Hi folks, long time no speak. I have the last of the non car rangies with horizontal shoes and old type adjuster. Anyway, rangie parked up for a year with handbrake off. The shoes will not engage and I've taken the prop off and the drum. Any tips fro releasing the expander? Adjuster works fine...

After finishing my engineering exams and stuff I went to start the classic up after she was sitting for six months. I fitted a new battery and there was just a click and a clunk. The starter wires were roasting hot after trying a few times so I assumed the starter. I fitted the spare starter and...

Hi folks, I was doing me bearing at the rear as I had an oil leak at one of the hubs and so replaced seals as well. It turns out my stub axle had no inner seal as so I went to order some. The correct part is FTC951, but this has been superseded by FTC3145 which simply does not fit as it is...

1992 3.9 auto My RR wasn't starting and I found the problem was the two pin to three pin adapter....it disintegrated and fell off due to its poor quality. I've rigged up my own wires but I need to know which one goes where. Looking at the RR from the front, is the white wire to the back of the...

As the title, I need to reset the timing to get it to start - every time. It will start and run fine, but I go to start it in a couple of days and it just cranks. Once I redo the timing, then bingo. Is this my timing chain? It was very slack, I'm just looking for ideas before I go ahead and do...

I dropped the sump today and noticed that there are scuffs on each side the cylinder caps. I'm assuming this is the source of the sound. I seem to have good oil pressure and the compression test, dry and wet provided excellent results. There was bugger all metal in the oil in the pan. Is this...

Okay, so I have this sound and I think it may be the bottom end and I read some of the threads. The engine only has 86,000 on the clock, so could it be summit else? I don't want to run the engine too much, but the pressure light never comes on and the sound stays after warm up. If it is indeed...

Hi, I had to fit a new wiper motor and fitted the rack that came with it, although it has a differe net spindly bit. My RR has the thin, pointy spindle and I need to know what this one is so I can order up new arms n blades.

Hi, I've been doing the ECU loom tests as per the factory manual. I'm getting very low voltages on some of the back probe tests and no resistance on a couple of tests. The ECU was tested as okay. Everything seems to lead towards the fusible links as my last hope of getting her going again...

Hi, I was replacing my coolant temp sensor and it's one of the ones with the plastic body. Anyway, I can't remove it as the plastic just keeps turning and the brass does not. Is there any bodges to get it free? :)

As title guys where should it be? I need to see if I have fuel at the rail and thought this would be easiest. Thanks dudes.

Hi folks, Does anyone know if it's possible to wire in the later type of motor into the older type? If so which wire goes where as the plug is different and the colours different. I bought what I thought was a conversion lead, but isn't. The earlier type seems to have a white plug and the...

After removing my bonkers immobiliser, I'm reconnecting the wires and need a wee swatch of advice. Following the wires running down from the ignition switch I have: Brown----battery I assume White n Red----starter? Orange and white---ignition, fusible link? Fat white--- assume load relay and...

Hi folks. My 92 Rangie flew through the MOT yesterday, so that's the good news. Anyhoo, I have lurch on take up in drive or reverse. I've been reading up on the threads concerning this and just wish no know if I've missed anything. -check wee hatch on transfer box looking for worn pin thingy...

Hi folks. Just looking for a little conformation here and to make sure I don't forget anything else. When I turn to the right whilst moving there is a knocking sound from the front and I can feel a knock coming through the pedals. Would this indeed be the Cv? I'll check fluids as well and...

Hi all. Just a quick question about the mating of the stub axle face and the swivel housing. It took an age to separate the gasket and sealant, on putting it back on after a swivel ball change there seems to be a bit of a gap (about 1mm) between them. Will this be taken up by the gasket and...

Hi guys, girls and in-betweens. I suppose I better get around to replacing these. Would I be correct in saying I need three RH threads and one LH? Or is there some silly engineering that means otherwise? it's a very common problem, but can take a wee while to pin it down. Thanks.

Hi geezers, I wish to replace my dizzy and came away a little confused. The dizzy that came out is a 35DLM8 version with the 2 pin amplifier. Weird thing is, my engine is a a 36D number. So which do I buy? I can use a converter cable I believe for the wiring, but which dizzy is for me? 3.9...

Hi I just wanted to know what the damper is for on the RRC and the Disco. It's the bit below the swivel housing. Photo below.

Hi folks, I hope your cockles are warm. I have slight knock coming through the steering wheel when I go over bumpy bits of road. It's not serious, but I just wondered how much play there should be in the lower link. RAVE says "excessive play" means replace the link. Anyway how much is...
