Which switch should I be looking for...?

Cheers for replies It is indeed a Classic, the switch is on the main cluster of buttons to the right of the stereo This goes on and off OK I am going to look into it a little later and tell you my findings :)

Hiya all Went for a drive the other night and I have noticed the cruise control is now not working all of a sudden? The master switch is on but when pressing the buttons on the steering wheel nothing happens at all... Could this be as simple as a fuse or relay seeing as it was working...

OK, so basically leave as it is? lol I checked the transmission fluid and it was pretty clear so not sure when it was changed and the level seemed OK too I can live with it, it is a little annoying, however the sound of the engine stuck in that gear for odd minute of 2 sounds like a 747...

New Exhaust Manifold was fitted on Saturday... So little access to use the torque wrench on the bolts but managed to get there in the end! The engine sounds MUCH better (not like a tank) and can appreciate the V8 now, also MPG seems to be a little better too The motor on the rear wiper has...

I will try the oil and see what happens there The engine has been noisy anyway due to the crack in the exhaust manifold so hopefully will get a better look into soon :)

This is the one I was looking at... Camshaft Kit 2 - Standard at www.rimmerbros.co.uk It isnt listed as aftermarket or genuine landrover so would that make it OEM?

Will do, I will tell you my finding soon! The oil isnt looking the healthiest so another bit of work on my list is to get a camshaft kit and do a bit of a rebuild inside as well as some fresh oil!

Lol, aware of that! But 10 MPG is pretty bad even for this car, I am 99% sure this will improve with the new gaskets and manifold as the o2 sensor will surely get better readings as use less fuel

It was very scary trying to get them off, I used some Plus-Gas and I am assuming this helped or maybe just purely my wicked technique lol One bolt I though I had rounded the head off but I managed to get a grip on it with the socket and using sheer brute strength it squeaked and grinded before...

Hiya all I have a 3.9 classic auto Hoping someone can shed some light on this that I have... SOMETIMES when the engine is cold and I start up, it seems like the gears are only in 1st and 2nd and the revs go to over 3-4k and does not pick up alot of speed, the engine sounds like a fighter...

Cheers for that, I will be looking at it very soon I think I remember seeing a button inside the upper tailgate so I assume that senses the tailgate is open then? Last night I managed to get the exhaust manifold off after lots of hard work, seized nuts and bolts and very limited access! As...

For what I paid I couldnt believe how many goodies are included! I had to buy a new lower tailgate and couldnt find one in Ardennes Green, I found one with no rust at all in an older green, it doesnt look too bad bad I am going to have in re sprayed in the correct colour code :)

Hiya Fett Its a 1992 J reg Vogue SE in Ardennes Green :D To be fair the steering is spot on apart from the noise, its just annoying, I may jack the front up over the weekend and have a look whats happening there The headlining is coming away at the rear (getting a replacement soon) so...

1st month of ownership of my RRC 3.9 and 1st part of major work I need to do, and quite looking forward to it! I have noticed a crack in the exhaust manifold on the O/S, have found a replacement part on ebay for £15 and also a new set of gaskets, studs and bolts etc too Going to attempt in...
