I'm just window shopping :)
Anyone feeling brave? :)

Oxford leather too!
My Fiat Coupe was a 1994 LHD which was a year earlier than any RHD ones imported to the UK. I got a letter of conformity from the DVA and it all went smoothly after that. No inspection necessary, I just had to confirm that I had change the lights and speedo. I guess I the Speedo was a work in progress :)
The fun part was driving it on British Forces Germany plates while in the UK. :)
I had a km speedo for years in my Fiat. Various MOT testers ignored it and just put the "mileage" down for the test using the Km number. I did swap the head and fog/reversing lights over, I didn't fancy an artic up the chuff.
I'd be tempted by a Jap import having seen a few programs on their second hand market, but I don't need another one :)
Not all of them have the boot badge ;)
That one doesn't seem to have the speaker on the dash or the Piano Black or Gopping Marble effect trim. I'd say no.
My Jeep Cherokee is plated at 3250Kg but weighs a WHOLE lot less than a P38 at 1500Kg!
I've never towed anything like that weight behind it, but I suspect the rear drums might be a weak spot :)
Very nice work. Did you clay it first or go straight in with the G3?
Until you take the VIN to a dealer and get proof, that's not a Westminster. Whether it's worth 2000 quid is up to you :)
Where do all the One Life Live It people actually drive off road apart from pay and play sites? It all seems a bit of a dead end unless you actually own a load of land.
I dread to think what that would have cost at the dealer.
Nice work!
Very glad you had all the right kit on and you're OK!
Main Stealer only I'm afraid.
The actual secret is that I really like driving a Range Rover a couple of hundred miles :)
Understood Marty, we'll get through :)
Weekends are going to be very busy again soon with the Christmas rush (we're opening our Christmas market from October 21st for reasons too ridiculous to explain) so I might have to make a lieu day visit during the week if that suits. I don't know what availability I'll have yet, though.
Thanks folks - all synched and working! Obviously that's not going to last with a wibbly microswitch. Time to visit Marty and get a replacement I guess. I wish I'd asked about the Driver's side at Summer Camp as well because the passenger side has been flawless since he gave it a good talking to!
Hey ho.
Land Rover in Pickering want £183 for a new fob (plus VAT I assume). Is that about par? I'm slightly freaked out by only having one fob on a car that won't start without one. My Jeep could be started with a screwdriver if necessary, luckily no-one wants to steal them :)
Hmm that makes sense. I should have realised when unlocking the driver's door and none of the others unlocked. I'm guessing it's the same switch for the central locking?
Marty, how's the weather in Swindon? :)
As for the fob... is it failing to sync? I checked the BECM and the immobiliser is set (which was a surprise, I thought I'd turned it off) so shouldn't it sync automatically in the ignition at position2 - or is that just to start the engine, not the remote locking?
I'm sorry but it's being weird. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!
Symptoms:
- Car fails to lock sometimes when out in France in 37degrees. RH-F open. I put it down to heat.
- Car happy when it cools down, seems OK in the UK.
- Car locked on the fob in the evening, the next morning the fob lights up but the car doesn't unlock. or lock.
- I unlock with the key, as expected the engine won't start so I put in the EKA (using Nanocom). Everything happy exept the fob still won't lock/unlock the car.
- Car now locked/unlocked/starts on the key.
- This morning, Mrs M unlocked the car with the key and the alarm went off/ engine disabled. I had to EKA unlock it again.
Could anyone tell me why the alarm would go off if you lock/unlock with the key?
For bonus points, what do we need to do to restore remote locking? :)
Apologies for the tedious and repetitive subject of this post :(

You'd definitely need air suspension for that to work 😀
