James is spot on here, something is not working correctly with your rear axle, rear prop or your transfer box, as a single broken halfshaft should not lose all drive, you need to look further. Try jacking up one rear wheel only and then try to spin it, if you can you have a broken rear halfshaft...

Thanks Mike, I'll take some pics at the weekend, when there's some light around and then post them Saturday night!

I'd agree with dogsbody, it's much easier to take the seat out, and remove the entire leather covering, when you do there are are two connectors, you need to link out the one that connects to the seat back with a wire link, so that you create one continuous loop in the seat base, it's always the...

In my experience, once the inhibit switch has been operated, the ride height will not change at all. It's hard to gauge how often the pump runs, again in my experience, it runs a lot around town (maybe for about 20 seconds every few minutes), but very little on the motorway (never notice it...

My 1993 classic has 187010 miles recorded. I've done over 100,000 of those miles and it's still a great car.:)

Thanks for your reply Wammers, but I'm not convinced, as I have had the unit working today, although it was reading about 3 mph fast over a range of 0 - 80mph. However, if you are right that I have destroyed it using this technique, how are you supposed to dismantle the unit? Or is this not...

No, there's no bleed, the vacuum advance works at speeds not that much above tickover, you'll see if you look carefully at the inlet manifold that the takeoff point for the vac. advance is just downstream of the throttle butterfly (closer to the air intake), at tickover it has no vacuum applied...

Hello everyone, I have a 1993 Range Rover Classic, recently I could not reset my trip counter, so I have stripped down the speedo to rectify the problem. I have found and fixed the problem with the trip meter, but to get at it I had to remove the dial and needle from the speedo. I had to pull...

Could be worth checking for an air leak on the inlet tract, I've seen all sorts of bits work loose on LPG conversions, engine runs ok at higher revs as there is plenty of fuel around, at low speeds you run short on fuel with too much air via the leak. Look for an air leak and check everything to...

I would store them away safely for the day you may want to replace them, you know how people like original setups :) After fitting the K&Ns you will need to get your carbs set up on a rolling road dyno though, if you don't your engine will likely run weak at higher revs, leading to lots of...

Don't skim the heads at all unless they are warped, which is unlikley as you have had no problems; if you went for a 0.5 mm skim, then I think you would need to get the inlet manifold skimmed too, or you could have problems sealing the valley gasket. Higher compression ratios can lead to all...

Kenlowe make a "hot start" device that is basically an electrical heater that you plumb into the bottom hose, it has its own pump and given about 15 mins and a 240V supply it will warm your engine up to near enough operating temperature, no need to touch your security system either. Nice for you...

These strange sorts of electrical problems are nearly always down to bad earths. Is the lamp on brightly, or is it slightly dimmed? Do the indicators glow at all when the trailer lamp is on? If so, check the earths on your headlamps.

Wow, the number of cynical posts on this thread, anyone would think that these cars were really bad :D, what would we all say about cars we hated? My favourite would have to be my 27mm socket, for virtually every job you have to take at least one wheel off

I've not used their filters, but I've had some very poor quality headlights from BritParts, and I seem to remember an air spring that was no good either (although I'm not certain that it was a BritPart) on the other hand, I rebuilt my front diff using their bearings and they were fine, so it's...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this issue, I'll be asking my local MOT station to carry out a road test rather than risk the rollers! The idea of contra rotating wheels sounds like a good one though, I've not heard of that idea before.

Does anyone know whether a RRC viscous coupling is likely to be damaged by an MOT rolling road brake test, if a two wheel road is used, as this is all that most garages have? My MOT is due shortly and I really don't want the brake test to damage my new viscous coupling. On a similar vein, is it...

Thanks for the detailed explanation Datatek, that makes perfect sense to me now :)

Ok, thanks to everyone who has replied and I understand what people are saying, but this doesn't justify the diff being there totally to me. Datatek seems to have the best explanation and I'm interested in the applications that use solely a VC, as this seems a reasonable course of action. I...

I've been studying my Borg Warner transfer box lately, mainly due to the fact that the VC unit has seized and broken numerous parts of the transmission; until that is, it was identified as the problem. My question is this: Why has this transfer box got a differential in it at all? Why is the VC...
