Might make a very slight difference, but you can just buy the best quality fuel in the first place, it already contains cleaners etc. Also the amount of people I know who drive about nearly on empty and then wonder why they have issues. I now never run less than half a tank, One, you've always...

Gutted for you mate, hope you have luck in the vehicles return. Hope the scumbags involved have a miserable existence.

I will be traveling from SE London to Hastings East Sussex on 17th may returning to London two day's later. Only using my other car but has quite a large boot. Anybody needs a collection, delivery either way let me know.

If it's still under warranty I'd take it back, what about reverse ? If it slips in reverse easy could be synchro trouble ?

Not sure on LRs but on my CRV a mobile re gassing company said I needed a new condenser, they were only £50 new on flea bay and he said he'd fit and re gas system for another £50 as he hadn't detected leak properly. Not sure if you can successfully weld ally ?

No not air filter, think it's the crank breather filter but not up on your engine as I have the ancient rover engine. All I know it's mentioned numerous times.

Yeah keep in touch, seems crazy to fit new turbo ? I'd ask them to re fit old one, refund that expense and sort it ! Personally I wouldn't use it as they could blame you for any damage. Three weeks is too long. I'd return it and give them a few days to fix it !

Is she still under any form of warranty or were they supposed to have fixed it already ?

Lots of threads/advice on here about that problem, have a read up but think most point to a filter under the plastic engine cover.

So do I mate, as said re- post in relevant forum and I'm sure you'll get some knowledgeable advice. If your engine has some form of valve stem oil seals it could be that ? Hope you get it sorted cheaply.

Unusual for here had lot's of rain and my rear wiper came on on it's own and wouldn't turn off. Somehow water got in the tailgate mechanism, perhaps the quality control people had a day off when mine was built ! I used the John cleese method of threatening with big stick or in my case large...

If Kwick Unfit did the job, make sure he didn't leave his sledge hammer and crowbar attached. Cheapest check, jack up front wheels and turn by hand listening for grinding.

Welcome ! Sure your aware very common fault, think most owners shut then remove fuse as uneconomical to repair.

Gallon a week ! Not sure I'd call that a leak, but your popular with motorcyclists in your area lol !

Glad your enjoying your new toy, I assume your fairly young ( well compared with me anyway ) and your insurance is pretty steep ? Remember in theory ANY mods you make you should inform your insurers. Bummer I know as I can remember being young and wanting to customize my horse and cart ! Lol.

Get shot of it while it's still running !

Good news, glad you got it sorted.

Ok keep your syrup on, I should have said there's a correct tool for every job, I'm sure proper mechanics don't risk damaging bearings etc by sticking screwdrivers in when you should use proper tooling. No offence intended.

Trying to remember as I used to be a car valeter. Thing you need one without silicone ? I use the waterless type with good results. Just wipe on and rub off even on a dirty car, takes 15 mins for whole car and leaves a good wax behind which stops dirt sticking in future. ( showroom shine ? )
