Not on a Landy but my (unmentionable) large replacement SUV! - jut bought a set of the above mentioned tyres, the 18" rims making AT choices thin on the road so I went for what is a road biased mud and snow marked tyre. First impressions - seriously impressed! - on the old Bridgestones the car...

I was having a chin wag with the original owner of the car - and mentioned she'd been relegated to weekend warrior - he wanted to buy her back and I agreed! Sad to see her go - it's been more reliable than I expected and a real hoot to drive over the 50ishK miles I put on the odometer. I love...

Hi Folks - my old girl (99 Thor 4.6) has had an intermittent engine glitch followed by gearbox fault message and once took ages to hot start - I read the codes and "111 engine speed not plausible" was the result. I can safely say my Crank Position Sensor is failing (starting with the usual hot...

Imagine being a Series Lightweight owner breaking the cardinal sin of never greenlaning alone – imagine then getting beached with four wheels in the air with no recovery kit on board, a quick phone call to your Range Rover owning brother asking to be towed out is embarrassing enough – but...

Well I've had 40,000 miles (now on 150K) of very enjoyable and reliable motoring out of a £2K car! As the law of sod would have it - just as I entered a contraflow on the M6 the oil pressure light came on, the contraflow was 6 miles long and I didn't want to stop and block it - by the time I...

Hi folks, I did ask this in the “what did you do today?” thread but didn’t get an answer - so I thought I post to a larger audience! I changed my diff oil recently (about 2K overdue), the oil in the front diff looked like new, the oil in the rear diff was black, does this mean either the rear...

I know someone on here turned some nylon ones at some point - does anyone sell them? I'd like to play with the suspension calibration programme on my Lynx but don't want to risk running it without suitable blocks and I'm far too busy (lazy?) to make some. Ta. Steve.

Following a van on the way to work this morning I noticed he had bald rear tyres. I muttered to myself something about the lack of police on the roads - usual rant. Then my phone rang. I had forgotten to switch bluetooth on so I had to pull over to take the call. Post call I continued my...

Not me, a dark (black?) L322 hit the hazards and pulled over on the 414 heading out of town towards the A10 at about 7pm today - if it's someone here - sorry I couldn't stop - had a appointment I was already late for!

Getting a fault code (pressure switch stuck on) and the EAS is changing height occasionally uncommanded - my gut feeling says EAS driver pack knackered. The compressor seems fine, logging the pressure switch activation, inlet and exhaust values and going for a drive indicates they are actually...

Car started running rough (after filling up with new Shell Nitro!) fuel trims looked out of spec - I reset them with the Lynx. I took screenshots of some of the logged faults and some of the feature screens.

The P38 suspension has a bad rep, the last truly Rover designed and built Range Rover with no partner company interference. I changed my front springs about 6 months ago and finally got around to doing the rears today. Like the fronts they were the original out-the-factory Land Rover branded...

RAVE suggests the upper inlet manifold needs to be removed to change the coils packs on a Thor lump - has anyone managed to change them without doing so? Ta Steve.

Well, not quite a breakdown but the two year, 30K+ mile metronomic reliability of my old girl has come to an end. She started misfiring on the way home from IKEA (I know!) today, a quick check has shown no spark on #7 and a weak spark on #4. So I presume the near side coil pack has broken down...

They reckon we are heading for one of the snowiest and coldest winters on record: Coldest winter in 100 years on way | UK News | Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express Plenty of opportunity to laugh at knobhead BMW drivers.

Lidl are selling their excellent maintenance chargers again this Thursday - they've gone up a whopping £2 to £14.99. LIDL Great Britain - lidl.co.uk I have three of em, two are connected to seldom used vehicles permanently. Superb smart charger at a silly price. When connected permanently...

EuroCarParts have a great offer on, buy QX oil and get a free oil filter, as our cars need over 5 litres - make that two free filters! Enter your make and year of car, click on oil filters and note the part number of the most expensive one (it doesn't matter which one you choose!), go to...

A dark coloured L322 nearly took my brother's Jag out on a roundabout in Hertford last Tuesday, I was following him and witnessed it, he/she (blacked out windows) cut across and took half his lane - by swerving into a luckily empty lane he avoided an accident. I wonder if it's someone off here...

After a relatively trouble-free two year (30K miles) P38 driving stint, I'm going to take three or four months off, this is what P38s hate, occasional use (perhaps twice a week) and sometimes not getting fully up to temp when it is used. What will break first? I have the new RF receiver so at...

Just watched an old Top Gear clip with the P38 against its rivals. Sadly the P38 registration details are not known to the DVLA - so the plate has been changed or it was on false plates for the clip. Even if a car has been scrapped it should still show on the vehicle enquiry. The majority of...
