I think so. I inquired about a new key in Timpsons the other week and they put my key in a reader first to get the info off it to put on a new key. They then wanted £60 to code up a new one. I walked away as I have got two keys, but was passing Timpsons and thought it a good idea to get another...

I had the same problem about 3yrs ago. Once I changed the cap the coolant loss I was suffering went away. Seems OK at the moment, but I do keep an eye on it. Why no coolant level sensor put in by LR? Cheapskateness, I'd say, along with many other things!

I never set out to start a "depression" thread! It was more, "Oh bollocks, look what I've gone and done now..." It seems there's peeps out there having a lot worse time of it than me though, so I'm not mentioning my ankle any more! What can I say instead... erm, er, I know - my F/L passed its...

It doesn't need coding, and you can just replace one (good luck). Probably best to match the part numbers as there are different injectors for manual and auto variants, I think.

Flipping heck, that's a nightmare. Makes any injuries I've ever suffered pale into total insignificance, and I shall harp on about them no more. You really do have my sympathy, mate. I have a friend who's disabled, and he too gets very wound up by able-bodied folk using disabled parking...

Well, I do sort of understand that as, years ago when I was at school, five of the "hard lads" in my year decided to give me a kicking for no real reason other than they were just ****ers, and fractured a vertebrae. As well as inflicting other more superficial injuries too. That hurt somewhat...

That it does. I meant to mention that too.

If the tailgate window is partly down I find it gets a bit fumy. All the way down, and it's mostly OK. To be completely fume-free, I lower one of the front windows a bit and that sorts it out, as Sing sez. To be honest, I find the "airflow through the car" method far more effective than air-con...

Oh, that won't be too good. Fingers crossed for you that it IS healing OK. Regarding everything else - no, the lawn isn't finished. Other half is just getting the mower out now tho :D Yeah, I had some very odd dreams last night, almost nightmareish in fact. Maybe I will stop taking the...

Nice upgrade. Sadly, even if I had something like that available I still couldn't drive it for now! Hope your arm mends soon.

Yep, thought I might get a few like that :D

Cheers guys. Thanks for the advice too. Other half's not exactly looking forward to driving everywhere tho. Question is, should I let her use my motor some of the time to "stop it from seizing up" (her words)...? :) Or should we just stick to her Ford Fusion and I just hobble out occasionally...

Hospital strength cocodamols for me at the moment. I have tried the paracetamol/ibuprofen trick before on the advice of my doctor when I came back from a holiday with both ears infected. Definitely worked, so I shall resort to that if I need to once the cocodamols run out. Not overly happy at...

...right ankle yesterday while gardening. I missed a hole in the ground, put my foot in it, twisted my ankle over and heard it snap over the sound of the petrol strimmer!! Father's Day and my 11th anniversary too. Great day :mad: So, no Freelandering for me for 6wks+ until I'm out of plaster...

Mine went straight through its MOT this week. 4th time in five MOTs for me. The only failure was on emissions a couple of years ago. Reckon that was the start of my injector that eventually failed earlier this year.

I think the general idea is to mark the prop front and back so that it goes back on the same way to avoid potential balancing problems. Can't say this has ever caused me any problems, but with another vehicle, who knows? :) Try not to flex the whole prop assembly when taking it off to avoid...

The more I think about it, the more I reckon you're right. I shall get some supplies tomorrow:)

I've got to dismantle bits to put a new set of cables on the window winder mechanism. The plastic vapour barrier is pretty knackered anyway, but I fear it will be completely shagged by the time I've finished doing the job. So are there custom made ones available, anyone know? If not I'll...

Nope, you can get them from motor factors. ...but, before you go down that purchasing route, you can prove/disprove it by spraying freeze spray on it. If it starts when the sensor is cold, but not warm, then it probably IS the sensor at fault. If not, get a leak-back test done as it'll more...

Blimey, that is good value! Should keep you going for a while too :D
