I'd be careful with auto-doc.fr, some dof their stuff is shi@.. Stark are not great, bolk, mapco or the likes need to avoided😵

Finally! Turns out it wasn’t really the image file size, but the pixel dimensions - go figure. Anyway, a clean P38 for you all to admire.

She purdy🤩

Easier than that. Click the Insert Image icon, and either drag the image over, or click the box & find the image on your device.

In Ireland most remove the dpf from their cars, not totally legal but given the amount of problems they cause a lot of people take the risk.

I travel a lot for work so it will mostly be used for commuting, the roads are pretty **** as well and my audi s3 is not enjoying them lol

Well said young man.

Economic tolerance 🤔 The wet belt made from synthetic rubber (oil) breaks down in the oil and blocks the oil strainer.... Poof, dead engine.. A later Ford mhev engine replaced the wet belt with a chain but left the oil pump driven by... Yes you...

More cars are doing this now? Try getting into it when it's frozen

You are learning some lesson here young jedi🙌

Imperial bolts. It would be a good idea to get some an imperial sockets. Most of the engine need them.

The velar is it's own model with pop out door handles, you can see that fail coming in a few years..... "hello is that the rac , I can't get into my car" 😜

J Just google ingenium engine issues, then go and buy another make, though I have to say most modern vehicles are just plain crap!

The ebay stuff is usually short lived chinesium at its Errr best??

You would think, wouldnt you. But JLR are still using it all these years later. I guess they have worked out that it will probably get out of the warranty period, then its not thier problem 🤔. We added a bit to our budget when we brought our...

Crank issues would stop most people from buying one in the first place.

The trick is as above. find a well maintained 1 first and if you then keep up the maintanace it could end up being a reliable car. Start skipping over small problems will only lead to bigger issue down the line. Because of the complexitiy of them...

i think a good, well maintained older (5-7 years+) example could be more reliable than a newer one, on the basis the failures have been addressed, parts replaced or upgraded etc. an abused/unmaintained example needs to be left well alone

Look at the J D Power and other surveys, Range Rovers are always near the bottom for reliability and that's in the first 3 years. Always best to have a second car available for when the RR is off the road. If you can't DIY it could turn out to...

Thanks for that, Someone else indicated the lack of spoilers on the VM's was due to cooling issues. This one now has a 300Tdi so no worries with that issue now. Cheers

I only discovered that there was a difference in size when trying to fit a 39mm at the rear where a 36mm was required. The heat sink on my 39mm lamps was shorting out every time that I tried to fit the oversize bulb. Interestingly the circuit...

Post in thread 'Reverse lamp, electrickery knowledgeable peeps, what do you think?' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/reverse-lamp-electrickery-knowledgeable-peeps-what-do-you-think.396931/post-5801790

Sound advice. Got a call about the 4.4 AJV8 tomorrow N/A. If the service history looks okay, I will probably put an offer in. Take it straight down to get a service and all the oils changed. Then just roll with it. Expect the worst, hope for...

My opinion would be that you should buy the car you want. I've had a 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8, both facelift, I like them. Also had a 2008 3.6 TDV8, they're all brilliant in their own way. at 205k I would imagine a lot of the things that would need...

Do either of them meet the low emission zone requirements in Austria ? In London, the 4.4V8 generally meets ULEZ, but the diseasel does not.

Sorry for the late response life has got in the way. I am using a Snap On Solus Pro . Thanks for the diagrams I will get on it as soon as I can and report back. Thanks again for your help Gary

Fuel economy doesn't worry me. Only doing around 6,000 miles a year in it. Soundtrack is well worth it.

Many thanks. I'll order up. thanks again

Yes, more surface area. Makes them round off quicker as they rust

Lemforder all day long👍
