Any help please?? Jaz

Hey guys looks like you were right!! I changed the stepper motor and it still stalls... sometimes. It seems ok in neutral, but the revs drop to below stalling point when pulling up to jucnctions/roundabouts etc. and gosh does it make the steering heavy!! Any ideas gratefully received, or...

The original fault was the engine cutting out at low revs especially when dabbing the throttle when parking etc. (it's an auto). After some advice I took the stepper off and cleaned it and there was a good improvement, although not perfect, but it went worse again after a while. So I took the...

Hi, my stepper motor (idle air valve) needs replacing but new uns are so damned expensive. I've seen one on ebay but advertised for Rover 200 -800 etc. part number C403056730 so it says, I tried to phone the local Landrover dealer but they would not tell me what part number is fitted to my...

Can't see why it wouldn't. You have to take off the bit on the front bumper your number plate fixes to (re-fits to bull bar) and it then mounts on the four centre bolts on the underside, I think they are the current front bumper bolts from memory. Jaz

Hi, you are doing better than me, I can't even find the cruise ECU on my 1995 3.9 auto any pointers? Cheers Jaz

Hi, I am trying again to get some help fixing my cruise control, from the amount I see about with it not working somebody must have some experience!! It used to work intermitently and on the times it did work I could hear a click behind the dash when I operated the steering wheel switch, I can't...

Not sure what they're worth to be honest, how about £50? You would have to collect it though it weighs a ton, looks great fitted though and makes BMWs move out of your way, what more could you want!! Let me know Chris

I have one in Chester, took it off my 1991 disco when I sold it... it has a couple of scuffs on the corners, nothing serious, well I don't think so anyway... was going to chuck it on ebay unless a better offer comes up.

Depends a lot on how/where you drive. I get about 14mpg normally out of my 3.9 V8, but can be all the way up to 19mpg!! on a Motorway drive Jaz.

Hi, sorry it has taken so long to get back, I've only just got round to fixing it. It was exactly as you said, the valve was all gummed up with black stuff, I gave it a good clean and all works well now. Thankyou. Jaz

Sorry, can't find the stepper!! Is it the thing attached to the air intake?? It is the injection engine. Jaz

Hey, and guess what... it still p***es out!! Have just oredered a new flange, will do it all again this weekend!! Jaz

Just a quick update for anyone interested, when I stripped it down the seal mating surface on the output shaft was grooved and corroded. I took it down to a local engineering firm and they skimmed 8 thou off it, there was still some evidence of very slight pitting but we didn't want to risk...

Hi all, here is my next challenge for you to resolve - as it looks like I'll be under the disco this weekend anyway... when I let the throttle off, the revs die back too far sometimes causing it to stall, it seems to be worse when I am 'dabbing' the throttle e.g. looking for a parking space etc...
