I think what I will do is fill up again and then run for about 350-380 miles then sort the problem out!!

What mpg do you get on your diesel then:eek: . Imust admit I thought it would still be cheaper to run even with the price hikes!

I average about 20mpg and the v8 has a 100 liter tank (22 gallons) so that comes out at closer to 440 miles even if I put my foot down a bit I would rarely see less than 18mpg and that still works out at 396 miles!! Not brilliant but not as bad as you think!

No really................

But there is the quandary.....how (short of running out of fuel) will I know when I'm nearly empty!!!:eek:

It's a 4.6 P38 so don't really want to have to worry about the fuel situation (well more than I do anyway!!!)

I've got a problem with my fuel gauge at the moment, the gauge is reading about 1/4 full when the tank is full I drive 50 miles or so and the light comes on and the computer tells me it's time to fill up again, if I go up and down a sharp incline the gauge seems to go back up agian for a while...

I'm currently building a Lightweight Range Rover Hybrid. I have fitted a 3.9 V8 with ZF 4 speed auto and was going to use a 90/110 handbrake. Has anyone out there got any idea what cable might link them without to much fuss?

I've just hadf a similar problem to this. I checked all bushes an track rod ends etc and all were ok. I then took it to my local tyre fitter who checked the wheel alignment and found it was well out, this had caused the inside edge of the tyres to round off slightly (but still legal), so I got...

Have now replaced the thermostat and the problem has been solved! Many thanks for everyones advice on this!

Check this out, they look like the OE ones to me! LATEST 2002 ON RANGE ROVER STAINLESS STEEL SIDE RUNNER on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 03-Feb-08 20:15:00 GMT)

I have fitted them before (LR ones). From memory all the fixing points are already in the body and the fitting instructions that come with the kit are pretty good but with very few words (all pictures). I think the fixing around the air suspension tank are a bit challenging but not impossible...

any misfire on start?

Had this go on mine a couple of months back, part only cost about £10 from the dealer!

Haven't had a chance to check the thermostat yet but will try too in the next week or so. I did take my motor to see the mechanic yesterday he noticed that the coolant level had gone down since he serviced it a couple of weeks ago and said that I should keep an eye on it. He did warn about 4.6's...

No that's the front bit but just looked on e-bay and island 4x4 are doing the bits I need for just under £250 so might give them a go.

Ok will do...Thanks for that!!!

That could explain it... is there a simple test to check for that??

I need to get a new mid and rear section for my 4.6 P38 anyone know of anywhere cheap? I've been quoted £350 for them from my local exhaust fitter so far is this a good deal????

Driving home the oter night in -3 degrees C, I watched the engine temperature drop quickly to the bottom of the dial (the engine hadn't got up to full temp in the 50 mile drive anyway). I was surprised to see it drop so quickly. Is this normal in cold temperatures? Is a radiator muff the answer...
