    Has no one had or heard of this problem before?

    Slow gearbox

    My automatic gearbox has started to get lazy of late. When I put it in drive it wont change out of first until the gearbox is warm unless I do about 5000rpm, which I don't because I don't want to blow up a cold engine. When it does change up for the first time, it does it with a jolt as if...

    Being a pauper I've never had a car with cruise control, so have no idea how to operate, if it even works on my old tank. I also got no handbook with the car, so no help here either. It's not something I have a burning desire to use, but I do want to know if it works. So, does anyone know how...

    lol, me too, but I thought cruise control allowed me to let go of everything and have a nap ;)

    New owner with a list of faults

    @ Bobmar - I've got a free new motor coming tomorrow from the guy I bought it from who says the switch is fine, so hopefully it should be fairly straight forward to replace. If that doesn't work I'll attach the switch box :) Cheers @ Alex - I've always fancied a Range Rover too, but never...

    I suspected as much. How should it work? I got the car up to 75mph, pressed the button, the switch lit up. Then I let off the throttle and the car slowed down. I pressume that means it's buggered??? Just read something about a vacuum in the engine bay that's prone to leaking, so I'll check...

    I now need to find out what all the buttons do (or used to do) as I don't have an owners handbook. Is the handbook downloadable anywhere? I have a switch that looks like a motorway sign that lights up (and does nothing) when pressed, plus two switches on the steering wheel. Think I'll...

    Tried again the next time the fuel light came on (the next day) and that time managed to get nearly £70 in. That should keep me going for about 220 miles if I take it steady. I took to the tailgate with a screwdriver, then with hammer and it now opens and closes :) I think I'm learning they...

    Cruise control query

    Hi, I have a 1992 Rangie Vogue SE auto and think it has cruise control but don't know how to work it. It has a button that looks like a motorway sign that lights up when I press it but it doesn't seem to do anything. There are also two buttons on the steering wheel but I can't read what they...

    New owner with a list of faults

    Cheers Alex :) I've still not done much, but did manage to fix the tailgate, then took it for a spin to Milton Keynes visiting relatives. It behaved well but was incredibly thirsty giving about 15mpg with 4 adults and a baby at about 70-80mph. Not a big problem though as I have a fuel card...

    I'm in Harlow and have had the range rover for a couple of hours, so it's now time to treat it as it was meant to be treated ;)
