Hi dogsbody, Thank you for that, I have had a look, but as you say mine is a bit more stone age than that one. At the moment I am looking at the Coolant Temperature Switch and the Thermotime Switch, I have found that the wire snap clip is missing from the second switch so it is not a perfect...

Hi. No its a fair question, I don't think it is fuel as I can rev it and it responds. If I let it go back to tick over it dies. Putting any pressure on the engine, steering or engaging gear causes it to stall/stop.

Hi all, is there a kind soul in the house who has come across a 1988 3.5 RR SE automatic.That starts great and runs evenly while it is getting warm. As soon as it does the tickover becomes erratic and the engine tries to stall. If I keep the revs on it will run for a short while and then dies...

Hi All, Is there a 3.5 specialist in the house. I have an 88 petrol Range Rover that has suddenly developed a vibration at low revs. It starts OK and once over about 1000 revs seems to run perfectly. If the engine is cold then the it feels as if there is nothing wrong. As the motor warms up in...

I have just dealt with the same problem. You can leave the dim dip unconnected or repair. Not being clever with a soldering iron I have purchased a replacement from ClassicLSE in Kent at £17.50 delivered. I am sure there are other RR breakers about who will supply. They will need to know the...
