    Range Rover TDV8 Non Start confusion

    Thanks both, I am away from any tools or a jump pack so it will be an RAC trip to my local specialist tomorrow. This has been one of the most reliable cars I have owned dispite it’s 140k and, of course, servicing and fettelling constantly.

    Range Rover 1322 Turbo Question. Slightly Urgent!

    Morning all, I am finding it very difficult to find an answer to this question. I have been offered a very clean L322 3.6 TDV8 with 130k. It has a good history and I can secure it at trade (7500) via a friend in the business. It came in as a trade-in and he retails much more expensive Range...

    Discovery 3 advice

    Hi all, I am selling my P38 and thinking along the disco 3 line. There seems to be a fair few around at the 10k mark with good history and reasonable mileage. My question to the disco experts are: 1. When should all of the bets have been changed? (Explanation of all the belts would be amazing!)...

    Very Low mileage L322

    L322 3.0 Td6 2003 I am looking at an L322 3.0 Td6 with a mileage of 56k. It has had only one owner and a full service history. With this mileage I am concerned that the gearbox will fail at the golden 80k mark. Am I being stupid? Also what else could be a potential problem area (I am talking big...

    Odd Hevac issue

    Morning all, could someone please advise? (P38 2.5 DSE 2000) From time to time, usually when the weather is very cold, I get the Book Symbol when first starting the car. The symbol remains and the blowers will only blow hot. However, if after a few mins I turn the car off then on again, the book...

    td5 or P38 opinions please????

    Try a P38 DSE with a superchip (if you are not towing anything) they are not fast but I get 25 - 28 mpg and if you choose carefully its a truly great car.

    NANOCOM or NOT?

    Thanks again for all your collective advice on which Range Rover to have next. The decision was made to go for a P38 again and stay with Diesel. I found a great example with full history and so far... No faults! So my question is: Thanks to all of the learning that I have done on LANDYZONE, I am...

    L322 experts? Dilemma time

    I didn't manage to get to that car before it was sold but, have found another with a new gearbox and a very impressive history but big miles (145000) I am not worried about economy as I run a diesel A3 as an everyday car and the RR as my hobby vehicle. Can anyone point to a buyers checklist or a...

    What about a supercharged 4.2. Is that totally mad? I have an 2005 XKR and it's totally reliable.

    So, Have been away for some time. P38 2.5 DHSE had to go as new house was purchased and was worried that it's amazing ability to drain my wallet would result in neglect and, therefore, its undoing. So sold to a great Range Rover dealer and gone to a great home. Since then have been driving an...
