What did you do with your Range Rover today

Massive squealing from the belts last night, sounded more than just belt slip as didn't seem load dependant

Need to figure out how to get the plastics off the top of the fan to gain access

kermit_rr · Dec 27, 2022

Blimey that's hard work! Big fat intercooler? hose needs to come off at least, but there also seems to be a thin coolant? hose in the way, means i can't get my socket on to release the tension and get the belt off. I refuse to drain the coolant to check a belt

Christmas Day + Boxing Day: 260+ miles to visit daughter for Christmas in Broadstairs.
Decided to fill with Shell 95 octane E10 as apparently this is fine for my '97 4.0SE, although I have only ever used Shell V+ in the past.
Ran beautifully both ways, 20 mpg even with the usual 4-mile crawling delays at M25 Dartford and M11 Stansted.
Parked outside in a torrential shower, but no internal leakage at all.
Only disaster: the passenger heated seat seems ineffective - lady wife not impressed.

Started the scrapper. Hasn't run since the summer but stright into life (near enough) and running as well as the diesel ecer sounds. Bit of a condensation issue inside though!

Otto is also a 4.0 SE of the same vintage and we've had no problems (fuel related at least) in 2,000 odd miles on E10.

Warm your hands and offer your services

kermit_rr · Dec 28, 2022

The seats do take quite a while to reach mildly warm. If you're used to modern heated seats and it wasn't Baltic cold then you might not have noticed it's working

Still say warm hands are better and more fun

Noticed the alternator is running at a steady 15 volts! Is that right? Also, is l322 one that needs telling is got a new battery? If so and it's not been done... Hmm

Never told mine, unless it's a year thing?

Possibly.
But we have the function in the GAP tool. And it had been done before as it knew it was battery 3 going on.
I did suggest once that (think) a D3 needed it but apparently it didnt so possibly year related.
