    New Head Gasket

    I've had 3 Classic range rovers, a discovery TD5, 110 TD5 CSW, Stage 1 V8 and this P38. Financial circumstances mean I use this as my only transport, so cannot afford to look at this through rose coloured specs. I think I will just have to sell spares or repair, as even if I repair and...

    New Head Gasket

    The garage is about 35 miles from where I live, which would mean hiring someone to trailer it home. I have just moved house so the garage is full to brimming with items from the old house, so would mean working outside. I would much rather someone else who knows what they are doing handled it.

    New Head Gasket

    O2 sensors - help please

    I am just going off what the garage has said. What could the possible issued be for both to go at the same time? I have not had the car very long, so maybe one had gone already and the second one shortly after. I would assume that they are the original parts.

    O2 sensors - help please

    I have a 4.0 which has had starting issues and idle problems for the last week or so. This morning it was booked into an independent Land Rover garage to check out the problem. They have diagniosed that both O2 sensors are not working, giving a permanent reading of 5 volts. The earliest I...

    4.0 LPG hot starting issue

    I have a 4.0 fitted with LPG and from cold it starts okay and switches to LPG after about 5 minutes without any issues. The problem I am having is when starting again when the engine is hot. If I start in petrol I am getting a very poor tickover and on occasions it has stalled. If the...

    Which Pirelli Scorpions?

    Thanks for the replies, I am erring towards buying some second hand 16" wheels for the winter and saving up for some new quality boots for the summer.
