Thank's DC

Yes it's a late 1989 3.5 EFI with some parts used from the 1990 build so it confuses LR parts when I say no it's not that one.

I think the last owner had a repair only if required approach, so regular services have not been carried out fully. Plenty of electrical faults when I first got it, most have now been sorted and I am down to this starting problem. Good idea to change the hoses, I think she is overdue for a bit of TLC and have the oil and filter ready as soon as this problem is sorted.

Cheers Fred

Sounds a bit like my 94 LSE. I ordered top & bottom hose and alternator belt from LR dealership and they gave me the wrong ones..."Oh it must be a 93 model then"

Also lots of electrical problems that I have worked my way through, now all electrics are working.....touch wood!!!!

Renewing the radius arm bushes at the moment and the off side was easy enough, but the near side is a bit of a swine as the bolts are seized into the bushes.....plan "B" will need to be brought into action......The big hammer

It's a love hate relationship with mine, when she runs we are all luvy dovey, but when she plays up it's big hammer time and I have to compose myself and then something comes over me and I have to do anything to fix her and get out there and drive.
I think she must give somesort of drug induced fumes or something

How true. Same thing here without the hate and big hammer. I feel only sad when the rig has trouble. This one has not had anything electrical (well the rear windshield wiper broke, mechanically, yet to be fixed) since the first week I bought it and got rid of all the electronic goblins she experienced.

There are some rust issues that need attention soon: a pillars, sills, front footwells - you know, the usual. The rear has been already taken care of.

Nothing like the other car we have. For it I experience pure hatred! It's always HAMMER-time for it - not any brain surgery tools like the RRC. The wife insists on having it. I'd rather have a Disco/Freelander than that goddamn Renault Laguna.

Hi Guy's

Sorry for the delay in updating you on the Classic.

Great Success .... Starts first time every time at present

Changed the Coolant sensor as you advised, just a few pounds from Landrover Service Dept. well worth the money to stop the frustration.

-*- Thank you all very much -*-

Regards Fred
