Nice! The black ones really shine up well...

How many miles done post head gasket being sorted? Is it drinking coolant at all any more? Who did the HG job?

Bugger! Gits!

I remember using Redex on my 2000 XEi 1.8 auto petrol and also an older Cavalier 1.6 that were averagely good on the mpg beforehand and the mpg plummeted after using the stuff? Not so much of a plummet for the freelander but the Cavalier went from doing over 600 per tank to around 475 miles per...

Wasn't there a gunpoint robbery of £10,000 cash or more not a week ago with a young couple arriving at an address and ringing to say we are here with cash for the car: only for vehicles to turn up, block them in, bash the guy about and point a gun at the girlfriend with the cash in her lap? Do...

Ebay can be a funny place indeed! And when something dodgy goes on they (Ebay) never actually do anything about it...

;)

I have to say, honestly! I've never adjusted it. I know it's dumb... Maybe my mirror is simply REALLY stiff?!? But I tried ordinarily when I got the vehicle over a year ago and in the end thought: It must be fixed. I had the same in my Jag XK8 - so maybe that was a real stiffy also, which again...

Well I never... :D I need a manual just like the one you've got! :cool:

Ah: very interesting about the battery - yes! That makes complete sense. I had the same probs with a Jag HK8, which probably had cheap batteries, until I upgraded it, then lots of electro probs went away - until someone offered me so much Wonga for it I simply had to let it go! Crikey: pulling...

So glad I just happened across this. So manual adjust then. I've been looking at the actual rear seats (not the backrests) in the rear view mirror for over a year now - being such tall wally, with this stiffy item. :D

Crikes that's a job well done, RR: that you got your Landy (we don't have a confirmed name for ours yet) diagnosed/sorted when the mechanic was left scratching his mechanical engineering head and, as you say, with the gracious help of the many peeps of Landyzone!!! What an achievement. Whereas...

That's the hard fact of owning such a beast - I guess. :rolleyes:

Sounds great having the local guy as you mention - at least enthusiastic it seems - to help look after your vehicle: and not bump up the price simply because of the name of it... I have two LR RR specialists garages at 5-minutes and 40-minutes distance, but both have proved unworthy of the LR RR...

Yes I'll have to get some piccies of the beastie up here, RR... To be honest, even though I've had her (the RR) for over a year now, we've never actually taken any pics of her. The only pics I have are the ones taken at the Land Rover '''specialist''' garage whom I purchased her from, when she...

:rolleyes: Cheers!

Thanks hippo... Nice to be here. I guess you have to bring the smiley faces and that from outside the forum?!? I got my wrist slapped a few days ago here for using (LOL) as I couldn't find a way of showing I was genuinely smiling, and not angry. Oh-well... Have a good day!

Thanks for that info Henry... I'll keep this until I next go to the garage I trust most at the moment - write it down and present it. I'll wager he'll still scratch his head and look vacant though. I found a link and lots of big pics of how to remove the EGR cooler - blimey what a load of...

Did six trips to the local tip (covered the rear boot with sheet first and removed the rear flip cover for the first time) as an excuse to go for a drive. The misses also accompanied me - as she loves the TDV8 Westminster RR just as much as myself. Had to rummage around to find additional...

Yes sorry for the long intro, Henry... I've deleted most of the more problematic stuff I added. Got a bit carried away - sorry!
