use on a daily basis. In the wet the Sunny tyres are outstanding...

Been off road quite a bit actually, and significantly better than I was expecting... in fact, quite impressive... just let down by the lack of clearance and low ratio box. But then, not all of us can afford to buy Defenders and Discos, or run Series LRs. But then I do have a Series 2 LW (albeit...

Thanks Ian - how can I tell if it is? What should I be looking for?

Please... preferably chrome effect, and preferably for a sensible second-hand price!

Ample capability for the majority of users.

It sounds like a stone pinging up and hitting the bodywork loudly, but it is too frequent and appears to always come from the left side of the vehicle generally when travelling in a straight line. Very peculiar. Nothing seems to be running badly. But I am worried that something is breaking...

I've got Marshal Roadventures for the summer which are more than adequate for the TD4's performance. I have recently put some Sunny SN3830 winter tyres on, which have the M+S marking and the Euro snowflake symbol. They were cheap tyres, and I was warey, but I have to be honest and say, so far so...

Yeah - that's what I've been looking at... is that right?

Any further thoughts on this - and where in the East Yorkshire area are you thinking? I don't know of many green roads in the East Riding - in fact two... one is only a few hundred yards long (in Aldbrough) and the other is pretty flat (Patrington to Withernsea railway line). Want to get muddy!

Nokian WR G2 SUV Marangoni Meteo HP SUV Two tyres I have never heard of but seem to be getting rave reviews...

Reassuring... thanks! (To be fair, I find them pretty grippy on the road, and not bad in slippy mud either... it's just the snow that I am concerned about, as it's all very well having a vehicle that's capable of getting me to work, but if the tyres are ****, then it ain't gonna help!!!)

I have a Freelander 1 (Facelift). Currently it is running Marshal Roadventure tyres, but these were fitted when I bought the car, and I haven't had it long. The wheel size is 17" and the tyres fitted are 225/55/17s. Do I have to stick with this size or can I increase the width and depth of...

You may well be right there. I have worked out my average mpg, and thus far, am achieving a very respectable 41.67mpg. (This is based on brimming the tank, and running it to the warning light coming on (twice) so it may be slightly out, but it gives a rough idea.) However, there are a lot...

Right - I have heard back from VOSA. "There will be quite a few changes to the MOT text next year, but checking the mapping or "chipping" of ECUs is not included. A visual check to see if the emission control equipment has been modified is included in Directive 2010/48/EU but has not been...

Well... being a man of my word... I rang VOSA. They didn't know. They have advised me to email their technical team. So bear with me on this one. I WILL get a definitive answer. I think it refers to commercial vehicles and not private ones, but better safe than sorry. Hippo... you are...
