It'll be James French you're looking for. Standlake garage is probably the other one down the road. Mine was back in the workshop twice within a week  fine now though thankfully. |

As long as 4 days? Nice one  glad you got it sorted though. Just FYI as you're in the Oxfordshire area, as am I, James French in Standlake seems to be a LR specialist people speak highly of ... |

| I used a bluefin on my exeo. Was pretty impressed. I've used AMD previously too with excellent results. I've still got the bluefin device and cable, considering it on my '58 RRS 2.7 soon. Wondering ho ... |

| Thankfully it all seems good now. Lucky as I managed to shove a chisel into the side of my thumb last night so I needed it to get to JR just now. After getting back from A&E at 4am this morning I' ... |

| They've checked all the wiring and connections. No corrosion at the transmission ECU, no real faults found anywhere. They've also been in contact with the LR expert mechanics (can't remember what they ... |

| I'm in Oxfordshire too and there are quite a few round this area, although autotrader distance is as the crow flies, which is bl**dy useless unless you're a crow! Take one of each for a test drive see ... |

Well I have got a good 30mpg on motorways in my v6, more like 22-24 round town. It's not a fast car though. SC I've never read anything more than 20. Usually 11-15.
I'd wager if you were that bothe ... |

You could be put off by all range rovers if you look on here too much  I've heard the v6 is worse than the v8, and vice versa. The advice I've had is that if mpg isn't important to you, get the p ... |

| Depends how badly you need the extra mpg, and which diesel you're comparing with. If you're going for the v8 diesel, the difference in mpg will be less than the v6. If I didn't use mine for commuting ... |

No luck with hard reset. Garage coming to pick it up and leaving me the Merc cabriolet again. I can't fault them really, lovely chaps, hopefully they can sort it this time round.
Unfortunately I am ... |
