Quite, my other half has this thing about "tidying up" and not knowing where she's put my stuff, most annoying. I doubt it's brakes binding, the rears have only been on the car a couple of weeks, the fronts were serviced and freed off at the same...

Stating the obvious, handbooks are best kept in the car, no use in the cupboard. Have you checked for binding brakes? With any Range Rover, best to never leave home without diagnostics to hand IMO, you would then know what the problem is/was...

Market demands are created by marketing departments to suck in the gullible.

I would be surprised if the injectors need replacing. If the FIP has been refurbished, is the modulation correct? Glow plugs, Beru, NGK or Delphi. Leak off pipes use Gates reinforced pipe. The leak off's self bleed.

Thanks chaps! Indeed yet to look at the 'leak' this weekend.. can I just simply cut my new pipe and change all individually and will the engine bleed them naturally.. the leak off pipes that is (spill pipes??) ? Also, I had used injector cleaner...

Are you sure its the injector leaking and not the leak off rubber pipes also the no 4 injector is expensive mght be an idea to add some injector cleaner to the fuel.

That I couldn't tell you from memory tbh, it was about 4yr ago. I can ask Elliott if he remembers 👍

Thanks I will delve a bit deeper and see what I can find my vehicle is a 2001 and has the rectangular condenser at the moment.

My son used an earlier version of the condenser in his 2001 38' but we do have a 1996 38' and were able to use the aircon pipes to get it to work like an earlier model.

Any fuel leak is an air leak meaning fuel dropping back to the tank... Long start/crank. 👍

+1 to glow plugs But get good ones beru are good and oem

Difficult to start from cold is usually glow plugs

You may have to have it go down then repatriation route🫣

Comment probably applies to any modern car, all disposable just that some cost more than others. LR lost the plot decades ago, but to be fair they have to design/build what the market demands in order to stay in business. Q. if JLR built a...

It does, I adjusted mine to suit 👍

Possibly someone has adjusted the idle using a Nanocom? 850 rpm doesn't sound too bad.

Power steering pump not the water pump is what I was referring to.

Yes, it was very much a quality job. More power and better economy seemed too good to be true but it did what they said it would... although they were always cagey about quite how much the power & torque were increased by, never could get any...

Fitted a stereo with DAB and Bluetooth (complete with external microphone). Works very well. Can change the colour to match the dash too. Sony MEX-N7300BD, if anyone is interested.

muppet.

Not all of them👍

Aren’t RR engines disposable items?

A sad reflection of the brand, but probably true of any RR made after the Classic era. Any vehicle can suffer an unexpected breakdown & for that eventuality I have breakdown/recovery cover, but the thought of starting a journey lacking...

Mine was done by those guys in 2004. Still goes like a good'n😎👍

Thread resurrection... to say I've replaced my ITG Profilter WB-430 filter on a 2.5D after 100,000 miles / 18 years. Originally fitted as part of a JE Engineering 'stage 2' chip & intercooler kit, it's had regular cleaning and re-oiling in that...

Wammers post in tech archive is the one for fuel pump measurement and states relay 12. IF thats of any help

Thank you

Try using a BMW without indicating… them steering wheels have a mind iof there own.fun trying to ignore the movements Scania Lorry If some on comes down the slip road and pulls infront of you too close,dash board lights up with collision...

In management speak, the number of accidents due to human error, distracted drivers etc has decreased
