Yeah it only went in for the ball joints but we decided to do an MOT whilst it was in. It's due in two weeks anyway.

Yes he called when he noticed it, he said he couldn't pass it without looking first so I gave the go ahead. He said it could have been done properly by removing the cat and just smashing the inside out with a big screwdriver and nobody would have been any of the wiser. It's passed the mot no...

He noticed that both cats had been crudely cut open, bent back and badly welded back together so due to new rules with the mot he had to investigate. He said had it been done properly then nobody would have noticed. It's all logged online now so even if I go elsewhere they have that information...

He took them off to inspect inside them

Ok, so my "bargain" 3.6 tdv8 2010 has just had some bad news, whilst getting some ball joints replaced the mechanic noticed welding on the cats, on closer inspection it seems the insides of the catalytic converters have been removed and welded back up. It this an MOT fail or are the cats...

Hi, ok this rings a bell. I had the doors open for ages the other day while cleaning it and the radio shut down with a low power message on the screen. I'm waiting for a new charger to arrive.

Hi all, so I'm four weeks in to my ownership of my first range rover (a 2010 vogue tdv8) and whilst driving today I had a "suspension fault" pop up along with a "max speed 30mph" warning. I pulled over and the car had set itself to the lowest suspension setting and the ride height selector had...

Gearbox too or just the engine?

My thoughts were that this could help with the slightly slow gear change, it's not been near a garage in 20k so I think it's a better idea than doing nothing as I don't have the service history. I have the service book which is all main dealer stamps but it shows no record of work done

Yes they will check for error codes but they don't have the full kit so once it is out of the shop I will take a drive to the main dealer and get them to plug it in properly. I'm just using this mechanic to do the routine work to get it back up and running smoothly. I will of course use a...

This sounds promising, as far as I can tell the thing is sound and the mad warning light thing makes no sense. It's not been driven for a few months after being traded in and then sold again so I'm hoping it is just a glitch. It's booked in for a full service, new boots, wheel alignment and...

My concern exactly

Hi, yes I noticed that shortly after I was asked to introduce myself. I reposted in the real forum bit. Not to savvy with computers.

Hi everyone, I'm very new both here and to range rover ownership. So... A week ago I bought my first range rover. A 2010 Vogue tdv8. The issue, I picked up my range rover a week ago whilst working in the south of the UK, I drove it trouble free for five days over a hundred miles or so then on...
