    HELP its all goin t*ts up,new airbag

    Plenty of decent penetrating fluid matey. Not WD40 but a proper removal fluid. It takes some patience but eventually it gives and moves. I clamped onto the main pin that goes through the bag base and just kept soking it and wiggling it. Took about 45 minutes but it sorted. Why not soak it and...

    Centre Console removal & Sunroof set.

    When I removed mine the screws were at the bottom towards the rear (I think and move seat fully back). Then it was a wiggle about and the clips released. I think there's a screw at the front also behind the lower dash panel. As for setting the sunroof. I opened mine fully, closed it. Then...

    no sport/manual light or low range

    Before you go down that route (I think you need to cross ref numbers as well) have you checked to see you have power? I would check to see all fuses / relays etc are working 1st

    P38 DSE after engine change woes

    Well I've downloaded Rave. On going through the circuit diagram I'm of the opinion it's either the ECU, BECM or earth somewhere. When I get chance I'll clean all the earths again and if not it's an auto electrician I reckon

    HELP its all goin t*ts up,new airbag

    Hi Craig, I had the same problem with my rear bags. I found the best option I had was plenty or releasing fluid around the pin. (They did break and I used molegrips) then keep wiggling / rotating and pulling until it finally came out. When I put new ones in I copperslipped them, unbelievably...

    loosing the will to live!!

    First and foremost go and find a specialist who can set the ride height. I reckon thats the problem (I had the same on my 97 4.6 when a new front sensor was fitted). The other one could be the same issue. As I say the lead from Ebay means you can put the necessary software on your laptop...

    loosing the will to live!!

    Hi They are a labour of love. I'm sure it's fixable but first can you give us a clue of whats happening / not happening. Symptoms and whats been done. A bit more detail may help. Some good people on here and I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it. If you're paying for air suspension re...

    Front suspension airbag leaking

    Cheers Keith. I was wondering if you could do that. I've just downloaded Rave but was looking at the wiring diagrams to try and sort the DSE out. I'll have a dabble in the morning and see what happens!:5bcheers2:

    Engine rattle

    I've been quite fortunate with mine so far. 124k miles and always had fully synthetic oil in it (although some people say it shouldn't have). I started getting a slightly ticky lifter but I have the agency for Lubeguard oil additives and stuck some engine additive in. Thankfully within 100...

    Have I been a prat with the EAS?

    Mine did the same thing. I just put the manual overide switch in and moved the suspension switch down then up and all was fine. I've also got a soap test failure on front left. Hoping it will sort itself:doh:

    Engine rattle

    Cam lobes worn? Sticky hydraulic lifter? Oil too thin / old? If it's when warm I would assume it's oil related.

    glow plug change

    I assume you mean the inlet manifold? It's pretty straight forward to remove. Just make sure you have new gaskets for where it mates to the head. If you use 1/4" drive sockers and a 12mm long reach socket, got small dainty hands etc etc you can do whilst it's in place. I haven't so I...

    Hi everyone, My I'm having fun this weekend with both Range rovers! The 4.6 this time. I have changed the front suspension airbags as they were worn out to the cords. All went well and when I went out this morning the front left corner was on its bump stop! Been out all day and just...

    EAS Pump Cycling

    Must be cos I got one of those super fandangled gel filled ones! Just got home from a useless afternoon on the diesel to find the n/s/f suspension has deflated. Flat battery again so cant start the car (Left leads at the unit 10 miles away!) So tomorrow I'll have to check for leaks! Not...

    P36 DSE intermittent electrical faults

    Check the shields are in place under the wings (I've never had that problem) also that the suspension plugs on the height sensors are firmly home and maybe a bit of waxoyl over them to be sure. Also make sure the waterproof cover is on the rear of the alternator covering the terminals...

    P38 DSE after engine change woes

    Right. Went back and spent an hour with it this afternoon. I have checked the main earth wire behind aircon pump and its secure and clean. Put ignition on with Relay 19 out. Car says windows not set but thats all. Put in relay 19 the clicking starts and seems to take a lot of juice from...
