Not down here in France,not only do they cheat a football but they charge a fortune for spares

Get this,got in the Rangie this morning,started her up,noticed something in the rear view mirror,got out with engine running,while getting out brushed the door lock thingy with my arm,shut door,FxxxxD Couldnt get into car,Rangie ticking over lovely,me ripping hair out'cos keys to everything...

Too right!,plus the feeling of of getting one over on the Land Rover dealership in Montpellier(they wanted 1300 euros to change all 4 bags),so told them where to go and needless to say am not welcome there anymore The 2 bags cost me 130 quid and an hour of my time!!

Just changed the EAS bags on the Range,pleased as f*****g Punch! Massive thanks to DATATEK for his step-by-step guide,probably wouldn't have been able to do it without it(or it would have taken a lot longer and a lot more swearing),as is was only had a bit of bother getting the old one out...

i've the same problem with my laptop battery,130 nicker for a replacement!!!!,but have a booster battery

thanks,i was wondering about leaving the engine running also i will be powering the lap-top from a seperate power source

i would like to know why the recalibration uses so much juice from the battery,is just a case of lap-top power or is there another reason?'i say this because i have to do the recalibrating soon but can't afford to have the battery run flat as my BECM will lock out

when the BECM decided to go into a huff i didn't have a clue as to the reason,but people on this site helped a lot in ascertaining the cause of the problem,and as PHANTOM 21 says,if you do things yourself,it will cost you less(bleeding obvious really) I personaly love the P38,the proportions...

i own a 1997 P38 DSE,had it for over a year now,had a problem when i let the battery run flat and had to have the BECM unlocked,apart from that it's the best car i've ever owned,i visit this site regulary and hear all sorts of stories,but mine ticks over like a swiss clock,gets me from the south...

i needed my EKA code so i called BARRETTS in Canterbury(where my car was originaly bought)and a very nice sounding girl at the other end just asked me for the VIN number and gave me the code over the phone,so maybe give them a try(just google BARRETTS for the number)

look under the car and see if there are any leaks,if there aren't any that means everything is empty!:D

so i took back the filter and they gave me a refund,but the bloke at Havefords wouldn't have it,he went on his computer and it said YES!,i tried explaining to him that there are two different filters for the P38 and that they should update their filing system(didn't like that)so the next P38...

There's me thinking that my RR was as pure and virtuous as Mother Theresa,and it turns out she's the illegitmate love child of BMW and Vauxhall!!!!!

As we are on the subject of oil changes and the like,apart from transmission oil and engine oil,what else should be changed on a DIY service?,did i see differentials raise it's head?

Thats the thing,mines a plastic top(so the late filter) but the car is 1997 which according to RAVE cd should be early filter,does this mean my engine is not original to the car?

was in Halfords the other day and picked up an oil filter for my 1997 dse,i now read that there are two different types(of course)an early and a late. Someone clearly didn't tell Halfords this,they just have filter for 1995-2002 The real problem i have though is establishing which one i need,the...

well i got my BECM back last night,stuck it back in this morning,said the lords prayer and hey presto! she stated straight off,no code in and no resyncing,to say i was pleased would be an understatement. chuffed to pieces with the bloke who did it,took it up to him and the next day it was...

you'd probably need an entry code to get his head up there

so an update on the immobilisation saga,just had some mechanic round with all his diagnostics gadgets and my Range Rover wont accept any of his machines,so he thinks the BECM is locking them out,anyone got any other ideas? I find it ******* incredible that a flat ******* battery can cause so...

my next car is gonna be a Citroen 2CV
