I've had aftermarket struts on hood and tailgate (bonnet and boot) for years now, they work fine. Don't recall the brand.

You can remove it and it won't hurt anything, other than 4WD and probably the traction control stuff. You'll need to disconnect the haldex power as well. You'll get a bunch of warning lights, but it w ...

You can't just remove the valve, it's integral to the valve cover. It's easy to replace though. But as was mentioned, that's a goose honking noise and easy to rule out by pulling out the dipstick to s ...

Are the warranties attached to batteries actually worth anything ?

Anybody managed to successfully claim on a defective battery ?

What was the process involved ?

I imagine returning a battery ...

Otherwise it just appears that the FL2 requires a new 12v Battery every 3 to 4 years, otherwise poor starting and intermittent electronic faults result.

Yes, my experience as well even in sunny ...

Sounds like the same as Salvage Title here in the states.

Big problem with that is, even with very minor actual damage, the characterization stays with the vehicle for life, greatly reducing it's v ...

yeah run it for a while and try another fluid flush.

Also make sure the engine mounts are good shape, worn mounts can cause rough shifting.

Disc and rotors are one of the few things on this car which I'll go with non-OEM.

As others said, OEM brake parts are just marked-up, rebranded third-party. You can adjust your brake component cost ...

An urban myth! As there were so many tales about how the gearbox behaviour was supposedly modified when a trailer was connected I wrote to LR to ask them. Their reply was unequivocal- “I can confirm ...
