My compressor cost me £500 though not £1600!! I would have insisted they took it back out!

I hear your comments gold rover and I'm sorry to read of all your ills on your old girls both holidaychicken and gold rover. The only thing that doesn't work on my old girl are the parking sensors but she's got a reversing camera and I know how wide & long she is! I use the heated seats and...

Thanks for that. I did have the front air springs replaced earlier in the year but that's expected with the age / mileage of the old girl. Other than that I've not had any eas foilbles whatsoever. (I had the compressor reconditioned last year actually) I'm not sure that what your friend has...

Oh and don't worry about making her go up and down. If you need to treat her like she's covered in cotton wool why would you get one? It's there for using!! Mine goes up and down every time I get in her to get in and out of her. Anyone that tells you to treat them with kid gloves probably...

I had both my front bags replaced earlier in the year, they last around 10 years / 100k miles. They're not cheap but they don't tend to break / wear out quickly. They're a 'cheap' car to buy but not to keep on the road as most things cost quite a bit more than for a focus. Then again just look...

Afternoon all. Just thought I'd post that my mainly trouble free old girl has had enough of her present water pump so she squealed a little and then shredded the fan belt. I wasn't sure what it was but the alternator light came on and the power steering went so I pulled into a small residential...

I was sure I'd posted this but it was the air flow sensor in the end. They replaced it and she's been fine ever since. (Well, until yesterday when the water pump went.)

I got mine from etyres 19 months ago they've been more than good enough for me. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/tyres.283759/ http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-detail/nexen-roadian-hp-255-50-20-v/ I appreciate everyone has their own opinions but for me I don't drive like an idiot that the...

Don't forget Saint, the first rule when talking to me is to never forget I've not got a clue what I'm talking about or even if what I recall is the truth!! :)

Thanks for the replies. As you might guess from the lack of my posting on here I managed to make it back in the old girl. (Mainly because it stopped raining!) It did start about an hour before I got home but other than when I used my screen wash it behaved. (Moral of the story, don't use the...

Afternoon all. I suspect my old girls got some water ingress somewhere and when I'm driving in the rain she splutters and then everything fails on the dash (hdc inactive, air susp, all the lights) and I'm without power. It happened just now on the motorway but I got her over to the hard...

I had the same thing happen on mine, recovery chap (fellow landy owner so wasn't going to leave me in the lurch) jacked the front up a little, connected the live to the starter with a bit of wire from the jump leads and earthed it somewhere. She didn't unlock with the key immediately, had to...

Hey up all. Quick update. I've 'finally' heard back from the insurance and they say that (it's outsourced to buggery so there's an outsource incident manager, outsourced garage (who couldn't do it so they took it to Land Rover direct) and in any case they say the suspension failure is down to...

Thanks Saint, I'm fine but they didn't get caught, I gave the police their reg but I've not heard anything back yet. Hopefully it'll be on CCTV somewhere as it's covered with cameras on that part of the A13. As for the car I too was surprised but apparently my passenger said it was quite a jolt...

What holidaychicken said. Especially this: keep back some cash for repairs & keep back a couple of grand

Driving down the a13 towards Southend this evening to go to a friends party I was at the 40mph avg camera works area and I spied this little 07 car weaving in and out of the traffic, I was doing bang on 40 and clicked the cruise off as he came belting up behind me, he swerved into lane 2 and got...

Morning all. I got an Air Suspension Inactive error on the dash last night, I've plugged in the Allcoms and it says: Articulation Validity Fault. When I cleared it all was good when stationary but when I took her for a quick drive the error came back. (My understanding is it's a hard fault...

Yes sorry I thought I'd put it in. My bad!

Afternoon all. I just wanted to sing the praises of H20 car valeting in Car Park B of Stratford Westfield. I've got a lovely looking 03 l322 that I had titivated earlier this year. To be fair her interior was amazing but the idiot that had her before had turned her into an 'Underpigeon' and...

Hey up gents. Just had my old girl in for a quick pre-winter 'Service A' service with the chaps at LRR and wanted to sing their praises. I asked around on here for a recommendation based around my location and these guys got some warm comments. I've used them for a major service, all...
