Don't buy ****ty Land Rover products.


Actually, its a very decent car. the BMW engine is the best they ever
fitted to that range.


Mind at least it got me home: Some cars would have sat there at the
roadside protesting 'I can't cope with this'

The hose was a mere £5.19

Its all back up and running. More power than I can remember and a lot
lower fuel burn judging by the sound..it now sounds 'on tune' and it
hasn't been like that for 6 months, so I reckon this problem has been
there awhile.


It's not new either..that car.. so I can't say its any worse than
anything else.

The last two cars that left me sitting by the roadside were both
vauxhalls..one snapped its timing belt at 65K and the other snapped its
CAMSHAFT at 95K.
