I will look into that as used to use launch for landys but not the best system

I do wonder if off road tyres should be legalised for road cars as not many roads count as proper roads any more!

Sounds like fun. With the thunderstorms forecast I may be able to watch it happen!!!

Worth every penny of our taxes. Really makes me proud to be working!

Unfortunately not just your tyres. The roads in the uk are simply shocking! Even the relaid surfaces aren't flat or smooth and still take longer than ever to do!!!!

I spent 30 odd years doing diagnostics on euro crap and none of that covered everything either regardless of cost! I always swore not to own something I have to plug in to fix but here we are (doh!)

I am sure this will be no surprise but I seem to have random volume control on stereo from either unit dial or steering wheel controls but not necessarily the same result from both! The sat nav has a mind of it's own but at least the hvac seems to work properly at today! I am guessing I need a...

I see. There is always a trick to every bit of gadgetry! Although I drive lots of different modern crap at work my present daily car is a 1977 daimler with the only electronic bit being a replacement distributor!!!

many thanks for a quick answer I will try that as using the rocker switch on its own wouldn't pick motorway height although you probably knew that! I have so much to learn.

Sorry to butt in but how do you lock suspension at motorway height as on first rangey and handbook quite knackered. On the polybush bit I have found parts that rotate more than a few degrees seem to wear polybushes rapidly even when using correct lube but very good for impact parts (shocks,roll...

Thanks so much to all of you. This is very encouraging. Just about to start another session of night shifts at work so will be contacting him next week while this key still functions!!

That's good as I googled wessex land-rover in Portsmouth and no result unfortunately

That does make more sense. Would I need to contact the original dealer?

That sounds much safer! My key looks quite original (tired) and has original dealer key ring(also tired). The key has a sticker with e0682 on it but guess that is a type label?

that does sound good as the idea of sending anything as valuable as my only working key via royal snail fills me full of terror

Thanks for that will have a look as keys don't like me so will definitely need a spare!!

I only ever had keys made purely of metal that you turned in the door lock to get in and the same to start it! Luckily the wife likes it and with overfinch rear exhaust it sounds very nice indeed!! I am also used to no one letting you out at junctions! Every day is part of the ever steepening...

Thanks for the quick replis again. I think it beeped twice whwn i turn the key on.. I swore i wouldn't have a car that beeped at me! Hopefully it is just a bulb then although the previous owner had no history or spare key that it had two years before! luckily it seems to run well and keeps its...

hi all I have just bought a 2002 4.6 p38 and only half the digital display on the instrument cluster lights up so no idea if or how many faults it has! is it a bulb or was this deliberate sabotage by previous owner?

Thanks again I am sure all it's current issues will be there!
