I have now found the fault and all those interested should have grabbed it while the going was good. It was the bonnet latch after all. The internals of the switch although clicking were not working, but Wills' idea of removing it did not let the system ignore it. If you remove alarm sensors the...

A friend of mine is a Volvo race mechanic and even he won't look at the Range Rover!!!!....the last V70R I had was 420BHP. It may be just an estate but they don't half go:D The standard is 285bhp, or 325bhp if you have the Rica chip fitted. And they hold the road like excretia to blanket...

Thanks for that:) Sadly my local land Rover is about 15 miles away and they have quoted £400 to pick up and check it out!!!!! (There is no-one else local who can fix it and I have tried 11 local garages...they all say go to Land Rover we don't ever touch Range Rovers 'cos they are rubbish!!!)...

Now up for sale. No-one seems to be able to sort out the key code lock so I have started by putting it on this group in the Range Rover for sale section. If no takers then it goes on eBay. I absolutely refuse to pay a Land Rover garage £400 to tow it in and report on the fault. They think it may...

No-one any ideas? Looks like another week of public transport:( I am getting to the stage of selling this vehicle and going back to a Volvo V70R. Always wanted a Rangey but realise now it was a BIG mistake. This is the most trouble I have ever had in 35 years plus of motoring...and I bought...

Hi Everyone Had to take the battery off the Rangey for a while. Put battery back on and the keys won't reset...engine immobilsied. Have found the fault I think. Whilst trying to reset the code I could see through the window the bonnet open warning come on. I would guess this is why it won't...

Hello again. Website is closed at the moment pending the announcement of a new acquisition. You mention LR mags. Which ones are worth getting please? Obviously this site offers huge support and general help and info, but are there any clubs worth joining? Cheers Bob

Thanks for that Irishrover. I need to find out what Amp I need. If this is the 120 amp then that is a great price. I have found the 105 amp for a lot less.... new Land Rover part from a surplus store. Where do I find Paddocks if I need them please? Cheers Bob

Thanks Redhand. saw this comment earlier. was going to reply with the results....... However........ Half way to Halfords it went wrong again :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: This time though as I was just chugging along at around 30mph in traffic I was able to see exactly what happened. When I...

I think we do actually have one in the area. The problem is taking it off and getting it there. Guess I'm going to have to try. :eek: Looks quite easy though. I was hoping to find somewhere which could check it and the battery in situ to see if anything flags up. Local Landy dealer in Lincoln...

Hi Everyone I couldn't find anyone locally to test the output on the battery and alternator. On the basis the alternator warning came up on the dash I have been looking at the prices of a new one, and then keeping the old one re-brushed as a spare. A dealer I know quite well on eBay shows a...

>>>>>>It appears everything is now running properly. The battery is charged and has still full power. I have run the car on tick over for 30 minutes. Each five minutes I have added extra things on..lights, wipers, heaters, demisters, etc and still all seems fine. Just one strange thing when I...

Hi Dorset No I wasn't. Thanks for that. However I think they still do not work. I recently did a night trip in salt spray conditions with wipers on and frequent use of wash wipes and the headlights at the end of the journey had to be seen to be believed. Cheers Bob

Hi All 1996 Rangey 2.5 Diesel. Front headlight wash wipes not working. Possible cause and typical things to check please? Thanks Cheers Bob

Hi All 2.5 Rangey Diesel 1996. Just bought a genuine RR part of a high level brake light and surround. Came from a Rangey and saw it working. Stripped out my rear window surround and have found two wires which appear to be the ones for the rear hi level light. Plugged it in but nothing. If the...

Hi Wills /Everybody Tempting fate here, but a few days on and the battery and all runs fine. Still no idea what it was, but I am going to guess it was water in some where it shouldn't have been, shortimng something out. There is no other logical explanation for it. Thanks again for all the...

Hi Everyone. Hope we all had a good Christmas. I charged the battery just before Christmas and left it free standing. The reading was the same this morning, so the battery may be OK. I have now plugged it into the car and yipppeeee we have ignition and Gears:D However several things are...
