That's interesting and helpful - one less thing to worry about! Thanks.

Before buying the RR, I looked at common issues here and across the web. Since I've had it, the car, truck, van, jeep, whatever, has been reluctant to unlock using the key fob. I have to stand very close to the front doors and point the fob directly at the IR receiver. Even then, it can take...

The invoices from the garage up north don't show the error codes and I can't raise the garage owner at the moment. Just on the off chance, I dropped in to my local garage. They have the Solus kit and can look at the issue. Just to make some headway, I might ask them to look at the error codes...

Cheshire?

thanks. So the sensors are most likely culprits. Can anyone recommend a good indie in the Kingston/Surrey/South West London area?

this will come as no suprise. It's back! This time, the car was just mooching along in traffic. Maybe 35mph. The height/mode indicator on the dash has all the leds lit and the dash shows the RR/up arrow icon It hasn't dropped into limp home mode: it's still high but not going up or down. I'm...

not my wallet - the seller paid. I'll get the full details of what was done, but the old compressor is in the boot, so they changed it for sure. ...and PM Datatek. I'm on a Mac, so I'll need to borrow my sons Windoze laptop for all of this.

thanks for that. I'll get the full report over then. See what they changed.

Well, that was easy. Spoke to the seller, who took it to an independent and 'fixed' the fault. Which came back within 30 miles. So he took it to a LR dealer, who diagnosed the sensor in the (reconditioned) compressor. One new compressor at £250 and it's perfect. It's got a few rattles and...

Guys, thanks VERY much for the replies. The download will start as soon as I've posted :D Clearly I'm new to RRs, but I've got a reasonable amount of mechanical knowledge and a high (tech/cost/reliability) fear threshold from running seriously tuned Ducatis. My initial thinking was that as...

Today, we've gone to pick the vehicle up ('97 RR HSE). It drove superbly at all speeds but after half an hour, the dashboard went Apollo 13 with EAS Fault issues. Big suprise to the current owner as he'd never seen the issue before. It was around 50mph, where the vehicle is trying to go into...

well, the RR is arriving tomorrow. My buddy is going oop norf to pick it up and if it passes inspection, it will be coming back. Can't wait! He's got a list of things to look for from the buyers guide here and elsewhere. Also, got an excellent insurance deal. Admiral was the same price for...

Hi, my first post. I've wanted a range rover for as long as I can remember. Back at the end of the eighties, I got very close to buying a new Vogue in London. I've been thinking about getting one for a couple of years now - the reason I joined up here - and have just bought one on ebay. A...
