Chort & datatek - well called. Took her over to garage this morning - brakes worked until I pulled into his yard when 3 warning lights came on and pedal went soft. He had a look round, confirmed it wasn't anything obvious and suggested a Land Rover specialist nearby. Again helpful and broke...

Mr Rowland - thank you Mozz Thasnk you also. My sweet girl is a dream for towing, absolutely no problem if keeping it sensible. Feel it a bit at 60 and over when coaches or large vans pass. But at 55 - 60 sweet. I tow a twin axle 1819 KG unladen caravan. Previously towed a 950 KG on wife's...

Just re-read post and realised I didn't say.... 1998 P38 4.6 HSE

Hi all Only seem to log on when I have a problem, hopefully someday I'll know enough to give others advice :) I'm in the Lakes wth my daughter and our caravan, arrived Monday no problem. This afternoon we went to the Lakeland Motor Museum and when I moved off in the car park found I had a...

Thanks. Being an excellent tow vehicle is part of how I convinced my better half to allow me a toy :) My only fears are from a lack of knowledge/experience of both towing and of RR. Normally I take my time to work round the car and get to know all the mechanical bits - what's likely to go...

Hi, searched but nothing specific bringing this together for me so seeking the collectives advice :) I recently bought a 1998 4.6 V8 auto P38a running on LPG - whilst I have a history file I don't know the history (as I didn't do the work). Normally with a new car I'd spend the first 6...

If the power steeing fluid is ok - which it seems to be - it can only be gearbox fluid? Does the autobox have a cooler with pipes to the front (just guessing as new to RR's myself). But red fluid = ATF which must be one of those two

New thermo switch ordered so out with the soldering iron next week. For the meantime assuming the only risk to running the orange wire to an earth is on the compressor, ie overheating/burning out? Wammers, noticed you aren't far from me (updated my location). Anyways much thanks to all for...

Duff thermal switch it seems then. Somebody suggested that first off :rolleyes: No continuity between the orange & black pins on the compressor plug.

Well the good news...... jumped the relay connections and the compressor kicked in, ran the engine and left it to do it's business for 10 mins. I now have a Range Rover sitting proudly on standard. Given the length of time it ran before rising majestically (and within a few minutes back &...

Guys, again thanks for the useful info. Had some time to fiddle a little tonight and started with "is the compressor pumping?" Couldn't hear it, couldn't feel any vibration when I wrapped my hand around it and no sign of heat build up. The engine was running, gear in P and all doors (except...

Thanks guys First time I tried I did have the drivers door open..... Been out again, this time let it run a bit with door open, closed door and sat for a while. Couldn't feel any upwards sensation nor hear the compressor. Also opened the bonnet and couldn't hear the compressor. I'm...

Hi all, been a lurker on the site for a while after joining to pick up advice for my wifes Freelander. Well now I've properly joined the club and got the Range Rover I always wanted - a P38 4.6 HSE with LPG conversion. Unfortunately my first post suggests I might have missed something on my...

LoL Yep did have a good check and nothing to show a bang of any sort. Took the chance while Kwik Fit had it up on ramp to double check........if it's had a bang it ain't showing! Also nothing recorded on HPI Had a quick look for Synchrone's but not finding much. Someone suggested...

Thanks Ming Any brands you prefer?

Okay guys & gals seeking some advice and saying hello........ Just bought a 2004 TD4 HSE for my (better) half that had a bit of a pull when driving. Put it down to soft tyres (they were soft). Sorted the pressures and, while much improved, there's still a slight tug to the left. Had the...
