Please don't get any erotic ideas, I'm 18½ stone and heavily bearded! That aside I bought my first Range Rover a 2000 dhse about a year ago and to be honest i love it to bits. I have previously owned a 2003 ML 400 CDI, so I do honestly understand the comments about lack of power and the unfortunate trait for the auto box to hunt through the gears on part throttle, especially when climbing. But my wife appreciates the security of the countryside passing at normal speeds (yes as opposed to the the 400) and servicing is proving to be both in expensive and achievable by a relative novice,
I do have 1 small concern at the moment though. I have the standard problem with the pump in the fuel tank requiring keeping the tank above ¼ full, but I have also noted that I have an oscillation in the engine note above about 2500 revs. I am assuming that it is probably related to peak power and is in all gears. It is noticeable in the engine note but the rev counter is stable.
Would it be related to the fuel pump problem or it it a harbinger of something darker. I appreciate your thoughts. The Viking
