Anyone local to Bradford that can recommend somewhere decent?? I've tried simmonites but they can't get me in till friday. That'll be two days lost wages cos i need the motor.

ok got it back. Looks like it might be the engine ecu cos he can't read it. He can get into the other systems he said but not the engine ecu. I have another engine ecu I bought, but if i can't get the code from the old one how do i sync the new one? I tried plugging the new ecu straight in but...

yeah thats where mine came out. Just under the carpet behind centre console. They didn't come with ps2's though did they? I presumed they would have come from the factory with a dvd player.

Dropped it off at 9am and not heard owt yet. No news is good news (so they say). I'm keeping my hopes up :)

Well the RR is off to the garage today to see if they can stop the overfuelling. Last chance saloon. I've only had it about three weeks and its been driven about 5 days out of that. The rest of the time its been sat waiting for parts or getting parts fit to it! So if its gonna cost too much...

My 98' 4.6 Ltd came with the factory fit dvd screens in the headrest. It has a ps2 under the passenger seat. When I got the RR none of it worked so my mate had a look cos he's good with electrics and ice n stuff. It turned out to be blown fuses and they fired up when we changed em. But when he...

Mine has coil springs. Was already converted, but I've never driven one with EAS so I can't compare. I do like the ride though and have no issues with having coils. I don't buy all this "insurance won't pay out" b*****ks either. If you have informed your insurer of the coil spring modification...

Now your laughing at the thought of that but it really does leave black sooty spots on the drive underneath the exhausts :) lol

Just found an old thread about this and it turned out to be the engine ecu at fault? Symptoms seemed identical to mine and after replacing everything like me, it seems the ecu wasn't sending the correct signal to the lambda sensors and messing up the fueling. I have a feeling its been running...

sorry should have said, its 1998 4.6 ltd. Poor thing looks like a diesel when you put your toe down :(

I got it plugged in and it came up with both front abs sensors ( I changed them and the light is still on). And it came up with an o2 sensor so I changed em both. Everything I've changed it needed, the only "guess" part was the MAF I replaced today and I was sort of hoping that might have...

Ok, just when I thought I had a light at the end of the tunnel......... When I rev the RR (4.6 petrol) I'm getting black smoke. The running is pretty rough and seems under powered. Seems a little hesitant to get off the mark aswell. Fuel consumption is very very bad. 6mpg according to the...

well not exactly complaining, but if i need to keep getting the codes read it still adds up. My own reader won't connect with the RR.

Hi, anyone in the Bradford area with a code reader? Mine won't work on the RR. I went and had the codes read (£30!) and an o2 sensor was kaput and both front abs sensors. I fitted both abs sensors yesterday and now the TC light has gone out but the ABS light is still on, so could do with...

Funnily enough I do have spring coils on mine.....I didn't put em on though. It had already been done :) I can't comment on whether they are better having never driven a RR with air springs. Gotta be much more reliable though :D:behindsofa:

there's loads broken on it. Its sat in my drive unmoved for the past few days while I'm waiting for parts. The problem is there are so many answers on the forum I still don't need to post!! :)

I'm just complaining at this forum being a little too good. I'm wanting to get involved in the RR community but all my problems so far have had plenty of answers all acquired by a little searching. Therefore I'm finding it very difficult to find any reason for posting anything :( Maybe there...

looks like its the plug that differs? But if everything else is the same surely it makes sense to get the cheaper one and just splice it to the old connector??

Ok here's an update. Engine flush, oil change, oil filter change, air filter change all done. New plugs and leads. Now need two front abs sensors. One side has had a new sensor fitted but its still coming up as faulty. And I need two lambda sensors. Everywhere I look for the lambda sensors...

oh and I'm suspecting a manifold leak aswell from the strong fumes coming off the engine!! And I changed all the plugs and leads aswell today and the old plugs were so sooty I could have drawn a picture with em!! So it also looks like its running too rich.......don't know what to do about that...
