De-ionised water? I have been using tap water and anti-freeze. What effect does the de-ionised water have?

Wammers I don't think they are suggesting that the engine runs hotter, in fact I doubt it would as the thermostat (if it's a good one!) will kick in at the same temperature and allow the radiator to do it's job as normal. The advantage that they are suggesting is that the lack of water...

I was watching an episode of "Wheeler Dealers" the other day, and they were working on a Triumph TR6 which they suggested suffered from cooling issues......familiar I thought. The mechanic, Edd China, replaced alsorts, but he also replaced the coolant with a waterless version. The coolant...

Banjo bolt? Is that for a fluid feed of some sort?

P38 4.6 Vogue Automatic. 2000 model I'm planning to replace my transfer box this weekend, how long should it take? Are there any tricky bits? Is anything likely to break in the process of doing this (so that I can get a spare before I do it)? Tips, tricks gratefully received.

I had exactly the same last summer. It could be the fuel trims that need resetting, I bought some software and cables, and the system does an auto calibrate of the LPG and Petrol. I'm in Lancashire too, it might be worth a try, you are welcome to come over if you want? Glad to help if I can...

What is / are the symptom(s) when the chain is wearing out? Does it make a noise, what is the noise like if yes?

Took the MAF out this morning, cleaned it thoroughly with carb cleaner and then dried it out with a hair drier. Re-fitted it and it is running smoothly again! TIP: don't let RAC men spray easy start through your MAF! Once again, thanks to everyone who has contributed to sorting this one out...

Further update. As you know the range rover is now running but it is running oddly! It was fine before the loss of sync issue and nothing that I have done could cause it to run badly. It is revs up just fine. I loaded a saved copy of the LPG ECU settings back into the ECU to make sure that...

I have to say a massive thank you to DON1 for lending me his Syncmate and for driving to a halfway point to let me take it home. Just got home after a trip along the M62 to pick up the sync mate. Went straight to the vehicle and followed the instructions, the green flashing light came on which...

I wish my garage was tall enough to get the Range Rover in! I'd be working on it now! I'll check those too in the morning.

Firstly, a very big thank you to Mozz Smith for his time on the phone this afternoon. Ok, further updates! Following a long conversation with Mozz Smith who was extremely helpful and very patient as we went through the sync routine for the key fob / alarm system. Mozz is confident that the...

Where are you?

The Hawkeye gave me the EKA code and I have tried entering it with the key as described in the handbook. No difference. Any other ideas gents?

Yes, I have read the manual, but it says that once locked, which it already is, it cannot be unlocked. Anyway, now the Hawkeye has picked up some faults as it can connect correctly following the replacement of the OBD port: Fault 39: P1672 Immobilser - Incorrect Code Value Not Plausible -...

OK, I have replaced the OBD port and now my Hawkeye will connect to the Body electrics etc... I can read the ECU code that is in the BECM now, but I can't see how to enter that into the ECU. The BECM is locked which according to the Hawkeye manual, is correct. Is there a way to enter the code...

Am I right in thinking that the engine ECU is in the compartment between the battery and the fuse box in the engine bay? If yes, then I think it is a completely different ECU, unless the original has had a chip inserted or something and the installer has put a Zavoli sticker on the ECU along...

My Hawkeye does have V5 of the software on it. I can't get to the function "Security Re-Learn" Where is that? Also, I can see that the various diagnostic tools will do the sync between the original BECM and the factory fitted ECU, but mine is an LPG converted one so the ECU has been replaced...

Oh, just seen the post on Hawkeye - how do I update it?

Looks like the Hawkeye doesn't do much really, perhaps I had better put it on eBay. What should I buy to replace it, I would like a device that can do lot's of things with the vehicle. Don't mind spending a few quid if I get something that covers lots of functions....
