Nice work Kev, can you let us know some more info on this? (Where you goyt the parts from, how much, what mods required etc. As much as you want to tell us basically!)

Hello all, this may seem a bit trivial given the arms length list of 'niggles' on the majority (mine included) of our beloved Range Rover's, but one of my 'R's [careful how you say that] is damaged and looks sh*te. I've looked online and replacements seem ridiculously expensive. Other than going to a scrapyard to try and find a decent one (I do have 33% of the letters to choose from after all) is there another source out there? Thanks in advance, Chris

Hi Bosbeer, as my Mrs and I live in Italy we have done this trip a few times. We unfortunately always seem to be in a rush and we go from Modena to Blackpool in around 26 hours ish. This is WAY too quick to enjoy the trip and you could very easily spend a week each way stopping at different places along the route. If you can stay off the French motorways, do so, if only to avoid the annoying, one-every-5-mins motorway tolls. We have been Portsmouth to Le Havre (£80ish but free sleep) but usually Dover Calais (£50-£60 return). We now drive through Switzerland just because it is so beautiful, the only downer being that we look out of the window and pine because we don't have time to stop (An annual motorway pass is around €30 so this might work out a bit expensive for a holiday. As we do the trip several times a year the cost is relatively low) GBMUD is right about the driving in Italy. Just treat every road in every direction on a roundabout as a give way and you'll be fine. After a while you will probably join the using every lane and not indicating club, otherwise you just look and feel really foreign. You will have a great trip, let us know how you get on!

Hello all, I'm new to the forum but I have a feeling that I will be spending quite a lot of time here... I have recently bought a 2000 dual fuel 4.0 HSE Auto and within a couple of weeks I have already become fairly intimate with the under bonnet area and I have added a few abbreviations to my vocabulary. (MAF, IACV etc) It is a cracking motor and the list of niggles is relatively short (Runs like a pig on petrol but like a dream on LPG, steering shakes on road bumps, maintenance symbol on air con [i reckon if you haven't one of those it's your LCD display that's buggered!], slight oil leak from sump gasket.) That means there are approximately 997696795779857976 components / systems working well at the moment. I see that there is plenty of good advice on this forum and I look forward to exchanging banter and technical hints (not too many, fingers crossed) in the future. Happy spanner monkeying!
