Turned out a bit moist up there. It rained at the auction as well -- a 1997 SE 4L P38 went for £8,400, a CSK special built in 1991 for £56,200 <swoon>. And a 1979 two-door for £28,000. What is it with these early Rangee values?

Fans of Vicki will be panting to know that they missed her starring appearance as an auctioneer at Historics' Classic Car Auction Sunday 18th April. Several Range Rovers were auctioned off but no results listing has yet been posted on their site

As there's still Covid social distancing issues -- and we petrol heads aren't the sort to try and pervert one issue into another by throwing rocks at our Police and generally rioting -- it's been decided to put on hold the Red Flag demonstration, march, and rally to City Hall. You can still...

Can't Pay, Won't Pay... Demonstration and Rally A demonstration and rally to protest against the continued War on the Motorist: the expansion of the uLEZ zone to up to but not including the north and south circulars, the continued increased hours of the congestion charge zone, the proposed...

I mentioned earlier in thread that the TV Licensing enforcers had been seen out and about in Croydon, southeast London during "lockdown". Just had a copy of the most useful FAQ that I've ever read from Martyn Lewis's Money Saving Expert newsletter. It's at...

Oh brilliant, just brilliant! So much for the "all-weather" bit of the "all-weather, all-terrain" slogan of a Range Rover. My car door locks are frozen solid. :confused: As against my other cars -- all parked in the street -- Maz QP5 '08MY (solenoid locks) hesitant but OK, Mercedes SL320 SLR...

Good thoughts. But remembered that it'd be OK for three weeks without battery disconnect (longest time of non-use) in the summer with no rains and no car wash. So got it running, switched on all lights, air-con full blast, and found 14.8v at battery terminals at 1500rpm falling to around 13v...

The trips were (from very flattened battery jump started) 12 miles each way mostly A102 dual carriageway. Have done four of those since and have isolated battery every time on return home Each startup feels very lively after re-connecting battery, but this procedure does reset all the ECUs to...

Wrong name but still a useful bit of kit. It's called NOCO Boost Plus. Charges via USB lead supplied, takes about 3½ hours to re-charge via a PC's USB port (only olde PCs here so USB1) from flat. There's a 12V cigar to USB socket supplied, a USB out socket, and an internal LED torch too

Welp, spoke too soon. After the Scotland trip and back when this '03MY L322 performed flawlessly (even with the now correct fuse in the LPG circuit supply line) Parked up, left for three days started OK then a 24 mile trip, left it for five days (ditto), then seven days (ditto). But now 14 days...

We'll have no "papiers, bitte" over here :mad: We'll save that for the 27 over there :¬)) that have to carry identity cards by law. They're now looking on at us with jealosy:rolleyes:

Latest from Vicki: She's promoting the campaign for recalls of some diesel Mercedes that were (allegedly) produced with emissions trickery ECUs. She fronts radio advert heard on LBC https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1296577/mercedes-emissions-scandal-uk-compensation-legal-claim

Have'nt been using the Range Rover much what with the battery drain issue leading to entry problems and the neighbours twitching their a lace every time the alarm goes off. So, took the problem in hand during a bright warm winter's day and remooved the fuse to the headlight wipers...

Still have force ale. And the crankshaft 1704768 £40:

Wax? You needed wax?

Progress! After removing said RF Amplifier (433MHz) XUo 000020 cleaned its socket pins with Servisol, shorted them with screw driver blade and left overnight. Sprayed plugs' pins with Servisol this morning and re-fitted RF Amplifier. Et voila! After a hesitation, followed the "press the unlock...

Got no rich tea or anything else when I visited Barny Jones (4x4) specialist in Farnham, Surrey yesterday. Have had that workshop work on this car before and they managed to "lose" the FOBs' syncs to the security mechanism about 15 months ago. No problems since. They were only able to sync...

Hi Brian... Yes, have also left the battery disconnected for two to three nights. Re-connecting doesn't cause the alarm to go off. But manually entering the car using the blade to unlock then when key is inserted into IGN alarm stops. Engine can then be started. Then drives OK except the...
