I'm late to the party but I have re-registered my 2001 Vogue in France so had to get a CT. Just before I left the UK I got a an MOT done. I think that the MOT is more rigorous & comprehensive than a CT but it passed with advisories on an oil leak & oddly enough tappet noise. It failed the CT...

My experience with overheating on my 2001 Vogue is that it doesn't cause any permanent damage. A couple of years ago I had massive overheating problems with loss of coolant that was diagnosed by my local garage as leaking head gasket or slipped cylinder liners as the sniff test found exhaust...

An unknown brand of water pump fitted by a garage a couple of years ago failed a few months ago. It looked like the bearings failed as the vanes of the impeller had gouged out the innards of the pump before digging in & jamming tight leading to a snapped serpentine belt. I was in France when...

I think that's being a bit paranoid. There aren't that many 2001 P38s around any more & if you wanted to nick a car it's hardly the most desirable one around. As I said the VIN is clearly on display in the windscreen which is AFAIK impossible to alter without removing the windscreen anyway. It's...

Yes, it's the same number as on the under bonnet plaque & in the windscreen.

No, what happens next? The VIN is visible for anyone who looks at the windscreen of the vehicle it's not a secret any more than the VRN that appears on the numberplate. It would be much easier to find the number if you have seen an actual image of what the chassis VIN looks like instead of your...

Thanks for the photo. I would have been lost without it. I eventually found the VIN after a lot of scrubbing away of undersea with a toothbrush, methylated spirits & sandpaper. Without that photo I really wouldn't have persevered. For future reference if anyone else needs to find the chassis...

Great! Thanks so much for the photograph. That's exactly what I need. I'll take a look later. Unfortunately the car is parked on the street so I have to get my partner to act as a spotter to ensure I don't get run over while lying in the road with my head in the right front wheel arch:)

I am aware that theoretically this is true & in fact the EU acceptance of conformity number is listed in section K of the V5C but evidently this is not sufficient for the jobsworths in the new(wish) centralised ANTS system who usually also insist the model details in section D of the V5C are...

This question has been asked before but not really answered. I need to find the chassis VIN on my UK registered RHD 2001 P38 Ranger Rover Vogue so that I can take a photo of it so that JLR will give me a Certificate of Conformity so I can re-register the car in France. For their own reasons JLR...

I don't understand why DAB radios for cars have such poor signal gathering ability. For instance the recommendations to use an external aerial with the Pure Highway. I have a Pure One Mi that is a £30 portable (albeit with a £16.99 rechargeable battery) & this works perfectly well in the car sat...
