Thanks for the reply fett - what did yours turn out to be? Because your problem sounds the same as mine (i.e the clutch pedal does nothing until its right at the bottom, which isnt enough to disengage the clutch). My fluid doesnt look to bad to be honest with you, but if i do replace the...

Right, I got a strange problem with my Range Rover Classic and I don’t know where to start. It’s a 3.5 EFI manual and I use the car purely for off roading. Basically, the other week, I was off roading and suddenly the clutch pedal became very light and I couldn’t engage gears. If I turned...

Alternator Mount

Hi, I need a bracket to fit a second alternator to my Range Rover Classic 3.5 EFI V8. The air conditioning compressor has already been removed and I have a 65amp alternator ready to fit and wire to a second battery. I have found a fitting bracket here&#8230...

Also, can you get high performance clutch fluid? Would that help stop it boiling?

Thats a possibility! How do you bleed it?

Yeah, i thought about an electric fan - do they replace the existing mechanical one? guess they do. I jetwashed the radiator out when i got home to get the mud out - think i will make a point of doing that every time to keep on top of it. Is there anything i can do with coolant - buy special...

Yeah the engine was VERY hot - the expansion tank was whistling and boiling water coming out the over flow pipe. I was winching at the time so had it in low range and had it so the wheels were turning slowly. I have taken the thermostat out and the coolant is mixed correctly. Is there...

Hi, Went off roading on a Pay and Play day today and whilst i was there i sometimes had problems getting any gears (could not push the gear stick into any positions). With the engine off, i could get all gears. I put it down to a hot clutch because, if i left it for 5-10 mins i could...

Excellent! cheers!!! £240 is pretty expensive though!

Lol, whats the spec on what? do you mean the car in general?

OK cheers, thought it might be the case! Regularly cleaning it out is the only solution by the sounds of it then!

Ah, are you inferring i shouldn't be using my 4x4 for off roading? :confused: I forgot, they are exclusively for mums to pick their kids up from school arent they! Stupid me! Mud... water.... what was i thinking! :doh: :D

Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can stop mud getting into my handbrake drum? I have been told this is why my handbrake is not working. I do alot of pretty heavy off roading and when i first bought the car the handbrake just about worked, but now it doesn't work at all. I am...

Sounds like a seized thermostat, just remove it completely, you dont really need it.
