Saint lists all the part no. I used his guide to order everything. If you can run to it, for real peace of mind, change the rad as well. The bottom rows get clocgged and this is what fouls the oil cooler. Oh, and while you've got it all out, do the lower temp stat mod.

Have a look in the technical archive for Saints excellent how to. For what it costs change the thermostat and mounting at the same time and perhaps even consider the rad as well

The air suspension has its own dedicated pin in the obd socket. I would check there to begin with. From memory I think it's pin 12.

Nice write up again Saint. Found it really usefull this weekend. I did the rad at the same time and the 80 deg stat upgrade while I was in the area. I too had a wrestle with the oil cooler pipes eventually using your 15mm spanner trick coupled with the 32mm spanner for the viscous coupling to...

I would check your charging. Stick a voltmeter across the battery with the engine running, should read 14. 2 ish volts

Meditating after suffering my first gearbox cooling strategy episode.

Very nice work HC. This is one of those jobs that I like to think I could do, but in reality would end up paying someone else a bucket of cash.

Ive got these on my recent purchase, but really wanted the 20" Stormers.Anyone want a deal ? Please note - libary picture - not actual rims

Clicky linky thing here..... Td5 Auto. Good runner needs a little attention but overal a bargain.

The stat will throw a "activation map cooling" fault if you go for the non electric upgrade.

Didnt give me a chance to say " its the rear window switch" . Had exactly the same on mine this week. New rear switch sorted it right out.

I don't think such a thing exists.

Any talk of fitting spring will get you cast out. If bag 4 is duff then the whole car will lower to the level it sets when it leaks. I would start there. its really easy and cheap to plumb in a pressure gauge to the system so you can see how much air is in the tank. After the bag I would...

I havent checked the Rave for a write up on timing the VANOS, but Ive got a Bentley manual for an X5 that goes into terrific detail. Let me know if you want a lend HC.

Range Rover ownership requires a certain amount of disposable income and a enthusiastic approach to diy mechanics or a large amount of disposable income and a good garage. There will be problems. Petrol torque converter failure at 100k miles is almost a given, diesel gearboxs at 100k are almost...

Indeed, I've sent him a message this morning

4.4 , did think about holding out for a supercharged, but this one was just too damned attractive.

Had set my heart on geting my third P38 in the comming months, but was taken by surprise by a random search on Autotrader on Sunday. To cut a long story short, Monday this is outside my house.... Nicely done front end conversion and grills, supercharged rear lights, flappy paddle steering wheel...

Look for a maf reading of 22kg hr on tickover with all loads off. The o2 sensors should switch between 0v and .8 every second or so on idle when warm.

Looking at those screen shots, two things stand out. You've got an overheat on the pump, and the tank pressure is 120 psi rather than 150 to 160. All points to a weak pump and or leak somewhere. New piston rings are ok if the pimp bore is not worn or scored.
