After all the stress of everything my RR is finally fixed and runs beautifully. Just wanted to say a big thanks to all the people who offered advice and help, without this i would still be looking at my engine wondering where to start:rolly:

The switch is just by the starter motor on my RR 4.0, it goes into the block and has a multiplug that goes into it.

In my ongoing RR saga I need to change the car battery as I noticed that whoever changed it last only put a 65amp one in and I beleive it needs to be at least 110amp. Anyway, what i would like to know is when I change it what am I likely to lose? I know I will have to reset all the...

Hi, I have removed my starter off my RR 4.0, am I right in thinking that to test it you can connect a pair of jump leads from a car battery to the corrosponding + & - on the solenoid? If this is right then the starter is completely dead, doesnt turn or spin. Is this more likely to be a faulty...

Hi, just to add to the other long list of problems I have with my RR I alos have a starting issue. When I turn the key the car turns over very slowly, and sometimes starts and sometimes doesnt. First of all I put this down to a duff battery but after changing the batt it still does the same...

Just wondering if anyones used any of these products, and if people would recommend one rather than the other? My situation is after an overheating problem, new pump, rad, stat, headgasket it still overheats; so my only viable option is to scrap it, but someone mentioned trying one of these...

Does anyone know anywhere that sells a DIY sniff test kit? I know its proberbly best to take it to a garage to be done but unfortunatley I cant get 5 miles down the road before overheating..... so just wondered if anyone had heard of a home kit?:confused: Cheers

Hi, am I right in thinking that I can diagnoise a possible faulty heater matrix by joining the inlet and outlet pipe; completely by-passing the matrix? If anyone has done this before could you please let me know what you used to join the 2 pipes i.e the thickness of joiner used etc... Many...

Ive changed the stat today and its not made the slightest bit of difference. I did notice that all the pipes where hot apart from the pipe between the heads to the top right hand corner of the radiator which was very warm at the end nearest the heads, and cold at the radiator end. I filled the...

Having removed the right hand head today I have uploaded some photos of the head, gasket and block - just wondered if someone could give me their thoughts on the condition of them. The head gasket isnt broken and looked like new! Many thanks in advance!

I am in the process of removing my heads, and when I removed my air box I found this switch/gauge/sensor underneath it - still plugged in - but the sensor end wasnt actually attached to anything.:eek: Could someone please tell me what it is, and also where it belongs? Many thanks

Hi I am just looking for a little bit of advice on a problem I'm having with my RR 4.0. A few days ago one of my top hoses blew whilst travelling along, the engine did overheat slightly but the red light didnt come on before I got chance to pull over. I took it to my local Land Rover dealer...
