    Range Rover 4.6 HSE Overheating

    Welcome to LZ. You might be better posting in the RR forum down below. One thing to check though, when refilling the coolant you must disconnect the hose from the top of the radiator to the expansion tank, blow through it to clear it, fill with coolant until it comes out of the top of the rad...

    Help on defender 90 shock absorbers

    If yer doin comp safari or going on a long expedition like across africa, dual dampers are a must as you'll end up goosing yer dampers somewhere along the way, but with dual dampers you reduce the risk. If you want some HD springs, I know of a full set of +2" Blues that have been used for 18...

    AirFlow Meter. Depending on type, it basically measures how much air is going through the throttle body so the ECU knows how much fuel to squirt amongst other things.

    Key Barrels

    Depends what the rest of your doors are like when you take the cards off. I've got a complete set of 3 barrels, but the doors are that goosed and everything that seized up I've decided to fit a set of new doors and fit the new locks to those. Grunt says they're repairable as they're in a...

    Key Barrels

    You'll need a large-ish drill to put an extra hole in the door frame behind the door card in order to undo the screw that holds the door handle on at the button/lock end of the handle.

    Scam or not?

    FFs, the EU has removed the Sulphur from road fuel so that is a load of cobblers, and this little gem has just had me in stitches. PowerPill raises the octane / cetane number of the fuel without compromising the original specification of the fuel So it raises Octane AND Cetane numbers...

    What is this for on my Disco??

    Or in hot weather when travelling at high speed with windows down they can sometimes not locate properly when winding up. Used to happen all the time in my Vectra, press the up button gets nearly to the top, hits door fram and automatically goes down again due to the anti-trap safety feature.

    Frickley 4x4 centre is good - been there a couple of times and know one of the chaps that run it through work. Some nasty rocky stuff that will rip your exhaust off and bend your steering geometry should be avoided.

    I would take the ABS sensors out of each wheel, blow them clean with airgun (or bicycle pump if you aint got an airline) and pop them back in. Just done that on my RRC, but didn't last long as me front disks are warped :(

    To LPG or not to LPg

    I have the RPi single point system fitted to mine, and although not as economical as a multipoint, it is fine. It was installed and certified by RPi along with an Optimax ECU chip (runs better on petrol as well), 50kV dual fuel ignition amplifier and a few other bits. Mine is also de-cat with...

    unusual overheat 4.6

    I think it's the hot weather is starting to catch up with components on their last legs. I've just ordered new viscous fan for mine as I discovered it wasn't working properly on Sunday when it nearly overheated twice, and replacing the thermostat at the same time as a precaution.
