My renewal is coming up in a few months, so you are giving me hope. But a lot can change in that time. Has anybody tried those 4x4 insurers advertised in LR magazines and the green laneing ones (if you do receive them), how do those compare for you?

Chaps, help needed. Took the car out to the gas station prior to MOT this morning. I got half way there before ABS Traction failure light comes on. Nanocom job at test centre, no faults to clear however lights reset. Test goes ahead (though tester not impressed with pedal) anyway ‘38 failed on corroded off side brake pipes. On way home, bong, abs and tc lights on again…nano, no faults. I fitted a new ABS sensor as part of the ball joint process, and the fuse box was replaced fault finding the srs light issue. Could this be a brake position sensor as the brakes appear to be working? Next time I go out it’ll probably clear, but likely will come on again.

Pump is the usual 3 presses and accumulator sparks up.
When did you last change the fluid?

It’s getting new brake pipes next Monday so hopefully then.
If you give it a proper flush, I'm sure that solved an issue on mine. Don't know if it was the old fluid or crap in the system

Do you think this could be duff fluid?
Or sludge

How rude
Yep. Old.. really old fluid can get rather nasty

Betterer ask the garage to run new fluid through instead of just topping off.
It really can't hurt. Make sure they get all 3 bleed nipples on the modulator

They do a few RR and there was an L320 waiting for repair. I would hope they know how to bleed the brakes with them being process driven vice furthest first.

It could. I have sorted 2 cars recently where the clutch stopped disengaging, both times replacing the fluid cured the problem.

A man from Autoglass came back out as, after they replaced the passenger window last week (big old crack in it when we got it back from airport parking, who are denying all knowledge
) nothing on the passenger door is working. Central locking, folding mirrors, mirror dipping when in reverse, nada. Weirdly the window switch is working on the passenger side, but not responding from the switch on the driver’s side. And the driver’s mirror is still folding in when I push the special button, but the passenger mirror is very easy to fold in by hand. Like the gearing has gone. Autoglass man couldn’t fix it, says the error was there when they came out to replace the window last week (I can’t actually prove that it wasn’t)…and now the Range Rover won’t start! Cranks, then doesn’t crank then I get the Gearbox Fault Transmission Limited message. Lots of unpleasant noises from behind the dash. Never done that before! I’ve walked away and will try again in the morning. Great fun.

Can't comment on the window or mirror but the non starting & gearbox fault is typical of low battery voltage.A man from Autoglass came back out as, after they replaced the passenger window last week (big old crack in it when we got it back from airport parking, who are denying all knowledge
