Anybody think that the HDC in a TD4 auto lets the vehicle move too quickly before cutting in? Took the FL up onto Dartmoor on New Year's Day with the family and the dog. We usually head up to Princetown but the road was chocabloc so nipped up a side road I know. Nice walk in the snow. Had to...

Replaced the drivers door window regulator yesterday due to the usual broken/rusted/seized wire issue. Pretty simple to do. Job's a good 'un I thought smugly last night. Popped to the shops this morning, pulled the handle to open the door but no affect. Tried locking/unlocking a couple of times...

Slightly random question. I've been offered a stainless steel exhaust back box from a 2.0Di engined FL1 but mine is a TD4. It looks like it should fit but I don't want to take the exhaust apart only to find it doesn't. Any words of comfort/advice before I get the big hammers out?

Clean condition Vogue that needs a replacement gearbox. Trans Failsafe warning came on around a week/10 days ago. Been quoted £1600 for replacement box but I haven't got the time to get it sorted. 142667 miles. Put a new battery and starter motor in about 3 weeks ago. Body is good, rear wheel...

Just bought one of these off the Bay as I'd heard good things about it. Have to say it's a pretty solid bit of kit. Had a quick play with it to reset my "Air susp inactive" warning and it worked a treat. I'd been on a gentle off-roading day in Exmoor and it must have upset something. Reset it...

Nanocom for diesel engine. Excellent condition with lead and aluminum protective cover. No longer needed. £250, will post for free within UK.

OK, spent a couple of hours on Saturday morning replacing the o-rings in my EAS valve block because my compressor was running a lot and this was the last bit to be done on the EAS. I replaced the bags and compressor seals during the summer with new items. Haven't had any problems with the EAS...

My 1998 DSE has had the dreaded DMF shake for a while now and its getting worse. It only happens when the gearbox gets warm but definitely happening on shorter journeys now. I guess the DMF gets more and more worn and then completely fails. With the parts alone being £700 plus it doesn't really...

Just went to use the RR to nip to the shops and greeted with "Gearbox Overheat" message. The engine appears to be disabled as it won't start, won't even turnover. It's not a flat battery or anything as the lights don't dim when you try to start the car. It's a 1998 DSE manual. Tried to see...

Driving home from work on Monday the DSE went from normal to overheating almost immediately. Stopped and let it cool down then drove home in half mile jumps. Luckily I only had a couple of miles to go. I was pretty sure it was the water pump as the overheating was so rapid. The benefit of doing...

This petition is being put forward to reinstate the 25 Year Rolling Classic Car Tax. Thought it might be of interest to us LR/RR owners. Return 25 Year Rolling Classic Car Tax - e-petitions

I'm slowly working through the various minor niggles on my 1998 DSE and found that the viscous fan is defunct. You can stop it with a rolled up paper when the engine is hot. I know you can refill the coupling with new silicon fluid but wondering if worth bothering and just get a new fan? I've...

My 1998 DSE came with two fobs, one old original one and a new one the previous owner got from LR. Both have been working perfectly for the last couple of months. Used the original one on Friday and the dash said fob battery low. Bought some new batteries on Saturday and had to re-synch the fob...

Hi all, been a long term fan of anything with the LR badge on. Brought up on early Series 3's on Dartmoor. Over the years had a number of Series vehicles, some petrol, one with a 3.3 Perkins that ate halfshafts. One with the Perkins Phaser engine from a Montego which was fantastically...

Tried to change the fuel filter today on my 1998 DSE but it just rotated without unscrewing. I guess something has sheared in the housing but can't think what. It's not leaking diesel and runs fine. Never seen inside the housing so just wondered if any of you more experienced owners can hazard a...
