Hi all Considering an XL7 for the 7 seats and easy access to the back, but what's it like off road? I've read that the std Grand Vitara is pretty good (Land Rover Recovery Vehicle, someone said!) but with the xtra length would the xl7 be OK? Looked at a Disco but price and practicality with the extra seats is a problem. Shogun and Amazon are just toooooo big (and expensive!).

Hi all, I'm looking at a SUZUKI VITARA JX 4 U. It's "S" reg. and has an asking price of £1750. Could anyone PLEASE tell me if this seems like a good buy, the underside looks good with no mud or rust. Any known faults I should look out for? I'm not sure if the timing belt has been changed and the car has done

Hi all Looking at my hubbies message about Big 4x4's....can anybody advise on reliability, running costs etc, etc, etc of either a LWB Landcruiser (say 97-98 onwards upto the last face change - 52 reg or thereabouts) or the Amazon. Again, we'd be interested to know about towing with one Cheers

I bought a new X-trail in April of this year and I've recently had a letter from Nissan asking me to take it to a dealer to have some engine management components changed. Anyone know what they are and how serious is it? (unfortunately I've mislaid the letter). Tom

I have the Eureka! replacement immobiliser, the genuine LR one thet replaces the spider. I Have the gold master fob and two green ones , one of which does not work. Does anyone know how to program in the fob that doesn't work? John.

Is anyone selling a 4x4? John

Hi I have a 2004 Nissan Terrano II and am looking for a floor to ceiling dog guard that will permit me to drop the rear seats for luggage etc. It needs to fit independently of any other support. Does anyone have any idea where I can get such a beast. I don't mind a bit of drilling to fit it TIA. Ian

Hi Anybody out there got any experience towing/living with the new Nissan Pathfinder. Thinking of changing cars soon, currently driving a Volvo XC70, excellent car but after 5 Volvos I just fancy a change. Any comments appreciated.

LPG Rangie Vogue SE, 3.5 V8 Runs fine, but seems to pressurise the cooling system a bit much, loses about a litre of coolant a week, temp gauge never rises above about 1/4 and that's during hard use - towing at speed, for example. Slight misfire when first started after a day or two (LPG or gas, misfire not a backfire) which clears within a mile or so. No oil in water / water in oil /...

There's a '55 short wheel base Land Rover with a "For Sale" sign on it; just down the road from me. I'm tempted (haven't had one since about 1970). Any advice? Anything in particular I should watch out for? Thanks.

I'm thinking of buying one of these. Around £25 on ebay. I know nothing at all about them. Are the more expensive ones that connect to a PC more useful? I have a '99 ford explorer, and get the Suspension warning light, only when towing my caravan, and only after about an hour. If I stop and switch off the engine all OK until about another hour of towing. Thought maybe a reader might give me...

About 15 - 20 years ago, someone like Monroe produced some shock absorbers which had a rubber skirt/bellow around it. This could be inflated with a compressor or foot pump to raise the suspension. They were intended for the backs of cars, to lift the rear end when towing or heavy loads in the boot. But some of the guys who built 4x4 specials for trials used them with a degree of success. Can...

Hey everyone, I'd like to ask your advice, or at least the advice of all of you who are either interested in, or already involved in, creating income from the internet. I'm not exactly experienced in on-line money making, in fact all I've managed so far is money losing! I don't suppose anyone gets it completely right first time so I'm sure you all know what I mean. Probably my failings are due...
