    2.5 DSE Stall issue

    My Rangie was doing exactly that a while back. It did seem to clear up, but a few things were going on at the time. The brake pump burned out and the crank pulley damper failed along with the belt tensioner. I presumed one of these cured it. However it's doing it again now. The first...

    Advice for a long journey

    This is simply incorrect. The air suspension won't work with the relay removed. It inhibits all operations, including dropping you onto the bumpstops. My RR will go up to wading height sometimes, usually a press of the down button corrects it, However sometimes it will hard fault and...

    Advice for a long journey

    My eas acts up a bit. If I am going for a long journey, when the eas sets onto motorway height, i hit the button on the dash that holds it. Then I remove the timer relay from under the passenger seat( pull over to do this:)), this freezes the suspension. It does put up some warning lights and...

    Can you point me in the right direction

    Have to agree with you there, I have owned many end of life Jaguars XJ40, X300, XK8, some good ones too. They never gave an ounce of trouble, seemed to have an undeserved bad rep. The Rangie hasn't been bad either, but the cats have been kinder to me. But it's all about the smile they put on...

    Op is probably driving around in a Landcruiser now, scared him off. Funny thing, we have a new guy in work, he was asking me about the Range Rover. Told him about my various trials and tribulations. He asked me what the L322 is like, even worse was my reply. So what will you get next he...

    Vibration noise coming from dash - help

    Is it coming from the speaker pack behind the speedo? If it distorts the turn signal beep that's it. may be something else though.

    broken Wheel nut advice needed

    I waited until the missus went out, put a too small socket in the oven at full power. Then bashed it onto the stuck wheel nut, left for a minute, dashed with water, then bashed at the extension bar with a hammer. Was amazed it worked. Just had time to get the calipers out of the kitchen parts...

    Turbo Failure

    An automatic Defender:eek: the horror. Well if it's an auto your only hope is a powder fire extinguisher, shot into the air intake, to gum up everything.

    Turbo Failure

    That Defender in the video, wouldn't be an automatic. So surely all some one had to do was jump in, put in gear brakes on. clutch out, stall the engine?

    Nearly Wrote of 2 Cars...

    When my brake pump failed, and all pressure was gone from the system, I still had brakes, albeit you had to really shove on the pedal, and the stopping power was very low. so there is a master cylinder part that just works from foot pressure. Luckily my system fully depressurised whilst...

    feeling bad about your P38?

    Yes the OCD clean Rangie owner in my is horrified. I didn't think there would be any air suspension cars in that video. But Amazingly the white Rock crawler one "JCs Rover" towards the end is on air bags. Just love the crackle of those V8s.
