What did you do with your Range Rover today

Bix · Aug 24, 2023

Thought I'd do a basic filters service. Been longer than I care to admit and kinda hoping it'd help with the cutting out at idle. It did not, thinking my refub FIP might be on the way out. Sad times. Really should have my own diag so I could check if it is the issue, but I've only had this car for 12 years, maybe next year. No one round here will touch a P38 and I don't have the tooling to try the job myself.

Had a mild disaster replacing the fuel filter, so went out with some Daz, because according to Google, Daz is great at soaking up diesel and I couldn't leave fuel allover the road.

The puppo felt neglected.

Someone put an inner tube in at some stage?

I can confirm no inner tube will add some more pics later, both fronts have worn random bits of tread blocks too
the real offending tyre it never looked that bad when i put it on as my spare,

I currently have 6 4.2 supercharged wheels and i was looking for a set of 5.0 supercharged wheels to get refurbished and my new tyres on but this kind of changed and hurried my plans

Not my cup of tea either

Mabye daylight will change my mind but iv not looked at it yet

,
Im personally not a lover of dark wheels on anything, i like fresh silver or even some that are a dark silver or the black and diamond cut but plain dark wheels don't excite me,
Part of what makes us all different though is it

I think hot hatch types carry it off well, red body black wheels etc etc

Getting old, I like standard silver on bigger stuff

kermit_rr · Aug 24, 2023

Standard alloys for me too, can't stand the black cult, it's awful.. black badges/lettering, black wheels, 'black chrome'(is that even a real thing!?), blacked out/heavily smoked windows on gloss black body. Nope! No siree, not for me, no way!!

stuu · Aug 24, 2023

I like my tints and dark badges,
Im further away from it today so its not quite so bad

stuu · Aug 24, 2023

So heres the known cracks on the inside of the offending tyre

And heres the fronts not even worn properly

kermit_rr · Aug 24, 2023

Not quite that bad but my bmw tyres went south in a similar fashion. Dark line where it looks like it's been driven flat, but it never had

Those landsails any good? Apart from the cracking

Seem very popular, might have to go cheaper cuz I want my wheels refurbed and trued up same time, prefer pirellis but about 250 a corner

Looking at nexen as well, they seemed ok on my audi

they were ok on the 320i estate
BUT, i'm not entirely sure. I think the stability control gremlins did a lot in the background, plus i'd get thru tyres in 10-12,000 miles

Very happy with Nexen Rodian extra load M&S on both my P38's

kermit_rr · Aug 24, 2023

These are on my 2A.. slightly older than the landsails

I'm leaning towards them, good to know

I can get 2 for the price of 1 pirelli scorpion m+s

Are they branded roadstone nowadays?

I believe they are. good tyres, the factory was set up by Michelin.

Had Falkens on the Jag for years with no issues. Maybe a tad tail happy in the wet but that's part of the fun.

Might be FIP timing. Also worth checking the lift pump is chucking out fuel as per Wammers post in the Technical Archive.
