    Jerky 3.9 V8 with little power

    I like the sound of that - I was hoping for a simple solution and that may be it. Will do some tests. Thanks very much, Datatek

    Jerky 3.9 V8 with little power

    Hi - Got a problem with my Range Rover. It runs fine when out of gear but jerks quite heavily when in motion. It also seems to be lacking in power and there is an unpleasant clacking sound that happens when under power and going uphill. This sound seems to be coming from the left-hand side...

    I drove to work this morning, no problems at all. Came to start her at 7 pm and she wouldn't start. There must be some compression, as every now and then she fires, but not enough to get her going. Everything seems to be connected lead-wise. I kept trying until I'd flooded her. She's a 3.9 EFi...

    New bloke needs help

    Had a look this morning - it was the white lead that comes from the module at the rear of the alternator. It had pulled off at the connector! Thanks again, guys.

    New bloke needs help

    Hello everyone, I'm new here, and new to Range Rovers as well. I've had mine for a couple of weeks and I'm becoming quite attached to the old girl. As I was coming home last night the rev counter stopped working. It was fine one minute and dead the next. My questions are: is this a common...
