:p:p It better be, it'll be a week before I can lift my arms above my head again:D:D PS True dedication to Range Rover ownership is helping a mate change out a gearbox even though your leg is in a cast:eek::eek: Seanmull, An utter nutter:D:D

Thanks James, I'll send you a PM when I have the box off this evening Cormac

Update: I went out today to get it ready for transporting to Seanmulls place and I said I'd just try low range manual. No go in D,3,2 but then in 1st I had movement forward! So I then tried it in normal high range and I have the same! When I was stuck on the side of the road I thought I tried...

My fan was hitting the stainless steel bracket for the EGR pipe after I removed the fan cowl. Don't believe it was hitting it before I took the cowl off.

I tried low range and all the gears but no movement forward. Thinking about it now I should have tried low range in manual mode but I reckon Keith is probably right. I must ahve a look on RAVE later. Mind you it would have saved me a 6.5km trip in reverse gear, I got some looks I can tell you:D :D

I've no issue with the box failing after 153,000 miles. Mine has had a pretty hard life between spending a lot of time off road and towing. And in fairness its given me plenty notice. The shift from 1st to 2nd has been bad for several thousand miles now, I normally lift off to ease the change...

153,000 miles, at least 83,000 of which I've done with powerbox fitted so while it may hasten gearbox demise it doesn't mean instant death

Pulling out from a side road today in my DSE auto into traffic, accelerate hard onto the main road, and all of sudden, plenty revs, no forward motion:eek::eek: Car behind brakes, beeps and goes round me as I'm sitting on the side of the road on a blind bend!! Sitting there for a minute...

Has your rangie been converted to springs or has a manual inflation system been installed?

Great choice!! Forester Diesel is high on my list of potential rangie replacements.

Ahhhh now, thats just 4x4 porn !!!:jaw::jaw::jaw:

When I was buying my P38 I was very close to plunging for a G-wagen but couldn't get a RHD with a turbodiesel. Again though, like the Amazon, they were double the price of the P38. Talking about it a few weeks ago with Seanmull we concluded that the only thing to replace a P38 is another...

What I heard from some old timers is that pouring water on a diesel pump was a means of diagnosing a pump with worn internals. The logic being that by cooling the pump casing relative to the internals (which would cool at a different rate due to being immersed in diesel) there would be an...

Its not in LRO's interest to advertise a fix that bypasses all its advertisers and costs virtually nothing. I've folllowed the Hot Start issue for years. There are different causes, some is internal wear in the pump resulting in reduced pump pressure (alledgedly partly curable by adding veg...

Mine is the same. The motor inside the lock is burned out.

:hysterically_laughi Thats what she says to me too :mooning:

Second that, I've a 98MY DSE outside the door that proves it. Donal, in all likelyhood the EDC code (called the EMS code in the BECM) for the BECM is incorrect. If it was me I'd try it first with the original diesel ECU(EDC). At least this one is already coded to the BECM and so you shouldn't...

What you mean you don't have one of these ;);): Best mod I've done!!

Same as that, got STR's when I couldn't get ST's thinking they'd be fine, they were terrible on the front. I'm running Toyo Opencountry AT's all round now, very happy with them, cheaper than GG AT2's.

Any Classic should be fairly easily accessible through the back window, at least with mine anyway, couldn't get the bloody things to stay shuton a rough road without taking off a gas ram!
