Hi, I posted a question a few minutes ago, but it disappeared (similar to the usability of me RR). Anyhow, I also posted a question last week regarding my Range Rovers problem of the jumping Rev counter which I had previously been informed (twice) that this was defiantly an Alternator Failure. So I duly replaced the original twice with two new Alternators and no long term fix to the problem.
Anyhow, the car was taken to a local Auto Electrician last Friday (in Kiev) who advised that I had an earth fault on the Alarm system which had drained the battery. This was easily fixed by the guy. Then he said I needed two new lamber Sensors, which were also duly purchased and installed. He then advised that my two month old plugs need replacing due to the poor Air/Fuel mis from the bad Lamber Sensors. He also advised that my Ignition leads are very poor and should also be replaced. So the Leads and plugs were purchased from the Kiev Land rover dealer and the intention was to install them this morning. Unfortunately, one of my extremely helpful assistants decided to surprise me and change them for me on Friday evening so that I could go on a planned trip Saturday morning. I say unfortunately, because he managed to get it all wrong, so now I have two problems instead of one:
1. The first problem is probably the easiest to fix if someone can tell me the connection sequence to the Ignition Coils on a 2000 model 4.6 Ltr Vogue. This is a Bosch system with two Ignition Coil block at the back of the Engine with 4 connectors on each block (2 upper and 2 lower)
2. Second Problem is the Auto Electrician has told me that the fluctuating Rev Counter could be as a result of the poor leads or an earth fault somewhere??? Has anyone got any ideas of what could be causing this Rev Counter problem other than a faulty Alternator???
Thanks for any help with these problems
