    L320 TDV8 Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) - repair??

    Hi all - I have an RRS L320 with an SAS issue. (SAS, not clock spring). Ive got it apart, and all the teeth are intact, on each wheel, all aligned correctly, and greased. Nothing looks to be blown / an issue visually on either of the small PCB's. Does anyone have info / diagnostics steps...

    Steering angle

    Hi - speaking as a Range Rover Sport L320 owner, the clock spring is not part of the steering angle circuit. The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) measures the steering wheel's angle and speed and talks to the ABS system, EAS, and other vehicle systems. The clock spring is just electrical connectors...

    Island 4x4 website - broken?

    Hi all - this is really interesting. Im wondering if anyone can advise about my current issue. Island have been superb in the past, but I recently bought a bonnet catch that's faulty so I need to exchange it. No problem. But I just cannot get hold of Island. I emailed them directly nearly 2...

    Distributor to coilpack conversion?

    Both good points, thanks. Yes, coating in a non conductive grease / paste will help also. it’s going to be one of those requirements where there is no single solution. Everything mentioned here will help. Great advice - thanks!

    Distributor to coilpack conversion?

    Yes, that's fair. I was looking to understand more about the option, and whilst there is at least one solution (mega squirt), for me, now, its more hassle and cost that I want to commit. At least I now know! :)

    Distributor to coilpack conversion?

    Yes - I saw the megasquirt page also. Alas their system - which does look to do this - is a lot more than just dizzy cap replacement. It’s the entire wiring loom and ecu (I believe) amongst other components to time the spark etc. I’ll read around megasquirt a bit more, but it’s looking like...

    Distributor to coilpack conversion?

    Hi all, Forgive a noob query, but in trying to make the whole of my 3.9 v-belt engine water / deep wade proof. I head about bypassing the dizzy, and using [Ford Mondeo??] coil packs instead, to crest a more powerful controlled spark,and provide a waterproof system. Is this all correct? Can...

    Do it, P38-DFX! I know the kits fit a Discovery or classic RR - not sure about a P38, but with 'a little' engineering, anything is possible. A P38 Dakar would be something id like to see!
