I would suggest you get a spare water pump gasket as it is a fiddly bugger to fit, it keeps sliding off the pump when your trying to lower it into position lining up the bolts, what i do ( probally a cheat ) is fix the new gasket to the pump with sikaflex the night before, it makes reasembly...

Forgot to say, on the fingers crossed side it may only need the gearbox oil and filter changing, seems to have helped a few posters on the site. Good luck anyway, this will be the first problems of many...thats why we love them so much. bob

If it sold as salvage, then you have no chance.......did you buy it cheap??, sold as seen?? etc From a salvage company if you read the small print you will normally see, sold as seen no warranty given or implied( ie, you pays your money and takes your chance) I bought an 2002 L332 from...

Get the best quality pads you can, the rear discs are 354mm, save yourself any hassle and replace the brake wear sensors at the same time....it's an easy enough job to do so go for the lot. If memory serves me right when i done mine, 4 new discs, new pads and sensors all round was about £250...

When the engine had the work done last year, where all the rubber gaskets replaced, especially the small grommett style ones on/in the camshaft covers, like all rubber gaskets they go brittle/hard in time and loose there sealing capabilitys. Another possible cause is the top timing chain...

Charge or replace the battery, as Matt say's it's one of the first signs the battery is low on charge, turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times, and it should dissapear

It is at the left hand side of the engine, buried away under the cowl, you will need to remove a few bolts, trims and covers to get at it, bit fiddly but aint to hard of a job

Dont know what the spare plug does, but mine has one aswell

As Bemble say's, it's not nessacary to remove the fan it just makes it a bit harder, having done the job a few times you will find removing the fan (should you wish to) the hardest job of all, unless you can get or make a tool which locks the fan bolts, allowing you to release the big securing...

Matt, Thanks for the reply and your advice, i am bidding for a key at the moment and will keep my eyes open to see if any others turn up. bob

As a newcomer to the site and a newcomer to Range Rover l332, i can only say it has been an eye opening reading the the threads that the likes of BBS man has started and contributed to...how can anyone know that much about the vehicles electrics and diagnostics??. It is great that we, as...

Hi, The keys i recieved when i bought my 2005 TD6 are in poor condition, one of the fobs is knackered with water damage, however the key starts the engine. The other key fob opens and closes the the doors etc with no problem, but the actual key will not start the engine........hence i need...

Sorry my post was not of any help Matt, have you had the car on any diagnostic machine just in case one of the ECU'S shows a fault..just a thought incase theres a faulty contact on one of the doors or tailgate drawing a small current bob

I had a local ( tyne and wear ) guy adjust the values in the ECM using a T4 testbook, although i have a Launch X431 which can do it i left it to the proffesionals as he was also carrying out a remap of the ECM at the same time (TD6). bob

From the ones i have seen, the towbar assembly bolts onto the rear chassis legs, not ever seen one welded on, however your best bet may be to take it to one of your local towbar fitters who could get it up on a ramp to have a better look at it bob

Do you have a list of the fault codes ??, where the codes cleared by the garages, if so have the same codes reappeared during various diagnostics. bob

Matt Did you get this sorted??, i had a similar problem on my 2002 4.4 petrol when i tried to connect my Launch x431, i traced it to 2 problems, the first one was a blown fuse in the passenger fuse box which was not providing 12 volts to the X431 ( although the unit would still power up by...

Matt, I had a similar battery drain on my TD6 when i got it, a few days not starting the car and the battery was flat, i fitted a new battery approx 3 months ago and never had a problem again even leaving after leaving the car for a few weeks at a time....maybe i was just lucky. bob
