Sound advice - I always carry an emergency can of Coke in my glovebox to pour into the Terrain Response system if it ever fails.

So did this just arrive ?
Not had mine at all. Used to get it after I bought the Freelander but now it seems to have stopped.

Uh... what's this "Onelife" thing? Is is some sort of publication that you get when you buy a LR in the UK? Blue

I see. Lucky that you get better treatment over there. The flock in Spain gets no publications, no LR Experience, no nothing. Well, I did get a keychain, rather useless though. Blue

Tim,
Could you post the contact details for 'One Life' so we can all write and claim our issues.

The 'return' address on the magazine is for LR in California, but, in the back of the magazine is a little section that says:
"If you have a Land Rover Story to share with us, write to: Mail Box, Land Rover Onelife, 7 St Martin's Place, London, WC2N 4HA, UK, or Email onelife@redwoodgroup.net"
Im guessing that this is the actual company that 'makes' the magazine.
They're gonna hate me.  Wa Hoo

I have issues 1, 2 and 3 of the UK OneLife magazine in my collection. Issue 1 was sent to my UK address (it's still in the plastic wrapper and the return address is given as Land Rover Administration, PO Box 200, Twickenham, Middlesex, TW2 5AF).
I'm not sure where I obtained 2 and 3, either in the post or from Hunters in Norwich.
Looking at the contents I would guess that these were published yearly from 1999 onwards.
Issue I has the Defender 1999 TD5
issue 2 has the Freelander V6 (launched in 2000?)
Issue 3 still has the Range Rover model before the new one (Latest RR launched in 2002?)
I also have an equivalent US magazine This is called LandRover Journal. I have Issue 5 and it's dated 2000. It covers the Discovery Series II and the Range Rover.
All are what I would describe as 'coffee table' magazines, while at the same time 'posh' brochures! Discovery 3 XS Auto, Stornaway, Active rear diff.

Can of Coke my ass!
Last night I was heading out for a night on the town and while refilling my ‘soda’ an ounce or two of my ‘soda’ spilt into the bottom of the EPB button.
No big deal. I found a handy sock to mop up the small mess.
Later, five miles down the road, I notice my oil pressure light on.
Hmm.
Everything still ‘feels right’ but I pull over anyway for reboot and oil check.
Oil level is fine and I restart without the oil pressure warning. 5 miles down the road the oil pressure warning reappears.
I stop, check oil, its good again. Everything still ‘feels right.’ I say screw it. I end up driving 50+ miles last night with the oil pressure light on and then put me and the LR to bed.
This morning, I check the oil… still good…. At the very top of the dipstick when cold. I run errands totaling 100 miles today and did NOT have the oil pressure light come on!
Did my spillage of a couple of ounces of my ‘soda’ cause this? The light came on 5 miles after I miss-poured. Who knows. I’ll swing by the dealer Monday. Wa Hoo

To be fair, they do quite specifically say Coke, so obviously the little-understood conductive properties of vegetable extracts come into play here.
Although it has to be said, a bit more clarity would be useful - does it have to be Coke Classic? What about all the diet/twist of lime etc varieties? What about Pepsi?
In the interests of research, maybe we should coordinate a controlled experiment whereby we all pour different soft drinks into our consules and comapre results?
Who wants to go first then?
