    How the hell???????

    I think that the only way is to remove the upper manifolds. I've just had an LPG conversion done on mine and invested in a set of magnecor 8mm with the hope that these should last longer than the standard leads.

    want to buy a new shape Range Rover Vogue

    I've run a V8 on LPG for many years. Providing the installation is correct and the timing settings are right there is no reason why overheating should be a problem. My engine runs at the same temperature on LPG as on petrol. Performance difference is unnoticeable in normal driving and...

    Fuel tank removal

    I'm going to remove the petrol tank from my V8 DII and replace woth an 8 gallon tank in the rear wing in readiness for an LPG conversion. Rave suggests that the fuel system needs to be depressurised with Test Book before the fuel pump etc is taken out. Is there any other way to depressurise the...

    Diff lock & Snow chains

    I've been driving my RR Classic and Disco 2 for 5 years in Poland during the winter - and here we get lots of snow. All I use is All Terain tyres - Never had a problem. I carry a set of chains in the Classic but have never used them - even in the mountains - so haven't bothered to buy them for...

    Series 2 disco with transmission temp problem

    First suspect is the transmission temperature sensor. Easy replacement as it can be accessed through an inspection panel behind the front roght hand wheel. Replaced mine after problems with red warning light coming on all the time and has completely cured the problem. This is a common fault on...

    Air suspension

    I would suspect that it was converted to coils in the first place because there was a major problem - compressor / valve block etc. Both of these are expensive items and you would do well to check all components first

    LPG classic, reliable?

    I've been running my RRC classic on LPG for 3 years or so now. Single point system and get about 220 miles on a 70 litre fill - equates to just over 14mpg. But with LPG about half of petrol price gives a cost comparison of 28mpg against petrol. For a 4.2 V8 I think this is fantastic. I have...

    V8 3.9 Turns over but won't start

    V8's don't like any moisture. Liberally spray WD40 on ignition coil, distributor and all plug leads. Then try to start again. This always works with my classic

    Fuel Consumption

    On average driving on open roads you should be getting 15 litres / 100 km (18 mpg). If you use the car mainly in traffic expect this to be nearer to 20 litres/100km (14 mpg) or worse. Best I've ever done is 14 litres/100km (20 mpg)

    Snow 4x4 driving HELP!

    Hi. The range rover is permanent 4 wheel drive. The small gear lever I think you are referring to is the low range (off road) / High range (normal on road driving). Normal high range is quite ok for snow (obviously take more care than on dry roads). I drive my Range Rover Classic in Poland where...

    tyres

    I run my disco and classic rangie in Poland so road conditions very similar to Bulgaria. Changed my 18" for 16" on the disco this year because 18" did not cope at all well with the rough roads over here. Now have 16" General Grabber AT2's on the Disco and BF Goodridge Long Trails on the Rangie...
