Is it possible to have a coolant leak when the blowers are set to anything other than ‘windscreen’? If the blowers are set to ‘windscreen/footwell’ I loose coolant; if set to just windscreen I don’t. I’ve been chasing a coolant leak around the engine bay for months now (it started in the...

Moreover, how many garages have charge Joe Public for a replacement starter when all they've done is cleaned a connector... they wouldn't do that would they? Not in this country surely, we're all honest, hard-working, decent types in this country aren't we? Thank God for Landyzone, saving its...

That’s just showing off… “pushing” a 90 with a tow-rope…

My therapist says sharing with the group is good for me so here goes… Had my FL1 serviced last week (because I’m really lazy and have loads of money) and the garage told me that they’d had trouble starting my car, twice. They suspected the starter motor was duff and kindly quoted for...

F1 Autocentre in Lincoln have all the gear but apparently lack the wit to use it. They did my Ford Focus for about £30 and did a damn good job so I let them loose on my the Bus - £80 out of pocket and the steering wheel wasn't centred and she still pulled to the near-side. Took it back and...

Yup, knew that, just too damn lazy to type it all out... :o

Didn't think you could get the swim-kits for those but there you go...

You sir, are a gold-plated, fir-lined, ocean-going star... :cool:

Quick question. Both my cigar lighters have packed in, I've checked the fuses etc. Is there an easy way to get at the connectors or do I have to take the centre console out as described in the Haynes bible?

Just kicked mine for being stoopid... I've got a 400 mile round trip due in two weeks and I suspect my NSF spring has just let go... rant rant rage rave grizzle weep... etc.

F**k my old boots, is that a Stalwart?! The only thing to burn better than a Freelander...

I bought a relatively decent 1.8GS a few months back with 40k on the clock so thought she shouldn't be too costly for a while right? As the guys said, don't do a damn thing until you're sure everything is sound. These things can make money vanish faster than a UK banker...

Bought my FL a couple of months back with 40k on the clock – I’ve done a little over 2k since. The Scorpions on there the originals and are beginning to look a bit rough; they will be replaced before winter. That said they’re doing a fine job coping the wet/dry/mud/more...

And the winner is... drum-roll... :drum: ... CHRIS! Filled up with Shell V-Power on Friday and I can’t believe the difference. Smoother running, more grunt, quieter, and the rattle is gone! Never heard pinking like that before, would have put good money on finding something loose but...

Had thought of that myself Chris, the timing belt was done (along with the head gasket) before I picked the car up - I did wonder if the timing was out. I need to fill up today anyway so will slop a tank of the good stuff in just to see what happens. Jeez, this is getting more and more like...

Freelaner - can't turn the radio up, I blew all the speakers a few weeks back... Thanks for the advice guys, looks like a weekend under the car (swore I'd give that up when I sold my last P6!).

Tel's right, too short and you run the risk of the leather tearing between the holes. Using a needle designed for leather is also very important, they're shaped to cut rather than punch and last a lot longer...

Quick question before I go blind reading article after article after article after article... 1.8 petrol 2002 Hardback – accelerating from low revs I get a tinny rattle from underneath the car (middle/front ish). I thought I’d found the problem when I discovered the exhaust centre section mount...

£680 plus VAT new... guess I'll be making my own...

I miss my old V8... :Cry:
