I finally received the invoice from the garage. The diagnostic suggested the fuel quantity actuator. So confirms a new pump is needed.

Not changed it since I owned it. The previous owner said he serviced it but he also told me a crock of **** as it turned out. I'm going to change it anyway.

It does point to fuelling as by disengaging then re-engaging the clutch I'm effectively jump starting it. I noticed today there is a fuel pipe coming off the filter that is see-through. Never noticed it before as it was dirty. Sounds like someone may have done this for a diagnostic to see if...

The pipe seemed tight to me and there is no oil around the rim of the filter housing. Its not the diff guaranteed. When I replaced it I used half a tube of tiger seal and tightened it down with an impact gun. Then checked it by hand. I didn't put any oil in it ether seen as the half shaft seals...

I have quite a substantial oil leak but I really can't find it as the whole nearside of the engine is caked in oil. Even some on the Manifold. Not sure how, only thing I can think of is the prop shaft flange is spraying it around everywhere. When the engine is not running its dripping...

Its been a while but I have had the Rangie at a local Land-rover specialist for some work. Its the solenoid in the fuel pump.

I had this issue with my 2.5 P38 since I owned it however it has become more frequent. Even searches on BMW forums have not given me any answers. The throttle seems to cut off when cruising along, only seems to happen below 3000 rpm. It become completely unresponsive. If I put the clutch in...

Thanks wammers thats what I wanted to know. I was not ignoring the VCU, more concentrating on the job in hand. The diff was not connected to the transfer box so obviously there was another problem; which turned out to be the pinion bearing. (thanks again to wammers for suggesting I check it)...

How stiff should the front output shaft be to turn? I found the issue, stripped the axle down and pulled the shafts free. Still couldn't turn the flange. Pinion bearing. Removing the diff confirmed this.

I would hazard a guess and say the piston rings are ####ed and some veg has vorced its way into the crankcase.

Plan of action for tomorrow. Try turn the diff flange with a bar and socket. If it doesn't turn pull both hub assemblies off and pull shafts out. Try turn again. I believe it will but if it doesn't the diff is ####ed or something in the case. If it turns slot one shaft in. If it turns slot...

Back again with the same issue! Another painfully long recovery from the RAC. Its not the VC though; wish it was. But I have no idea. The front prop is off. Yes the back wheels have drive and spin free. The front wheels however are jammed up again. If I try to drive it can move forward slightly...

I don't have the handbook so I guess I will call Landrover for that. I will get a new battery but I didn't think that was the problem as when I press the buttons the light flashes. Its not worked since I have had it. I live near Bradford and its a 2.5 derv. I need to go to work but I...

No snorkel, no got around to it. The standard intake is superb anyway to be fair but a split pipe low in the engine bay led to the demise.

Rothwell Offroad Centre in a Shogun - YouTube Onboard footage from my trip to Rothwell. Its not a big outfit but worth going for a measly £20. This is where my Shogun met its fate. Split pipe allowed very muddy water to be sucked into the engine. Blowing the turbo to bits and bending 3 rods...

I can't get the damn thing started now. Advice would be appreciated. This car is rapidly upsetting me. Going back a couple of days ago I had two incidents where the key was only operating the drivers door and not the rest of the doors. (the fob doesn't work, shock horror) I got in and upon...

I didn't think of it at the time. I was rushing to get it back together. It wasn't a complete waste of effort changing the diff because at least I found out it didn't have any oil in it on the count of the half shaft seals being shagged. It should only be a small job changing them now seen as...

Ah I get it. I suppose if I find the VCU has had it. I can remove a prop for now until I source one. Come to think if it; it might be the reason why it didn't have a front prop when I bought it.

That did cross my mind. How could I rectify the problem and know for sure if its still locked up or not?

The maximum safe angle in the handbook of my shogun said 45. I had it at about 50 and was falling out of the window. I think that was enough!
