    P38A Insurance prices getting silly

    Crikey Mikey, mine is £650, garaged in my sisters house out in buckinghamshire because that is where I stay a lot, particularly during my convalesance. I used to insure it from here in London which is a gated compound but they wanted £2,400 this time. I have 15 years NC and no driving...

    Key fob not functioning after battery change

    Thanks for the info Guys, ironically my spare key, which I was told didn't work well from 'mad max' who I brought the car from and has been looked after by my youngest son in case of emergency or if his old duffer of a Dad lost the original, works perfectly! But I will sync both keys on a nice...

    Key fob not functioning after battery change

    Evening All, I just replaced the battery on my key fob for our 2006 L322 3.0 Tdi Vogue, but took a while doing it. End result battery in, red light shines when attempting to use remote, however it doesn't work! Is there a 'cunning' easy fix and is the a common issue for numptys like me? Hope...

    What I Did NOT Do With My Rangey And Insurance hikes!

    Thanks all for good wishes, I had never been to a hospital until 2 years ago, and had NEVER had a heart problem. It goes to show that you need to be diligent regarding your health when you hit sniper alley (65 onwards!) One comfort was that the Old girl was in the car park waiting, started on...

    What I Did NOT Do With My Rangey And Insurance hikes!

    No one probably noticed, but I have been 'off site' for a while, our Rangey being parked up in the car park of Chelsea & Westminster hospital since two days before Christmas! Unfortunately I had to 'book myself in' to the 'heart attack hotel' from the 23rd of Dec through to the 6th of January...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Yesterday we finally managed to replace the drivers control pack for windows and locking, unfortunately it doesn't 'communicate' with N/S passenger mirror, but I can live with all windows and doors working AND the courtesy lowering button works again once more....wish all the bells and whistles...

    EPM what a nightmare..!!

    If you have tried all other options, try puttng the auto box into neutral instead of park before attempting to unlock. Then move to park and then back to neutral a few times. We had a similar issue yesterday after fitting new drivers side window and central locking cluster. When I applied the...

    To Super Diesel Or Not To Super Diesel?

    So 'Garage' people and those supposedly in the know tend to recommend using super diesel. Of course they don't have to pay the extra premium when I am filling up! The price differential is quite extreme so I started wondering if it is really worth using Super Diesel or Diesel plus, whatever name...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    If I hadn't been on A/T's I think it would have trashed my front suspension....as our one is also 'jacked' up by a 7.5 cm lift kit I think it meant we glanced over the kerb rather than crashing straight in to it, a low profile would not have survived and would have cost god know's waht in...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    I hit one of the ridiculous terracotta walls that are now being installed int the half way part of crossings in Westminster, NO illuminous paint or even white markings, took out my wheel and tyre, terrifying explosion as tyre let go, fortunately no suspension damage or wheel alignement...

    Help! Stop Oil Engine Press!

    RESULT!!! Changed the sensor....Happy days, ALL GOOD! Thank F**K for that! I knew it couldn't be low oil pressure, engine was pulling like a train, NO smoke, no oil leaks, nadda! £32.73 including the sensor, a 24mm 1/2in Impact hi torq Deep Socket and the ludicrously priced 1 litre of oil I...

    Help! Stop Oil Engine Press!

    Firstly we are going to change the sensor and THOROUGHLY inspect the wiring, then change the oil filter because it looks as if the holder wasn't put back on entirely 'straight' by this numpty! There is a bit of 'oilage' around it that didn't used to be there before, then if that hasn't sorted...

    Help! Stop Oil Engine Press!

    So the new oil pressure sensor arrived today and of course there hasn't been hyde nor hair of ther 'phantom' red light or warning message! I will probably still go ahead and change it AND the oil filter but will probably wait until I have completed this week's hospital session (I have to attend...

    I hope your treatment is successful and not too invasive, after all there is undoubtedly a 'big old' four wheel drive that needs you and your money fit and healthy in order to keep it in the style to which it is accustomed! All the best with yours

    Help! Stop Oil Engine Press!

    Thank you, I try not to bang on about being so ill because it tends to bring people down, it is my own battle and so far it appears to be going fairly well....initially I was told that I would be lucky to survive 12-18 months and that was two years ago, it is one of those things where if you...

    Help! Stop Oil Engine Press!

    Did check the dipstick initially but had just come out of a 3 hour chemo and immuno session which can mess with your head a bit, they call it chemo brain! It was short of oil the 1st time, not much, just around a litre, but today was a 'panic' event....must be the sensor, will order a new one...

    Help! Stop Oil Engine Press!

    Just checked the oil level, nearly too full! I will probably extract a litre just to make sure it is not over oiled! I am beginning to think it is the sensor, but will also check the oil filter and put a new one in as they are not expensive at all. Thanks for the ideas and help everyone....never...
