Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not getting any unexpected noises from it or through the speakers, all I have noticed is that it sometimes misses the first second of a song when I select the next track on a cd!

Hi all, The 6-disc changer in my 1995 HSE jumps all the time unless the car is not moving, or the road is silky smooth (unusual in Kent :rolleyes:). It's worse when cold, seems better when it's warmed up/ been on a while. Any fix/ maintenance I can do? Or am I expecting too much from...

Very much a 'try at your own risk' type of thing... but I know of someone who improves this type of damage by passing a hot air gun over the scuff, after trimming off the raised parts with a razor blade. This also gives an instant back-to-black effect that doesn't fade in a couple of days! I'd...

Was the car supplied by a Land Rover specialist? I only ask because if not, I'd say it's unlikely they'll have the right gear to interogate your ECM, unless they specialise/ advertise a diagnostics service. There must be someone on here in the area that is willing to read your fault codes and...

I think the rule of thumb with these cars is to get it spot-on on petrol first, then service the LPG system (vapouriser rebuild, filter change etc), finally tuning the LPG system and fuelling with a laptop-based programme. I've been through this with mine and have not allowed it to run on gas...

I think your car is GEMS (going by the pic of the MAF?) You may find the LPG has caused the car's ECM to alter it's fuel trims to that of rich running.. I believe this happens due to the LPG system needing servicing, supplying less gas due to semi-blocked LPG filters/ heavy ends and the ECM...

That loose air pipe is not too much of a problem because it is before the air-mass meter, although it is technically unfiltered air. Re the rich running, do you have an LPG conversion? I would say, check for fault codes, if none found, clean the MAF meter, check operation of this and the...

Which one's that Steve, the Shell just out of the High Street? I normally use the Sommerfield in East Peckham, but have been using just petrol for the last few weeks.. That one has probably gone over 70ppl now :mad:

Do you have to climb over the lower tailgate though? Do the rubber straps hold the weight?

I'd imagine someone saw damp on the carpets and immediately disconnected the heater matrix fearing the O rings were leaking! It was probably just rain water though. Congrats on your free repair :)

Too true... LR quoted £821!! :doh:

Thanks for your advice, I've been looking at the Bosch-branded ones from ECP. Been quoted £122+ vat, any good?

I have to agree.. it's pathetic really! My 1975 Mini is much more dependable than the (£50k?) Range Rover! Progress? :doh:

Do they fail intermitently then? I just want to make sure I'm fixing the actual problem instead of just throwing (more) new parts at it. The wiring is so thin on these.. and quite brittle when it's exposed to heat :doh:

Oh dear, sounds like a very bad experience with that one :eek: ! Mine was good really, had very little other than servicing to get it to 150k.. (the point at which I sold it). Sunroof was always a bugger though!

I think your RRC will be ok Mike... much less sillyness to play up while you've left it! Talking of old Porsches, I used to have a 944S which sometimes drained it's battery.. removal of the 4 previously fitted/bodged/disconnected/knackered immobilisers cured the problem!

Hi all, I'm having trouble with high CO levels. Had the car (1995 P38, 4.6 HSE) on the scanner and I'm getting very irratic readings from the MAF sensor. Sometimes it's correct. Testbook shows 21ish kg at idle, which increases to 70ish at 3000 rpm. However, sometimes the reading just goes...

Shhhhhh Datatek, they're listening you know!

It is a pleasant surprise when they actually work as they should do! I can leave mine two weeks and it starts instantly too, there must be no-one near me with a cordless weather station or doorbell!

Battery of course, other than that, everything important 'should' be sheilded from the effects of Mig.. but I would definately be removing or at least unplugging the sensitive BeCM.. it doesn't need any excuse to lose sync with the engine control unit!
