    What would you swap your rangie for?

    Well, I had to face this question, and swop my P38, or sleep disrupter, as its more aptly called, and no matter how I tried, I couldnt choose anything else, but another Rangie, so here we go again...... This time a 2003 Vogue 4.4 will be gracing me with her beauty in about a weeks time..

    Well it seems I will have to trade this car in. I am sad about it, as I was determined to win this battle of wits, but I cant find the answer. I cant force myself away from RR though, so I will check out a newer one. Having to mess around with the RF box every time I have to go out and about...

    The RF could be faulty, I agree, but my keys are also a bit on the chewed side. They are No's 1 & 2 and both worked well, but when the car came home, instantly both stopped working. The LR Specialists I used are well known and just around the corner from me, the car was there for 3 weeks, and...

    Well I tried the other key, nothing.. This morning I went out, used the original key held against the rear side window and it unlocked the car, but on starting, I had the same message, key fob battery low. I tried to repeat the excercise with the other key.. nothing. At least I can get her...

    Hi Data.. Well here we go again......haha I opened her up, with the key, and went to check the RF cable (blue one), which was out, the other one is in. So, I tried the same thing I did when first this problem appeared, I put the RF back... and lo and behold she started. The only message I...

    Well guys, as I have only just got my Rangie back, I thought it was time for an update.. No fault found on battery discharge.. everything worked A OK for several weeks while it was in the garage. Although they did leave the RF wire off. I had the rear air bags done, an oil leak done, and the...

    Well, today I have been to chat with Cheviot 4 x 4 and we have agreed, they are going to do the worst of the airbags now and the oil leak from the front, then next month I will get the other airbags done, and the leak from the transfer box done. And hopefully after that, she will be happy for a...

    Wammers thats very interesting, as this car did have a few issues over suspension. When I took it for a test drive, I stopped after driving a hundred yards, as the suspension was going up and down like a yo yo and making some terrible sounds, the garage blamed me for fiddling with settings...

    Rangiegal.. glad to meet another female around here.. and thank you for the encouragement, without you all I think I would have given in and just handed her back to the dealer to sell on my behalf, which would have not been a good idea. Hoarec thank you so much for the pics, yes that was most...

    A huge thanks from one Chris to another....lol I had to use pliers as the darn thing wouldnt move, and then all hell broke out, alarms went off, engine disabled warnings, and despite using the remote I couldnt get things to work, so I put the cable back in.

    Guys, I did it, I got the pliers and pulled the blue wire out, but, I couldnt get rid of the Engine Disabled warning, even by using the remote, it just wouldnt go, and I had the alarm going off continuously, so I put it back in place, and this was when I saw the battery was totally flat again...

    Kwik Fit changed the battery, and on advice I received from an A1 member here, I took her straight around to Cheviot 4 x 4 who specialise is Land Rovers. So she has been there since yesterday morning. Tonight they phoned to say, they cannot find anything wrong, she is starting first time every...
