Mine does it this time of year, very frustrating when I've got <4 mins to get to the fire station - so I keep a pile of towels by the front door, if my pager goes off during the night I grab one so I can wipe the inside of the window. However last year I used a couple of silicone heater mats...

I've owned a variety of cars over the years from Alfa Romeos, to diesel VW Passats, 5 series BMW's and so on. All the owner forums are obviously full of owners trying to find solution to problems with their cars and I don't really see here as any different - apart from an extra level of...

Mine was bought when my company used to do weekend shows, nearly always ****ed down which meant my Alfa 156 and trailer (or caravan) would need towing off the muddy fields. However since I stopped doing the shows we've considered going back to an estate car but the pros of the TD4 out weigh the...

Hi All, I had a problem with lumpy running at constant revs and idle issues which turned out to be the connections between my Synergy 2 and the car - cleaning and refitting solved the problem but recently it has returned so I have removed the synergy box and all is good again - but close to...

Join a group such as FairFuelUK who at least are trying to do something about it - remember it will increase later this year. Write to your local MP and complain too. Or do nothing and accept it!

Last weekend I decided to have a last ditch effort at fixing the running issues with my car - firstly I removed all the Synergy stuff again and started the engine, a bit less lumpy but still not great. Replaced fuel filter and the oil breather and started again. No noticeable difference so...

I'm pretty certain I need to get a new injector, new crankcase breather has been fitted and didn't have an effect on this problem. Last chance check over this weekend and if nothing comes up then I will order a new injector. It has been getting worse and I've noticed the idle becoming lumpier...

Hi All, Noticed for a while that I've got a whistling interior fan, however doing some google searches have highlighted it could be a hole within the fan casing. But... It only happens when the air con is switched on (and fans), turn the air con off but leave the fans on and it stops. So is...

I've used privilege in the past and they were good - didn't have the misfortune to need to claim through them so no experience there. Companies like the AA insurance are always high if you deviate in anyway from their "model" driver. Worst company was Elephant, with whom I had a fire in a...

It must be linked to some form of taxing/insurance type clause - when we had our caravan we parked it outside the day before departing to load up and charge up/get the fridge cold for beer. Never had an issue with that. The previous owner had fitted LED marker lights to the caravan which...

Good - was the one I bought first time round from a dodgy trader in Windsor - had been clocked by 40K - I did get my money back.

I used to have a large box trailer and on occasion I had to leave it on the road outside the house. I bought two sets of very cheap led bike lights and stuck them to the corners of the trailer, so two white front facing markers and two red rear facing markers. Worked perfectly. Might not be...

Superb. Do that in a town in this country and either: a) no one will notice or b) a riot will kick off.

Fair enough, I guess the Freelander is the prettiest of the bunch, but they are not really designed with beauty in mind. Mind you I used to have an Alfa 75 which I thought was pretty!

Stumpy aerial arrived yesterday and around town works very well - got a trip to Eastleigh tomorrow so will see as I pass the Basingstoke to Winchester dead spot on the M3... Looks a bit better than the standard one too - not that I really care what it looks like, it is a Land Rover so never...

Probably coz I broke it with 8x4 sheets of ply when building my workshop - certainly moved a lot for the last few months before finally snapping off!

Can't help with regards auto, as standard the TD4 isn't bad, certainly quick enough for most situations. With regards no history, you can get all the MOT information from the direct.gov (I think) website, you'll need the V5 to do this but at least you can check the mileage and if it ever...

I've just bought both types on ebay - going on holiday in June with a roof box fitted - would be nice to have the radio on and not listen to bang bang all the time as the aerial hits the roof box - don't want it sticking right up in case anyone thinks I'm a CBist!

Which, if you read all the link disco_mikey posted shows that they are not going to become illegal, so don't worry! Mine had its MOT a couple of weeks ago (EGR removed and Synergy box - not a problem).

Crockett007, not Y97 JFO by any chance?!
