Check both breather lines for blockage, do not forget to check short pipe from RH side valvecover after taken hose off. There is oil separator which can be blocked and causing problems. I had severe idling problems last winter, found nothing wrong and Rovacom shows nice readings and no codes...

Just replaced condenser to my -97, relatively easy job. Bought new condenser from FamousFour, no bad words. Put some words to RR.net... :rolleyes: http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8156

After jump start, i just had "GEARBOX FAULT" which disappeared after short period. Didn´t drive anywhere before fault disappered Earlier, when my alternator dies and battery went flat during driving due to all electrical power taken from battery, i got "GEARBOX FAULT" and car was difficult to...

I wouldn´t recommend starter, except in emergency. I had to start mine with starter unit recently and car didn´t like it. It may not do any harm to ECU:s(they went littlebit confused), who knows, but alternator works too hard when it trying to charge empty battery. EAS, and gearbox ECU wasn´t...

Hi, mine have somekind of small rubber piece inside of vent. It seems to be tight enought that it expands grille and helps it staying in. RH side been like that over one year, LH needs same soon. It started to lift from dash... :(

Jack it up ,so you can rotate wheels by hand. I had bad bearing and it was very hard to say which wheel it is, turning by hand you should feel some unsmooth if bearing is bad enough. Bearing is possible to replace, but it need big hydraulic press and maybe good equipments to get hub hot.

Check my thread about bad alternator... i had strange drain issues. This could be different issue, due to my BECM goes sleep and current drain goes less than 0.05A. http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5827

Most likely broken heater element on seat cushion, or connector loose under seat. You can check elements by multimeter, if found "open loop", your element (or termostat) is broken. Connector(s) easily reachable under seat. Is there some airbags in seats? Just check right connectors.

I bought compressor repair kit for spare, cost +50euros. Nice little gadget. Seems that best way to avoid problem is collect spare parts for advance... :) Really recommend to buy some "essestial" before they fails. Small piston-connecting rod-counter weight combination, it came from...

If there is water in the system, tank is easiest place to check it. Big trucks have drain vent in air tanks also... it is daily basis to drain tank. :)

You can drain air tank, slowly open drain plug and let air came out. There should be grooves on threads which let air out before whole plug is flyin like bullet. Be careful anyway and do it at your own risk. My EAS seems to be in good order, as it stays up days if it is parked level and no...

I have aftermarket stereo, plugs in directly. I am not sure about spacers, but there is somekind of plastic trims on the ends of stereo. They were solid, so i didn´t hassle with them when updating unit. (PO have poor Grundig installed, replaced it with new unit which plays MP3:s from USB-stick)...

I don´t know your register numbers, but if it is 3,5 it is -89 or older. Is that what you ask? :o -91 have 3,9EFI.

Your battery is low, i had this message just recently. I have current leak somewhere and battery goes weak in 24h, it starts engine, but weaker than normal. Gearbox fault comes to screen, but it goes away after driving good trip.

P38 could be more expensive to repair, but if you are handy, you can save lot of money. Especially incompetent repairshops can make huge bills just by replacing everything... due to incorrect, or lack of troubleshoot. I have -97 4,0 and i am happy with it, offcourse more power would be nice...
