    Location of Intake Air Temperature Sensor IAT

    There's no separate, distinct intake air temperature sensor monitored by the ECM (or ECU or how you want to call it). All the info (air quantity) is given by the MAF. That's why is called Mass Air Flow sensor/meter - the data that it gives shows the mass of the air passing through it. And at...

    Just put in a new battery - no coil light! DOH??

    The door locking/unlocking/alarm function is one thing and the immobilizer is another. So it still can be an immob. fault. Check the red immob. light (the one with key on it) on the right of the dash when u turn the key to start the engine. It should stay off. PS: Oops. I remembered than not...

    two tone/ art deco

    Yeap, photoshop is the way to go. If you don't have it there are lots of other freeware alternatives to do same thing. Instead of painting it white I suggest go and buy some white adhesive film and apply it on the roof. Same stuff that is used for vehicle decoration/lettering/advertising. I...

    transfer case diff lock

    The short answer is YES to both questions. The long answer is that I think you'd better read the user manual. You can get it from here: Land Rover Owner Information

    axle oil

    They say EVO 1 is for the gearboxes. They also say it's good for auto gearboxes as well. Another "one size fits all"? I can't find the specification for this oil. The EVO 2 they say is for the transfer box, axles, swivels. The specs needed for these are not so hard to achieve so the price is...

    axle oil

    For the transfer box and axle diffs u can safely use both GL4 or GL5 (EPX 80W-90 is GL5). It's up to you .... Don't mind the debate on the french forum, just use the info on the 1st post (except the part# for the oil, it's STC9158 for the 1 litre MTF94 and STC9157 for the 5 litre MTF94 - this...

    axle oil

    Jason, speaking of 80W-90 GL4/GL5: - you don't have brass syncros in the transfer box - you can't use 80W-90 in the gearbox (which does have brass syncros) ==> you shouldn't bother with what eats what and where. But to answer your question, usually GL5 eats brass, it's all about additives used...

    axle oil

    discool, I guess you checked the Castrol lubricant advisor where they advice for Syntrax Universal. Indeed, the data sheet for Syntrax Universal says that it can replace EPX 80W-90 ( TDS-Syntrax Universal-1880 ). Here's the EPX data sheet for comparison...

    Which way did you go: engine out or gearbox out? Did you remove the center console? The top bolts are easy to reach once the engine is tilted a bit.

    TDI 200 / 300 Crank

    No, the 200Tdi and the 300Tdi don't use the same crankshaft. 200Tdi shares the same crank as 2.5 petrol, 2.5 diesel and 2.5 turbo diesel, part # ERR1181.

    Straightening the Steering Wheel

    The steering wheel has 28 splines, so this would give you, roughly, 12.85 degrees increments, which is not good enough IMO. Another reason for not adjusting the steering wheel straight ahead position by rotating it is that the steering box has to work in the middle (central) position when...

    Brakes coming on!

    My advice would be to change the brake fluid. Especially if you didn't change it in the past years. Use only new fluid from a sealed bottle.
