Hi there, I am new to this site and would welcome some advice on my 1995 Range Rover 2.5 DSE.

I have a problem with it starting when it has been running say for 30 miles. If I stop the engine it will not start again for about 10-15 mins, although on a shorter run say 5 miles it does not do it. Has anyone got any suggestions please.

Cheers

Rachael

could possibly be you fuel filler vent is blocked and causing a vacuum in the fuel tank, take it out for a long run. stop the engine, if it dont start then undo the fuel filler and try again

Hi Gegs

Thank you for your responce, I tried that but it seems as if something must be overheating because if I let it cool down for 10 mins it starts again.

Thanks Data, it does not look like an easy job, looking on the threads you have to take the battery off and I dont have the code lol.
