Hi - I'm thinking about getting a Range Rover and wondered if there was a reasonable consensus on which engine/gearbox is considered the most reliable. Or for that matter, which Range Rover is the most reliable. I've had all the Defenders (only up to TD5) and Discoveries (only up to 3.0v6) and...

Hi - Just changed my MAF sensor as it was reporting Low Air code on Nanocom - All MAF related stuff now reporting and low air code gone. However, I now have a new fault showing up that wasn't there before: "10.3 Tachometer Drive Open Load/10.4 Gearbox/ABS Drive Open Load" I dont have a tacho...

Hi - Trying to work out if my Nanocom can disable the volumetric function on the Alarm as it goes off randomly - I have found occasional web but even a fly can set it off. First, I have not found a setting to disable so do I have to physically just disconnect it? Along the way I noticed that...

Just got my new Nanocom Evo for TD5 Defender - Nothing wrong with my td5 (or so I thought) but it is coming up with "1.7 air flow circuit (logged low)" So, I checked plug on MAF and getting 12 odd volts to one of the pins. Have not done any more with that but went then to Evo again and looked at...

Can someone pin up, as a fixed forum piece, this subject please (like the protected bit on paint & colours or TDI engine conversion pieces are protected for instance) If you do a search, and I have tried, its full of meaningless junk where people are scrabbling about trying to find it, too much...

My interior lights work fine by switching on the lamp switches, but not via any of the 5 doors. Opening any of the 5 doors does set off the alarm so am I ok to assume the door switches are working correctly? I've searched and I've seen mention of the gubbins that fades the lights out when you...

Thought I'd share this resolution that worked for me - I've been around the houses trying to find the cause of an intermittent misfire. Symptoms are similar to the injector loom issue but with a slight indicator to an alternative. Mine would stutter, engine management light showing briefly and...

I have clonk on take up - I've changed driveshafts and splined drive adaptors and no movement there but still plenty with wheels on ground and turning prop by hand to and fro. I've taken a video to demonstrate movement but not sure how or if I can get it on here so posted on youtube. Here is the...

I'd like to replace my centre seats on my 99 County 110 for something high backed. Anyone done this easily with seats from another vehicle? - my existing ones are black elites up front, black low backs in centre and benches at rear. Appreciate replies from anyone who has actually done this or...

Hi All, Casing down a lighting issue and seems to stem back (so far) to a brown lead at main lighting switch - It reads battery voltage, right up until I power up with test light instead of meter, and then reads zero volts. Everywhere else seems to have power, including at underseat fusebox -...

Hi All, A cautionary note to anyone interested on this subject, like me your noise could be a very easy "fix" on your Defender Yesterday whilst turning sharp left I got an awful scrunching grinding noise from what sounded like the right front wheel or thereabouts. Each time I did the same...

Looking for side panels with windows fitted please - sliding preferably - to suit an 86 Ninety. If they are tempest green too I'll nip out first and fill in my lottery ticket before I get back to you ok..

Hi All, I have a D3 with a suspension issue - it says on the dash Suspension Fault - Normal Ride Height Only. My question is, should/can a Hawkeye identify any specific issues with that and is the Hawkeye Total I've read about on a search here the right bit of kit to buy - will it plug...

Yes, squillions of posts regarding this - I've spent hours searching and all I've found is yes you can, no you can't, fit spacers, don't fit spacers and of course - don't do it they look etc etc etc. If you have a spare fortnight, have a go at getting a definitive yourself haha. General...

Hi, Do any of the code readers read to 7 digits please (ie p019124 etc) Thanks

Hello, I have a 2007 TDV8 sport. Runs perfectly on 1st start, and continues to run fine - But once switched off each successive restart takes longer and longer. Hooking it up to a standard code reader, it reports po191 Any ideas - And would a Land Rover test regime (nano or hawk etc) show more...

Hello, Anyone know which model Series can I swap roof with on my 2A (if any) - Can I swap the solid sides for a windowed set of sides from a series 3 for instance?

Hi, Just purchased a 2a 1965 and one of the jobs to do is the speedo binnacle - Its there but very scruffy - is there anywhere I can replace the decals for the switch signs? I am also looking for an image of the steering column shroud, mine has just exposed cables so I need to get one...

I have a 1988 Ninety - I've trawled here and web looking for this and tried all I've found but nothing doing. Diff Lever moves, I can see the lever on the c link turning on gearbox, probably an inch or so and it feels like a click. No light, diff lock not working either (I've lifted a wheel...

I have a Defender 90 2.5 TD with a 19J - Just wondering how it should perform and was looking for some comparisons. Nothing too stressy but mine does 0-40 in 13 seconds on the flat, unloaded, driver only onboard- Is this about right?
