They nearly got me too but it was the lungs in my case.Totally agree Keith, especially the fags. One of the reasons for my heart attack

Owning Land Rovers for along time probably drove me to drink and smokesNo wonder I can afford a P38 - teetotal and lifelong non-smoker.
On the other hand the amount I've spent on motorbikes over the years.....
I put some diesel in it ,first time for ages, thought I had a hole in the tank.the last time I put fuel in a car was in the Canaries, topped the hire car to full with €30 at 1.61 a ltd.went to pay handed in €50 and the girl gave me €25 change,I pointed out the mistake in case it came out of her wages.She thanked me but gave me a leaflet showing me that over 20ltrs qualified for a discount.happy days.
Nah no discount just didn't put as much in as I usually do.So you must of got a heathy discount in the UK then.
Or was it "here sir take a few drags on this oxygen bottle".

Depending where you are in Oxfordshire, if not too far I know a good Land Rover garage in Warwickshire that would almost certainly sort your persistent fault out. Other than me, I don't trust anywhere else to do the work on mine now!Hi all,
Just to butt in and in not in order backlog since purchasing the vehicle a few months ago:
Cheers.
- garage review
- change of bonnet and boot strats
- changes of alloys (turned out to be an adventure in itself :/)
- wax and inside deep clean
- LPG servicing
- a few green laning trips (plenty of scratches to serve as proof :/)
- two separate trips re non-working rear sensors to the garage - still not fixed, not going back to that garage again...
- trip to south of Wales with a little bit of green laning
- loads of fueling up
- a few trips for work
- second attempt at paperwork with the beloved DVLA
- finding solution to music AUX issue
- fixing sun visors
- a number of skip runs & transportation of bulky items
Is the depression control valve clear Jack? If it is I think you will have to remove the cam cover and clean the wire mesh fitted to it,lots of torque screws and a very mucky job.if the wire screen is blocked then pressure will build up.good luck.You won’t be disappointed spending on the gates stuff.
Took her out in the rain to wash off. £25 of fuel went up 1/4, less by time I got back.
Somehow I’m getting oil pushed through the fairly tight seal of the oil filler cap. There’s a substantial trickle over the cam cover going down to the FIP. What could be blocked up to cause pressure in there like that can’t be just splattering about is there a breather somewhere I don’t know about, the iacv should be fairly clean
As above ^^^^^^^ Or if the oil separator is external, that could be blocked, or the pipes may not be sealing well.Is the depression control valve clear Jack?

With the ammount of duty I've paid over the years as a street racing, chainsmoking, borderline / high functioning alcholic, I ought to get an OBE, and they better hurry up with it as people of this lifestyle don't last longNo wonder I can afford a P38 - teetotal and lifelong non-smoker.

You could buy a cheap battery maintainer if you have somewhere to connect it close to where you park her up, they've really come down in price in recent years.Nothing. Left her at home, whilst dog and I walked to farm. All these short hops upset her, and leaving the engine running upsets me. Trying to decide if it's cheaper to change battery every few months , than use up fuel, to keep battery happy. At over £240 a tank, beginning to look like battery sacrifice is on cards.
