    P38A EAS expert in Herts/Beds

    Yes, found the techno archive bit. Not sure how geared up I am to do a lot of that stuff. Indeed, my local 4x4 guys are nice n helpful but this is all getting quite niche expertise in fairly dated technology.

    Hello We (actually I) decided to get a Rangey as the new family weekend and holiday car as our three year old getting terrible car sickness - so hoping higher ride position and smoother ride should help. Plus it would help the missus get to work in the bad weather. We are in Hitchin...
