| Totally agree that the original LR ones are much better than Bosch. Worth the money. |

| Reagarding my previous post, my car has been to the dealer for further investigations into the vibrations, and they conclude it must be the auto gearbox. That is not something I am going to pay for to ... |

| Lancaster Reading are good - I have my car serviced there, although bought elsewhere. Professional attitude to service, and very helpful with my recent sales enquiries. |

| I removed my roof rails as I rarely used them, but they are not really designed to be removed and then refitted. You have to replace the plastic strips running longitudinally (or at least the front pa ... |

| My 08 auto with 72K miles has this kind of grumbling at 1800-2000 rpm in 5th or mostly 6th gear, slightly worse on an incline. It doesn't make panels rattle, but you feel it through the seat base. It' ... |

| I also bought a 4x4 (FL2) after having to use snow chains on a regular visit to the Alps in winter. They are hard to put on and equally hard to take off. |

| Almost fault-free 08 HSE with 60K miles. More reliable than any of the BMW or VW cars I've had and much more comfortable! |

| I was in a similar situation in April with my HSE, but which had done 50K miles. In the end, having to part with £15-17K to get broadly the same car just didn't make sense to me. I had the car in for ... |

| I removed mine a few months ago - it took a couple of hours in total. You need the correct Torx (5mm?) head to undo the screws. Cost of the new pieces of trim was a little high, but it looks as if the ... |

| My rear tyres wear more quickly than the front (Wranglers) and I don't drive hard round corners. Rears did 35K and front did 39K before changing. |

| I don't think that is a reasonable price. I told my dealer I'd get it done at my local garage which will be half the cost. |
