Hi all Last week I created a post regarding my car being driven for a long time, then going into limp mode. The car was stuck in 3rd and I just about got it home. I assumed it must be a gearbox issue. I'd noticed the engine had been smelling of burning oil recently and read on this forum that...

oh

Is it the James who run's this company? http://www.rangerover-gearboxes.co.uk/

Did you get the right James Martin? That link shows a user who has not posted

So I took it in and the guy reckons the gearbox has gone... Im not sure if he totally knows what he's talking about. But suffice to say, if it had, any recommendations for people who can pull out and fit a recon one? Also, another new problem has come up, its hard to start when warm. You hear...

It was weird, first it was a whistle, then a whine noise. In my head I thought Vanos... but who knows. I've just taken it in to the garage, going to get them to give it a look over. Told them to do the Trans fluid and filter as par of course and investigate the oil cooler and Rad.

Thanks for the long, informative response. I've got the BMW V8. I drove it for about 15 miles in that mode. It was also giving off a weird whistling sound too. :( any thoughts on that?

Hi all, I've noticed recently there is a strange burning smell when I get out of the car more recently another electrical smell. I didn't think too much of it but today after a fair amount of slow driving the car wouldn't change into 4th. No dash messages/error codes. I tried to change manually...

Hi all My fuel gauge is all over the shop. I can't trust it. The yellow light came on, then it went to half way then low. now it give the impression it's matching new fuel put it but drops. Reading up on this it seems like the senders in the fuel tank could be broken. (The fuel pump was...

Any sensible ideas?

lol I don't reckon. Maybe the rocker seals need changing

Hi all I've some strange milky fluid on the floor of my drive way. Any ideas? See pic https://s30.postimg.org/lqjnwn001/IMG_5086.jpg

Hi all, My 2002 L322 driver's seat is a little bit saggy. Also the side seat cushion valance (the plastic that holds the seat adjustment buttons) has cracked. Has anyone replaced these two items before. Any pictures etc? Cheers

Hi all, Someone told me a sensible preventative step to make would be to replace all coolant hoses and radiator/water pump. I'm trying to get a list of part numbers together to price the batch up. I have the Workshop manual and it shows many more hoses that available to buy on such sites as...

Not Kerbed it. Air Pressure was 37 (all round - that bad?) Leaving Saturday, first thing. lol, yeah i aim. I have a N/S Front strut arriving Saturday. Hoping I can call around and sort someone out with a nice bit of wedge to swap it over. How long does it take to pull off and put on again?

Yeah, I think the car being in a weird position with the O/S being replaced may have cause the N/S bag to go. it's going VERY slowly mind, so not a big leak. Would that have impact on the car tracking? enough to make it veer to the left or do you think it's an unrelated brake issue?

AS you know I had my FR Air strut replaced. (should of done a pair, i know. Live/learn etc). Car seemed to be driving ok. Just went out to collect a takeaway and noticed the car is pulling to the left slightly under normal driving conditions and pulls a fair bit under breaking. Any ideas?

I just took it out and now, it's veering to the left and when I brake more so. I noticed on my drive a small leak of some sorts. Could this be brake fluid?? FFS

Now I'm regretting only getting one bag done. After 2 days the car when down on the front left.!!! It go's back up when i start it but that would suggest the Left bag is gone too. I have to drive it to France on Saturday. I have a new Left front leg which I will take with me and maybe try and...

300 for the part, 80 to fit. It was just leaking from one strut. I didn't bother doing them both. Think i should have to be sure?
