wot he sez :D

may not be relevant but I watched a programme the other day where a d3 had the same issue of smoking a lot and it was a split hose. not sure if it was a turbo or intercooler hose but a new hose cured the problem Andy

I have this system on my D2 'x' plate . I use Medway dual fuel for servicing etc. I found them very knowledgeable , I think one of the owners is ex landrover

It will , at least it did on mine :)

what was the final outcome if you dont mind me asking?

Mine is pretty good, its a D2 V8 but it does hunt a little bit so i know what he means. It is quite a crude system using a diaphram and vacuum pump and unless the road is dead flat the throttle is a bit on-off on off. Not in a major way but noticeable. I find I get better mpg not using cruise...

Mine does this on start up. If I start up and idle for 20 secs then its fine . If I pull away too quickly I get the 'groan' I was thinking its either the pump or the belt

I made the mistake of not disconnecting the battery. I 'pumped' it up to full height using the ride height button. switched off engine and disconnected the plug to the sensor . the car then slowly lowered to its bump stops:o I managed to fit the sensors while it was lowered but it was more...

I would also say ride height sensors. change asap as one of mine failed and wasn't inflating when it should making one side do all the work and it went bang. luckily I was stationary at lights. about £30 a side from a main dealer and 10 mins a side to fit yourself. Probably get them cheaper...

thanks for reply auto. I should have mentioned the lambdas were replaced 8000miles ago as well and the plugs were meant to be a hotter grade for lpg. of course with it being a landy then premature failure of all / any of these items is a possibility Andy A diagnostic would be a geat start...

Hi all after some advice please;) Got a d2 v8 lpg and its started 'pinking' under load. not a misfire as such but you can hear the pinking mainly from 2k rpm to 3k. I have done a search and get everything from bottom end to inlet manifold. the leads and coil packs are 8000 miles old the plugs...

if you do a search for leaking sunroofs , all will be revealed. welcome to the leaky sunroof club BTW

I think the 'harsh'(firm is probably better) ride is just the fact that both bags are now working in stead of one . I think the ride height sensor on the side that never popped was faulty and caused the otherside to do all the work, coupled with the fact it was the original bag it couldn't take...

thats what I thought , raised the rear to full height to give me room to work. unplugged the multiplug , and.......... hiss as the back settled onto the bumpstop I never knew that:o so I swapped them over no problem started the engine and the raise suspension light was still lit.and no...

well , changed the bags today , allgoing well until i started the engine and only one side inflated. wiggled the ride height sensor and it cut in inflated a little then stopped. so 2 new ride height sensors later and all seems well. looking at the two old ones i think that only one side has...

mine rolls back on a slope too , remember its a big heavy car and the effort needed to hold it on the clutch of an auto box would probably make it runaway on the flat.

I get the fluctuating idle sometimes as well. I normally put it into neutral and hold the revs at 1500 for a few secs and this will normally bring it back in line. It only seems to happen on mine if it is hot in slow moving traffic or I have slowed down suddenly after a high speed run. was it a...

I did look closely at the sensors but i couldn,t see anything broken / missing. I was going to replace the bags and check again once the system is all up and running (and hopefully stopping) The bag that blew was an original so its 10 yrs / 110k miles old , I have taken them both off and it was...

ordered bags today £155 for a pair including new clips and express delivery. Stealers quoted £450:eek::eek: and I would have to drive and pick them up

It did cross my mind , but it is useful being able to lift it a bit to get the towbar out of the banks as i come downhill. I think that being a 7 seater there are type approval issues as well
