Hi All, As title really - my TC locks up at 37mph. While this is no problem to me, reading online should it not be around 50mph? My car is a 4.6 V8 Cheers Chris

So another update for anyone interested... 600 miles later and still no change - Ive been trawling through old posts and realise ive added Lucas oil stabilizer to my f*ing gearbox not the Lucas transmission fix?! Ive ordered the corrtect stuff and will put it in next week, can anyone tell...

That's reassuring to hear thanks Will stick with it, how long should I give it before anether oil and filter change (500 miles)? Cheers again Chris

If I use kick down the revs will rise sharply (almost hit the limiter) and then it will slam into gear, before I had gearbox problems the kick down it would rev a bit, select a lower gear and then get going. 4th gear is always a bit of a problem, that the revs rise and it "drops" into gear -...

Quick update for all... Changed the oil, filter and added 1L of Lucas oil. While the early gear changes are now silky smooth, it still slips into 4th. If im gentle with the throttle, 4th gear change is hardly noticable. However, once in 4th and using kick down it will slip again into 3rd and...

Hi there! Why the sob? Just think how many extra miles you will get per gallon of fuel, than us petrol folk...

Hi All, After speaking with Landrover my rangie last visited main dealer in 2002 and had 3 pieces of work done, problem is they cant get any more detail than the service codes: WLA219 A489 A387 The rocker cover has "replacment unit" sticker on the top and I was desratate to find out when...

Thanks for the help, just a quick update It took 2.5L of oil to register halfway up the Min-Max level..... The car already seems much happier, but still has some hesitation when changing to 4th gear (previously said it was 3rd, which was wrong). Lucas oil and new filter should turn up...

Can I top up with fluid and drive around until lucas arrives, then change the whole lot?

Cheers wammers, don't mean to sound stupid (but I do)... What's lucks? Cheers again

Hi kevwill, I've always kept an eye on the level, but with the engine off... I've just read the level should be checked while engine is running?? When I do that, there is literally no oil registering on the dipstick!! Guess I'll be needing some of that then, do you know how much they hold...

Hi All, I have a 1997 4.6 V8 with 200,000k (rebuild engine but original gearbox) Recently been having slight vibration, mainly when pulling away uphill (light throttle) - figure this is likely to the the torque converter, does this sound about right? The main problem I have is, I reversed off...

Final mot emmision results are as follows... CO - 0.10% HC - 46PPM LAMBDA 1.01 Happy days :)

Quick update for anyone interested... Emmisions were a brilliant pass (after two new lambda sensors) Fresh mot after replacing two bushes in a radius arm - happy days!!!!

OK quick update for those who helped me out.. Proper diagnostic has found both lambda units are not working (providing a constant voltage). I've ordered two new hits (ngk) from motor factors, and will be installing them tomorrow! Should hopefully sort my high emmisions out....

Sensors have both been cleaned, and they were in tight. Doesn't seems to have much difference, infact having started it up, idle is a little worse than before? I guess there is nothing to say the lambda are not still at fault? If I can find out my multimeter, what's the test to check if...

There are two plugs the same size and shape at the front of engine, One is green and plugs into coolant hose (just I front of it) Second is a brown plug that's to the right (as you look from the front)? I've just looked at both lambda sensors and they are absolutely caked in carbon...

Hiya, I bought the car recently and am starting to get it ready for an MOT (October). Going to put the multi meter accross the Lambda units and see what readings I get... Thanks Chris
