Hey, DO you have a copy of Rave? (the workshop manual) It would be easier for you to look at the diagrams and then it would be all clear. If there isnt any leaks then i would suspect the pipes and fitting are all sound as they are pressurized. Grey/white smoke is unburnt fuel.

bulbs blown............................ I assume you have checked the bulbs????

The main reason the re-sealing isnt always successful is that the shafts get rusty up inside where the seal is. so instead of having a nice clean shaft to run against its on a rusty pitted shaft. AS for the drop arm.......If the box has been leaking for a long time they can just fall off...

What I have done before is taken the pipe off of the fuel filter from the bleed valve and turned the ignition on. Really there shouldnt be any fuel coming out, air may come out if its in the system. When you park it in different positions does the fuel pump make different noises when the...

one thing i would quickly check is whether any of the intake hoses were collasping or restricting airflow to the turbo ( including intercooler)

There is a valve in the fuel filter housing. This valve allows air through and fuel untill it becomes wet then it only allows air through. Its situated (if looking at filter through the rear wheel arch) on the left hand side and the nearest fitting to you. Basically theres four pipes that come...

Does it lose power? To be badly black smoking its got to be over fueling.

Fuse? Broken wiring? I would want to know whether power was getting to the fuel pump and whether the fuel pump was suppling fuel at the correct pressure and flow. Usually you hear a pump noise or screach like a cat in pain! More so when the filter is blocked or after renewing it. Generally when...

Another little tip that can be used on core plugs, which I have done 100's of times is to freeze the new core plug prior to fitting. This has the effect of slightly shrinking it which makes it ever so easy to fit. Desired coldness can be achieved by putting it in the freezer or using a great...

I think the air suspension isnt that bad on these. The major prob i seen with them is water build up in the system but this is easily sorted by renewing the air receiver/ drier at servicably intervals. If left this buggers the compressor. Air bags are easy to change and the air suspension is a...

Also matters if its near a seat belt anchorage or body mount. usually within 6 inches is a fail.

I have heard through a few sources that the ford engine in these models has been tweaked to allow slight variations in fuel by landrover/ford. Where as the same engine in ford vehicles is only suitable for diesel. My understanding was that because of the use this vehicle gets ie agriculture ect...

haha maybe it comes flatpacked! I bet it sounds nice. I seen one of those gmc v8's in a range rover classic, u feel the ground vibrate before you see or hear it! With a turbo on it must sound awesome!

Haha VERY SPECIAL!
