Hi All, Have looked at similar threads but still have problem. Runs great until the vehicle idled for a while like stuck in traffic then there is no power, pulling out from a junction is dangerous then as soon as been cruising for a short while everything back to normal. Just been...

Agreed a deal for a 13 plate freelander, last land rover product I had was a while ago a P38, hopefully won't be underneath this one as much lol.

Hi all, looking at an 08 Disco with 84k full service history 1 owner but will need timing belt done, at least I would know the oil pump upgrade would be done or 13 freelander with 98k full service history 2 owners, both would do me but looking for advice from people who have had both. Million...

Hi all, years since I have been on here, going to be looking for a series 11a later in the year when I have finished the house. Need advice on what to look for, diesel or petrol, 88 inch or 109 inch, or is it a case of take whats available, hoping to get one that has original engine if possible...

Hi all, been a while since last on here as have had a x5 for the last 18 months, it has been great but have really missed my old P38 so its time to get the green oval back, question is L322 or sport. What is the most reliable the 4.4 or the 4.2, I presume the 4.4 is BMW and the 4.2 is Jag...

Hi guys, got some penetrating oil called baufix from Lidl, great stuff am very impressed. Davie

Hi guys, ok been home for a few days and after the last oil change in the box with lucas added my box now only flares when really cold or when using kickdown from 4-3 and then flares for about a second changing back up. If I drive with 3 selected I can gun it from a standing start and get crisp...

Changed gearbox fluid and filter, gave everything a good clean out as the fluid was absolutly filthy (worse than the original) even though it was changed about 1500 miles ago and added a bottle of Lucas transmission fix. Went for a 100 mile run to get it circulating and the box is a bit better...

140 mile round trip today, 5 miles from home box would not change gear or kick down, gearbox display on binnacle was out and sport button would not work. Got home and it would go in reverse and park, stopped the engine and display said gearbox fault so pulled the key out, put key back in and...

Put the Alfa in for its mot and was speaking to the tester about the upcoming changes, apparently the new rules have not been signed of by the ministry yet. He also told me that if tow bars are fitted then the electrics will be a failure if the plug does not work right. On the upside he agreed...

Spotted a very small leak at the front of the car so upon investigation found it came from the power steering pipe from pump to reservior, thing is when I disturbed the pipe it started to **** out where it was retained by a plastic clip below and behind the rad, the wear was very bad and it gave...

Was giving her the gun on the dueler when the temp suddenly rose, not quite into the red, so heaters on full and limped into the nearest lay by to see coolant pouring out onto the deck. Bleed pipe from rad to expansion tank had popped off so refilled system. temp then would not steady out (going...

Hi guys, going to do an oil and filter change on the auto box when I get home next time, I take it that atf/dextron 3 is the correct fluid for a 2.5dt. I don't have a hand book for the recomended fluid so thought I better ask. I take it that the filter is pretty straight forward but is...

Hi guys, just jumped across from the RR forum, my Dad fancies a TD4 auto but looking at all the posts looks quite horrific but then if you look at the posts for the P38 no one would buy one, I did and love it. So when looking at a TD4 what are the common things to look out for other than the...

My ongoing saga of the test plug not communicating I found a broken wire (Brown) after tracing the wires through at a white plug in the drivers footwell right hand side. Sorted it and it is now communicating and for some reason has also canceled the SRS light. Now found out that I need a new ABS...

Still have issues with my ABS & SRS lights, as posted before the motor has been into 3 garages and cannot get the diagnostic plug to work, local garages do not seem intrested so have decided this time home to check all the wireing. I read also that a low voltage can cause all sorts of problems...

3 garages later and no further ahead:(, all said that they don't pick anything up when they plug into the socket in the passengers footwell, last one said he traced it through so he suspects the ABS ECU, thing is it does not power up any machine but the last one said his has its own power source...

Ok local garage plugged into the diagnostic plug in the passenger footwell and could get no power or signal, went to another who tried 2 machines, one which had its own power source and nothing so suppose its off to an auto electrician unless someone has had this problem and solved it.:( Cheers...

Thank you for your e-mail enquiry dated 23rd February 2011, concerning new MOT rules. EU Regulation 2010/48 refers to inappropriate repair or modification to springs or stabilizers and I presume that is what you are referring to. This (and others) is component specific e.g. the springs...

Changed all the discs and pads, at the same time cleaned up the calipers, de-siezed the sliders and bled the system through as per the procedure. Got about 3/4" movement on the pedal and the car stops great:D, tried stopping hard from 60 and no skidding or pulling, you can feel the abs cutting...
