The Tornado chip is a simple 2 chip plug in. If you can't simply swap the ECUs, then open both (watch out for a squirt of security fluid from one of the case screws if yours hasn't been opened previously!) and swap the chips over. The 2 Tornado chips are both a piggyback arrangement, you'll...

I recently fitted a second hand pump sourced from Ebay, I just selected one that looked clean in their photo from as late a car as I could, comparing others against condition, cost etc. Hopefully as most are suppled from breakers yards if they send you a duff one there should be some sort of...

And as usual, it's the law abiding person who takes the finincial hit. I have 3 cars, all insured, collective annual cost of 3 policies is something like £1100. Should I not insure one and get caught it would cost me £1000 in fines plus points on my otherwise clean license. They can trace me...

I'm taking this thread way off topic...... I understand the requirement for some of the proposals, how many times have you been blinded by an old Corsa with aftermarket HIDs? So agree, they should be made illegal. However, there are some cars with factory fitted HIDs that have no self...

I can't find any info on proposed changes to the UK MOT that will check for the presence/operation/removal of a EGR system. All I can find is: Other items – such as headlamp bulb and unit incompatibility, headlamp levelling devices and illegal engine ‘chipping’ – will need further thought...

Anyone know the differences between the various part numbers for the HEVAC control unit? Seems they have been changed at least 3 times over the years, part number JFC102550 being the latest I think, and as fitted to my car. The external temperature display on mine is wrong, seems only to show...

To show their markup on some products, I bought a litre of brake fluid t'other day, shelf price was £9.99, using my Halfords Trade card, the price dropped to £3.89!

Do a Google search and depending on where you read it, Halfords oil is made by Esso, Comma and Duckhams! Could be any company. But whoever it is, it won't be the same stuff as in the branded tin, oils contain many additives in a recipe, and pretty sure Halfords will specify their own recipe...

Sounds like harmonic resonance. There's a a lot of mechanicals all turning about under a Rangie, and a few will vibrate at certain frequencies related to road speed. To remove these noises, Land Rover even fitted harmonic dampers (those big round heavy lumps of metal bolted underneath), but...

You should really sell the BeCM with all ignition keys as they are set to the BeCM and neither can be reprogrammed. You should also include the drivers door and glovebox locks. Also include the chassis number, as should new keys be required without this the new owner is stuffed. The new owner...

It's not a settable speed limit on the computer, it's just a settable warning. Exceed the set speed and you'll get warning beeps and a message saying speed exceeded, but this has no other effect. You can happily exceed the set speed. The P38 does have a factory set speed limit though ASAICR...

But to answer the original question, no, LR did not change the design of the cast block. Until the end of production LR used plain liners cast into the cylinder block. It's only engine repair companies that bore out the old liners and fit replacement top hat style (more correctly termed...

You don't legally have to have a spare wheel. But if you do have one, it has to have a legal tyre! Including at the correct pressure. Dunno how they decide what's correct when the rears are 36 and the fronts are 28 psi...... It's not subject to inspection at MOT though.

Or go to Halfords and buy a couple of tins of proper bumper paint. They do it in dark grey and black, get the black. They also sell bumper preparer spray, it's just a can of solvent to clean all the grease (or peanut butter!) off first. You don't need a primer and the paint is specially...

Aylmer Motors Land Rover servicing in Hertfordshire and North London Been good to me, and really nice people.

There's a link on the DVLA website somewhere, fill it in, type a reson why the info is required, pay £5 or something similar and if they think the request is valid they'll forward the current owner's details. The worst that'll happen is you'll loose a fiver.

Wow! What a rip off. The O2 sensor prices for genuine LR boxed items are: ERR1834 Upto 1997 £303.70 AMR6244 1998 £253.56 MHK100940 from 1999 £64.32 From Rimmer Bros the prices for non-genuine items not in a LR box are £65.77 and £66.63 respectivly for the early types, the later one isn't...

I'm not suprised at that. Mine has to order what I need (if I don't get it online), but t'other day I wanted an engine sump plug washer, autobox strainer with O rings and sump gasket. The parts chappie (who I know very well (wonder why?) was very suprised that he had it all in stock. He said...

I tried to get a rear seat release yellow button cover thingie for my '04 Freelander 2 years ago (so car was only 5 years old at the time) only to be told the part was obsolete back then. Seems trim parts are made in small numbers above production requirements and when sold out that's it. Land...

You posted far too much personal detail I'm guessing, plus it's in the wrong forum. We'd find it if you put it in the for sale section, no need to tell us. You've got'ave been nuts to post your mobile no or real e-mail address etc, unless you don't want them anymore, after 1/2 day you'd have...
