    Range rover classic v8 won't start when hot?

    Yeah I changed the one on top of the engine which I was told was for the ecu, I heated them both up and used a meter to check which voltage dropped quicker and turns out the old one was pretty screwed so was worth changing for the sake of a few quid but hasn't made any difference at all :(

    I've changed the temp sensor and oil pressure switch as someone recommended me to but made no difference, how could I check the air leek in the inlet? Maybe spray brake cleaner on the inlet and see where it makes a difference?

    Range rover classic v8 won't start when hot?

    My rrc 3.9 v9 pretty much always refuses to start when hot I've changed the plugs when I did the service last week and that still hasn't cured the problem, only way I can get it going is by restricting the fuel going to the engine by putting a pair of grips on the flexie fuel hose from the tank...

    I've still got all the bags the tank is still on the car but is in perfect condition so could be removed and as I haven't removed the ecu and stuff I'm guessing it's all there just haven't checked it out, if it's any good to you then more than welcome to come have a look mate?

    All there was left to do now was dislocation cones and some nice 35" tyres with an even wider rim so managed to get a banging deal, traded my old wheels and tyres in and 250quid later left with a brand new set of rims and some part worn tyres

    After a couple of trips out I soon realised my arch gap was no where near good enough and I kept taking chunks out of my new tyres so along came the grinder and the wider arch kit removal of front bumper and anything I could get rid off from the rear end, then I started getting a little happy...

    So I wasn't expecting much from the tyres that were on it so went and got some new rims with a bigger offset to get a wider track and some slightly bigger tyres with plenty of meat on them to get me up some local hills and around the local off road motor bike track
