Walk away. There are plenty out there, its not cheap enough with the problems it has.

Just a thought: Are the batteries (Cr2025 3v) flat in the remote control? Quick way to check is look for the red led lighting when you press the lock/unlock it also should flash as you put in into and turn the ignition. If they are flat then the remote can't 'talk' to the immobilser. This could...

Was it starting/running Ok before it was layed up? As far as I know (and I can't claim to be an expert so I will wait to be corrected) the immobiliser will remain in the same state as it was when it was last running so nothing should have altered. Are you getting any messages on the dash...

It doesnt matter which side you jack up, its easier if you are on your own to do the side you can see. You only need to lift one wheel off the ground for the test if it doesn't move the vicous diff is shot. It doesn't matter if its in high or low range but i'd always do it low box as its more...

The RR classic is a very capable vehicle and on those tyres should be pretty unstoppable! I have done a lot of off road use in the same motor and can vouch for its capability. As others have said you have a centre vicous diif lock which is fully automatic and is free until it senses loss of...

Interested in that. Why are the wheels and hubs wrong? I thought they looked right for the year?

Hi Don't give up on it yet! Dont forget you are running an old, complex car, there are very few, if any, cars of 97/98 vintage that will be running trouble free! especially ones with so many accessories. I had very similar symptoms, turned out to be the common problem with fuse box...

Sounds like problem lies with your fuse box. People must think I have shares in them as I keep recommending it as a fix but it did cure my starting on my DT which was similar to yours ie cranking over but not firing. I did get the glow plug light coming on though so its slightly differant. Mine...

You dont say what the problem is? If its just the rubber buttons that are worn out this is a simple diy repair with one of the kits already detailed. Just a sharp blade needed to pop the old rubber out. If its batteries have gone flat again simple replacement and resyncronise as per your...

Are you getting message engine immobilised and not turning over? If so definatly immobilised! Or are you getting all ignition lights and turning over but not firing? If its the latter its worth checking to see if youre getting fuel through, just unclip the pipe off the fuel filter and switch...

Worth a try anyway. I hope you will find its something simple like a bad connection. I would double check you are getting supply through the relays with 12v tester. Sounds like your fuse box has got hot from the description of your fuses. Box is about £150 and is a straightforward swap if you...

Hi lift the lid of the underbonnet fuse box, its a black flat topped box on the offside wheelarch behind the battery. The lid has a diagram with the layout of fuses and relays. You are looking for the one with and engine symbol and elictrical arrow through it. AS you stand fcaing the fuse box...

Hi I have posted this on another thread but some of your symptoms sound similar so it may be of use: Hi I have had a similar no fuel problem i.e. all lights on turns over but no fuel. Took me a while but I think I have traced it to a bad connection on the ECU relay in the fuse box. As soon...

Hi I have had a similar no fuel problem i.e. all lights on turns over but no fuel. Took me a while but I think I have traced it to a bad connection on the ECU relay in the fuse box. As soon as a wriggled it about the fuel started flowing. I cleaned the connections which gave a repair and it...
