Has the front L.H. height sensor had a knock? as this sets the ride height.If the steering geometry, tyres, wheels etc. are in spec. and the transfer box viscous coupling not wound up then the only thing I can think of is possible body misalignment.Have a read of Viscous Coupling faults on...

I'm working nightshift and have just had a thought.You say the car has just had an M.O.T. If the car had the brake test on a single "Rolling Road",this could have put the nail in the coffin of your Viscous Coupling if the tester was over enthusiastic.The viscous coupling is similar to the unit...

Maybe the Viscous Coupling in the Transfer Gearbox has "Wound up"-to check this, park the car on a slope,select neutral and turn steering wheel on full lock.Let off the brakes and roll back,if the tyres scrub there is a strong probability that the transmission has wound up. If you want a second...

Hi Doug, Just trying to help you save money.It's like a Dyson cleaner out there with all these main dealers trying to take our cash.Pity they don't realise that we are "Ordinary" motorists and not able to have access to the bottomless pit of money that they dream about. It's brilliant that a...

Has the car been stood for some time whilst the repair took place.Oil can drain from the Hydraulic tappets over time and it takes ages to prime them.If the tappets are devoid of oil,they can't open the valves enough.If you have done an oil change there is a possibility the oil pump may need...

The P38 key has an individual "Lockset Barcode" consisting of around approx. 12 digits,this code is programmed into the BECM and is specific to the vehicle.The other "Spare" keys also have their own individual code which is different to the others as the keys are identified as Key 01,02 etc. A...

Get in touch with supplying dealer (Origional) they should be able to get the code but will need proof of ownership and the VIN.

Chipping will give you more power,but remember it is still a 2.5 hauling 2tons of motor.If you try to get similar performance to the 4.0 or 4.6 you will probably find deisel fuel costs no different to the petrol or maybe worse.If you are happy just taking things steady then why have the chipped...

The battery was probably disconnected too soon after the engine was stopped.Try disconnecting the battery after about five minutes then reconnect-you will have to teach the windows etc and the radio code.If that does not work the fault light will have to be reset by either a LR main dealer or...

The 4.6 is far superior pulling wise than the DSE which has a poor power to weight ratio.Before purchasing any P38 ensure that ALL electrics work-especially the rear wiper-I know it sounds stupid but it cost me £700 to get the rear wiper going as the BECM which controls all the electrics was...
