Hi Dave, CO needs to be 0.3 or under... Have you had it pluged in yet? If you can smell fuel out the pipes and some of the plugs are sooty. You say the sooty plugs are on the one side. suggest a lazy co sensor. Your Compression test shows that the cylinders are within 10% which is okay. If you...

Hi dave, I told you the bolts were made from cheese. and your right it is a sod of a job. My first thought was to rip it off and get a new one. but when I saw the cost of new ones I decided to change my tackticks. If you havent already done so you need to drop the y piece of at the down pipe...

hi dave, Your nearly there with yours. If you are going to take the manifold off. eithinavee is right it is easier with the wheel arch mud shield out. You will also need to disconect the steering shaft. go steady on your head shield fixings as the threaded inserts have a tendancy to turn out...

Hi all, Well as soon as I get over one problem another apears. I suppose owning a rangie wouldnt be much fun if Land Rover made it faultless. Anyway back to the point. I have started to get a intermitent ABS fault come up on the message centre. I have plugged in Autologic and it shows right...

Hi bob, If you are looking for a short block are you talking new or second hand. As 4.6 blocks are prone to liners shifting (porous block) you would be better of sending yours away to have it machined and fitted with top hat liners that way you eliminate one of the most common problems. If you...

Hi Matt, you may want to look at track rod ends and stearing damper. I had a similer vibration under braking in mine and it was the damper. This might be a good place to start. Bryan

hi dave, regarding your misfire. Belive it or not what is happening to yours is the same as mine. you will propaply find that no 8 plug is completly oiled up. If you slip it out and clean it but it back in and run her up see what happens. Just out of interest if you take yours to 2000 - 2500...

hi all, Thought I would give you an update on my engine. Well after 4 day building and installing it she runs!!!!. The initial starting was a bit of a head scratcher as she refussed to fire.:confused: But a simple bit of thinking and broom. turned out to be the fual cut of switch had been...

Hi Dave, Sorry chap as much as I hate to say it but, I did think this would be the out come. I mean if you want to keep your vehicle and am not looking to part with it in the near future then rebuilbing the engine is the way to go. If you are going to do this I would take it to some one how...

Hi Dave, Some how I think I know how you feel!! Lambers are farly robust if yours have been changed then theres a good chance they were okay. There one of those thinks which ether work or dont. The garage which has your rangie are they a independent land rover specialist or a garage which...

Hi Dave, been giving your problem some fort and you dont have LPG fitted to your rangie do you? I only ask as the LPG hotwire system picks a feed up of one of the lamber sensors. I have seen it before and to get it through emmissions we simply unplug the LPG wire from the lamber and that...

Hi all, Dave sorry to hear about yours. I treid the lot to try and get mine through but the best product I would recomend is a forta gas treatment. chuck one in a full tank of fuel and you will notice the diffrance. Basicly it cleans all the fuel system including injectors. De-carbonises the...

Hi all, Sorry for the long reply on the update I have been coming to terms with the big bill which is pending. Anyway with the heads now completly rebuilt with new valves, oil seals and rocker gear. It is time to tern my attention to the block assembly. Two out of the eight cylinders have a...

Hi all, Heres the latest, Today I have streiped the heads of the rangie. after close inspection of the bores and the valve stem oil seals I was unable to find a sorce of the oil entering the bores. So at present I am putting it down to the fact that the engine has been abused some time in its...

Hi all Spent some more time on the rangie today, I substituted the injector which I thought was playing up, Took it for a long run. and it made no diffrance. It does go better but still smokes at high revs. Clutchdust... Checked out the o2 sensors and they are switching accross there full...

Hi all, Had a tinker with the rangie over the last few days. I am now convinced its not engine oil coming out the exhaust. I have developed a bit of a misfire at around 2000- 2500 revs. on removing of the spark plugs I found that no.2 cylinder the plug had completly oiled up. I thought it may...

Mik, Might want to check the vacuum hoses on the actuator in the engine bay. My cruse control wasnt working and all the electrical systems were fine. turned out the hoses had split. A simple five minuite job to replace them and easy to get to. Bryan
