    Well I've gone and bought one :o)

    Regardless of cost you sound very happy, so thats money well spent. I'm sure you will have lots of fun. As has been said before, regular oil changes using good oil will reap rewards. As a guide my 4.6 has 147000 miles on her and I have only just changed the air springs and refurbished the EAS...

    range rover wont start

    Seems as though you have tried most things, are you getting fuel to all cylinders? If you take each spark plug out in turn they should be wet if it's not starting. If all spark plugs are sparking then this would indicate that the ignition side is sound, do you know anyone with a similar vehicle...

    4.6HSE vs TD6 Fuel economy

    I thought the idea of the forum was to post messages so that others with experience would be able to answer the post. I was hoping to get the views of 4.6 owners and TD6 owners, if I wanted official figures I would have gone to Land Rover direct. Your response as a senior member surprises me...

    98 P38 4.6HSE Autobiography Engine start problem..

    If you get a chirp when you lock the door then the alarm is reporting an error, sounds as though it thinks a door is not shut. You will need the EKA if you cannot get any of the remotes to work, main problems with the P38 alarm is the sensor on the passenger pillar, however, I dont recall this...

    range rover wont start

    Not unknown for the timing to slip, sometimes the nylon teeth on the spockets wear, if you have a timing light connect this to No1 spark plug lead and see when it fires, it should be around the TDC mark on the crank pulley. If you dont have a timing light, mark the distributor location, loosen...

    P38 V8 with 300k+ miles!

    Well the original V8 was good for 250,000 miles +, my own P38 has just turned 147,000. It's all down to good quality oil and lots of changes plus the way it's driven, if you thrash any engine it will wear far quicker than it should. Congratulations on the milage, what issues, if any have you had?

    engine disabled message

    With the EKA access are you turning the key fully round and holding it in place for about 1 second for each turn, if I remember correctly, you should start with the vehicle locked, then begin the EKA procedure, so on the 4th turn of the number combination the vehicle is locked, then when you...

    4.6HSE vs TD6 Fuel economy

    Hi all, 2 questions here really, I am looking to change my current GEMS 4.6 HSE for an 02 RR TD6. What difference can I expect in fuel consumption, I have just completed a 750 mile trip to the West Country, plus sightseeing and used around 2 tanks of fuel. Secondly, would an 02 model fall in to...

    Can anyone Recommend a good battery?

    I have a late 1997 4.6 HSE. The battery has been completely flat twice now. I have had no problems getting it going from a jump start, I was informed that the sync system was changed so that the receiver in the ignition switched automatically set the system up, no need to enter the EKA or press...

    Classic Range Rover 1990 3.9 Efi odd starting issue

    Hi Nick, many thanks for your reply. I can rule out the fuse box and ignition switch. As for the earth strap on the gearbox, not checked for that so will take a look over the weekend. One thing I have noticed is that when the ignition is at switch 2, the fuel pump whirrs in to life as I would...

    Classic Range Rover 1990 3.9 Efi odd starting issue

    Well this one has me a little stumped. My classic Range Rover has a mind of it's own when it comes to starting. I turn the key, the dash lights come on but the starter motor clicks once and thats it, no turn of the engine. The clock doesnt work and the fan motor will not spin until it is put on...
