the paperwork is no guarantee that the jobs done well , my car had a single point system when i bought it fitted by a very well know v8 tuning company , complete with paperwork !!!!!! and if thats a typical example of their workmanship i would`nt let them loose on a wheelbarrow :mad: . anyway...

no mate the sensor at the front of the motor is the cam sensor , the cps is on the l/h side of the engine ( opposite side to starter ) and about maybe the same level as the starter , you should be able to see / feel the wire running down to it . rick.

:D the old petrol v diesel chestnut again , as timov said the new tdv8 is the only diesel engine landrover have ever produced thats been worthy of the rangerover badge all the others have been as flat as a plate of p*ss . ive owned a couple of diesel rangerovers but , these where late classics...

i sold my lse which was in a bloody sight better order than that piece of sh*t and with an lpg conversion , and factory fitted brooklands kit , leather interior as the lse should be for just over half the price that guy is looking for , i hope it stays fine for him :D :D :D . rick.

hi mate if you jack up the front and as irish says give it a good wipe down all around the switch , have a decent handlamp or torch and you should be able to see if its the oil switch at fault especially if you warm up the motor first . rick.

i totally agree with wills on this and tbh i would be thinking about getting a decent independant specialist to diagnose the problem , blowing out the system :confused: :confused: :confused: the system has an air dryer / filter to do just that . keep it on air mate as wills says its the best...

enough said and hits the nail on the head mate its the same with almost all vehicle manufacturers most items are bought in . rick.

my money is on the oil switch over the years i`ve seen loads fail , rangeing from slight to heaving out , easy enough to check though . rick.

i get about 140 miles to 55 ltrs of lpg , but mine needs setting up i know that its running a bit on the rich side on lpg , the display says its doing 21.6 average mpg :confused: . rick.

thanks mate i reckon your right as well , good job i have a spare :) , there also seems to be a whistle coming from the alternator as well . rick.

topping up or refilling either front or rear diff , or the transfer box for that matter is dead easy . if your certain this is where the fault lies , i would be tempted to drop the oil from each unit in turn and first of all check to see if there are any silvery / metallic particals in them ...

hi all , ive seen a post on here some place about this but buggered if i can find it . i fitted a replacement engine in my 1997 4.6 hse complete with all ancillaries and the only fault now is the dash lights and headlights tend to flicker whilst the engine is running , it didnt do it before and...

hiya mark , ive seen some place advertising propshafts with a cv joint at each end as opposed to a u/j these will work better at steeper angle than a standard prop , trouble is i cant remember who was selling them or the cost involved , im sure one of the guys on here will know though . a 2"...

hi the mazda 3.5 sldt is a good conversion if done properly , i did it a few years ago with my 93 vogue se and it performed brilliant , the car was in mint condition with everything working i.e cruise control , air con , rev counter the lot as it should be , i sold it about 3 yrs ago on ebay and...

well am back on the road with the rangerover , new s/h engine installed and wow , i can`t believe how responsive it is compared to the old unit , she`s whisper quiet , and after doing around a 100 miles or so with it last night it performed faultlessly. whilst i had the engine out i decided to...

when this message came up on my display after removing the battery to charge it , i left it for an hour , unlocked the car with the remote , stuck the key in the ignition and hey presto .............job done . rick.

one thing i dont think anyone has suggested is stick the transmission in 1st or reverse then put a socket one the crank pully to turn the motor as you try to line it all up . rick,

problem solved , number 1 is on the r/h side looking from the front , not the left as i origanally thought :mad: :mad: :mad: . it had been a long day though ( well thats my excuse ) :) :) rick.

thanks for the reply , i guessed that may be the case ! the engine came from a later model but is still a gems engine , as i said i went of the numbers stamped on the coil mounting bracket which were both identical on both engines so i assumed this would be correct :confused: . rick.

hiya the leads your talking about are called magnacor leads , you can do a search on ebay for them and get them at resonable money , the chip how ever you wont need , well mine does`nt anyway if its a multipoint system and its set up properly it should run fine without the need of a chip...
