In the UK, thankfully.
:) Bought a P38 Range Rover 2.5 DSE from my boss today. Has a few issues, mainly rear suspension bags have deflated and hot start problem. I have decided to sell all my Series 3 stuff including the 2 vehicles and spend the money on this project. It still has a good bit MOT but tax is out. Must remember to Sorn it.:)

Thanks for the encouragement Grit Valve. Previous owner replaced a rear airbag and they were fine for a few months then they sunk and don't lift now. He also fitted a temp sensor kit thingy to the ECU but it didn't cure the hot start, maybe not fitted correctly.:confused:

Don't put a hot fix on it get sensor checked and your pump adjusted providing your chain tensinor and guides are in good order.

You won't find anything like that with Haynes. Go to the HOW TO section and download RAVE from Wammers EAS guide. That might also help you diagnose the problem with the rear suspension.

And / or talk to Datatek about getting his EAS to computer lead and software on disc. You'll probably need this to sort out your EAS and he burns a copy of RAVE onto the disc as well.
This should keep you going until you sell some of your Series bits and convert a bit of the proceeds into one of the diagnostic kits.

And buy a laptop, daughters one recently gave up.:mad:
 
Nowt wrong with a properly installed timer controlled hot start fix, cheaper and quicker than re-timing.
Better first to find out if the hot start problem is not related to a sensor problem etc.

Yes, the previous owner fitted the hot start kit but he isn't sure if he done it right.
