    Range Rover Sport

    Hi again, Thank you very much for all this info. I have removed the butterfly and gently cleaned the sensor. I am going to replace the long intercooler hose this week, but I was unaware that there is another one. I will try to locate this later. I am guessing it is awkward to get to. I will...

    Hi freelance, someone else told me that, so I blanked them off and removed the pipes. Couldn't believe how dirty they were. Alas, this has made no difference at all.

    Range Rover Sport

    Hi, thank you for your reply. It's an auto with 130000 miles on the clock. It has very erratic tickler, loss of power and lots of blackish smoke. It was also going into limp mode if you put your foot down. I have checked the intercooler hose and can't see any damage, although there is a kind of...

    Hi there, I have a 2006 Range Rover Sport 2.7tdv6. I think I have a problem with one of my injectors . Could anyone please tell me, other than running diagnostics, is there any way I can check. Thanks everyone . Andy.

    Range Rover Sport

    Hi there, I blanked off the egr valves on my Range Rover Sport 2.7tdv6, today (2006). I removed the pipes and the butterfly from the housing. I ran the car before fitting the blanks to the throttle housing, and to my surprise, there was a lot of pressure coming out the holes, where the egr pipes...

    Didn't think of that, to be honest. That's a lot less intrusive and possibly less expensive. Thank you.

    2.7tdv6 recon engine

    Hi , it started after it was significantly overfilled with oil, by about 2 litres, driven for a couple of miles, then abruptly stopped, with a big ploom of smoke out the exhaust. I left it until the following morning, drained the oil to the correct level, and the car started. I used it...

    2.7tdv6 recon engine

    Hi all thanks for all the input. My car is still running, just very lumpy, no power and smoking really bad. The garage I found is called Leytonstone Autos Ltd, in London. Their reviews are encouraging

    2.7tdv6 recon engine

    I think the cranks ok, the valve stem seals are definitely gone, and I think a piston ring has gone too. It still starts but runs really really rough, got no power, and smokes tremendously. It's not losing any coolant. I want to keep it long term, so just want to put a decent lump in that will...

    Sorry lancorky, it's called LR Trade Parts Uk. Don't know if that's the same firm.
