Have you tried using the key to open the lock, the drivers side should still open even if the battery is flat. This would allow you to get inside to release the bonnet.

Ebay item 280342885598 for air springs Ebay item 350182847451 for compressor seal kit. You can buy just the seal but I found that trying to seperate the ring to replace the old seal caused damage to the piston. These are just 2 suggestions so please shop around and see what you can find. I...

1. 20" rims will cause the car to wander, there are a lot of posts on this subject. Changing from 16" rims to 18" causes a noticeable difference in drive, the conlusion most people have found is that 18" rims fitted with Pirelli Scorpion tyres seem to be the best combination and put an end to...

The book symbol only appears when the AC is turned off, it takes around 2 minutes for it to appear. I can run the blend motors through the whole range from Hi to Lo with no problems and can distribute the air using the buttons on the front of the HEVAC unit correctly. If I have the AC switched...

Hi Andy, thanks for your reply, I am based in the High Wycombe/Amersham area I agree with your comments and will need to get some diagnostics done first. If you are not too far away I would be more than happy to pay you for the diags check

For some reason I get the book symbol when I have the air con switched off but when I switch it on, it doesnt appear. A check has revealed that the air con compressor isnt kicking in, so why I dont get an error when it should be running is beyond me. I have even turned the interior fans off so...

Can anyone recommend an independant garage to look at my P38. The garage I normally use seem to gone of the boil a bit, forgetting to fit parts it's been booked in for, spending weeks before sending out an invoice despite the bill being settled before the car is taken away. I do most of the work...

No the pedal doesnt suffer the clicking I have read about. It varies from being firm almost from when you put you foot on it to soft and travelling about half way

I have noticed that sometimes when braking the car feels as though one of the discs are warped. The fronts were replaced a couple of months ago so should be OK. What is odd is that this feeling isnt always present, sometimes I can brake with no shudder/jerking at all so this implies the discs...

Had a search on here but couldnt find an answer to this. My glove box has a gap of approx half to 3/4 of on inch from the wooden panel, it latches OK, in that it doesnt drop down whilst driving. I cannot see any adjustment to the two catches at all, however, there are 2 grub screws at the bottom...

Front diff is now part of a recall and is fixed for free by your local dealer, so one thing to take out of the equation. If you are looking to buy one, check to see if this has been done first, unless it's a LR dealer, dont take the sellers word it has been done, a call to your local dealer will...

IPSOS, if it's only when the air con is on, you have a blocked drian tube. The exits for these are located under the vehicle either side of the gearbox, they look like those old fashined tea towel holders, a bulbous rubber with a cross cut in to it. Give these a squeeze and see if any water...

You shouldnt have to take the dash out to get the the motors, do you have classic or P38? If P38, each motor is easy to get at. Remove shroud under steering column, (large plastic section) and you will see right hand motor marked with a large VALEO sticker. On passenger side, remove glovebox and...

Also, if you have access to a timing light, check that the timing is still correct, I have known these to go out slightly and cause the vehicle not to start. Nylon teeth on timing gears wear and can slip, distributor clamp loosens off and causes movement.

Told off, I hardly think so. It was a good response to the original post and gave an sight into the owner of the vehicle. Surely my defence of the vehicle itself, which is constantly berated isnt considered unworthy on this forum. I for one enjoyed reading the reply, I didnt feel told off or put...

You start your post off by saying you are not happy you bought a Range Rover, this is the same Range Rover you personally checked over and was satisfied with before you habded over any cash. The battery failed after just a few hours of ownership so that was definately knackered before you drove...

There is a company called "before n after" that claim to do the ultimate in waxproofing. I havent used them so cannnot say either way if they are any good, perhaps some of the members here have dealt with them. From what I have read, they appear to offer a good service. The problem with doing...

The EAS fault message will need to be cleared by testbook or dealer. It could be a number of things that has caused the problem, does the compressor run at all? What lights are showing on the height control switch?

as none of the equipment is standard it's going to be impossible to diagnose via the forum, unless you get lucky and someone has one of the items fitted to their own vehicle. It may be quicker and probably safer to have an ICE expert take a look, it will incur a cost of course but at least you...

I'm on 150,000 with my 1997 4.6, original engine and so far, no problems and I drive it every day. That said, I have read of many that fail long before this kind of mileage. Firstly, remove the expansion cap, and check the coolant level and colour, leave the cap off and start the car, check all...
