Gidday, Back again after quite a while, been trouble free for a couple of years. Most unusual, but now back to normal, "Will my wagon start today?" A few days ago after driving home, message on the radio, "vehicle fault, system shutting down" and it did. Next day it happened a couple more...

Gidday, I have a Discovery 2 and the dashboard, speedo, tacho etc stopped working the other day. I have checked all the fuses and basic stuff, but i am unable to find the cause. I have found a couple of wiring diagrams online, but the colours of the wires do not correspond with my wiring...

Gidday, back again for more help. Today i disconnected the battery so i could remove it and gain access to the EGR valve on the passenger side of my bus. New EGR fitted and all back together without too much hassle, BUT NOW I HAVE NO RADIO..... Can anybody throw any light my way? Please. Am...

Gidday, Trying to set up bluetooth connection in my 2008 RR Sport 2.7 TDV6 and not having much luck. If I look in the owners handbook I interpret it as though all RRs around that era have bluetooth, though i am not sure mine has. Can anybody throw any light on it? The stereo has a telephone...

So my P38 has been parked up for a couple of months whilst i organised some 2nd hand parts from the UK. Now back on the road i have a few other issues. First of all, on occasions it would be difficult to start. Normally it cranks for about 1 second and then fires up bit now occasionally i have...

Gidday, Had my 2008 Range Rover sport 2.7 Diesel for a couple of months now and its been a huge improvement on my old P38 Diesel, until last week. I noticed a couple of times what seemed like a flat spot when accelerating and it soon developed in to a serious lack of power. Eventually the...

Gidday, So whilst i am still trying to source parts for my P38 DSE, I decided to upgrade. I have bought a 2008 2.7 Diesel Range Rover Sport. I took the plunge and bought online at the other end of the country and was happy enough when i picked it up and drove it the 350km home but after...

Gidday, Back again with a new problem. Driving home the other day and the range started making a hell of a noise. I checked it out on the hoist and discovered a few bits and pieces in the bell housing. From what i can see it looks like the Flexy plate (drive plate) has given up the ghost. I have...

Gidday, back again as i have another issue with my not so trusty Rangey. I lent the Rangey to the missus as her car was in the panel beaters. Murphys law suggests that when you lend things to other people they break down so the phone call from my better half stating that the car won't start was...

Gidday all, Been having a few EAS problems lately. I've had a crack at fixing it but seem to have made it worse. A list of the events in order of occurrence follows. Compressor not switching an and off as it should, i.e. the EAS lights inside vehicle indicating suspension raising but no power...

I am looking at buying a 200TDI disco and swapping the diesel motor to my 2.5 petrol 110. The indicators are that the 200TDI may have a head gasket problem. Should i turn and walk away, or are the head gaskets a piece of cake to do. Are the cylinder heads known for cracking if so how much for a...

Gidday, New to this part of the website as i normally post in the Range rover section. However, i have a 110 flat deck 2.5 petrol and i have just bought a wrecked Disco 200TDI manual with the intention of swapping the motors over and convert my petrol 110 to diesel. Does anybody have any idea...

Gidday, I currently run a P38 diesel and have had a great run, (touch wood), but i now have an option of a 2007 V8 diesel Range rover with a blown (possibly hydraulicked) motor. Should i buy it? Are they a good bus? do they give lots of trouble? are the motors a costly overhaul? The engine is...

I know I'm not the only one who has put the wrong fuel in there wagon, but i maybe the only one to own up to it. Yesterday whilst daydreaming at the gas station i managed to pump 20 litres of petrol in to my diesel rangey. Oblivious, i drove off and 10km down the road wondered what was...

Gidday, I am on the hunt for a coolant temp sensor. Apparently mine is faulty, and causing the automatic transmission to do some weird gear shifts. I have made some enquiries and my sensor has only one wire to it whereas according to land rover agents the sensor has 2 contacts. I have...

Gidday Anybody have a link to a site that explains how to recon the valve body in words of two syllables or less? Thanks.

Gidday, I am looking at buying an eas control box and compressor 2nd hand from our native auction web site. the eas parts are from a 1990 RR and mine is a 98 RR. Will the parts be interchangeable? or did they change or supersede or something like that. cheers

Gidday, Back again with more P38 problems. I have had an ongoing problem with my automatic trans over the past few years (ever since i owned the beast), but it has been intermittent and not too much of a hassle. Over the last few weeks, the problem has become more apparent and i want it...

Gidday, back again for more help with my rangy. For the last couple of months, i have been getting the occasional "R/H DOOR NOT CLOSED" (or something along those lines) message on the dash. If i slam the door a couple of times, the message disappears and all is OK. The message is now...

Gidday, On the hunt for advice again. Every now and again my suspension faults and i have to hook up my BBS fault mate to clear the fault and then the suspension works fine for a couple of weeks. Today, my BBS failed to communicate with the vehicle communications interface, whatever the...
