:eek::eek::eek: I'll cut a long story short. I have a RR p38 4.6HSE. I had to brake HARD (from 70-0) after some idiot cut me up on a dual carridgeway. ABS kicked in and manged to miss the other car. When I came to a halt, I noticed a wisp of smoke. I assumed this was from the tyres/brakes (2...

Have now swapped out the starter motor for a new one. What a C**T of a job! The bolt on the rear is almost impossible to get to. I managed to get the right length ratchet extension only to find that my cheapo ratchet did not have enough room to get any purchase. I gave up eventually and...

Thanks for the advice. I have got my new starter on order £59 inc vat. Will have a go at fitting it next weekend, if its arrived by then. in the meantime I'll get to work on the audio as it does not have a radio. If you have any tips I'll gladly take any audio advice people have. I have...

Thanks Irish Rover...that helps, I'll let you know how I get on. It looks like a pain in the ass job. that top bolt will be a bitch to get to. Am I right with the info above in thinking its the starter? seems a bit strange that it wasn't playing up immediately before? Im guessing they...

:confused: I think I have diagnosed my non starter as the starter motor. But have some questions: any info greatly appreciated. Anyone changed one? Difficult job? How many bolts bolt it on to the block (I can only see one)? How much do LR charge for parts/fitting? Any alternative parts...

OK...latest....thanks for all your help so far guys. Tell me if my diagnosis is off the mark here. Changed the fuse and turned key....a fair bit of smoke coming from beneath engine bay. I get down below car and starter motor connections all looking ok, but starter motor casing very hot...

I MAY repeat MAY have found the problem. I thought i had checked the correct fuse. I read fuse 2 when that should have been MAXI fuse 2 (the bigger one). Its gone. Worse than that, it had been bridged with some very thin wire by a cowboy previous owner or their mechanic. This has burnt...

Hi Lady, (sounds bad mannered, not meant that way) I have only just bought the car, and it was running very sweetly for a couple of weeks, except for a cruise control issue (fixed in 30 secs thanks to this forum). If you get any joy let me know....I've been reading your posts with interest...

Thanks guys....Irish Rover, or anyone else, Do you know what gadget I need for a 97 petrol or is it a mandatory trip to the extorsionists at my local LR garage?? Also, is there a way around it just to get it started. I read somewhere that if you directly fire the starter from the batt using...

I have now been told that The engine ECU security code may be the issue. Does anyone have a syncmate or other similar gadget near Corby in Northants?

Sorry...should be more clear... I get that message but nothing indicating a fault. Nothing suggesting a fault or security shutout etc. nothing when I turn the key. I assume the car battery is ok. While they do not put a cranking load on the batt, the eas and everything else electrical seems...

Hi guys, This is my first post to the forum...so hi. My new (to me) 97 Range Rover died on me today. It had been running fine, but when I returned to it in the garden centre car park...nothing. Whats known: No messages on msg centre All the warning lights come on and the ones that...
