Thanks Chaser but whats the needle lift sensor? :confused:

If you want my advice. DONT DO IT! RUN AWAY!!! :)

Richard, Any progress? I am right in saying that yours is ok when you press the brake pedal switch? Mine is the other way around... Mine is fine UNTIL you press the switch... Luke

The engine idles fine until you press the brake pedal. If I dip the clutch to change gear but dont let it up the engine goes back to idle perfectly. If I brake for a corner then dip the clutch to engage another gear it idles high and starts pratting about. I hope that makes sense?

Hi Darmain, It may seem you are not a muppet... The hippo has been a little **** today! On starting this morning it spluttered, coughed and farted then ran like a bag of spanners.. On the way home however it was fine. Such a pain in the arse!:mad:

Richard, I seem to have accidently cured my hippo... The other day I went out to go to work and she started to Kangaroo down the street. I looked everywhere and eventually found the fuel solenoid wire was broken. It didnt look broken but with a little tug it came off in my hand. I repaired this...

Hi Ste, sorry for the late reply. I do not have a pic but can take one if you want?

Hi Darmain, Yes my lump is the L series not the TD4.

Sorry Darmain but whats a MAP?

Hi Richard/Darmain. Yes mine does the same with the brake pedal.... I will check my pipes to see if there are any splits. Just to add I had a problem yesterday with the car acting like a kangaroo! I found the live wire to the fuel solenoid (I think thats how its spelt..) was cracked and broken...

Thanks Darmain. Found the little begger in the end! It was the live wire to the fuel solenoid. Its seems to of cured my problem of revving up and down aswell weirdly....

Hi All, This morning I went out to the hippo to go to work and she started fine. I was travelling when all of a sudden it started to kangaroo and drop off as if it was going to stall. I turned around and on my way home it cut out and will not re start.... I went under the bonnet and checked...

Thanks for all of the responses guy's. Mine is still playing up but what I cant get is why it was fine for 2 weeks then started again? I am no closer! It's going back to LR next week so we will see what happens...

Hi, I have a 1987 LR 90 and its a pain to start. It kicks out loads of smoke and once started tends to miss like crazy for a few mins then in fine and runs no problem. Plugs have been changed and power checked. All is fine. The only thing I have not changed is the fuel filters. Any help...

Hello All, I have been having a few problems with the fob for my hippo.. I changed the battery and did the press the button 5 times thingy and it started to behave but it still plays up now again. If anyone can give advice that would be great. Thanks Luke Correction! Is it playing up again...
