I get 26mpg mixed driving and 29 on a long run from mine, pushing it along I'm down to 23 driving like an old fart and I can get 31/32. I think it picks up the mpg from the throttle position sensor and the speedo for distance. I don't think it gets a feed from the injection as fitting a tuning...

Two things to cure almost all starting issues (I said almost!!) 1. leak off pipes, these allow air in and the diesel drains back from the injectors meaning you have to crank for ages to start it. 2. no glow plugs when warm/hot, the time delay relay fix found on ebay works well and gives you a...

Bear in mind that if you fit a chip or tuning box (as I have) the mpg computer doesn't know so when it looks at the throttle position and engine revs etc to work out how much is being used it won't allow for the extra fuel being injected and it will get it wrong. Since fitting the tuning box to...

mine used to be low until I fitted a new thermostat, it too used to warm the heater up quickly but the guage never showed very high. I changed the stat and it now sits right in the middle once warm and stays there regardless of load or speed. It's now doing exactly what it says on the tin and it...

I think the strips under the headlights, both the grey plastic bit and the colour coded stip, need to be painted the same gunmetal grey as the grill, that should be the finishing touch I recon!? Go on Mr.photoshop, give that a try and let's see what that would look like!

You won't have one on your car, they were only fitted on later cars, I think 99 onwards but i'm sure someone will correct me on that if I'm wrong.

I had a look into the EGR on my car. I blanked the small actuator pipe to see what effect it would have. It did seem to make the car seem more responsive at very low revs (very slightly) but other than keeping the gunge out of the intake not much benefit. I have thought of making up a bypass...

I'm sure that as soon as you turn on the ignition the tank pump runs for about 10 seconds as when I changed my diesel filter, I turned on the ignition and could see the bubbles moving along the clear pipe after the filter for about the first 10seconds and then they stopped, I turned the ignition...

The in-tank pump is just a lift pump to get the diesel up to the injection pump and that is where the high pressure is generated and the pressure is controlled within the pump.

I have run mine on a biodiesel (yes I know not exactly veg oil) and it runs well until the weather gets colder and then it gets harder to start so reduce it down to 50/50 with diesel, Iwould change the fuel filter a bit more regularly to start with as mine had more sediment in the bottom of the...

My front grill also looked like yours and I used some plastic bumper paint that I got from the local accesory shop for about £8. The dark grey colour looks pretty good, in fact you can't tell that it's not a new grill, it looks like the factory colour. I do like the look of your new grill though...

I think that Land Rover must have loaded all the toys into the cars as they came to the end of the production run, as the new model was on it's way it would have been harder to sell the existing one. I have just bought a set of 2006 19" wheels for mine as I had the 16" alloys, I'm just waiting...

Contact sixonetwo at sixonetwo limited they do fitting kits for all the variations, I have some 2006 sport wheels to go on my 2001 Range Rover and they do a kit with the correct wheel nuts, spigot rings and locknuts to suit. They can advise if they will fit or if you need different nuts etc.

I too have a 2.5dt and the only differences are in trim as I too have climate control, leather, cd changer, etc. What it doesn't have are the wood trims on the door cards, no wood trim around the stereo or hevac area, no sunroof (which I didn't want as it lowers the headroom and at 6'6" I need...

I'm with you guys on the vents, they look daft the wrong way up! When I look at the headlights, they just don't quite fit, the curves into the corners are wrong and the curve of the grill is all wrong to the lines of the bonnet. It looks a bit like the car would look like if you had a front end...

even though the leak off pipes are dry they may still have cracks in them and be allowing air in, I would change them anyway as it's all of a fivers worth of tubing from your local independant LR garage. IMHO it sounds like the fuel pump may be duff but worth checking that it's getting power to...

I have just bought a set of 19" wheels from a 2006 Range Rover sport, as soon as the wheelnuts etc that I have ordered arrive, I'll get them fitted and let you know how they handle! They have got 255/50/19 tyres.

When I bought my car I got a Blackhorse warranty, which seem to come in different levels of cover, and as part of haggling on the purchase price I got the top end one. So far I have had an air suspension fault fixed and when the radiator sprung a leak from a small crack in the plastic base, they...

Presumably you are talking about the 2.5 diesel, if so, yep they re a bit gutless, did you have the car running for long on the old engine to know how it used to go? The cam might be different in the Range Rover engine to provide more torque to pull the heavier car? I would stick a Van Aaken...

I did a couple a few years back and here is a video of how it was done: YouTube - Build a Bobtail If you click to "see other clips from this user" on youtube you will see one of the car in action too. I hope you find it helpful.
