I am a Pepsi Max man...

BTW, just for a laugh, I googled the amount of energy required. Surely burning that amy energy in petrol is gonna put the same strain or wear on the engine regardless of rpm. . . . . .but I'm not the right scientist :cool:

Engines need revs to blow the coke out of the system.

Remember the future is not written yet . . . . it's what you make it !!

It would mate, you could crack the smaller clip and allow it to breath into shape and then reclip it. 👍

It's not had the clips tightened at the right moment or position and is under vacuum. 👍

Understood, most on here are happy to maintain what they have. Although there are a few that dabble in mods to suit there needs. You may be the first to change out diffs in an l322. Most of the time it's the series vehicles that change them. 😊

Before I bought my OBD reader I looked into this but I do not have a Windows laptop. I saw some cables with laptop on eBay but they were all for the later model cars, not for my 2002 L322. I bought the V2 iCarSoft because the company said that...

You may be the first to find out kiddo. 🫵😎

I think this image is it, for the BMW equivalent M62, showing a straight line due to vanos? I normally do not get over 1,500 RPM in my daily driving, so I am barely using the power of the car, but I feel no need to do that. Given that the...

Some clubs will be more responsible than others then. GLASS is the best bet for green laning or pay and play sites for off roading.

You say that but we have had a few people come out with us before saying that the local club didn't follow the rules.

Greenlane association or local off road clubs for green lanes.. If you want off road fun, go for a pay and play site here you can get stuck and winch away to your hearts’ content.

"Ideally looking for legal routes" What other sort of routes would you be looking for, illegal ones?

Had a Puma since new in 2013 and also have a Series 1 88". Always interested in sources of useful information to keep them running.

👍 I'm not sure where the emojis are if your on the pc. 🤷

Usually later in the revs range. Most petrol on turbos are at there best around 3k through to 5k revs. Motor depending also and if there are camshaft timing devices that shift torque points😵🫣 How bloody complicated does it need to be😂

As long as the engine is in it's natural torque curve or it'll labor from the lower revs possibly 🤔

Thanks. EDIT: I found out how to put myself on the map to be available to help others.

My l add to my little bottomless money pit? Booked in with my local indie garage for new brake pads and front suspension arms etc, the usual clapped=out at over 140,000 miles syndrome. It also needs 2 rear caliper replacing, in is so badly siezed...

You have to replace the shaft and not just the boot? If that is the case, it's madness or some would say progress.

Didn't know that LPG was still obtainable, can't remember the last time I passed a garage that sold it. OK in cylinders & better suited to rural gas boilers & fork-lifts ;) Thought I'd save money by having my 3.9 RRC converted to gas back in...

If your concerned about the diff outer casings, as long as there is no oil seepage they're good to go. Have seen the cars and the rust in the UK that drive in Salt treated roads😵

Pulling a higher gear may actually impose more stress on the engine. a wider throttle opening needed to maintain speed, thus higher compression pressures. A lighter load and higher revs does no harm. The 2.76 diffs you say went with the 8 speed...

It's normally because the boots is out of its natural position. Flat🫵👍

Thank you for this important information.

I go everywhere in mine lad. 6hrs to the off-road event every year, to blighty and even taken the old girl as far as italy and back👌😎 No range rover fear here girls🫵😜

Clearly you are the first person in history to use a Range Rover for a long journey. You should share your idea so that other people can now use such vehicles without worry too.....

When you say "it drops to entry height", do you mean it stays up overnight, and then drops to Access or Standard when you start the car ? If so it's not a valve block issue.
