+1. Low voltage throws up all sorts of gremlins. Rangeys like a big healthy battery. Even if it hasn't gone flat before, worth checking the condition and sorting before winter.

How did you let yourself in with the key? Did you use the eka code? You'll need to follow the handbook instruction to re-mobilise. Check the state of your battery as well.

+1. Classic symptoms for this common fault.

Put a britpart rad in my 4.6 early summer (after seeking advice on here) and also top rad hose. Been fine so far (only a few months I know, but done about 5000 miles) with a noticeable improvement in temp (no more fluctuations even in scorchio weather and sitting in traffic). Top hose was fine...

'Dirty Ole Man' - but + 1, I agree - don't jump!

Its still the dry scorchio season down here!;)

High running costs?? A P38?? Surely not.

Check rangerovers.net. It's covered on there along with loads of other handy how to's.

Have you checked the gearbox oil level/condition?

Interesting. Just filled the survey - wonder if they'll adopt my suggestion of pre '99 mot exemption??! Thanks for posting:cool2:

Could be temp sensor if cutting out when engine gets hot. I'd get it on some proper diagnostics otherwise it could be an expensive guessing game.

If you're following instructions from Rave they tell you to disconnect the battery for just about everything; and probably for changing the wiper blades.;)

Check the obvious first, i.e. cables from battery, especially earth strap; but yes diagnostics good idea. Good luck with it, let us know how you get on.

Just back from my London work runs, all fully loaded with my tools. Nearly got taken out by a fat bloke in an ejoke who didn't think looking to his right before pulling out was good driving practice. Just passed the 165000 miles, so maybe the engine is now run in which is why its driving so...

Did you have a good quality replacement waterpump fitted; ie with a metal impeller? Lots have plastic. I fitted a britpart one (Iknow, I know) a few years back and it lasted about 6 months before part of the plastic broke off.

:clap2::hysterically_laughi You could be a TopGear presenter Saint. Got any flowery shirts and long hair??:monitor_punch:

Been a long summer of driving; done just over 4000 miles since start of July what with holidays and work, all of it in the Rangey. But something has got me very confused - throughout all those miles the 4.6 p38 performed faultlessly!! And I mean no problems at all ( not even little ones). No...

Plugs the right way round then. Are the lambda sensors fitted in tightly (to get carbon on the outside); better check when you're cleaning them.

Is your car stuck at wading height?? No wonder you need the steps!!:D:D:D

V8's rule (cos they're already there!):D:high5:
