Hi dogsbody, Thank you for that, I have had a look, but as you say mine is a bit more stone age than that one. At the moment I am looking at the Coolant Temperature Switch and the Thermotime Switch, I have found that the wire snap clip is missing from the second switch so it is not a perfect...

Hi. No its a fair question, I don't think it is fuel as I can rev it and it responds. If I let it go back to tick over it dies. Putting any pressure on the engine, steering or engaging gear causes it to stall/stop.

Hi all, is there a kind soul in the house who has come across a 1988 3.5 RR SE automatic.That starts great and runs evenly while it is getting warm. As soon as it does the tickover becomes erratic and the engine tries to stall. If I keep the revs on it will run for a short while and then dies...

Hi Wammers, Sorry I did not get back sooner. Gave the motor a run around the local roads and could not detect any adverse pressure in the cooloing system. The water is going somewhere as the level was below where I had topped up to. I am going to have to put things down for the weekend due to...

Hi, Wammers and 1992 lse, Thankyou for your replies, I had not even considered water ingress, but now you mention it the water level was a bit low, the spark plug was very clean, no evidence of any colour of carbon build up. I have heard of V8 blocks going porous but never considered it. Yes it...

Hi All, Is there a 3.5 specialist in the house. I have an 88 petrol Range Rover that has suddenly developed a vibration at low revs. It starts OK and once over about 1000 revs seems to run perfectly. If the engine is cold then the it feels as if there is nothing wrong. As the motor warms up in...

I have just dealt with the same problem. You can leave the dim dip unconnected or repair. Not being clever with a soldering iron I have purchased a replacement from ClassicLSE in Kent at £17.50 delivered. I am sure there are other RR breakers about who will supply. They will need to know the...

A set of 4 x 31/10.5 x 16 Colway A T's have just set me back £144 plus £16 next day delivery. There are other deals on going but would advise talking to...

Is there a Classic owner or ex owner who has fitted a one piece alloy tailgate to a classic. If so what gas struts did you use to hold the .......thing up. Help please. Regards Ian:confused: but would like to be:) .
