I had a similar problem on a freelander, which also has a variable vane turbo, after some head scratching I checked the vacuum pipes that run across the top of the engine and down to the actuator and found that the pipe had worn through at one of the securing clips which therefore meant that the...

Dipstick far more reliable, my sports got the electronicy thingy and gives a different reading everyday, I think it goes up and down in sync with the weather barometer :rolleyes::D

Well said that lady !!! :D:D

Replaced front brake pads p**s easy :D:D

Wow good job :) Used to do all my own until I got my sport now scared to death of all the electrickery thingemibobs, that said just replaced front brake pads today, p**s easy :D

Nice one Gary, despite grazed knuckles a most satisfying job I’d say, especially saving 750 squid. :)

Haven’t got 18 stones will bricks do instead ? :rolleyes:

Oh I take it you mean the table and not summat you’ve been watching on the tinternet :rolleyes::D

Oho naughty boy mind that ticker and watch out for gold rover, porn indeed :rolleyes:

Nice find saint re rangers, I recently found a similar firm called LVB in Doncaster, not young petrol heads but middle aged real mechanics who cut their teeth on spanner’s not flipping computermebobs. :rolleyes:

If all else fails revert to 2lb ball pein and a good sharp cold chisel If in doubt chop it out :D:rolleyes:

Collected 25 rolls of turf, good test for new suspension compressor and no faults, whoopeeeeeee :):D

Quite right, Stuart I sometimes wonder why to some it appears unthinkable that there could be ladies with a wealth of technical knowledge on these cantankerous beasts.:rolleyes: I,m sure had the question been asked to all then Goldrover probably would have the answer and freely given said info...

Well done that man or woman :rolleyes: Slap in the face with a wet fish for the stealers :D

Mmh my sport passed the mot end of June with the dreaded “normal ride height only” amber dash warning on. Tester said that if suspension was at normal height with no drop on any corner he was obliged to pass it as the warning light was Amber and not red. Just another point for anyone with multi...

Finally bit the bullet and had a new suspension compressor fitted £510. Yeah “normal height only” gone :):) Kept the old one, when I get 5 minutes playtime gonna strip it down see what was wrong. New front pads and oil change next week then she’s ready for winter barring a good wax polishing :D

Aha ! The fog of ignorance hath lifted :):rolleyes:

What’s a skelf please :oops: Is the same as getting kingcoff from sitting on a cold step ?:D:D

Take it back, there is a problem with the turbo on the 3ltr diesel, Landrover know all about it. It is I believe related to the oil return from the turbo. It was apparently too low in the sump so that when the little turbo (of the 2) which is meant to reduce lag during heavy accel spools up it...
