Good Evening to you all, I am venturing over here from the Range Rover forum where I usually linger, as I am after a little bit of your wisdom on behalf of a friend whose MY2010 Freelander 2 has thrown a bit of a wobbly. From what I can gather the satnav display started to fail, followed by...

I am a willing but very inexperienced mechanic and would be grateful for a very simple guide to replacing the above items, before I take this job on in the morning (all part of the learning process). My '94 V8 Classic has been struggling to start for a while and I have foolishly let it get to...

After a bit of research I thought I would see if swapping the Idle Control Valve on my '94 Softdash V8 auto would solve some of my starting, stalling and unstable revs issues. Instead, the new part provides no idle control at all (!!) and as soon as I take my foot off the throttle the revs just...

Strange whining/squealing coming from under the bonnet. Only happens when the engine is warmed up and it comes and goes. Sounds to me as though it is some sort of valve/vacuum rather than any of the belts. I've even put together a Youtube clip of it: Mysterious squealing noise from Range...

After parting with rather a lot of money last week to have a few bits sorted by my local specialist, I am now losing patience with my '94 'Softdash' V8, which suddenly doesn't want to start. It has always started well in all weathers in the 3 years I have had her, but on Monday it was turning...

I suspect I am answering my own question here, but your input would be appreciated.... My '94 Vogue SE with EAS passed its MOT yesterday (another step nearer to her 20th year!) and the only advisory was a slight 'misting' of the rear shocks. I was wondering if this goes some way to explaining...

Having spent most of the morning with my head buried in the footwell of my '94 Vogue SE and cursed Haines with every bit of colourful language I know for giving the job only '1 spanner', I am waiving the white flag and asking for your help please. The base of the electric seats works in every...

My '94 V8 Auto has developed a VERY loud vibrating/buzzing noise which seems to be coming from the transmission/diffs. It is OK when idling or if the engine is revved in neutral but when in gear, as soon as it gets above about 1500rpm it gets louder and louder and 50mph+ it is almost deafening...

Well the RAC membership finally proved worth having last night on the way back to London from Birmingham.... I suddenly felt a loss of drive whilst travelling down the M1 and was fortunately passing the Northampton exit, so managed to limp off the motorway and into a lay-by. I also noticed the...

I finally got round to looking at the subwoofer in my '94 'softdash' and as the poor stereo quality suggested, the thing is not working at all. I have removed the cover, checked the fuse (which is fine) and the wires look OK, but I didn't have the right tools with me to get to the inner cover...

This started a couple of month ago as an occasional thing and they would both go off if I pulled over and restarted the engine. More recently they are remaining permanently on. I cannot see anything in the manual that says this combo of warning lights means anything specific and it just says...

I am a fairly new owner of a '94 Classic having hankered after one for.... well forever really. Used to run an Alfa 166, which was a bit different and good fun (and thankfully not too much trouble). I'd welcome any tips on convincing the missus that this V8 monster makes sense as I am running...
