United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

Not really Stan. It was a pin hole, the rubber wasn't perished. The said they couldn't see what made it fail, possibly a stone or something got stuck in it. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Typical that is.....

Just get one back and now SWMBOs Skoda has a check engine light on Big Cry

Probably one of the 2 o2 sensors either side of the cat, but without a code reader I don't know which one and unlike the FF I can't just crawl under it to have a look and test them.... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Wales 2003 Range Rover SE Td6 Zambezi Silver

I had a leaking front airspring a couple of years back and decided to replace it myself. I didn't notice any odd handling or anything. A short while later the other side went, (probably a coincidence). It didn't take long to replace as I knew the procedure the second time.

If you haven't got a guarantee, I would say it is a relatively easy procedure to DIY. The hardest part is loosening a couple of bolts which are very tight. A long extension bar did the job Smile No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE
