I've come to the end of the road with the RR, the latest garage suspects a possible injector fault which would explain the rough idle and smoke etc. Is there a section on here I can advertise it for sale as spares or repairs? Its too good to break and the right person may very well know how to...

The fuel filter was the first thing to be replaced by the garage, it cost enough so should hope its a good one!

Thanks for that info wish i had your knowledge on RR. Tried what you suggested turning wheel lock to lock and guess what , lights disappeared from dash and i was able to get all three height levels.Took it for a spin and its still flat as a fart.When it was at auto electricians he told me there...

The ECU has come back, no faults at all detected. The technician said he looked through the stored data and he seems to think that there is an ABS fault or a fault on the brake system which is causing the engine to go into limp mode. We connected the ECU back up and sure enough there are three...

Thanks for your replies.One thing I cant understand is why there hasnt been any dash lights coming on.

Update.. So the Range Rover had the new Airflow sensor fitted and this made a vast improvement for a few minutes before returning to limp mode. The old sensor wasn't working so this wasn't helping things, however, the technician now thinks the ECU is somehow affecting the airflow sensor. Long...

The Range Rover is having a new air flow sensor fitted today, apparently the readings don't change from idle to when it is being driven which could be causing all sorts of issues, including the lack of power. Fingers crossed it will be sorted by the end of the day! As for the EGR blanking off...

been on the phone with the main agents again this morning and the technician said he doesn't recommend replacing the ignition switch as the car starts fine (they have replaced a few recently where the cars won't even start). I'm trying to get an auto electrician to look at it today to check out...

We used the spare key yesterday but the same thing has happened before with the old key..

And also noticed that the electric seats and wheel adjustment are altered when I come to get in the car, which leads me to suspect the entire problem is electronically related somehow

Yes we've changed the crankcase breather and turbo vent filter as well as the turbo and turbo intake hose. We've also changed the oil and filter and the air filter and also removed and cleaned the egr valve as it was completely filthy. Have ordered a blanking off kit to replace this. Have added...

Thanks for this!

In a effort to save money we’ve decided to replace the turbo ourselves. We’ve removed it without too many problems, however there are two vacuum pipes we disconnected and can’t remember which one went to the turbo and where the other one went! Pictures of what I mean are below.. One of these...

Ok so quick update. The car is back with Land Rover and luckily it was playing up when they took it for a test drive, being down on power and cutting out several times. They think they have narrowed the problems down to a possible fault on the ignition switch (which is causing the engine to...

Its been back to Land Rover who said the ECU was giving them unrecognisable fault codes which they couldn't figure out. Its going back to Land Rover on Wednesday which should hopefully be a more successful visit than last time. As for the engine I'm not too sure if its an M57? Its a BMW unit but...
