We have a 2004 L322 Vogue a when we try and fold the wing mirrors in (i.e. park them)(we have a narrow driveway) they fold back and then ‘bounce’ open again. Any ideas what the problem is and how it may be corrected? The ‘angle down on reverse’ on the nearside mirror works ok btw. Any advice...

Oops - I meant wing mirrors not rear view. Rod

Anybody? Out driveway is rather narrow and it's only a matter of time until the nearside wing mirror gets scraped. R

That's great thanks Modelman, we were working along the right lines (albeit with the glass still inside the door) but didn't give it quite enough "whack".

We have a 1993 3.9 litre petrol/LPG Vogue SE. The window carrier channel in the front nearside door rusted through and failed and we have obtained a replacement from Famous Four (next day service, excellent). We’re having difficulty, however fitting the window into the carrier. There is a...

One thing to consider is the length of your typical journey. You should run the car on petrol until the engine is warm, so if many of your journeys are short you'll be on petrol much of the time and not see the potential savings. Other than that LPG is great in our 1993 Vogue SE,.

Update - we've found a loose connection on the alternator and the battery had gone flat. The battery's on charge so we'll see tomorrow if all is well.

Thanks for the reply Panos. No we haven't changed anyything recently. And the problem's just got more acute. Driving along the motorway the speedo and radio were repeatedly coming on and off and now she won't start at all (but get a kind of fluttering noise as I try). I agree it does sound...

We have a 1993 3.9 litre petrol/LPG Vogue SE. Over the last few days the air suspension has been very slow to rise and on occasions it has dropped while the car was moving .Now the rev counter from time to time drops to zero (while the engine continues to run normally) and all the lights on...

Thanks Simon. The reason why I'm looking to install this particular unit is that I'm considering transferring it from my Rover 75 so I can control an iPod from the HU. There's actually an Alpine HU in it at the moment and the only problem we have with that is that it is sometimes reluctant to...

I'm considering installing an ALPINE CDE-9850Ri HU in a Ranger Rover Classic (1993). However the Alpine manual says that the HU should not be installed more than 30 degrees from the horizontal whereas the opening in the RR is around 60 deg. Does anybody have any experience in installing this HU...

Your comments are an great help. My garage have discussed liners with me because my RR has LPG and at the moment the engine has very fine hair line cracks in it so it might be Turners after all. Many thanks!

My 1993 3.9 litre engine has a crack in one of its cylinders. I'm considering replacing it with a reconditioned unit from ultimategowns uk aka V&J Engineering (item 280041255358 on eBay) for £1000. Turner, who have been recommended elsewhere on this forum, charge about twice this figure. Has...

Thanks for the information. I 'll get to work on this at the weekend an dlet you know how it goes. When she is good she is very very good but when bad is horrid!! The cubic inches make up for it all.

The drivers memory electric seat has stopped working. Some time ago I noticed a thread which read - "The seat ecus seem to failing so I took mine apart and there is a rechargeable battery on board which had leaked and rotted the circuit board" Anybody have any other ideas? I wonder if it could...

Thanks Matt, I have tried Motor World without success; maybe I need to try one of the specialist places.

To offer some information that may be of help to others - We have fitted JBL GTO506ce Component Speakers - the woofer into the lower speaker location with minimal modification to the door panel and the tweeter to the triangular panel to the front of the window and JBL GTO426e 4" Speakers...

I’ve just tried to fit some JBL GTO426e 4" Speakers into the front door of a 1993 RR Classic (the uppermost speaker) and although the speaker diameter and fixings are spot on the magnet is too large a diameter for the rebate. Can anybody suggest any speakers which might fit please?
