What did you do with your Range Rover today

Cant stop me now out for another drive yesterday and twice more today
I didn't realise how much I'd missed the old gal

Just got back from my little break, tin tent down to littleHampton and back 18mpg not so good but looks like I have a weep on the injection pump, a part from that tow a dream and didn't miss a beat.

Bet she’s missed you too

Fitted the new temp and crank sensor, no change. disconnected the gas wiring loom from the injectors and it started!! Reconnected the loom and it started again,think it was a corroded connection, we'll see tomorrow.

What do you usually get from the dozzel towing the tent.

A holiday

No it’s not a recovery truck darling we’re on a ‘cruise’
and make sure that’s what you tell the neighbours!
Just returned from the hard shoulder villa in the Wirral

For some reason I thought you had already done the seals on it.

Hopefully finish putting me middle exhaust box on, then finally new water pump and viscous unit

I cannot be sure Brian it's been a while think it was mid 20's the van is 1800kg and I don't hang around. The old Classic with the VM 2.5 gave me 14.5 on a 5 k mile round trip to Southern Spain, we were away for 5 months great adventure roaming around Spain Andorra and France.Saw so many off the beaten track places that tourists never visit.

No not yet, trying to work out if a recon would be better option, i have spare pump of unknown condition i could send for recon but it just mounts up price wise, as if i am doing pump might as well do chains as well and maybe recon injectors

Probably getting close to needing one. Yes, my chains and injectors are in the back of my mind. But then you start thinking piston rings, big end shells, turbo ...

If you don’t have mil lamp flashing Just do the seals for now or your pump will die quick, they are cheap enough, no need to go full strip down yet.
Recon the injectors one at a time, you get one put it in then send the old one off for exchange like @Bagshot did - works out cheap enough and vehicle not layed up for weeks in the rain
If you go the whole hog now you will get carried away for sake of a seal

Nowt, peeing down
