Valve block arrived, salvaged the NRVs from it, swapped my new o-rings onto them and fitted in my valve block. All ok, or so I thought - drove down road no problems. Got into the RR the following day but immediately the "SLOW 35MPH" message appeared. Turns out when the laptop is plugged in...

Thanks Wammers, I've ordered another valve block and driver assy. (always handy to have the spares!) While waiting for it to arrive (shame, all I need is the NRV's) I decided to check the white plugs at the passenger kick panel by the A pillar. Thankfully they are clean and dry. Hoping the...

Hi Mark, thanks, i'll take a look in the meantime. The o-rings I fitted are the black ones (kit from Landyair) i'll leave the NRVs for now. I did notice while I was waiting for the pressure to build in the tank the rear was rising even though the drivers door was open. Does this point to a...

Finally today got around to fitting the valve block o ring repair kit to my '96 RR Two of the non return valves (NRVs) are quite badly damaged, does anyone know where I could get a set (of 3) I don't mind if they are secondhand as long as they are in good condition. re-built the block...

Ok, it was quite some time ago I read the howto, got sidetracked and the RR has been sat for the last few months while other life stuff got in the way. Long story short, the "reconditioned" compressor I got off eBay is scrap. Fitted the original compressor which I suspected as being sluggish...

Hi tomcat, have already tried keeping door open.. compressor keeps running. Until it got very hot and I switched it off, I didnt time it but was easily 10 minutes. Have read the howto - I dont see any specific problems that are not lifting, most seem to be slow to lift, dancing, not staying up...

1996 2.5DT with about 125k on the clock, unknown if the suspension airbags have been changed. Replaced the compressor but it hasnt made any difference, sitting on the bump stops. I have Datatek's cable and have tried resetting the "max speed 30mph" error, the compressor starts and even with...

Very slim chance, but worth a thought - does your interior light come on when you open the doors? (if not, perhaps a door switch could be faulty and bulbs removed to hide the fault)

Thanks for the recommendation. What size are the jubilee clips that need replaced when removing the tank? Just like to have them to hand when I need them! Hopefully will get this sorted midweek. Cheers Pete

Decided to pull the tank and replace the pump, as it obviously needs done even if it isnt the source of the stalling issue, it is the source of the hard starting when low fuel level which probably sooner or later will burn out the starter motor. Any recommendations on a competitive supplier of...

Leak off pipes are fine, pipe from manifold to filter housing (map sensor) is fine, while I was out - I found a sensor screwed into the inlet manifold near the front. I screwed it out and it is very messy - covered in black engine oil. IAT sensor I believe. Can the MAP sensor be tested, or do I...

Thanks everyone for the answers. Since my last post it now starts and idles fine, think I had perhaps a bit of air in the system after changing the filter. The stalling on a steep incline at low revs (in forward gear only) still exists though. I don't seem to have a clear pipe - where does...

Something I overlooked adding, The loss of power on the ramp at the MOT wash was only noticeable while driving up. There was no loss of power when I had to reverse up to get the rear washed. Strange!

Recently experienced extreme lack of power and what feels like fuel starvation when trying to drive my 1996 P38 2.5DT up a ramp to get it washed for MOT Put it down to a problem i've been having for some time where if the fuel level is below about 1/3 it gets hard to start after a day or two...

Took a while to find the howto, but got there in the end, thanks Wammers! Will be spending tomorrow faultfinding, after a look at the videos on rswsolutions.com I begun to feel a bit more confident diagnosing the fault. Went out tonight (in the dark, no electric in the shed where the suspension...
