What did you do with your Range Rover today

RangeRoller dt said:

Thanks but it's the look of the photo. It's just oil, when it rolled over the dipstick fell out and the oil went everywhere in the engine bay. Still cleaning it out everywhere I touch. I will wipe it down tomorrow for you

Leave the oil there to protect it

I believe that the wire connects to the bonnet. There is one on mine 2.5 dse

The bonnet was swapped over by a friend along with the wing after the roll. They came off a later model perhaps it is surplus

Yours cooling okay now @tarphenry ?

No, I still have problems. I will fit a new temp sensor tomorrow,weather permitting,If i have no joy ,I will remove the rad and fit a new thermostat and water pump.I appear to have a slight water leak,approx 1 litre per week ,but cannot see any signs.But I cannot get a view the pump or the stat until I remove the Radiator.wards and upwards eh But on

There is also a water pipe at the back on the head, near the bulkhead, worth checking

Yes I know, I replaced the rubber U pipe and checked the pipe, Its not that.

@RangeRoller dt I think that might be one of the feed wires for the heated front screen. They can come un-bonded from the screen after a few years.

I can confirm that it;s the earth strap to the bonnet on my MY95, but it is not there on the later vehicles.

Picture from a 96 4.6.

Didn’t look at the 2000 as I am sure it has a big flat braided wire on opposite side, but then because it’s an OF sometimes I can’t ref as standard.

Mines a 99 and it has the cable

Yours was built when they got back from the lunchtime drink.

Or Friday when they wanted to get off early
Finished putting the replacement alternator in and put the manifold etc back. Found the source of the oil on the exhaust side of the engine/chassis. Somehow at sometime in the past before I got the car, the end of a cable tie had been trapped between the turbo outlet hose and the turbo body leaving an escape route for the oil the turbo chucks out. Took it out for a test drive and the EAS seems to be behaving now the corroded connectors have been eradicated. Time will tell. Also tweaked some of the EDC settings brought the idle speed down to within the specified range and changed one other setting with no apparent effect.

Nothing.... Just stared at it disappointedly...

Mine is 95 has cable, bonnet from later model god knows what has two holes factory painted but no threaded bit. It will be having a self tapping screw just incase.

Shel be okay with new rad. Unless it's compression from the liners

It's the ones that get warm and wet all over you are the ones worth losing sleep over

Doubt it will have slipped a liner, it's a diesel they don't have liners.

Check the arm isn't cracked. Seems to be a common failure point.

WTF so how can you repair that? or is it a new one? I just did mine last week
