2012 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 (L322)
Discussion
Oil change done today at 155,088 miles, though I made a meal of an easy job. My £10 Lidl oil pump would not suck a drop but I may have blundered by hooking it up to the vacuum hand pump tank and that may have been too air tight for it - not sure. Anyway, two pumps by hand and away it started. I used the same pump as Sam's M&M. 9.5 litres out/in - I had to empty the tank as it was full at 9 litres.
Costs are (everything from eBay bar the Lidl pump):
Nielsen hand pump £48
Oil from S&A £85 (enough for two changes)
Mann oil filter £16 IIRC
Lidl pump £10
36mm socket £5-ish

Pump ran OK but not a drop sucked. May be my fault though.

Hand action worked fine

It nearly overheated today but I caught it in time. Same scenario as before except this time I have a working heater.
Motorway at 80 on cruise. I came off and did a U turn to go back the way I came. Gave it the gun through the revs and then set cruise. 1 minute later the cruise switched off uncommanded and the temp gauge is at 3/4. I put the heater on max and the gauge returned to half as normal.
I cannot think what is going wrong but it's bloody annoying.
