Chat conversations are lost once you sign out of Facebook, mail in your inbox stays there until you manually delete it. I should also mention that you can turn off chat if you don't feel like it. Go Offline. Going offline doesn't sign you out of Facebook, it just makes you unavailable for chatting. Basically, there are two types of applications or apps for short: those that were created by Facebook and those made by third-party developers. The internal Facebook applications include Notes, Photos, Links, and Video. Third-party applications include games, quizzes, etc. I've talked about my favorite third-party Facebook apps . Where do you find Facebook apps? Click on Applications on the lower left corner of the page and select Browse More Applications. Right beside the Applications button I mentioned above are your bookmarks. By default, you should see icons for Photos, Links, and Notes along with some others. Hovering your mouse on them shows a description of each icon. You use bookmarks as shortcuts to where you want to go.





The other issue with dealerships - and this is not too well known - is that looking cars over for problems kind of goes against what the manufacturer tells them. One of the things carmakers watch closely is the stream of warranty repairs from their dealers. Most manufacturers discourage dealers from looking for problems; they are supposed to respond to customer complaints but they are not supposed to go looking for little things to fix in warranty, unless they are safety hazards. That makes sense from the manufacturer perspective, as they want to keep costs down. Ideally you want an inspector who is a recognized expert on cars like the one you want to buy. Inspecting a 1995 Rolls-Royce is very different from inspecting a 1995 Chevy Silverado. A good used car appraiser can judge the originality and condition of paint on any car, but someone who is accustomed to 鈥渙rdinary鈥?cars may dramatically underestimate the costs to repair cosmetic flaws in Rolls-Royce or other high end vehicles.

Why The Range Rover P38a Deserves Space In Your Garage

Why The Range Rover P38a Deserves Space In Your Garage





The car is complicated and, being a pre-ODB2 vehicle, you need specialist tools to read the electronics. These tools cost serious money; in reality, you can buy a good P38a for the same price as the cheaper diagnostics tools. Most owners bought their P38a because of the cheap market price. For what you get - luxury, comfort, usability - pound for pound, nothing offers more. Handing over 500 sheets for a car, very few then treat the cheap vehicle with any form of mechanical sympathy, resulting in sketchy and poorly maintained P38 Range Rovers flooding the market. Solid examples are now few and far between. In a nutshell, to enjoy driving a P38a you need to want to understand it. Should you just want a car to drive through lakes and hammer over rough terrain, then park up for a month before repeating, a second-generation Range Rover is not for you. If you get to understand the car, you will soon realise that most problems are simple to solve, unlike the electronic issues of more modern cars.





The past couple of days I've been laying out the brake lines, using the purpose-made kit for the Land Rover Series 2 by Automec. I've never used a kit before, so before I give any comments please understand I'm no expert. These are just my subjective impressions. Someone who knows what they're doing could have a completely different view. Good points: Very nicely prepared lines, excellent quality, nice materials. Things I'd like to see done differently: First, much better instructions (it was only thanks to 3 Brothers Classic Rovers that a layout diagram, from the workshop manuals/parts catalogue was included). The kit could really use a detailed instruction manual, saying clearly where the lines should go, where it should be fastened to the frame, the curve radius of the tube where necessary. I'll make the diagrams for Automec, if they like. Secondly, tube lengths. Without a detailed instruction manual or photos, I think the average user would have a hard time making things join up in a neat and certifiably safe way.

We went one city over and had the complete opposite experience. All's well that ends well. I couldn't be happier with my new Discovery Sport I purchased last week. I've been going to these guys for over 10 years, and service has always been great. In particular this time Bill Grimes was excellent throughout the sales process. He was extremely patient with me (i started looking in March) until we found the right car. Once we decided on the car, the actual sales/closing was quite smooth, no hiccups. I'll certainly be going back to Bill for the next one. Today is a holiday! Business hours may be different today. 鈥淢y husband and I bought a car from this dealership last week and had an awesome experience with Bill Grimes!

It is said was inspired by an American World War II Jeep that he used one summer at his holiday home in Wales. The first Land Rover prototype, later nicknamed 鈥楥entre steer鈥? was built on the chassis Jeep and axles. The choice in the morning coding dictated by the forces of military surplus supplies of aircraft cockpit paint, so early vehicles only came in various shades of green light, all models until recently include strong box section ladder-frame chassis. Early cars, such as the Series I, were field-tested at Long Bennington and designed to field needs, ads Rovers cite vehicles driven thousands of miles on banana oil. Now the more complex needs of this under the options. The British Army maintains the use of the mechanically simple 2.5-liter cylinder versions 300TDi Ned rather than electronically controlled 2.5-liter five-cylinder TD5 to service much easier. This engine and continued in use in some export markets using units built a Ford plant in Brazil, where Land Rovers formed under the license and the engine was also used in Ford pick-up trucks built locally.





On earlier motors you鈥檒l find right hand thread bolts. It鈥檚 important to identify which you have. The marks on the bolts tell the story. Left thread bolts are marked 12.9. The bolts are torqued to 148 foot-pounds and then another 戮 of a turn. The practice in Land Rover dealers is to replace the bolt any time it is loosened. We follow that rule here. 1,500. You鈥檒l also need a full kit of workshop tools and a Land Rover scan tool to clear the codes. Those requirements place this repair beyond what most enthusiasts will want to undertake. There is also an element of skill in doing the job, such that a shop that does a lot of these will have a better idea what to look for and get a better outcome in less time. Repair procedures are constantly evolving, and some of the older shortcuts (which some mechanics seem to still take) are not providing lasting repairs.





Next to arrive was this nice SII/Cloud era car, still in the original buyer's family . A few members arrived with cars for sale, including this Bentley Turbo and the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur behind it. We checked out both cars in our service department and felt either could make a nice car for a new owner. In this photo Bob Toti demonstrates the use of the Bentley Omitec scan tool, which is the correct factory tool for testing all pre-VW and pre-BMW Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars from the 1990s onward. RROC member Matt Strauss drive down from Burlington VT in this nice Mulliner Spur. While his car was on the lift he and others admired the engine bay on the Rando car, winner of its class at the 2016 RROC National Meet in Asheville. Alex Turner handles parts at Robison Service. In this photo you can see him with the "Mexico or Bust" car our TCS high school students are preparing to race the Carrera Panamericana through Mexico .

Land Rover鈥檚 Discovery Sport Big On Space, Off-road Ability

Land Rover鈥檚 Discovery Sport Big On Space, Off-road Ability





Other than snow mode, only 鈥済eneral鈥?will likely see regular use with most buyers seldom, if ever, leaving the asphalt. But they can, as a ground clearance of 8.3 inches, approach angle of 25 degrees and departure angle of 31 degrees allow for more than just cottage roads. The Discovery Sport can even wade through nearly two feet of water. Power comes from the same 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder found in the LR2 and Evoque, which produces 240 hp and 250 lb/ft of torque. It is coupled to a smooth and quiet nine-speed automatic, along with standard all-wheel-drive. Launching the two-ton Discovery takes more effort than the lighter Evoque, but it still manages zero to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds - just over half a second slower than its sibling. Body roll isn鈥檛 bad for a tall vehicle, although it is more noticeable than in the sportier Evoque. But then again, you鈥檙e not buying a Discovery Sport to carve corners.





There are plenty of brands diving headfirst into all-electric vehicles, but plug-in hybrids represent an attractive option for introducing customers into the world of vehicular charging without throwing them into the deep end. That's especially important for vehicles and brands with high customer loyalty, like Land Rover. Drivers of the British brand's off-roaders know what they like, so why risk alienating them with an all-electric model when you can introduce them gently to the tech with a plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain? That's just what the brand has done with its Range Rover Sport and Range Rover P400e models. These two vehicles offer usable electric range (according to the manufacturer) and enough all-electric torque to keep loyal customers interested, while sacrificing little of the character and ability that attracted them to the brand in the first place. At least, that seems to be the theory. After driving the Range Rover P400e, the reality is a little different. Good luck spotting the differences between the Range Rover plug-in and its diesel-powered or gas-only siblings.





Do take note that the 2015 Trailblazer competes with the likes of the Fortuner and Montero Sport. Back in 2005, van options which cater mostly to carrying people are set to five brands. In 2015, only two survived but these sold more than they did 10 years ago. Thanks to the popularity of UV Express vans nationwide, interest for these vans had increased especially these can accommodate 15 to 18 people. The Grand Starex, which rivals the two Japanese vans, can be seen in the infograph below. 2015 Grand Starex sales pegged at 1,870 units. Same fate with the category above, the minivans that yo can buy today are only a few when compared 10 years ago. Although the Previa's units sold here are numbered, the Carnival and Odyssey while the Alphard is a huge seller for such an expensive vehicle. Another hotly contested category in 2015, especially most of the vehicles in that year were either upgraded or brand new. 10 years ago, the rivalry is between the Isuzu D-Max and Toyota Hilux since both were new while the others got under the knife later in their existence. Notice the Fuego's position, it was discontinued in 2003 but had outsold the Ranger and Strada.





People think the compressor is the only problem but they are not fixing the underlying issue till they fix the leaks. When they change a strut that shows them how worn the other struts are by that time (as evidenced by ride) and the cure ends up being a compressor, o rings, new struts and maybe some other parts. When people complain about that I point them to the same costs on an S-Class Mercedes, or the even higher costs to do struts and springs on the previous generation of Bentley Continental. The same can be said for control arms, ball joints, and other front end components that wear out a lot quicker than many owners would like. Seldom will a front end in one of these cars have the durability of a Chevy pickup, despite their vastly greater cost. All I can say by way of explanation is that performance and exclusivity have their price, and Bentley suspension work pales next to comparable work on most Ferrari or Lamborghini. The cost of cosmetic repairs continues be higher on Bentley than on other mass-produced cars.





Land Rover has changed hands three times in the past 15 years. India鈥檚 Tata Motors owns it currently. Despite its origin in Ford's EUCD platform, the LR2 has its own unique Land Rover styling and interior appointments. The first thing we noticed as we got into the LR2 was its odd seating position (at least for a modern car). You sit very high, and our arms rested above the belt line by the window. Land Rover installs window switches right next to the windows. Needless to say, we found the layout to be quirky. The LR2 has a seven-inch touchscreen navigation system with an integrated hard drive. There is no navigation knob or control system, which you can probably tell by now is something we've come to expect from luxury-class vehicles. That's a shame considering how much Land Rover charges for an LR2. Still, we had no problem getting the Land Rover navigation system working with our HTC Droid DNA smartphone or accessing music on the iPad.
