My sons car failed to start at work this pm. He’s a key worker. I need to drive to him and jump start it. Haven’t done it for years. What’s the safest way to do it with leads please? Read more
That’s what you call a jump start!
Driving to La Plagne. Heavy rain all the way from UK. Parked in minus 5-15 for a week. On departure, started but ran for 2 seconds. Repeatedly. Garage man said 5 others the same. Found a block of ice in rubber tube after intercooler. Next year same deal. This time saw rubber pipe to manifold sucked flat. Pulled it off to allow air in. Started fine. Left idling for 2 hours and engine heat melted ice and all OK. Q. Why on earth do LR rely on air bubbling through water, in the pipe leading up to the manifold, to dry. Cure. Either suck air in from inside the engine compartment instead of the side of a front wing OR fit a solenoid operated drain valve where water collect, open when the ignition is off. WAKE UP Land Rover. Read more
Two possible causes. During LR pre-production testing they experienced this problem and did nothng about it, or, they didn't carry out a test that would have highlighted this problem.Either way it's negligence.
The display in the centre of the Dashboard will pixelate after about 30 minutes,and you can not read the display menu , does any one know how to fix this problem,I will be most grateful to find a solution, regards Rev-Phillip Read more

Best way to get a pro rata refund is to ask current Insurance company to transfer insurance to something they won't insure. Say a kit car, imported vehicle, Ferrari etc. Just keep asking until they refuse to insure, at this point they are obligated to give refund of time not on risk.
Yesterday I had the news that youngroverbelle, MK1, 1980 edition is recovering well from a certain well known bug.

Great news, ORB. Stay safe and well, everyone.
Hello, just a hypothetical (at this time) post really but..........if a was looking for a reasonably priced second hand SUV it would more than likely be the Honda Cr-V. At present l have a Toyota RAV 4 2005 D-4D in cracking condition with just over 80K on the clock, full service history etc & bought from the original owner who l know locally. Being a 55 plate there's no DPF to consider & overall it meets our requirements to accommodate a couple of dogs in the back & was too good an opportunity to miss a couple of years back. However, if l were to buy now, with a budget of around 8K, it would be the Honda, as in general l just prefer the shape to the comparable Toyota RAV 4.
The question for debate & your opinion is petrol or diesel with this car? On the face of it our mileage does not warrant a diesel with annual miles around 7-8K, made up of longer journey's in the spring/summer to the coast, but shorter journey's in the autumn/winter. l also like the drive & torque that a diesel (1.6 DTEC) gives & when you look at the tax (£200) & economy difference (20 mpg) is it worth the risk over the petrol? (2.0 VTEC)... Read more
If you are looking at an auto you should bear in mind that DSG autos have a poor reliability record and that rules out all VAG cars. Torque convertor autos are best but the CVT ones seem to be OK also as long as they get oil changes at the recommended intervals.
Thanks, l was only considering an auto CR-V & wouldn't risk the DSG VAG box.

Hi my drivers window stops halfway on going up then when I try again it’ll go up an inch and and drop down a little bit. Opening the door and shutting it again usually fixes it.
It is a intermittent fault and can work well for days... Read more

Actually, I am from Croatia, 1800 km from Leicester and 1300 from Amsterdam where the car "is". Seller says that car is in Amsterdam , but firm is registrated in Leicester. Now he can't send copy of papers from the car and example od contract(why?) Everyone should stay out of these guys..
