My injectors are original on a 1995 and past 180k miles. Didn't look bad when I had them out last year.

Normally black on start up, it'll chug a little then run properly. Normally when one or two glow plugs go down it'll be a long crank to get it fire up🫣

Market demands are created by marketing departments to suck in the gullible.

Stating the obvious, handbooks are best kept in the car, no use in the cupboard. Have you checked for binding brakes? With any Range Rover, best to never leave home without diagnostics to hand IMO, you would then know what the problem is/was...

I have no idea what the red and yellow warnings are, they will be in the owners handbook. However the faults were transient so maybe due to an overheat of engine or gearbox. If it were me I would risk the drive but go carefully and limit my...

Took the words from my mouth:(

White smoke on start up is usually unburnt fuel from bad glow plugs

Ok thanks again, I'll do the leak off pipe's this weekend... I do have new pipe.. and I'll add some cleaner in the fuel. The injection pump was refitted by a trusted friend, that was leaking too, but yes it performed much better too after he set...

Comment probably applies to any modern car, all disposable just that some cost more than others. LR lost the plot decades ago, but to be fair they have to design/build what the market demands in order to stay in business. Q. if JLR built a...

muppet.

You may have to have it go down then repatriation route🫣

That I couldn't tell you from memory tbh, it was about 4yr ago. I can ask Elliott if he remembers 👍

My son used an earlier version of the condenser in his 2001 38' but we do have a 1996 38' and were able to use the aircon pipes to get it to work like an earlier model.

Pump comes off easily enough but that's jumping the gun IMO. You need to prove the pump is the source of the noise first, a mechanics stethoscope would help. If it is the pump that's noisy, try an oil change first.

I would be surprised if the injectors need replacing. If the FIP has been refurbished, is the modulation correct? Glow plugs, Beru, NGK or Delphi. Leak off pipes use Gates reinforced pipe. The leak off's self bleed.

Are you sure its the injector leaking and not the leak off rubber pipes also the no 4 injector is expensive mght be an idea to add some injector cleaner to the fuel.

Any fuel leak is an air leak meaning fuel dropping back to the tank... Long start/crank. 👍

+1 to glow plugs But get good ones beru are good and oem

Not all of them👍

Difficult to start from cold is usually glow plugs

Fitted a stereo with DAB and Bluetooth (complete with external microphone). Works very well. Can change the colour to match the dash too. Sony MEX-N7300BD, if anyone is interested.

New abs sensor to get rid of the 3 amigos.. Wonder how long they'll stay out for ;)

Just took possetion of a P38 DHSE 2001, had a 4.0ltr petrol gas converyed around the yr 2000, a much newer machine but was still a handfull even then. Looking to buy a Nanocon , expecting a few more problems this time around. My Discovery TD5...

Yes almost instantly I get good idle, I am able to raise and lower the car.

But does EASunlock initialise now ?

Actually looking at the picture I think there was slightly more room for adjustment. Think it was the high pressure lines stopping it's rotation any futher.

Not sure about US suppliers, but I have used both X8R eBay & 4x4airseals. X8R also has their own website. Definitely check duty & shipping for each. Bottom line cheap compressor repair kits will mean you have to do it again soon !!

Usually best to make sure the compressor & valve block are working before replacing the airbags.
