Traction and airbag are due to the battery and you have a leak in the EAS and/or a knackered pump. Nothing serious LOL
A Range Rover is not a car, it's a hobby:rolleyes:

if a vehicle wasnt supposed to break down, spare parts wouldnt be made. i have a range rover with 270000 miles on the clock it has given me some trouble but considering the work and hard life i have given it , i have to say it is a good machine, the body is as clean and rust free as the day it was made, i dont think any other 4x4 on the market would look as good after 18 years. there are plenty boring alternatives out there. there is no such thing as something totally trouble free
sorry about the rant :D

Blagged a set of old Michelin Synchrone of me mates dad. Turns out they are from 2002 and are pretty much shagged. Plenty of tread but 3 have cracking.
Ordered a set of Kingpins for the week coming. Fitted the rest of the carpets and then hid inside the boot with dog as the rain came on.

Rant away,glad your rover experience has been so good, I hate driving this car, I can only assume the single previous owner never so much as look at this car and used indie's for servicing that didn't actually do the job, it's got 69 k on the clock and sounds like its done 500k, it squeaks, and whines rattles and grumbles, I got mugged over on this car to the tune of nearly 3k, from the inside with the windows shut its quiet, from the outside it turns heads and that's bugger all to do with how good it looks which is about its only saving grace, it's got new discs and pads all round, new uj's all round new oe air springs refurbed pump and seals on eas, new tensioner and belt etc etc I've done less than 600 miles in it since I bought it and that's probably gonna be all I do in it, it's spent more time off the road than on it. ........ That's enough ranting for now ..... Apologise for hijacking this thread

Frostytel, you bought a 15 year+ old car which would have cost £40k+ new for £3k? Did you expect it to be totally reliable? Sorry to be harsh but I think for whatever reasons your expectations were not set at the appropriate level.
 
Today I fitted a new cubby box damper and finally got the DVLA letter through which has allowed me to put my private plate on the Range Rover. Thoroughly satisfying if you're as vain and shallow as I am. :D

Not a thing, as ever she is super reliable. As she has been standing all week (finally get to return the company car) I just checked fluids and pressures. All good in the hood. Got another epic adventure due in a few days and it'll be nice to do it in luxury. :D
