Thanks AntS70,

My RR is a '98 2.5 DSE 168k with 15k on the rebuilt motor.

I plan to be travelling between Romania and Stockport so need to be as self-sufficient as possible. I have the EAS SW which works well. Is a full diag package available somewhere, at a reasonable price?

Re hot start, I will try Tiga's fix first as this sems to be logical, and post the results.

Faultmate. Costs about £575. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/pro-diagnostic-67191.html
Nice piece of kit to have if you can afford it.

Dear AntS70,
Thanks,
I am fortunate to have Land Ranger Services Stockport (0161 474 0101) who have sorted out the EAS fault etc. (just needed a reset)

The only other fault so far is with the right blend motor.
Great info on Landyzone etc but beyond me .. (the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak)

LRS-S will give the RR a service and good check over and let me know wether I have an apple or lemon.

If ok I will consider the Pro Diagnostic, (may need it for multi vehicles)

I appreciate the advantage of the timed hot start kit but will do some tests first.
