Surely you mean 10 minutes not 10 years?Man that sucks....just think once you all these things replaced, you'll have a sorted L322 for another 10 years!!!

Well the wife picked the rangie up from the garage today. Apparently the wheel bearing was the worst he had seen in a very long time. Completely collapsed.
Not sure how they didn't pick it up when they did the rack, or how the garage that did the tracking didn't pick it up. Anyways its all sorted.
£186 inc parts labour and vat
Oh well ****e happens!
Sounds about right!

Just back from two weeks in Scotland (Isle of Skye) lots of exploring but the Range Rover was perfect with no problems at all (Good Car). Loads of produce from the local pier in Dunvegan including massive crab claws, some lobster and a box of langoustines (big prawns). Good pubs too.

MOT.....and Failed -
Two Front tyres (was hoping they were just about passable)
Handbrake Efficency only 12%
Replaced the tyres and set about adjusting the Handbrake....did it as per RAVE but didn't seem to hold....readjusted, and now can be held in Drive on the Handbrake on the last click...just hope that is adjusted enough for the MOT...find out Friday!

What a PITA!
I adjusted the handbrake on my disco the other day, nice to have one that works!
What tyres did you for?
After having to replace the ABS ECU, I had to opt for cheap as chips, if it gives a years ticket - happy days....
I don't tear around nor excessivley Off Road at the moment, so cheap boots will suffice for a few months!

That's tough, just had to replace 2 tyres on the Transit to get it through the MOT and I'm hoping the P38 tyres will scrape through next month as i would prefer to get a set in the UK when we are over in June, they are much cheaper in the UK than France.
Same - After replacing the ABS ECU...was hoping to scrape through on the tyres as I knew they where marginal and could do without another £250 bill this month - but needs must!!

If you've only replaced two tyres with cheapies aren't you concerned about rolling radius compared to the old ones?
Got new on the rear from the month previous so no difference...

drove it to work, no problems. drove it home, got an intermittent misfire! GRRRRRR
try and get it on nanocom later and see if anything pops its ugly head up at me.
oh, and had my new snap on tool box and tools arrive. think it was that, that made the RR a bit jealous
still leaning towards the cam. looks like the hammer has to meet the piggy bank soon.

Fitted a Double S cat back stainless exhaust system after cutting the remains of the old system off with an angle grinder.
Impressed with the fit and overall quality, the pipe from the centre box back is larger diameter than OEM, a massive 66mm The two rear boxes are much neater than the dustbin sized OEM units. It's very quiet and maybe I'm imagining it but the turbo seems to get going at lower revs.
A 500 kilometre trip coming up on Saturday to the south of France and if the bloody thing is still going, a 500Km return the following week

Yes it's Trish lol. Had a new trolley box, wobbly extensions, 1/4 drive ratchet, crawling board, scrapers, service kit in 1/4 & 3/8 lol.
Its intermittent Wil. But happening more when pulling out of a junction. If very light on pedal you cant notice it. Give it a bit and its almost as though its lost power to a cylinder. Back of and back on again and away it goes till you back off again.
Gonna check with nanocom over weekend and see if it's throwing any misfires up.
