Yes that was it, 4 completely shagged glow plugs and the other two were nothing to write home about either. Cheers Paul

It is an 850 cca big mutha, I am now changing all the glowplugs, will keep you posted although I bet it's the fuel pump!!. I have changed the leak off pipes aswell. Regards Paul

By the way the glow light does come on the dash

Ok thanks for the replies, Is it sraight forward to locate and test the glowplugs?, I am a bit of a nonce when it comes to things like this. It has had a brand new battery only a week ago. On first start after charging fully it sounds as if it wants to start, then every attempt after it seems to...

Me again!!, Now I have the battery drain sorted (disconnecting RF) I now have a cold start problem, the engine sounds like it wants to start but won't in the mornings (diesel) however after the day has warmed up a bit early afternoon she will fire up!!, is this a glow plug job or fuel pump...

I'm not sure how the person got on who posted about disconnecting the three wire plug from the rf antenna box but to my Rangee is just disables the engine each time and asks "press the remote" to which nothing happens!!, I have unplugged the one wire connection now see how that goes. Cheers Paul

Weird I can never remember it doing that but mine is every second. I had to reconnect the rf antenna just now to "enable" the engine. Honestly who would want to nick one of these you would only have it an hour and something would go wrong!!. Can I check for battery drain with a multimeter or...

Hi, I have had a battery drain problem (see past post) and have followed some of the info on the other threads ie disconnect the RF Antenna, but I am sure the red Led on the dash is flashing more frequently than normal?. Does this mean anything? and what would be the normal interval between...

Well i'm glad I have got you guys together for a chat, I might aswell have opened a pub rather than a thread!!. Come on you buggers any other ideas (it has a brand new battery) Cheers Paul

Hi, Just wondered if anyone has had the same problem as me. Just as It has started getting cold (in NZ) I have noticed the car has taken a good three times to start which I have had before. But the next thing was a battery drain and I have noticed that my red LED for the alarm system seems to...

Finally gave up with the computer system on the EAS. The only leak (tiny) I could find was where the two blocks meet up ie where the Pressure switch is. I think my block had warped and wouldn't meet up properly. I stripped the block out, ditched the compressor, and gave a quick salute for the...

Ok thanks, I may try taking the block apart again and checking. The only think I didn't do was use loctight on the blocks?????. I am getting air out of the compressor but I am not sure if it is producing enough?. Those seals were a pain in the rectum. Would the air escaping be visible? (with...

Hi Guys, me again. The good old EAS now!!. I had a problem with slow rise about two months ago and after numerous checks it seemed to be the compressor seal which I replaced and it worked fine. I now have exactly the same symptoms but have checked the compressor seal and it seems fine. I have...

Quite a while ago now I had the old notebook symbol come up on the old 98 Rangee and after taking it in to a guy I know for a standard service and mentioning that the A/C wasn't working he suggested re-gassing the system, which we did and sure enough the notebook dissapeared and the A/C was...

Get yourself an OBD2 lead with an open end and a serial rs232 plug, a multimeter, and soldering iron + solder and follow instructions on this site Range Rover EAS Reset Tools A quick donation and download of Storey's fault reset program and she'll be sorted, and it won't cost alot.:cool...

Ok Dizzy old bean, start the car and leave the bonnet and driver door open, go round to the compressor compartment and feel the top you should feel it vibrating/running?. take the lid off, now after a relatively short time the system should be fully pressured and you should hear the compressor...

Yes!!!! I took the compressor to bits today to find the old piston seal had almost completely worn away!!!, I replaced it with a new one and she is running sweet now. Thanks for all your advice:high5:

Pretty certain now that it's the compressor seal, done all the checks on everything else. I just ordered one from Rover Renovations so fingers crossed!!.:cool:

It definately doesn't work on 98 diesel p38's I can absolutely assure you!!!!!!. It may possibly work on petrols although I doubt it

Hi guys m again!:( Recently bought an OBD2 lead after some advice from a few guys, just I am having problems with connecting. I got the ELM327 unit V1.2a. It's just that evry time I connect it goes through restting the interface etc but when it comes to "Detecting OBD protocol) it fails and...
