Selling my 2004 TD6, Drives great apart from needs wheel alignment, only place local to me don’t like doing range rovers and can’t do it for couple of months, Selling as iv just bought a 4.2Sc, Well looked after with lots changed in last 12 months, no pets, no smokers, kept clean and tidy and...

Just given my steering wheel the same treatment as my td6 a few weeks back, good sand and clean and degrease then paint.

Took the chance with a day and half free to polish mine, still needs a more aggressive polish but loads better than when I bought it, will worry about another polish once arches are fixed.

Always a good feeling when that happens. When my td6 passed in March with no advisory’s at 18 years old it shows it’s worth looking after them.

Same here, every 7-8000 normally, took the advise from a taxi driver who said full service every 12 months but oil service every 7-8000, he clocked up silly miles with no issues.

I do two to three times that milage but companies I do for pay the fuel and it’s full cost not say 15p per mile etc, once job is done I say how much it’s cost so not fussed over fuel, however I’d been put off the 3.6 by the worrying about of ones for sale for spares or repairs with words like...

Must be a woman thing, I do think they look better in person than on pictures. Sometimes though we can’t have exactly what we want within a limited budget, I looked at a few some tarted up some obviously rotten etc, this one came up and got good vibes off the seller, could see he was honest, had...

Doesn’t seem to be many all black around, every one I looked at had the two tone, my other half isn’t to keen on the two tone, told her you don’t see the seat when sat in it 😂. Whichever interior you get there super comfy and just a nice place to be. Jumped back in the td6 to move it earlier...

Went and bought a 4.2sc l322, great price and honest seller, interior is perfect, bodywork needs paint on arches but not rotten and whole car just needs a good polish, went down a farm track in it today and then heard a grinding sound, turned out one of the pins on handbrake had pulled through...

Big job to change it, mines was crispy but solid, good hammering to knock loose off then spray wax etc.

Didn’t ask him about receipt, will catch him tomorrow, I will have a look into them chargers.

Neither me or him have a charger, I used to have one but damp got to it.

Merc C class not really that new as It only has 1 battery for everything not one for engine and one for electrics like newer ones but still enough ecus. Even a parasitic drain would drain a battery in ten mins would it? Even if you leave lights on or radio cars normally last longer. Personally...

I don’t think it could be much else, as I say once started runs fine no warning lights etc, turn off and voltage drops off so to me it’s taking power but not storing it.

Agree there a good long run will help but if the battery has an internal fault no matter how many miles it won’t help, to me that’s what it is, internal failure, runs great after a jump then soon as engine is off power just goes, even saw the interior lights dim to off within the time I was...

Will mention ctek charger, didn’t think of them, see what he says, depending on how long he keeps driving 1 new battery may see him through, he did seem a bit worried about it, I said if it’s the battery that’s knackered it should keep behaving as it is, starts with jump then runs all day then...

I did ask him if he had a charger to put on a slow charge to try and fix it but he doesn’t and neither do I so looks like replacement. I seem to recall a mate of mine years ago having a similar issue, he took his battery to a auto electrics place who charged 50p to charge it then phoned him and...

Just as I thought then, being old he said “battery isn’t that old” but his 2 years could be 5 or 10, just the way it behaves, jumps fine drives great, no charge lights on dash etc but park up, engine off, within ten mins it’s flat again, I know some cars have drain on them but never known a...

Hi guys, not strictly Land Rover but the guy in question used to have them, anyway neighbor of mine, old guy who still tries so do his own stuff asked me to jump his car, it’s not been used in a good while, got it going he went out came back, hour later battery was flat again, he said he took it...

Good old td6, have to love em’.
