Well chaps, I have changed my thermostat and done quite well for time. The job took about 4.5 hours but did bust my chops with the under tray. Screws had to be drilled out out. Them bolts put up a very good fight but I won. Everything was seized. Just waiting for my stainless screws and...

After some very long head scratching and periods of dispare, I have finally found out what was wrong with the car causing it to cough and splutter, backfire and would not rev up above 2000rpm when pushed. Fuel pressure regulator was faulty, I measured 30PSI on tick over and reduces to 26-28...

Hi, When cold the motor runs straight up to 5500rpm easy but only for a couple of times then starts to cough and splutter at 4000rpm. When hot only 2000/2250rpm can be reached will not progress further than that. When accelerator is floored going up an incline it just dies down with no power...

Oh dear, now its lottery time. Pressure regulator or Fuel pump? Is that pressure for the Gems engine?

Hi Peeps, Does any one know what the fuel pressure should be in the fuel rail on a 1998 4.0L V8 enigine is. Could you let me know, I measure 30PSI on tick over and reduces to 26-28 PSI when revved up. Thank you Mel

1998 - 4.0L Gems engine. All new parts except HT leads. 2nd hand MAF in, still coughs and splutters. Replaced Engine coolant temp sensor. no difference. I can get it to rev all the way when cool on the road, as soon as it gets warm it plays up again, specially when going up long hills...

I am trying to get my Range Rover 4.0l SE to run with out coughing and spluttering. Can't get MOT because it wont fast idle propally for emissions. When cold, she will rev up quite nicely for a few minutes when warm she will muck about from 2250rpm and then at 4000rpm and wont run past...

I didn't have the steering wheel controls on my Range, it's a SE model. When its time to get the next car, I will make sure its got the lot. The remote control is similar to a TV remote but smaller. Press phone ICON and dial number and away you go. No feedback either, very clear sound...

Quick and simple one for price. Don't laugh I got one from Aldi for £39.99. CD player, blue tooth, SD card slot, single head phone jack plug and front USB slot. what more do you want? For £39.99 its a bargain, came with remote control so you can have it as hands free phone connection...

All sorted, linkage jumped out of position and didn't open throttle flap.

Can any one help? Just put my P38 4.0l back together after Head gasket change, done all the water and oils as well as service and the car started on the first key twist. Problem is when I press the Accelerator the car does not rev up, just stays on tick over. The pedal moves freely and the...

Approx 13-14mpg. I've only had it since December and still mucking about in it. Two 10 mile journeys to work and back. choice of Volvo V50 or Range Rover, **** it! Range Rover every time. What a sound. 4.0l auto

Shell garage Milton Keynes on the V6 towards the centre. 77.9p/l What an outrage, last week it was 69.9p/l Going to have to look around for best price. Can it be purchased in bulk like house gas for heating and cooking? just need a pump.

Thanks everyone for pointing me to older posts. Also letting me know what these are like. For the mileage I do, I don't want to pay high prices for Pirelli Scorpions ST's which are on the car now. As long as it grips on the road in the wet and don't let me down on the mud or grass I will be...

Don't panic. Not easily offended. Give as easy as take it. Still going through the old posts.
