Thanks KDS. I have seen references to the figure of eight thing but I didn't realise that was to exercise the coupling. I'll definitely give it a try after putting the knackered tyres back on first! One initial thought I had, was to get at the coupling and direct a hot air gun on it, on the...

Thanks Guys, Come to think of it, this one does have a Classic badge on the back, so its probably the same as yours (we have three Range Rovers and at least one is a Vogue). I can't make the high/low lever go from side to side, but I do get a lot of tyre noise when turning, so the viscous...

I've just got an '89 RR V8 Vogue automatic running again, after being out of use for the last three or four years. As far as I can make out, it is jammed in 'Diff Lock', and judging by all the tyres being bald, it had probably been jammed before it was taken out of use due to a brake problem...

If you are looking for a soft top 90, I might be able to help. Our gliding club has a soft top 90 with a 2.5 normally aspirated diesel engine, which we would consider selling for the right offer. It is in good all round condition, except for the main gearbox, which is jammed. It was in...

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query. I have followed Diesel Jim's fault finding sequence, and, as the engine stalls with the transfer box in neutral, and the main gear lever in any position, it would appear that the problem is in the main gearbox. I think we will probably replace the...

I'm sure that doing this will seem like sacrilege to most of you, but maybe you can advise. I help look after the vehicles for our gliding club, and our 1985 military spec. Land Rover 90 with a 2.5D engine (presumably the original) has got a gearbox fault, in as much as it will go into gear...
