So when they added the temp sender own ground wire is it visable when they did the mod I suppose mine could have been built in 96 and registered 97 il use all this info on the weekend and see how I get on

Thats what I was thinking dogsbody

I believe it is a manual diesel that weldman has has a look at my topic getting warm

Unless the temp gauge circuit uses a seperate earth then a earth fault could be possible but knowing landrover it will most likely share the same earth point so a problem with the shared earth point would show a fault with another component

She is a 97my

If I park the old girl up once warm and go back in 15 to 20 mins the viscous fan roars when you start her up and drive off im assuming this is normal and the fan is working correctly. If this is correct then maybe a header cap and new sensor could solve my problem Its so intermittent it unreal...

I shall do the newspaper test this weekend and will report the finding. Many thanks guys

Hi saint v8 I flushed the rad whilst I had it out of the car filled it via top hoses gave it a whirl and tipped it upside down but I understand what your saying about the top hose system and I should have checked the baffle when it was out but totally forgot about it. Have checked rad all over...

Evening gents and ladies Having a problem with my diesel range rover, few months ago in the very warm uk weather whilst travelling up a steep hill in slow moving traffic 10 to 15mph the temp guage jumped to around 80% of the temp guage just as I hit the top of the hill on the flat and...

I believe it is a holder/clip for the air vents I had one fall out from that area when I had my dash out I proceeded and threw it in the spares bin!!!!!!!

Maybe I should have been clearer on what I meant, lay by the side of it and listen not get under it. My bad

I do the brim to brim check each month and my guage is only 0.4mpg out

I get 15mpg round town in winter and 25mpg on a run in summer I get 19mpg to 21mpg around town and 27mpg to 30mpg on a good run at 60mph mine is standard and pre egr

Best get some one in the vehicle you lay underneath and then get them to open the door to find where the leak is coming from.

The tdv8 is fairly good the gearboxes are zf ones I believe, turbos and alternators do go if both turbos go expect it to write the car off priced one up last week at work for 8.5k

Ive drove with 16's and 19's I prefer the 19's they look better than a 16 but the 16's gave the car a magic carpet feeling compared to the 19's which still give that feeling to a degree but not as pronounced.......
