Well here goes then!;) Typically rangeroverish, when a blower fan fails it goes full belt. I think it is sort of 'on all the time and is reduced by a controlling voltage'. (Is that right O Wise Ones?) Fortunately, and quite rightly, there is a separate fuse for each (ie driver's side and...

No apparently it just comes on when the head temp goes up a bit. It obviously is pretty effective in that it cools the rad, then goes off again. As I said, barely a flicker on the temp gauge. I'm not that carefree tho'! I must admit I do take care not to overdo it! I've been running like this...

I took the vicious fan off three years ago, with the thought that I would eventually replace it. Mine is 2001 DT and, as Datatek pointed out to me, has a temp sensor (I believe at the rear of the cylinder head) which brings the aircon fans on when it gets hot. So I was happily running around...

Sorry I stand corrected :oops: but you get my drift...;)

You've got to have Rave. Just not possible to do anything much without it. Links to downloads on here I think. My experience of the 'three amigos' coming on was an ABS sensor that had failed. And don't forget that you have to drive it before the ABS and TC lights will go out...

If that is just the battery cover then I've got one you can have. It's plastic tho' with a small metal strip for the battery connection. Is that the thing? PM me if you want it and I'll post it.

I think that explains it, I doubt the chains have been done since new. Otherwise it runs fine so I can live with it for now. Thanks for your help.

Is that the 'in tank' pump? Yup, that's working. If it wasn't ,would that not affect cold starting too? Spill off pipes all fine too... I was just interested to know why

'Morning All, 2001 DT. (When glow plugs are all working!) it starts 'on the button' from cold, but once its warmed up it always takes a bit more turning over before it fires up. Maybe twice as much as when cold. I've got a good strong battery and it is reliable and it always starts, so its not...

The auto shift that is.;) Seems to ease a little when everything is warmed up a bit. From D back through 3,2,1 is the worst. Going across into Low range is fine but the forward and backward movement is definitely stiffening up in either range. I've checked everything beneath the cover in the...

Thanks Keith. It was you recommended the batteries too...:) I've got a spare and need to charge it up

'Afternoon all, can anyone recommend a charger for calcium battery? should have output of 14.5/14.7v I believe. Its an Alphaline MF31/1000 calcium. 30A/1000CCA thanks

Its all a bit of a bodge. I removed the whole plastic ashtray surround etc. and cut it up. Cut and shaped a piece of wood to fit, drilled holes and fitted the bits with enough wire connected to reach across to the fusebox. The wood is then just sort of wedged in, " an interference fit". Good luck.

into (yet) another year?!

Happy New Year to you all. and the amusement too:)

Wiring is easy - through into front of centre console (access by removing window switch panel), then under the carpet, under the drivers seat to the internal fuse box. Take it from the main live but do put a fuse on it.

and unfortunately that includes LR main dealers:mad:. And because of the ridiculous hourly rate they charge they make the excuse that it is uneconomic. Previous owner of mine was told it was uneconomic to even diagnose what had gone wrong.:rolleyes:

Don't get stick for that. Plenty for being English and living in Scotland tho'!:)

It is on the list... but its a long list!;)

You also have to be prepared for all the abuse you'll get! I'm a black, one legged lesbian and I still get more stick for having coil springs!:D (and they were already on it when I got it!)
