Hi All, Its been a long time so please be gentle with me if I'm asking a dumb question :-) I have a 2005 RR Sport, 4.2 SC petrol, 125k miles. It was running fine and started on the button every time with no hint of a problem. I drove from home to a shopping centre (approx 10 miles), parked up...

Maybe true if you buy direct, but you can buy from local stockists (Bell Auto Services in the UK) for less money and no import duty.

Not sure if I'm jumping in with no experience of Range Rovers, but I believe P0171 and P0174 could refer to the MAF - I had a pig of a job with similar symptoms on an old x-type with this. I found a thread here which may have some clues to help - and sorry for pointing to a different forum :-)

Hi All, Just introducing myself - I've moved from the dark side of Freelander 1 ownership into the luxury of Range Rover ownership. Just bought a 2005 Range Rover Sport, 4.2 supercharged, which I collect some time this week. Just the basic model, but seems to have everything I need (Privacy...

Yep, very aware of that - always 5 tyres the same make and 2 newest on the back :-)

2005 TD4 bought as a toy a few years ago. Fell in love with it and it soon became our primary car (above the Jag !!). Had it's MOT yesterday at nearly 135k miles and passed with 2 advisories - needs tyre (already on order) and rusty back coil spring. Looks like we have another year of great...

Great write up. I've got 3 spares and 1 in bits with a lost ball bearing :-) I'll give this a go when I get back to the uk.

Yep, you're right - I was thinking of the suspension components needed for some (all maybe?) cars for the self levelling lights to work - need to engage brain before typing :-)

Try and find a tyre you want then look on the Asda Tyre website. They have a big range from budget to top brands. Prices are good and they deliver to a garage near you (I used local Halfords). I've just had a set of 4 on my x-type, mid-range decent tyres including balancing and alignment for...

I don't think you are right here. If you have self leveling suspension and/or headlamp cleaners then these must be working to pass an MOT after a Xenon/LED conversion. At least that was the ruling a few years ago - I checked with my MOT centre before doing the conversion on a jag x-type -...

Well you're brilliant at cleaning cars anyway :p Wanna do mine?

Got it all sorted - it was the pressure regulator on the HP pump. A bit of a pain to change but now running very sweetly again. Also changed a few of the small fuel hoses (leak off etc) whilt the airpipes and manifold were off as they were showing signs of wear. Cheers to everyone for help...

Thanks, I thought the PTFE ring would be split because it wouldn't stretch over the shaft like the o'ring will.

I decided to be a bit less lazy than normal for a Sunday and had a look at the HP regulator as the manifold etc was already off - as per xamtex and others suggestions. The O'ring has split with a small piece missing, and the PTFE glide ring also has a large gap in it. New seal kit on order and...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm having a couple of lazy days at the moment so I haven't checked anything since stripping down to check all sensors. When I put it back together I'll get the info on before/after pressures and other data. I did see the thread about the HP pump pressure regulator...

Hi All, SOLVED: The problem was the seals in the pressure regulator on the HP pump. Thanks for the posts and links, TD4 now running sweet as a nut again :-) I have a problem, (or maybe more) with my Freelander 1. It is a 2005 facelift TD4. Up until the problem it was running fine and with no...

You bought it from "north west landrover specialists". and now there's a problem it was a private sale? Even if you accept to carry out the repairs yourself I'd report them to trading standards just to cause them a problem.

Hi All, hopefully an easy question... I want to add a couple of USB ports to the centre console - 2 for back seats and 2 for front seats. Under the console is an unused, ignition switched connector which I think is the aux power connector fed from fuse F10 (20A on my car, was 15A or 20A for...

It could be a number of things, but may be worth looking at the cam sensor. This is only used at first ignition to time the position of the cam to the ECU for the injectors. Sometimes these fail when hot and need to cool down. Plenty of threads on here about it - some people have tested this by...

If 100W bulbs are your only problem then you deserve a bit of ribbing :-) just wait till you have HG fail or loss of power problems - then you'll see how friendly and expert the forum is. I got my TD4 as a midlife crisis present - a bit of a dog with good bodywork (Hippo not me) - with the help...
