    Wheels and tyres for snow.

    I've used a set of Vredestein WinTracs all winter now on a set of 18" wheels and they are fantastic - improved the handling no end, and very happy indeed - if you check out the Camskills website they offer really good prices and free delivery - I keep a set of wheels for winter and change back...

    BP Ultimate - Win Petrol for a year Competition.......

    They based it on a fuel consumption of 35mpg (hahahahaha:D:D:D - I wish!!!!!)and a fuel price of £1.04/l which was the average over the time the competition was held......given that Ultimate is around £1.10-£1.28 / l :eek::eek:the workings-out were a bit flawed really!!!! But still, 2 grand is...

    BP Ultimate - Win Petrol for a year Competition.......

    Range Rover damaged

    Fault with heater/control flaps thinking of buying

    Up North???!! Well I suppose its north of Watford :) He travels most places, esp if he has a few jobs lined up - worth giving him a call anyway, I would think.

    Fault with heater/control flaps thinking of buying

    There's a mobile mechanic who does blends etc at your own premises, may be worth getting a quote from him. He did mine last year - all three were done within around 2 hours or so and the aircon is back to good working order, he also includes 3 brand new blends in the price and warranties the...

    Sat Nav fault

    Looks like you're in luck then - at least for a Mk3 unit - they are sold fairly cheaply and are plug n play. For software upgrades you could try Mick on eurosatnav.com - I think he may have info on the laser kits as well.

    Sat Nav fault

    Have a look at photos of the BMW units on ebay, and compare with yours. The screen doesn't really make any difference re the main units - compare the unit itself directly with photos of the IBUS units used in BMW X5s, 5 series and a few more, from 2001 to 2007. You may be lucky and find its a...

    Sat Nav fault

    If it uses the BMW I-BUS unit (I think the 2001 model may do), then you can buy a unit quite easily on ebay, fairly cheaply, as they were interchangeable in the years when BMW owned Land Rover. Earlier CARIN models sadly aren't, but come up now and then on ebay. Not worth paying new prices for...

    P38 Issues

    There's a mobile mechanic who could do O rings / blend motors etc, plus servicing etc if you need that done - service booked stamped as he is a vat reg business as well. His name is Jason, tel 07903077948. Land Rover trained techie, has done some jobs for me in the past to a good standard...

    Faultmate MSV-2 Personal View

    Haven't checked latest prices on their website, but I paid over £600 for an Extreme single vehicle version with leads etc. That doesn't include the expense of buying a laptop for it which I thought wasn't necessary as it has its own built-in screen, but no, you do need the laptop...... Mine...

    hevac notebook

    Could also be a coincidental problem with the HEVAC unit itself - I had a similar situation occur

    headlight guards stolen in N1 London!

    They're probably advertised on fleebay as we speak......

    Blend motors maybe but possibly something simple to check first??

    Sounds like the temperature blend has gone as well....although possibility of a HEVAC unit fault as well. Best to have a diagnostic done - Testbook / Rovacom or such like.

    sat nav upgrade for a 2003 L322

    He does Mk3 CDs as well, not sure of how much extra function is added to them. The early l322 RR satnav is not renowned for being particularly good. You should be able to swop it out directly with a Mk4 though - remember the BMW X5 takes the same kit - they pop up on ebay regularly (usually...

    New faultmate FCR for P38 any good?

    Thanks BBS Guy, if there are any other details I can look for please let me know. I'll bring the server back with me to get the serial number sorted. I've got a book at home somewhere giving all the background on all the p38s ever made other than Autobiographies, will hunt it out and see if...

    sat nav upgrade for a 2003 L322

    There's a chap called Mick who does BMW satnav software (the L322 Rangies share some of the same systems as BMW X5s) - I think the site is called Eurosatnav.com. He has an upgraded DVD that gives full postcode entry. Worked a treat on my X5.

    New faultmate FCR for P38 any good?

    BBS Guy I missed your recent posts, sorry about the delay. When I am back with the P38 this coming weekend (13/14 Feb) I will try to find the info you need - I always thought that THOR engines had the "bunch of bananas" top cover rather than the square slab of the GEMS, also the garage I bought...
