Reading through the rave cd, the transmission ecu also looks at the aat (absolute air temperature) and changes the point at which it locks up. This is to prevent the box from locking out when it is cold

The control unit also looks at the external air temperature. If it is below a certain limit, I think about 8, then it extends the time it waits before locking out in 4th. This is normal

If this noise is only apparent from cold then it will be the air injection system that was fitted to reduce emissions when the engine is cold. There are vacuum valves that open when the engine is cold, and an electric pump on the bulkhead. Air is pumped into the exhausts until the engine has...

Thanks for that T1g UP. Bit of an update. The engine warning light has reset itself, on the V8 if the fault is not there for a number of consecutive starts, the warning lights reset. I will get the fault log cleared however. Update on the gearbox, turns out that I had not put the cable bracket...

Hi. Can anyone help me. My wifes disco 2 v8 had a misfire which bought on the engine warning lamp. I have fixed the problem, the warning light hasn't reset itself, and the gearbox is changing gear at 4000rpm when in kickdown. Is this a strategy the gearbox ecu adopts when there is an engine...

Thanks for that. They look exactly the same, so I'm not going to worry about it now. Live in Ireland, car in for its nct (mot) next week, will report back if anything noticed.

Hello there, relative newbie to this forum. Can anyone help me. Purchased genuine front shock absorbers from Rimmer for my wifes 2003 v8 disco 2. The part number is rnb103694. I have removed the old ones, and these are part number rnb000270. Can anyone tell me the difference, apparently the...

I think this gearbox actually has lock up on all gears, if you drive with the box in third you will find it also locks out in that gear. Also, the lockout only activates after the box is warmed up, so it won't happen immediately, this is determined by engine temperature, air temperature and a...

Mine did this whilst on holiday in Ireland this year. I found myself a local welder, we drilled out the old welds, put some thick welding rod in and welded it all back up. It now works as intended and saved me god knows how much money.

I bought a 2003 v8 last year, and got a gas conversion fitted. Mine has the original petrol tank replaced with 2 gas tanks under the boot floor giving 64 usable litres for around £26.00. This gives a range of between 170 to 200 miles depending on use and driving style. The petrol tank is moved...

Hi, newbie here with a worrying problem. I have got a 2003 v8 series 2 auto. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a strange vibration under acceleration from about 40mph upwards to 55 ish. It appears to be worse under full(!!) acceleration, and when you back off onto the overrun, it goes smooth. At...

Hi, first post as a newbie, have however already fixed a couple of issues with my car with info from this site. Well useful. I bought my car ( actually, my wife will tell you it is hers!) last year, and after the warranty expired, got a gas conversion fitted. Mine is a Prins fully sequential...
