Can someone explain how this whole EVAP/purge system works - my car (4.6 96my) does seem to have excessive pressure in the fuel tank - every fill up means I get a blow-back over clothing. I can't keep letting my wife fill up the car and get soaked with fuel (the price is ridiculous after all) so...

My 4.6 is currently in the garage getting a new air temp sensor fitted. I got a call from them this morning asking if my car 'always started that way' by which they mean that when I unlocklock it on the remote and get in, I always have to press the right button on the remote to get it started...

Posted yesterday, still no progress, except to eliminate a couple of things. 4.6 - engine cranks, occasionally fires for a few seconds (it seems the slightest touch of the throttle to keep it alive, kills it instead), then dies and cranks until battery dies. Checked fuel rail - good...

What was an issue with trouble hot starting (see post a few days ago), has now become a won't start at all issue. 4.6 petrol - with battery charged, engine spins and 'catches', toying with the throttle can get it going for a second or two but then it dies. On and on it goes until battery is...

After a few months of having to keep my 4.6 plugged into a charger overnight to ensure enough oooomph for starting in the morning, I have taken the (long overdue) plunge and bought a battery big enough and powerful enough to fire up a steam train. Rave tells me to turn the igntion to position...

Just started having problems starting from warm. Will start on the button from cold (if I remember to charge the battery each night), but yesterday it refused to fire up after a stop of only ten minutes. It turned over OK, seemed to be coming into life if I 'played' the throttle, but in the end...

Range Rover Evoque 2WD review - Telegraph

Just to please and appease all the tree huggers and eco-warriors my P38 has been transformed into an electric/petrol hybrid model, perhaps the first of it's kind. Each night I dutifully plug it into the mains electricity, this charges what I call a 'battery'. I use this device to drive a...

Getting mine shod in new Grabber At's tomorrow (255/55/18/109V). Any recommendations as to pressures would be most welcome.

Just had my airbags replaced and after only a short drive home I can honestly say that the car has been completely transformed. The ride in particular is much more forgiving, no harsh ride over potholes, but the most noticeable thing is how changing the bags has eliminated quite a few niggles...

Just been quoted £50+vat labour for fitting two new airbags (Dunlops bought from Island4x4 on fleabay for £120 the pair). Great price from my local indie - James Tennant in Okehampton Devon. Anyone else local needs bags done - now seems like a good time. It would have cost me more than...

Anyone had any experience of these tyres, I've been quoted £200 for 4 by my local tyre dealer who supplies a lot of farmers etc. My car only does around 3k a year. I found this link -http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Matador/MP-46-Hectorra-2.htm Reviews seem OK, but then don't they...

The last few mornings the rear has been down a few inches, particularly on the o/s. The car rises and rides perfectly afterwards, however, it must only be a matter of time before a bag or the compressor packs up. I intend to do the work before the weather turns really nasty and so I was...

New Land Rover Defender in pictures - Telegraph

My '96 4.6 has been suffering from intermittent water leaks into the air ducts and passenger's footwell. It being a sunny day I decided to strip it all out and find the problem. I hope the photos will help anyone else with the same problem who is contemplating a fix - First of all I removed...

Is it possible for the heater matrix to leak coolant into the air ducts. I ask because in the last couple of days, as soon as the engine gets to temperature and the heater starts to blow warm air, the car quickly mists up, predominantly on the N/S, and there is the distinct whiff of coolant in...

My 4.6 P38 is currently shod with 255 55 18's that are borderline, and so I thought to fit winter tyres that are appropriate to my circumstances. The car is used on the road only, will cover roughly 60 miles per week and will encounter the usual ice, frost and snow, though nothing too severe...

I've seen a fair bit of discussion in threads lately regarding tyres, various running pressures and the effect on handling so I thought i would start a thread where we could post the combinations used on our respective cars to provide some guidance and feedback. Car - '96 4.6 petrol Tyres -...
