They called me yesterday to see if I was around (etyres) and said they could do them there and then if I wanted. Went for a run to Essex and back and they feel great. Shame I think I've got a transmission overheating issue now... :) Still, she's going back in for suspension work and tracking...

Well. I got my coolant temperature issue looked at last week at the garage (lrr.co.uk) along with a service etc. She's going back next week for some bushes / roll bar / suspension / tracking bits and she was to have her transmission serviced. I got 4 new tyres on her yesterday. Friday I was...

So many people seem to think that if they don't buy a premium brand they're putting themselves at risk. It's ridiculous how much extra they are for very little improvement.

You know what I probably should have asked them that when he said they'd sorted it and it wasn't the head gasket..... Ooops. I'll ask him when I go back next week. Sorry!

Yes sorry I usually put that in my first post. 03 l322 4.4

To be fair I'm still getting used to driving a big bus. I've only ever had saloons other than the brutal landys we used to drive in the RAF but they didn't go faster than 50 in the first place! Turning corners takes a little more planning in one of these than my old 3 series estate. I did have...

Thanks Datatek. :)

Hey everyone. Got the old girl back from LRR (london range rovers lrr.co.uk) and they've done a good job on her with a few things on the report which she's getting done in fortnight. Before I take her back I need to get some next tyres on her. She's got 4 different ones on her and there's...

Very happy with the garage, reasonable cost and every car in there was a land rover so they've got plenty of experience. It was a recommendation from this site that sent me to them. They did what I had asked them to do and gave me a list of recommended bits (various ball joint / anti-roll links...

Just got the old girl back from the garage (London Range Rovers (lrr.co.uk)) and they've done a great job with all the 'immediates' and come back wtih various ball joint / anti-roll links needing replacing so I'm getting them done week after next. Hopefully it'll all be gone then. :) (Very...

I've just got her back from LRR (london range rovers) and they say they've fixed it so we'll see. On the whole I was really impressed with the garage. Thanks for all the posts.

Thanks for that Saint. I watched the video but the strange thing with my old girl is that there's no water whatsoever coming out of the expansion tank and the pipes don't seem to get rock hard at any stage. I too have no sludge / mayonnaise and she's not using any coolant / oil. I'll keep my...

Quick update. I've not had any problems whatsoever with the coolant temperature until yesterday. I was driving around town and I noticed it creeping up again. Low and behold the 'coolant temperature' warning came up and it again went down and up quite rapidly when I moved off etc. I finished my...

Thank you Datatek, I've got an allcomms, would I be able to see if it was faulty with that at all please?

Thanks very much for both of those. I've called the garage (lrr range rovers) and mentioned it to them. Hopefully they will be able to sort it.

So. I was out in the old girl over the weekend, drove up to kings lynn and back to London and she was a dream to drive (other than the shimmy I've covered in another post but I just stayed at 68 mph and she was as smooth as anything.) Anywho, it was quite warm on Sunday and I had the air con...

Hey folks. I've got a shudder / shimmy that comes from the nearside front wheel when on the motorway if I go over 70'ish. I don't think it's tracking / balancing as I can't drive through it. The shudder / shimmy gets worse instead of disappears. There's also quite a 'clunk' comes from there...

Well I picked her up and she looks stunning. I'm really pleased with what they delivered. I'm half and half about getting a few other tiny niggles done but I'll wait until she's been to the garage and then see what that costs me first! :)

Well I sloped off from the restoration place as I had to start work so I'm hoping that it's all done when I get back. :) As for the 'flappy' thing, I think it can be two different things. I bought two sets of these: Freelander Land Rover mirror motor gear repair kit - mirror control motor...
