Don’t expect a reply, the OP hasn’t been seen since Aug 2017. I’ll have to look out for that book 😊

Yes there is an easy fix. Stated in the workshop manual the is idle speed is 673 to 728 rpm at normal running temp. The idle adjustment is on the throttle side, you may find a anti tamper plug fitted. Perhaps check at the mixture the same time You may find a Haynes Workshop manual handy as it’s...

For the classic RR, PRC7475 up to Vin GA414221 & from Vin GA412223 PRC3818. Nothing shown for the HA Vin in my 724 parts book 😊 Only one number for the 3.9 VA Vin disco PRC9409

Depending on where you are in the world, and if the head unit is the factory fitted one, u could pop into your friendly LR main dealer and ask if they could could find the code on their vehicles build data base, u may be lucky. Much easer to remove the unit and take it to a repair shop…if they...

Interesting when there is a bleed screw available

My RRc knowledge only goes up to the 1992MY but I believe that all 1990s classic models had the same ABS system so with your abs system you will find additional bleed screws at the accumulator and and the hydraulic booster, both next to the abs unit the system is bled in a “very strict...

Have look at the link which is for a disco, LR Discovery electrical manual 3.9 efi, there isn’t a relay involved with the ignition coil… the feed is from the ignition switch to the coil, via the immobiliser if fitted...

The best of luck with that.😊 The D1 fitted with steel springs was pretty hard even when when it left the factory. The early RR is/was a “softer, floater ride” so u can try fitting springs with the same spec for that vehicle, but you will have fit a self- levelling system like the Borge strut...

Ok now that clear 👍 it appears that the ignition load relay is isn’t operating correctly when the ignition switch is in position 2. So iffy relay due to no 12v supply, or burnt relay contacts not closing if the relay is operating. Swap the relay with the one next door, or any of the yellow...

My quick search shows me two versions of electrical manuals, 5th and 7th edition for the D1, and apparently the same. https://www.fuddymuckers.co.uk/rtfm/Discovery/D1/Discovery_1_LRL-0077-ENX-5-1998-04_Electrical_Troubleshooting_Manual_5th_Edition.pdf...

Wasn’t you bridging a relay supply to the coil directly and running the fan, therefore bypassing the operating switch circuit? D1 Windows have an electronic control unit ECU for four windows to control and interfaced with other bits and bobs if fitted to the vehicle, so has three fused feeds to...

Ok by now you have the blower relay confusingly called ignition load relay, and hopefully you have now found the front wiper relay. The mirrors don't have a relay and the electric windows has only an ECU. As far as a “short” in electrical terms that means a fuse has blown, if fitted and if not...

Seems a bit involved 😊

Could an early RR or disco1 key or later models with the security fob attached on the same key ring for remote central locking. If you think its a land rover key a main dealer service dept would confirm it is.

Your assumption is okay, as DVLA say that when a private plate is removed the vehicle will be given a age related plate.
