right,took it to tim frys today,flow check went fine,pointed out viscous fan wasnt working as well as it should be,seeing as everything else has been replaced i went down that route and forked out for a new one. came home,changed the oil and filter,fitted the new fan and you can hear the...

coolant level when cold is between max mark and the bottom of the header tank,this is where it always seems to return to no matter how much i top it up...just blows it out the overflow gradually.......

very true,im not convinced its the rad tho..it wasnt replaced by me but looks new and has a 2011 date sticker on it,would it really knacker up that quickly? possible water pump more than the rad?

right,just got home from work,seems i was wrong....engines hot,got a little bit hotter coming up said hill so pulled over at the top,jumped out and tried to stop the fan blades with a rolled up newspaper to no effect soi guess that seems to be working ok...gonna try and getit over tim fry...

Data i can spin it freely when engines hot after just turning it off,is always the way ive been told to check them,if i cant spin it its failed.....i didnt have a newspaper on me to try and stop it when it was idling,but could probably check that tomorrow,whats the mod to get the aircon fans on...

146k,has had a new head at some point very recently,no paperwork to say why tho...

One other thing i forgot to mention,since ive had it ive kept an eye on the water level as every time i fill it up to max on the header tank,it always spits a bit out the overflow and drops to about halfway between the max mark and the bottom of the tank but never goes lower than this...

having been chuffed to bits with my 2.5dse rangey since ive had it,today it let me down slightly when doing its first job which has kind of put a dampener on my enthusiasm for it... I know its bloody hot at the moment,couple of times recently coming up the hill to home ive noticed the temp...

cup holder? ive been searching high and low for a cup holder in my p38......do they have them?? was thinking the other day in macdonalds its a bit of a poor show for a car that was so expensive when new it doesnt even have a cup holder.....go on then,where are they? :P

Just come back from 10 days in spain,rangey started first time after being left sat in the rain,no problems to report so dead chuffed with him :) Got a bit of a trek this weekend down to exeter then on down to cornwall then back up monday morning.....fingers crossed lol if anyone sees me sat...

Well...glad im not alone lol :p Ive had the ABS fault warning flash up once but touch wood hasnt done it since... Only other thing that threw me was when i first got it,pulled up a pumps,filled it up without locking it then when i got back in it it said "engine immobilised" that,was a bit...

Whoops...my fault....id left it in drive :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Still getting used to an auto....sorry.....

Just got in my rangey 99 T 2.5DSE and it wont start.... Has been fine all morning... unlock it,wait for coil light to go out,turn key...nothing...lights stay on on dash,not showing any faults,not saying engine immobilised,all normal apart from not starting,not even attempting to..no noise from...

Went out this morning to start chucking all the crap in the back of the rangey this morning from the now deceased trooper only to find the spare wheel well with about 2 inches of water in it..... Odd thing is,theres no wet carpets and no tracks so i cant really tell where its coming in...its...

does that mean we get free reciever upgrades then? :D

Check for what bud? we refilled it to correct level with new fluid if thats what you mean :) nearly 2 litres came out when pipes were removed so binned that,fluid looked a bit cloudy if anything but not "burnt" and smelled normal. Has made quite a noticeable difference in the way it...

As above,if your not planning on replacing the cooler itself dont try and remove the pipes from there. I was warned by the guy at tim fry landrovers when i bought my new cooler that the bolts strip the thread from the coolers when removed thus rendering them pretty useless which then entails...

Not sure what your problem could be but ive noticed mine does this if i leave the car for more than 2 mins ie to fill up with fuel without locking it,when i get back in it i have to press the unlock button on the fob once to get it to start otherwise i get the engine immobilised message too...

Drove home tonight with a huge smile on my face for the 1st time since ive had my rangey,reason for this being shes still holding her water after replacing the fiddly O ring the other day but this evening fitted a new Auto Transmission Cooler as the old one was leaking which in turn led me to...

ive got a powder one in my vw van,only costhey are prone to it and the fact my mates bay window went up in flames after he refitted the engine one day and had one handy...i was stood there watching the whole thing and how quick he managed to put it out.....of course it could have ended...
