All land rover owners are poor men, or a lot poorer than they would be if they did not have the land rover, for best results when asking a question if you put year and engine type then you will get more help quicker :)

A lot depends on you, if you have the money and if it all goes bang losing it is not going to f##k up you life too much then enjoy, if you have to borrow the money to buy it and all goes wrong then you have to borrow more to fix it or replace it then this will make it harder to drive around in...

May be someone will come up with a cheap kit to change it to electric :eek:

Have you got a spare key? silicon spray is normally better for locks than oil, have you tried rocking s/wheel as you try and turn key, A very light tap on the end of the key with hammer might help free it, good luck

Hard to find I looked for it to send a link before but could not find it, then it came up as a suggesting on you tube today for me

This is the you tube clip about 2.7l not starting, not saying that this is the problem but might be interesting

It is easy to go off at all sorts of angles you must remember that it was going along the road and died this is not going to be a tired battery, (this maybe another problem) when I was working on my van I disconnected a injector (with everything off) and used a volt meter on 250v ac to see if...

these people had a problem with the crank shaft sensor after a rebuild on another video but can not find it, it was the disk on the flywheel, think if there is a problem with crank or cam shaft sensor it will not allow fuel to be injected, should be easy to find if you put it on scan tool and it...

Not a expert, but there are many on here who are, but think engine is same and all the bits need to be changed over but someone else will know a lot more, I am sure

Engine from s type Jag is cheapest option whole car can be got for 1 to 2k but still have a engine that could break the same some time down the road

That would make the car companies a lot more focus on car weight It would be great if you had a car with 400 mile range but from 4 batteries and you could run it with 1 2 3 or 4 batteries dependent on how far you are going and the other batteries could be at home acting as a sink for your solar...

What would it take to fit the 2.7L engine? you can get a S type Jag for 2k with good engine and with the oil pump sorted seem to be a better option, but bet getting everything to talk to each other and work would be a pig

It would be interesting to see how many that have been repaired fail again, the other thing is if they fail again was it down to the block or something that had been damaged the first time and not picked up on, I find it hard to believe if the new crank goes in and all turns as it should and all...

Well just to update, installed new map sensor, when I went to install a wire to it had broken, installed new one and fixed wire and map sensor worked okay, car had more power at low revs and was better to drive but still did not start that easy, got my new thinkcar diagnostic tool, which does...

Something for the weekend?
