Pulled the stepper, was sooty but not full of carbon, cleaned it with carb cleaner. Is the plunger supposed to pull up and down by hand, it hardly moves. I also read that the plunger should move with inginition switched on, didn't. While I was at it I pulled the hose from AFM to plenum and...

Thanks will check, was working fine and will drive but only if I hold it on the brake to build the revs up and off she goes. Could this be due to low fluid.

Have you been pulling up on the rotor arm to get it off, this may have popped the little collsr sleeve which is directly under the rotor arm and as a result the up and down travel and side to side is all sloppy. I have done this as mine was seized on and took me ages to work out that the rotor...

Thanks I can drive it, just have to hold the foot brake and build up the revs before shifting into drive. May be a connection to H/L as I was lubing the linkage and shifting it to loosen up. Definately something stoppingt tickover/run when shifted out of park :(

Hope someone can point me the right direction. Just got the V8 3.9 EFI up and running again after several weeks, charged battery, new dizzy cap, rotor & leads (Genuine LR - been the naff cheap route before). Few squirts of carb cleaner in the filter and away it went. Start and ticks over fine...

Thats the beauty of a Rover V8i, works fine one day and not the next ! Becomes a process of elimination. Vacuum hose pulling air in, Fuel pump packing up, OK on tick over but not under load, the temp sensor telling ECU to send wrong fuel mix, gummed up breather on top of LH rocket cover, or...

I drove from Bournemouth to Manchester in a RR Classic, had 31x10.50.15 Tyres and with overdirive, still cost me £80 and I was sensible with the go pedal.
