Thanks, are all the gear change speeds different, or just the lockup speed. The lockup speed is what I want to get down to around 45mph.:brick:

Hi guys, happy new year, & when your headache has cleared I would welcome some advice. I live in S/W France, local motoring is conducted at less than 50mph (80kph),. I have a 300tdi classic 4hp22 auto box. Top gear lockup is at 85kph so most of the time is in 3rd gear. Now for the tech bit, can...

Thanks for that, I will examine the 2 diffs I have & the 4 swivel hub ends & use the best to build onto the 98 disco 300 axle, 2 new discs & use the calipers already fitted as they are the abs type & for vented discs. I'm not sure if each axle has a unique Nr or if they were type Nr's. And did...

I've confused myself with differing axle numbers which don't conform to suppliers. Time for a pint.

The range rover classic is under the driver seat, try there or passenger seat because mine is a LHD.

Hi guys, my 1994 soft dash rrc 300tdi LHD with ABS. the front axle has been changed to non abs but still with vented discs. A second axle came with it with the Nr stamped 53L02953B, it has abs hubs. I can't find any reference regarding this number as according to info I have found so far the Nr...

Thanks for all the replies, accumulator changed, along with pads front & rear & changed some of the rusty pistons too, bleeding......bit of a pain but all spot on now. I'll just move onto the next thing which needs sorting now...no abs on the front axle as someone has changed it !!!

Thanks to all the replies, I'm thinking it is possibly the pressure vessel, I waited till the pump eventually stopped, applied brake & 2nd press on the pedal it started the pump, ran for about a minute before it stopped. Will try the pressure switch first as that looks the easiest & cheapest.

Hi guys, just returned from town & the abs pump will not stop running. I have unplugged the power plug to it, the pump was quite hot. RRC 1994, any advice would be most welcome. Genral mechanice are no problem for me but I have not come across one of these pump type systems before. I really must...

I thought it might be a total strip of all those rads, do you know if it's possible to leave the air con connected & remove the rest. Had these beasts for years but never a diesel or auto, this is both. Cheers.

Has anyone changed the timing belt in situ in a RRC auto & air con, so plenty of rads in the way. I wondered how much I have to remove, or more to the point, how little I can get away with removing from the front of the vehicle to change the timing belt, any sugestions gratefuly recieved, thanks.

Hi, has anyone changed a cam belt on a 300tdi in a RRC 1994 with air con? What I would like to know is how much (or how little) of the front end & multiple rads I can get away without removing, also has auto box. The longer I look at it the more I seem to have to remove, just not sure how much...

I've just done my head gasget on an engine which, according to the reciepts i got with it, has done just over 150000 km, the engine had got hot due to a heater hose split, you can still see the honing marks in the bores, so 150000 miles is not that much more. I bought the RR as a non runner but...

I've just bought the most reliable range rover. It was already broke when I bought it so it can only improve. If you don't have a vast array of spanners & or lifting equipment & or mechanical knowledge, welding ability, techno electronic wizardry degree, **** loads of patience, a second car...

Are you sure it aint the air con pump?

Well I got it all back together & seems to be fine, ran it in the w/shop for 1/2 an hour then a spin round the block, temp mid way on the guage & no leaks:D. I wish I had put No4 injector in before I put the head on, had to take a big adjuster to the bodywork to get it in, then removed the air...

Hi, we are in the Poitau Charente region in the south of the Vienne, mid way between Poitiers & Angouleme, 50km to each. Great place to be, very rural, almost no crime, no screaming sirens, no traffic except for tractors. Household running costs here are cheaper than UK, rates etc, renovation is...

Thanks, I think..just about sums up what I was thinking, going to plod on & finish putting it all back together & see what happens. If it runs for another few months till spring would be good.

Hi folks, just a brief intro, hi to all. I had range rovers for over 20 years until about 15 years ago, all V8's & stick shift. Now living in France for 10 years & just got hold of a 1994 300tdi auto with head gasget blown. Car has 450000 km on the clock & service history since it was born, 3...
